2016-05-10iwlwifi: mvm: add reorder buffer per queueSara Sharon
Next hardware will direct packets to core based on the TCP/UDP streams. This logic can create holes in reorder buffer since packets that belong to other stream were directed to a different core. However, those are valid holes and the packets can be indicated in L3 order. The hardware will utilize a mechanism of informing the driver of the normalized ssn and the driver shall release all packets that SN is lower than the nssn. This enables managing the reorder across the queues without sharing any data between them. The reorder buffer is allocated and released directly in the RX path in order to avoid various races between control path and rx path. The code utilizes the internal messaging to notify rx queues of when to delete the reorder buffer.

2016-05-10iwlwifi: mvm: add infrastructure for tracking BA session in driverSara Sharon
According to the spec when a BA session is started there is a timeout set for the session in the ADDBA request. If there is not activity on the TA/TID then the session expires and a DELBA is sent. In order to check for the timeout, data must be shared among the rx queues. Add a timer that runs as long as BA session is active for the station and stops aggregation session if needed. This patch also lays the infrastructure for the reordering buffer which will be enabled in the next patches.

2016-03-30iwlwifi: mvm: support bss dynamic alloc/dealloc of queuesLiad Kaufman
"DQA" is shorthand for "dynamic queue allocation". This enables on-demand allocation of queues per RA/TID rather than statically allocating per vif, thus allowing a potential benefit of various factors. Please refer to the DOC section this patch adds to sta.h to see a more in-depth explanation of this feature. There are many things to take into consideration when working in DQA mode, and this patch is only one in a series. Note that default operation mode is non-DQA mode, unless the FW indicates that it supports DQA mode. This patch enables support of DQA for a station connected to an AP, and works in a non-aggregated mode. When a frame for an unused RA/TID arrives at the driver, it isn't TXed immediately, but deferred first until a suitable queue is first allocated for it, and then TXed by a worker that both allocates the queues and TXes deferred traffic. When a STA is removed, its queues goes back into the queue pools for reuse as needed.

Commit 69c7fda40921c125eeeef6a827f6270ac6aa1baa removed the users of iwl_mvm_tid_data.reduced_tpc. Due to a conflict, I forgot to commit the hunk that removed the field itself. Do this know. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
2016-02-27iwlwifi: mvm: add duplicate packet detection per rx queueSara Sharon
Next hardware will direct TCP/UDP streams to different cores. Packets belonging to the same stream will be directed to the same core. The result is that duplicates will be always directed to the same rx queue were the first packet was received. This enabled parallelizing the duplicate packet detection across the different cores, without sharing data between the rx queues.

2016-02-01iwlwifi: mvm: add new ADD_STA command versionSara Sharon
The 9000 hardware introduces the frame releaser, which keeps track of the aggregation window and notifies host of the window status. This requires in turn updating the hardware with the RX BA session window size. Firmware API was changed to enable that, update the driver accordingly.

2016-01-07iwlwifi: mvm: check PN for CCMP/GCMP in the driverJohannes Berg
As we're working on multi-queue RX, we want to parallelise checking the PN in order to avoid having to serialise the RX processing. It may seem that doing parallel PN checking is insecure, but it turns out to be OK because queue assignment is done based on the data in the frame (IP/TCP) and thus cannot be manipulated by an attacker, since the data is encrypted and must first have been decrypted successfully. There are some corner cases, in particular when the peer starts using fragmentation which redirects the packet to the default queue. However this redirection is remembered (for the STA, per TID) and thus cannot be exploited by an attacker either. Leave checking on the default queue (queue 0) to mac80211, since we get fragmented packets there and those are subject to stricter checks during reassembly.

2015-12-20iwlwifi: mvm: Add a station in monitor modeChaya Rachel Ivgi
Currently when creating a new vif in monitor mode the driver doesn't allocate a specific station. This causes that in the situation that tx traffic is injected, the tx queues are not scheduled, with the result of a TFD queue hang. Fix that by allocating a station and ensuring its tx queues are scheduled.

2015-12-13iwlwifi: mvm: close the SP if we send fewer frames than expected in SPEmmanuel Grumbach
When we have holes in the BA window, there might be frames that have been ACKed between the read and the right pointers. This means that these frames won't be scheduled again by the SCD and the firwmare won't see them. This invalidates the number of frames we tell the firmware to send. When we detect this case, tell mac80211 to close the SP and to send an EOSP so that the firmware can be in sync. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
