e060e7adc2 mac80211: Always check rates and capabilities in mesh mode
In mesh mode there is a race between establishing links and processing
rates and capabilities in beacons. This is very noticeable with slow
beacons (e.g. beacon intervals of 1s) and manifested for us as stations
using minstrel when minstrel_ht should be used. Fixed by changing
mesh_sta_info_init so that it always checks rates and such if it has not
already done so.

ea1b2b45f5 mac80211: remove short slot/short preamble incapable flags
There are no drivers setting IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_SLOT_INCAPABLE
or IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_PREAMBLE_INCAPABLE, so any code using the
two flags is dead; it's also exceedingly unlikely that any new driver
could ever need to set these flags.

The wcn36xx code is almost certainly broken, but this preserves the
previous behaviour.

48bf6beddf mac80211: introduce plink lock for plink fields
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.

cc57ac536a mesh_plink: use msecs_to_jiffies for proper time conversion
This is primarily an API consolidation and should make things more readable
it replaces var * HZ / 1000 by msecs_to_jiffies(var) which also handles
corner cases correctly.

There is a change of behavior as e.g. for HZ 100, t * HZ / 1000 will
return 0 for t < 10 but msecs_to_jiffies will return at least 1 always.

985e88b13a Revert "mac80211: keep sending peer candidate events while in listen state"
This reverts commit 2ae70efcea.

The new peer events that are generated by the change are causing problems
with wpa_supplicant in userspace: wpa_s tries to restart SAE authentication
with the peer when receiving the event, even though authentication may be in
progress already, and it gets very confused.

Revert back to the original operating mode, which is to only get events when
there is no corresponding station entry.

2ae70efcea mac80211: keep sending peer candidate events while in listen state
Instead of sending peer candidate events just once, send them as long
as the peer remains in the LISTEN state in the peering state machine,
when userspace is implementing the peering manager.
Userspace may silence the events from a peer by progressing the state
machine or by setting the link state to BLOCKED.

Fixes the problem that a mesh peering process won't be fired again after
the previous first peering trial fails due to like air propagation error
if the peering is managed by user space such as wpa_supplicant.

This patch works with another patch for wpa_supplicant described here
which fires a peering process again triggered by the notice from kernel.

6c6fa49649 mac80211: mesh_plink: handle confirm frames with new plid
The 802.11 standard says when processing a plink confirm
frame:

"If the peerLinkID in the mesh peering instance has not been
set, the Local Link ID field of the Mesh Peering Confirm
request shall be copied into the peerLinkID in the mesh
peering instance."

We were only doing this when receiving an open peering frame,
but it could happen that the open frame gets lost and so we
should handle this case rather than rejecting the confirm and
failing the whole peering process.

2b470c39e8 mac80211: remove ignore_plink_timer flag
The mesh_plink code is doing some interesting things with the
ignore_plink_timer flag.  It seems the original intent was to
handle this race:

cpu 0                           cpu 1
-----                           -----
                                start timer handler for state X
acquire sta_lock
change state from X to Y
mod_timer() / del_timer()
release sta_lock
                                acquire sta_lock
                                execute state Y timer too soon

However, using the mod_timer()/del_timer() return values to
detect these cases is broken.  As a result, timers get ignored
unnecessarily, and stations can get stuck in the peering state
machine.

Instead, we can detect the case by looking at the timer expiration.
In the case of del_timer, just ignore the timers in the following
(LISTEN/ESTAB) states since they won't have timers anyway.

204d130426 mac80211: clean up mesh local link ID generation
802.11-2012 13.3.1 implicitly limits the mesh local link
ID range to that of AID, since for mesh PS the local link
ID must be indicated in the TIM IE, which only holds
IEEE80211_MAX_AID bits.

Also the code was allowing a local link ID of 0, but this
is not correct since that TIM bit is used for indicating
buffered mcast frames.

Generate a random, unique, link ID from 1 - 2007, and drop
a modulo conversion for the local link ID, but keep it for
the peer link ID in case he chose something > MAX_AID.

272a9e2614 mac80211: mesh_plink: don't ignore holding timer
The ignore_plink_timer flag is set when doing mod_timer() if
the timer was not previously active.  This is to avoid executing
the timeout if del_timer() was subsequently called.  However,
del_timer() only happens if we are moving to ESTAB state or
get a close frame while in HOLDING.

We cannot leave HOLDING and re-enter ESTAB unless we receive a
close frame (in which case ignore_plink_timer is already set) or
if the timeout expires, so there actually isn't a case where
this is needed on mod_timer().

e1a0c6b3a4 mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first
step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag
in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field
indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the
station. Of course, make all drivers use it.

To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get
the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities,
so it can set up the new bandwidth field.

If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use,
also set the bandwidth accordingly.

Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as
the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of
the current setting.

While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not
ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it
really happens...)

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.

aa5a1b8e68 mac80211: stop plink timer only on mesh interfaces
Since mesh_plink_quiesce() would unconditionally delete
the plink timer, and the timer initialization was recently
moved into the mesh code path, suspending with a non-mesh
interface now causes a crash. Fix this by only deleting
the plink timer for mesh interfaces.

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.

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
STAs in the current MBSS support ERP rates.

Increases throughput about 20% for legacy rates when
enabled.
