[PATCH 0/7] cfg80211/mac80211: Add support to configure and monitor rssi threshold

[Tamizh chelvam]

This patchsets introduced new NL command and api to support
configuring rssi for the connected stations and api to notify
userspace application upon crossing the configured threshold.
This will be useful for the application which requires
station's current capability change information.

Tamizh chelvam (7):
  wireless: Change single cqm_config to rssi config list
  cfg80211: Add new NL command to configure peer specific rssi
    threshold
  mac80211: Add api to support configuring station specific rssi
    threshold
  cfg80211: Add support to notify station's rssi level crossing
  mac80211: Implement functionality to monitor station's rssi cross
    event
  cfg80211: Accept multiple RSSI threholds for STA_MON command
  mac80211: Add api to configure low and high RSSI threshold

[PATCH 1/7] wireless: Change single cqm_config to rssi config list

[Tamizh chelvam]

This patch changes single cqm_config into mac address based
rssi config list. This way the same structure can be
utilized by AP mode as well.

[PATCH 2/7] cfg80211: Add new NL command to configure peer specific rssi threshold

[Tamizh chelvam]

This patch add support to configure peer specific rssi configuration
to monitor station's signal strength variation.
New NL80211_CMD_SET_STA_MON introduced to configure rssi threshold
and hysteresis info using NL80211_ATTR_STA_MON_RSSI_THOLD and
NL80211_ATTR_STA_MON_RSSI_HYST along with NL80211_ATTR_MAC.
Driver supporting this configuration should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_STA_MON_RSSI_CONFIG.
Monitoring station's signal strength variation will be useful
for the application like steering.

[PATCH 4/7] cfg80211: Add support to notify station's rssi level crossing

[Tamizh chelvam]

Add cfg80211_sta_mon_rssi_notify api to update user space upon
crossing the configured rssi threshold of a station.
NL80211_CMD_NOTIFY_STA_MON introduced to send this event to
userspace along with NL80211_ATTR_STA_MON_RSSI_THRESHOLD_EVENT,
NL80211_ATTR_MAC and NL80211_ATTR_STA_MON_RSSI_LEVEL info.
Userspace application can make a decision depends on this
notification.

[PATCH 5/7] mac80211: Implement functionality to monitor station's rssi cross event

[Tamizh chelvam]

Triggers cfg80211_sta_mon_rssi_notify with the corresponding event when
station signal goes out of configured threshold. It uses rx data signal
to check against rssi threshold configured by the user.
This event will be useful for the application like steering to take
decision on any station depends on its current capability.

[PATCH 6/7] cfg80211: Accept multiple RSSI threholds for STA_MON command

[Tamizh chelvam]

Change the NL80211_CMD_STA_MON RSSI threshold attribut to
accept any number of thresholds as a sorted array. If
user send the configuration with single RSSI threshold then
the old mechanism is enabled. Same netlink event will be
generated in both cases. This patch introduced
set_sta_mon_rssi_range_config to configure high and low
value.
Driver supporting this feature should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_STA_MON_RSSI_LIST.

[PATCH 7/7] mac80211: Add api to configure low and high RSSI threshold

[Tamizh chelvam]

Add set_sta_mon_rssi_range_config api to support
configuring low and high RSSI threshold values
for a connected station. And trigger an event if a
station's signal strength goes out of configured
range.

I think something like rssi_mon_config would be better? Just _rssi_

Why do you need both now? Perhaps instead you should allow a NULL/all-
ones MAC address for where you have the direct pointer now, and remove
that? You anyway need to pass something to the peer argument in

even when the pointer is used.

That logic could use some comments if we even decide to keep it this
way.

NULL means "free all"?

What's the locking scheme for this? It's way more complex now so perhaps
stick ASSERT_RTNL() in there or so?

So I guess the wdev->rssi_config is used for the case of "always use
this config for any AP you're connected to" or so - but maybe it'd be
better to track the AP as a station? Then again, I guess we can't force
userspace to change that.

Here you link it to the BSSID anyway, but do we always have a
current_bss at this point?

It seems like this should already exist also for the CQM? Can we not

Wait, you went to all this effort in the first patch and now you don't

Re: [PATCH 3/7] mac80211: Add api to support configuring station specific rssi threshold

[Johannes Berg]

The subjects are a bit confusing - I think you should align the cfg80211
and mac80211 ones so it's clearer that this one is implementing the
previous one's API. Peer vs. station, and mac80211 doesn't add API but
implements it.

This patch doesn't really do anything though, so I guess you need to
combine it with patch 5.

I guess you should also combine this with patch 2, it's a bit weird to
only have one side and not be able to use it in one patch, and both
aren't all that big.

Missing documentation - but again, why not unify it with the existing
event? Or can't we because that might confuse older applications?
Perhaps anyway we should unicast these notifications? Not sure though,
perhaps one app could set them up and the other might care?

In fact, perhaps better to have something like

struct nl80211_sta_mon_prep {
	struct sk_buff *skb;
	....
};

struct nl80211_sta_mon_prep prep;

if (cfg80211_prepare_sta_mon(&prep))
	return;
...
cfg80211_send_sta_mon(&prep, gfp);

or so?

This seems really familiar - perhaps if you unify the cfg80211 API for
sta_mon and "normal" CQM (distinguish based on the peer address?) you
can unify this block of code too?

This seems weird - you just introduced it a few patches back, and now
you change it and even worry about compatibility and have both cfg80211
callbacks etc. Just remove set_sta_mon_rssi_config() and ask that
drivers/mac80211 implement set_sta_mon_rssi_range_config?

And maybe not have two bits here either?

Or do you expect somebody to actually really need the single threshold
in the near future? It seems you're implementing it for mac80211 only,
which doesn't care.

In the current cqm/sta_mon implementation the range_config will be 
updated before notify event posted to userspace.
To update the range config for a specific station we need to have this 
peer addr based configuration list which holds the thresholds info
to choose the next rssi range.
Or do you want me to handle and store the rssi_config structure in 
mac80211 and update it in mac80211 itself ? And simply pass the 
notification event to userspace application ?

First I've done patch to have single threshold value for AP mode and as

Is there any point in even offering the API for a single one though? I
mean - we only implement it in mac80211 now, and there we clearly
implement multiple, so single would never be used.

Yeah ok ... I'm thinking perhaps we could share some part of it, but
it's not really worth making it more complex due to that.

Yeah, though I'm still not sure why we need the single threshold thing
at all. List should always be a superset.

I don't have any issues with storing it in mac80211 - could attach it to
the station entry there?

Come to think of it, that might also clarify the lifetime rules. As it
is now, what if the station is removed? What are the lifetime rules for
a per-station configuration?

It would almost look like it stays here (or maybe I missed when you
remove it from the list when a station is removed), but that doesn't
seem like a good idea.

Please document the lifetime rules also in the API, and make sure you
implement them properly.

I guess it should be :-) Maybe assert on that, also to document the
locking rules.

Right, that sort of goes back to my thoughts about lifetime rules too.
The rule for stations would be to have it deleted when the station is
deleted, but I guess the rule for client-mode is to keep the config
active even when roaming?

I was just thinking that you don't need to *store* it like that, you
could still - in client mode - store the configuration treating the AP
as a (peer) station, perhaps with an ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff MAC address or
something (instead of using the BSSID, to get lifetime rules adjusted
right).

But now that I'm thinking about how the lifetime rules differ ... that's
probably not worth it.

Again though - see above. I'm not sure it's even correct to link it to
the BSSID since until now, I think the configuration would remain across
roaming?

If we go with mac80211 based approach then the lifetime of the 
configuration would be for the current connection.

In AP mode, the lifetime would be for the station's current connection. 
It will be removed in case of roaming/disconnected.

Going with mac80211 based storing configuration will remove these list 
implementation in the cfg80211.
So, there won't be any MAC address stored for client-mode in cqm_config 
structure.

As mentioned above storing configuration parameters in mac80211 will 
avoid this list implementation here.
So, no need of worrying about those roaming scenario know ?

For taking steering kind of decision single threshold value can be used 
to monitor
the station's rssi.

I believe superset you meant will accept a signle threshold

If so, we can remove the single threshold api implementation.
