2015-10-21mac80211: move station statistics into sub-structsJohannes Berg
Group station statistics by where they're (mostly) updated (TX, RX and TX-status) and group them into sub-structs of the struct sta_info. Also rename the variables since the grouping now makes it obvious where they belong. This makes it easier to identify where the statistics are updated in the code, and thus easier to think about them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2015-07-17mac80211: mac80211: Check SN for deactivated mpathsJesse Jones
When processing a PREQ or PREP it's critical to use the incoming SN. If that is improperly done routing loops and other types of badness can happen. But the code was always processing path messages for deactivated paths. This path fixes that so that if we have a valid SN then we use it to verify that it is a message we can accept. For reference the relevant section of the standard is 13.10.8.4 which doesn't address the deactivated path case at all. I also included a special case for when our peer reboots or restarts networking. This is an important case because without it there can be a very long delay before we accept path messages from that peer. It's also a simple case and intimately associated with processing messages for deactivated paths so I used one patch instead of two.

2015-07-17mac80211: mesh: don't invalidate SN on discovery failureJesse Jones
The 2012 spec mentions that path SNs can be invalid when created (see section 13.10.8.4 table 13-9) but AFAICT never talks about invalidating SNs. Which makes sense: if we have figured out the path to a target at a certain SN then we want to remember that fact. Failing to do so can lead to routing loops because if we don't have a valid SN then we have no way of knowing whether an incoming path message leads to or away from the target. However currently when discovery fails we zero out mpath->flags which clears MESH_PATH_SN_VALID. This patch fixes that so that only the discovery relevant flags are cleared.

2015-07-17mac80211: mesh: add missing case to PERR processingAlexis Green
When the nexthop is unable to resolve its own nexthop it will send back a PERR with a zero target_sn. According to section 13.10.11.4.3 step b in the 2012 standard that perr should be forwarded and the associated mpath->sn should be incremented. Neither one of those was happening which is rather bad because the originator was not told that packets are black holing.

2015-06-10mac80211: Fix a case of incorrect metric used when forwarding a PREQAlexis Green
This patch fixes a bug in hwmp_preq_frame_process where the wrong metric can be used when forwarding a PREQ. This happens because the code uses the same metric variable to record the value of the metric to the source of the PREQ and the value of the metric to the target of the PREQ. This comes into play when both reply and forward are set which happens when IEEE80211_PREQ_PROACTIVE_PREP_FLAG is set and when MP_F_DO | MP_F_RF is set. The original code had a special case to handle the first case but not the second. The patch uses distinct variables for the two metrics which makes the code flow much clearer and removes the need to restore the original value of metric when forwarding.

2014-04-22mac80211: mesh: always use the latest target_snBob Copeland
When a path target responds to a path request, its response always contains the most up-to-date information; accordingly, it should use the latest target_sn, regardless of net_traversal_jiffies(). Otherwise, only the first path response is considered when constructing a path, as it will have the highest target_sn of all replies during that period.

2013-02-04mac80211: mesh power save basicsMarco Porsch
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.
