Johannes Berg bf7cd94dcc mac80211: clean up mesh code
There's various code with strange indentation,
questionable loop and locking constructs, etc.

The bigger change is moving the "sdata" argument
to the first argument of all functions, like all
other mac80211 functions that have one.

Thomas Pedersen 2b5e196775 mac80211: cache mesh beacon
Previously, the entire mesh beacon would be generated each
time the beacon timer fired. Instead generate a beacon
head and tail (so the TIM can easily be inserted when mesh
power save is on) when starting a mesh or the MBSS
parameters change.

Also add a mutex for protecting beacon updates and
preventing leaks.

Thomas Pedersen 39886b618a mac80211: consolidate MBSS change notification
A few mesh utility functions will call
ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify(), and then the caller
might notify the driver of the same change again. Avoid
this redundancy by propagating the BSS changes and
generally calling bss_info_change_notify() once per

Thomas Pedersen 45b5028e86 mac80211: fix mesh sta teardown
The patch "mac80211: clean up mesh sta allocation warning"
moved some mesh initialization into a path which is only
called when the kernel handles peering. This causes a hang
when mac80211 tries to clean up a userspace-allocated
station entry and delete a timer which has never been
initialized.

To avoid this, only do any mesh sta peering teardown if
the kernel is actually handling it.

The same is true when quiescing before suspend.

Marco Porsch 3f52b7e328 mac80211: mesh power save basics
Add routines to
- maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode
- indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames
- track neighbor STAs power modes
- buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode
- add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons
- release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods

Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power
mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer
link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh
config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor
changes.
Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the
non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated
mesh peering is currently not working when either node is
configured to be in power save mode.

Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS
Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions.
For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame
flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA
pointer is already available.

Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific
power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to
represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations.
Track power modes based on received frames.

Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS
neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer).

Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame
buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer
and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons.

Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or
deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE
similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received
Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames.

Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use
the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status.
Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end
the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and
show large delay spikes and frame losses.

Thomas Pedersen 3b144658bc mac80211: dynamic short slot time for MBSSs
The standard mandates mesh STAs to set the ERP Short Slot
Time capability info bit in beacons to 0. Even though this
is their way of disallowing short slot time for mesh STAs,
there should be no harm in enabling it if we determine all

Johannes Berg 55de908ab2 mac80211: use channel contexts
Instead of operating on a single channel only,
use the new channel context infrastructure in
all mac80211 code.

This enables drivers that want to use the new
channel context infrastructure to use multiple
channels, while nothing should change for all
the other drivers that don't support it.

Right now this disables both TX power settings
and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need
to be re-enabled on a channel context basis.

Additionally, when channel contexts are used
drop the connection when channel switch is
received rather than trying to handle it. This
will have to be improved later.

Marco Porsch df32381896 mac80211: fix unnecessary beacon update after peering status change
ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify is called everytime a peer link is established
or closed, because the accepting_plinks flag in the meshconf IE *might* have changed.

With this patch the corresponding functions return the BSS_CHANGED_BEACON flag when a beacon update is necessary.

Also it makes mesh_accept_plinks_update the common place to update the accepting_plinks flag.
mesh_accept_plinks_update is called upon plink change and also periodically from ieee80211_mesh_housekeeping.
Thus, it also picks up changes of local->num_sta.

Javier Cardona dbf498fbaf mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization framework
This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).

The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
following functions:

    rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
received.
    adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
to be transmitted.

The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
implemented.  We also provide template functions for vendor specific
methods.

When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
and compensate clock drift.

In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
introducing a jitter of ~20us.

It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
etc.

Johannes Berg 074d46d1d2 wireless: rename ht_info to ht_operation
Since some of the HT code pre-dates 802.11n-2009
some names are wrong. The one that bothers me most
is that "HT operation" is called "HT information"
in our code and that causes confusion.

Rename "HT information" to "HT operation" and also
the control_chan field to primary_chan to match
the name used in the spec.

Felix Fietkau 888d04dfbe mac80211: use compare_ether_addr on MAC addresses instead of memcmp
Because of the constant size and guaranteed 16 bit alignment, the inline
compare_ether_addr function is much cheaper than calling memcmp.
