mac80211: only allocate one queue when using iTXQs

2019-04-26T11:02:11+00:00

There's no need to allocate than one queue in the iTXQs case now that we no longer use ndo_select_queue to assign the AC. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: set NETIF_F_LLTX when using intermediate tx queues

2019-04-26T11:02:11+00:00

When using iTXQ, tx sequence number allocation and statistics are run at dequeue time. Because of that, it is safe to enable NETIF_F_LLTX, which allows tx handlers to run on multiple CPUs in parallel. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Acked-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Fix kernel panic due to use of txq after free

2019-04-23T11:45:30+00:00

The txq of vif is added to active_txqs list for ATF TXQ scheduling in the function ieee80211_queue_skb(), but it was not properly removed before freeing the txq object. It was causing use after free of the txq objects from the active_txqs list, result was kernel panic due to invalid memory access. Fix kernel invalid memory access by properly removing txq object from active_txqs list before free the object.

net: remove 'fallback' argument from dev->ndo_select_queue()

2019-03-20T18:18:55+00:00

After the previous patch, all the callers of ndo_select_queue() provide as a 'fallback' argument netdev_pick_tx. The only exceptions are nested calls to ndo_select_queue(), which pass down the 'fallback' available in the current scope - still netdev_pick_tx. We can drop such argument and replace fallback() invocation with netdev_pick_tx(). This avoids an indirect call per xmit packet in some scenarios (TCP syn, UDP unconnected, XDP generic, pktgen) with device drivers implementing such ndo. It also clean the code a bit.

mac80211: never pass NULL params to ieee80211_if_add()

2018-12-18T12:17:26+00:00

This isn't really a problem now, but it means that the function has a few NULL checks that are only relevant when coming from the initial interface added in mac80211, and that's confusing. Just pass non-NULL (but equivalently empty) in that case and remove all the NULL checks. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: fix a kernel panic when TXing after TXQ teardown

2018-12-18T12:03:32+00:00

Recently TXQ teardown was moved earlier in ieee80211_unregister_hw(), to avoid a use-after-free of the netdev data. However, interfaces aren't fully removed at the point, and cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces can for example, TX a deauth frame. Move the TXQ teardown to the point between cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces and the free of netdev queues, so we can be sure they are torn down before netdev is freed, but after there is no ongoing TX.

mac80211: Clear beacon_int in ieee80211_do_stop

2018-11-09T07:56:38+00:00

This fixes stale beacon-int values that would keep a netdev from going up. To reproduce: Create two VAP on one radio. vap1 has beacon-int 100, start it. vap2 has beacon-int 240, start it (and it will fail because beacon-int mismatch). reconfigure vap2 to have beacon-int 100 and start it. It will fail because the stale beacon-int 240 will be used in the ifup path and hostapd never gets a chance to set the new beacon interval.
