[PATCH v2] d80211: Add software sequence support

[Ivo van Doorn]

Most hardware can keep track of sequence numbers themselves,
unfortunately *most* doesn't cover all devices. ;)
This patch will keep track of the (per-bss) sequence number
if the flag IEEE80211_HW_SOFTWARE_SEQUENCE has been set.

Can this be a library function instead? Our TX path is already cluttered
enough...

This could be exported getting an skb instead of the ieee80211_hdr.

Then the driver can just call it whenever it needs the sequence number
for a frame. It'll need to be a bit smart about fragmentation but I
think that's ok.

I may be radical, but I think that a lot of things hardware can do
belong into library functions the driver can use instead of cluttering
the stack with it.

If we're going to switch to a library approach, let's do it all at once. I 
don't want some features requiring flags to toggle and others requiring a 
function to call.

The advantage of non-library approach in this case is that you don't
need to search for a BSS the frame belongs to. Ivo's patch searches for
it but I think it's possible to remember it from the past.

If this feature is implemented as a library function you need to search
for a BSS in any case. That's way more overhead than one condition in
the tx path.

Entirely library approach is not possible. So we're going to end up
with mixed environment in any case.

To be specific, I don't like the library approach when we can simply set a 
flag and let the stack handle it. It may clutter the TX path, but it reduces 
complexity on the driver end. Also, this particular test can be moved from 
the TX path to device registration with some changes to the way the TX 
handlers are handled. I will need to check if there are other TX handlers 
that would benefit from this to make it worthwhile. For things like 
encryption, I think library functions or callbacks will really be needed to 
do things right, but for software sequence numbers, I'd rather stick with a 
simple flag to enable/disable it. It also allows us to report if a particular 
device supports software sequence numbers which the use of a library function 
would not specify so directly.

In general, I would prefer not to use library approach for things like
this sequence number support. In this case, there may not even be need
for that flag if the operation itself is fast enough. In other words, I
don't think it would cause problems for other drivers if the seq# were
set regardless of whether it is neede or not. Just doing this without
the flag may be the cleanest way and not likely to use much more CPU
than verification of a flag before doing this..

I am not so sure that storing this information in struct ieee80211_sta_bss is 
correct. As far as I can tell, that is strictly for storing information scan 
results and beacon information. Nothing outside of ieee80211_sta.c uses it. 
struct sta_info or struct ieee80211_if_ap (sta interfaces have a pointer to 
the struct ieee80211_if_ap on the master device) may be a better choice. I 
think struct sta_info is the right one though there is a problem - it isn't 
allocated until a successful association.

Thinking about it more, sdata should be the correct place. It's more
per-interface thing than per-BSS (although the difference is small in
this particular case).

That would also optimize the sequence handler since the BSS
does not have to be looked up anymore. I'll create the patch to do this asap.

You mean storing the sequence counter per-interface won't work,
or per-bss?

Both.

When you have a WDS link and some other wireless interface at the same
time, their source addresses are (in most cases) the same. You want to
have the sequence control counter shared by them. Actually, it will
probably work most of time even when they have different counters. The
situation where it won't work is if you have two virtual interfaces,
one in STA and second in WDS mode, both connected to the same AP. I
can't figure out how this particular setup could be useful but it's
generally not disallowed.

Anyway, using different counter for a WDS interface probably violates
802.11 (although it's not much specific in this case). I believe it
will work in most cases, though.

Any ideas how to solve that?

Thanks,

Are there more situations where it might be important to know
if the WDS interface has to keep in mind that there is a virtual STA interface
on the same network? Because it might be worthwhile to make a check for that
in the creation of the WDS interface (and in the STA interface).

Make the counter per-mac address?

Wouldn't that be the same as per-interface?

Don't WDS interfaces have the same MAC as the corresponding AP
interface?

They do.

Per-MAC address counters would work but it's another overhead we need
to add (allocate a new reference-counted structure, put a pointer to it
into sdata, correctly deal with it when MAC address changes).

I think we can live with the counter in sdata. It's not perfect but it
should work for all useful cases. The only situation where it won't
work I have been able to imagine is the case I described (STA and WDS
with the same address) and this particular setup is currently being
denied by d80211 (and it's not allowed by 802.11, btw).

If we consider this as a problem later, we can always change to per-MAC
address counters or something as it's completely internal to the stack
and no driver changes would be required.

Yup, I agree. Put it into drivers :P

Ok. I'm fine with putting it into the stack. I'll take Michael by the
word though that he'll do dynamically registered tx handlers later ;)

So just to be clear, this patch does not need any tweaking anymore right?
Latest patch series for rt2x00 accidently  had software sequence handling
removed out of rt2400pci and rt2500pci so it is actually broken and at the moment.
So I need to either restore it back into the rt2x00 drivers or the mac80211 stack needs
to get the support so rt2x00 can use it. :)

Just stick the counter in sdata if you haven't done so already. Should be fine 
once that's done.

Ah ok. I had it in ieee80211_sta_bss.
I'll create a new patch with the sequence number in the right location.

Thanks.

[PATCH v3] d80211: Add software sequence support

[Ivo van Doorn]

Most hardware can keep track of sequence numbers themselves,
unfortunately *most* doesn't cover all devices. ;)
This patch will keep track of the (per-bss) sequence number
if the flag IEEE80211_HW_SOFTWARE_SEQUENCE has been set.

This 3rd version of the patch has the sequence number stored
in the ieee80211_sub_if_data structure.

The question has been asked (by Jouni), but I didn't see
a good answer (maybe I missed it).
Why is this a flag at all? The sequence counter is such a
trivial thing that having an extra conditional is just _more_
overhead. Why not simply calculate the seq all the time and
let hardware override it, if it has the capability to do so?
Calculation of the seq is cheap. No need to bloat code.

It would also safe me a patch for rt2400pci and rt2500pci as well. ;)

Well if nobody objects against setting the sequence number
always, then below patch would be sufficient. :)

I'd prefer specifying this as inline function.

No need to do "& IEEE80211_SCTL_SEQ" here.

Please reduce this and previous comment to one line each.

I'd prefer | instead of + here.
