Masashi Honma 76f43b4c0a mac80211: Remove invalid flag operations in mesh TSF synchronization
mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt() implements Extensible synchronization
framework ([1] 13.13.2 Extensible synchronization framework). It shall
not operate the flag "TBTT Adjusting subfield" ([1] 8.4.2.100.8 Mesh
Capability), since it is used only for MBCA ([1] 13.13.4 Mesh beacon
collision avoidance, see 13.13.4.4.3 TBTT scanning and adjustment
procedures for detail). So this patch remove the flag operations.

Pedersen, Thomas 3a53731df7 mac80211: mesh: decrease max drift
The old value was 30ms, which means mesh sync will treat
any value below as merely TSF drift. This isn't really
reasonable (typical drift is < 10us/s) since people
probably want to adjust TSF in smaller increments (for ie.
beacon collision avoidance) without mesh sync fighting
back.

Change max drift adjustment to 0.8ms, so manual TSF
adjustments can be made in 1ms increments, with some
margin.

Pedersen, Thomas 354d381baf mac80211: add offset_tsf driver op and use it for mesh
This allows the mesh sync (and debugfs) code to make incremental
TSF adjustments, avoiding any uncertainty introduced by delay in
programming absolute TSF.

Johannes Berg 8c5bb1fad0 mac80211: remove BUG_ON usage
These BUG_ON statements should never trigger, but in the unlikely
event that somebody does manage don't stop everything but simply
exit the code path with an error.

Leave the one BUG_ON where changing it would result in a NULL

Thomas Pedersen 43552be1da mac80211: update adjusting TBTT bit in beacon
This regression was introduced in "mac80211: cache mesh
beacon".

mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt()  was assuming that the
beacon would be rebuilt in every single pre-tbtt
interrupt, but now the beacon update happens on the
workqueue, and it must be ready for immediate delivery to
the driver.

Save a pointer to the meshconf IE in the beacon_data (this
works because both the IE pointer and beacon buffer are
protected by the same rcu_{dereference,assign_pointer}())
for quick updates during pre-tbtt. This is faster and a
little prettier than iterating over the elements to find
the meshconf IE every time.

Bob Copeland ce95320443 mac80211: mesh: only get tsf if we need it
The local TSF timer is used to compute the timing offset between
mesh peers on beacon reception.  However, asking the device for
the TSF is not very accurate, so we prefer to use rx->mactime
if available.  In the latter case, calling drv_get_tsf() just
adds more delay into the RX path, so skip it if we can.

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.

Marco Porsch 372039031c mac80211: fix for mesh sync to indicate TBTT adjustment
Currently the mesh sync code checks, whether peers indicate TBTT adjustment,
but it never sets the corresponding flag itself.

By setting ifmsh->tbtt_adjusting to true, it will set the corresponding field
in the mesh configuration IE of own beacons.
This indication will be set in the current beacon. The TBTT adjustment will be
performed afterwards, affecting the next beacon. Thus, the first beacon with
stable TBTT will not indicate adjustment anymore and peers will continue
tracking the new offset.

Thomas Pedersen 55fabefe36 mac80211: call drv_get_tsf() in sleepable context
The call to drv_get/set_tsf() was put on the workqueue to perform tsf
adjustments since that function might sleep. However it ended up inside
a spinlock, whose critical section must be atomic. Do tsf adjustment
outside the spinlock instead, and get rid of a warning.

Johannes Berg bdcbd8e0e3 mac80211: clean up debugging
There are a few things that make the logging and
debugging in mac80211 less useful than it should
be right now:
 * a lot of messages should be pr_info, not pr_debug
 * wholesale use of pr_debug makes it require *both*
   Kconfig and dynamic configuration
 * there are still a lot of ifdefs
 * the style is very inconsistent, sometimes the
   sdata->name is printed in front

Clean up everything, introducing new macros and
separating out the station MLME debugging into
a new Kconfig symbol.

Javier Cardona ec14bcd20f mac80211: Take into account TSF adjustment latency in Toffset setpoint
When testing mesh synchronization we observed a global TSF slowdown that
was dependent on the number of synchronized mesh stations.  This seems
to be caused by the TSF adjustment (read/write) latency.

Adding a small margin to the Toffset setpoint solved the problem.

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.
