46f6b06050 mac80211: Encrypt "Group addressed privacy" action frames
Previously, the action frames to group address was not encrypted. But
[1] "Table 8-38 Category values" indicates "Mesh" and "Multihop" category
action frames should be encrypted (Group addressed privacy == yes). And the
encyption key should be MGTK ([1] 10.13 Group addressed robust management frame
procedures). So this patch modifies the code to make it suitable for spec.

5caa328e38 mac80211: implement codel on fair queuing flows
There is no other limit other than a global
packet count limit when using software queuing.
This means a single flow queue can grow insanely
long. This is particularly bad for TCP congestion
algorithms which requires a little more
sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere
headdrop on limit overflow.

Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs)
CoDel5 on flow queues. This improves TCP
convergence and stability when combined with
wireless driver which keeps its own tx queue/fifo
at a minimum fill level for given link conditions.

fa962b9212 mac80211: implement fair queueing per txq
mac80211's software queues were designed to work
very closely with device tx queues. They are
required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation
easily and efficiently.

Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it
only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to
hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and
inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness.

This change doesn't translate directly to
immediate and significant gains. End result
depends on driver's induced latency. Best results
can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx
queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

80a83cfc43 mac80211: skip netdev queue control with software queuing
Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11
aggregation requirements and hand out
packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are
destined to the same tid. This does more bad than
good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave
on an ethernet interface.

Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue
congestion control whenever a global AC limit was
hit. This meant in practice a single station or
tid queue could starve others rather easily. This
could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could
just end up with poor aggregation performance.
Increasing the AC limit would increase induced
latency which is also bad.

Disabling qdiscs by default and performing
taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion
control on the other hand makes it possible for
tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while
preventing stations starving each other.

This increases aggregation opportunities and
should allow software queuing based drivers
achieve better performance by utilizing airtime
more efficiently with big aggregates.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and

6e0456b545 mac80211: add A-MSDU tx support
Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support. For good
performance, drivers need frag_list support as well. This avoids the
need for copying data of aggregated frames. Running without it is only
supported for debugging purposes.

To avoid performance and packet size issues, the rate control module or
driver needs to limit the maximum A-MSDU size by setting
max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.

f6d4671a08 mac80211: close the SP when we enqueue frames during the SP
Since we enqueued the frame that was supposed to be sent
during the SP, and that frame may very well cary the
IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP bit, we may never close the SP
(WLAN_STA_SP will never be cleared). If that happens, we
will not open any new SP and will never respond to any poll
frame from the client.
Clear WLAN_STA_SP manually if a frame that was polled during
the SP is queued because of a starting A-MPDU session. The
client may not see the EOSP bit, but it will at least be
able to poll new frames in another SP.

facde7f332 mac80211: don't send deferred frames outside the SP
Frames that are sent between
ampdu_action(IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START) and the move to the
HT_AGG_STATE_OPERATIONAL state are buffered.
If we try to start an A-MPDU session while the peer is
sleeping and polling frames with U-APSD, we may have frames
that will be buffered by ieee80211_tx_prep_agg. These frames
have IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set since they are sent to
a sleeping client and possibly IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP.
If the frame is buffered, we need clear these two flags
since they will be re-sent after the move to
HT_AGG_STATE_OPERATIONAL state which is very likely to
happen after the SP ends.

dfdfc2beb0 mac80211: Parse legacy and HT rate in injected frames
Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the
information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of
injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the
legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit
e6a9854b05 ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API").

The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame
injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having
rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine
grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of
tests.

Preferably drivers would call ieee80211_tx_status also for tx'ed beacons

Failure to check assoc state can cause crashes in the lower-level driver

forwarding in the presence of fixed mesh paths: frames were transmitted
to stations with whom we hadn't yet completed peering.

e9de01907e mac80211: don't clear all tx flags when requeing
When acting as AP and a PS-Poll frame is received
associated station is marked as one in a Service
Period. This state is kept until Tx status for
released frame is reported. While a station is in
Service Period PS-Poll frames are ignored.

However if PS-Poll was received during A-MPDU
teardown it was possible to have the to-be
released frame re-queued back to pending queue.
In such case the frame was stripped of 2 important
flags:

 (a) IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
 (b) IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP

Stripping of (a) led to the frame that was to be
released to be queued back to ps_tx_buf queue. If
station remained to use only PS-Poll frames the
re-queued frame (and new ones) was never actually
transmitted because mac80211 would ignore
subsequent PS-Poll frames due to station being in
Service Period. There was nothing left to clear
the Service Period bit (no xmit -> no tx status ->
no SP end), i.e. the AP would have the station
stuck in Service Period. Beacon TIM would
repeatedly prompt station to poll for frames but
it would get none.

Once (a) is not stripped (b) becomes important
because it's the main condition to clear the
Service Period bit of the station when Tx status
for the released frame is reported back.

This problem was observed with ath9k acting as P2P
GO in some testing scenarios but isn't limited to
it. AP operation with mac80211 based Tx A-MPDU
control combined with clients using PS-Poll frames
is subject to this race.

db388a567f mac80211: move TX PN to public part of key struct
For drivers supporting TSO or similar features, but that still have
PN assignment in software, there's a need to have some memory to
store the current PN value. As mac80211 already stores this and it's
somewhat complicated to add a per-driver area to the key struct (due
to the dynamic sizing thereof) it makes sense to just move the TX PN
to the keyconf, i.e. the public part of the key struct.

As TKIP is more complicated and we won't able to offload it in this
way right now (fast-xmit is skipped for TKIP unless the HW does it
all, and our hardware needs MMIC calculation in software) I've not
moved that for now - it's possible but requires exposing a lot of
the internal TKIP state.

As an bonus side effect, we can remove a lot of code by assuming the
keyseq struct has a certain layout - with BUILD_BUG_ON to verify it.

This might also improve performance, since now TX and RX no longer
share a cacheline.

This counter is unsafe with concurrent TX and is only exposed
through debugfs and ethtool. Instead of trying to fix it just
remove it for now, if it's really needed then it should be
exposed through nl80211 and in a way that drivers that do the
fragmentation in the device could support it as well.

5a490510ba mac80211: use per-CPU TX/RX statistics
This isn't all that relevant for RX right now, but TX can be concurrent
due to multi-queue and the accounting is therefore broken.

Use the standard per-CPU statistics to avoid this.

ce5b071a45 mac80211: don't update dev->trans_start
This isn't necessary any more as the stack will automatically
update the TXQ's trans_start after calling ndo_start_xmit().

80616c0db8 mac80211: allow segmentation offloads
Implement the necessary software segmentation on the normal
TX path so that fast-xmit can use segmentation offload if
the hardware (or driver) supports it.

680a0daba7 mac80211: allow drivers to support S/G
If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then
we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just
needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for
that being possible.)

However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle
fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize().

Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the
code in mac80211 at all anyway.

2d981fddb0 mac80211: allow checksum offload only in fast-xmit
When we go through the complete TX processing, there are a number
of things like fragmentation and software crypto that require the
checksum to be calculated already.

In favour of maintainability, instead of adding the necessary call
to skb_checksum_help() in all the places that need it, just do it
once before the regular TX processing.

Right now this only affects the TI wlcore and QCA ath10k drivers
since they're the only ones using checksum offload. The previous
commits enabled fast-xmit for them in almost all cases.

For wlcore this even fixes a corner case: when a key fails to be
programmed to hardware software encryption gets used, encrypting
frames with a bad checksum.

3ffd884012 mac80211: extend fast-xmit to cover IBSS
IBSS can be supported very easily since it uses the standard station
authorization state etc. so it just needs to be covered by the header
building switch statement.

e495c24731 mac80211: extend fast-xmit for more ciphers
When crypto is offloaded then in some cases it's all handled
by the device, and in others only some space for the IV must
be reserved in the frame. Handle both of these cases in the
fast-xmit path, up to a limit of 18 bytes of space for IVs.

If the driver handles fragmentation then it wouldn't
be done in software so we can still use the fast-xmit
path in that case.

17c18bf880 mac80211: add TX fastpath
In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache
that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be
able to build the frame more quickly. This cache is rebuilt when
external triggers imply changes, but a lot of the checks done per
packet today are simplified away to the check for the cache.

There's also a more detailed description in the code.

ba8c3d6f16 mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation
This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which
they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues
short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs.

The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver -
queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by
calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue
management later without changing drivers using this code.

This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU
aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.
