This isn't necessary any more as the stack will automatically
update the TXQ's trans_start after calling ndo_start_xmit().

The function really shouldn't be called prepare_for_handlers(),
all it does is check if the frame should be dropped. Rename it
to ieee80211_accept_frame() and clean it up a bit.

With promisc support gone, only AP and P2P-Device type interfaces
still clear IEEE80211_RX_RA_MATCH. In both cases this isn't really
necessary though, so we can remove that flag and the code.

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with
the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the
monitor mode support should be used instead.
Removing it removes a lot of corner cases.

Allow debug builds to configure the station hash table maximum
size in order to run with hash collisions in limited scenarios
such as hwsim testing. The default remains 0 which effectively
means no limit.

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.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
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.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
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.

The driver can clearly enable fast-xmit since it does rate
control in the device and thus must do duration calculation
there as well.

IBSS can be supported very easily since it uses the standard station

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.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
For hwsim, the duration field in frames is already not valid for
the common case of HT/VHT MCSes, so there's little point in trying
to keep it accurate for the legacy rates. Enable the fast-xmit code
to allow testing that, although given the dependency on hardware
crypto it will only be enabled in open network configurations.

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.

A couple of enums in mac80211.h became structures recently, but the
comments didn't follow suit, leading to errors like:
Error(.//include/net/mac80211.h:367): Cannot parse enum!

make[1]: *** [Documentation/DocBook/80211.xml] Error 1
Makefile:1361: recipe for target 'mandocs' failed
make: *** [mandocs] Error 2
Fix the comments comments accordingly. Added a couple of other small

Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate
control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's
likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms.
In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an
update and other data access are run concurrently, for example
when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this
can cause firmware crashes.
Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult,
just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal
data structures the algorithms maintain.
I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its
advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm
running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes
this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the
client. With this change, the system survives this test.

The mesh plink code uses sta->lock to serialize access to the
plink state fields between the peer link state machine and the
peer link timer. Some paths (e.g. those involving
mps_qos_null_tx()) unfortunately hold this spinlock across
frame tx, which is soon to be disallowed. Add a new spinlock
just for plink access.
