ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them
free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning
TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the
fragmentation check both do.
Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent,
and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76,
mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free.
Document the skb ownership guarantee in the function's kdoc.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Currently, mac80211 does not encrypt or decrypt (Re)Association frames
(Request and Response) because temporal keys are not yet available at
that stage.
With extensions from IEEE P802.11bi, e.g. EPPKE, temporal keys can be
established before association. This enables the encryption and
decryption of (Re)Association Request/Response frames.
Add support to unset the IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT flag when
the peer is marked as an Enhanced Privacy Protection (EPP) peer and
encryption keys are available for the connection in non-AP STA mode,
allowing secure transmission of (Re)Association Request frames.
Drop unprotected (Re)Association Request/Response frames received from

Currently tx_handlers_drop statistics are handled only for slow TX
path and only at radio level. This also requires
CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS to be enabled to account the dropped
packets. There is no way to check these stats for fast TX,
at interface level and monitor without enabling the debug configuration.
Hence, add a new counter at the sdata level to track packets dropped
with reason as TX_DROP during transmission for fast path, slow path
and other tx management packets. Expose this via ethtool statistics,
to improve visibility into transmission failures at interface level
and aid debugging and performance monitoring.
Place the counter in ethtool with other available tx_* stats for
better readability and accurate tracking.

An S1G TIM PVB is encoded differently compared to a non-s1g TIM PVB.
As the AP dictates which encoding mode it uses, here we only implement
block bitmap encoding. This is the default encoding mode used by
all current vendor implementations.
Additionally, S1G has a maximum AID count of 8192, however we are
limiting the current implementation to 1600. This has no resemblence
to the standard and is purely an implementation detail. The reason for
this is due to the TIM elements maximum length of 255. This allows for,
at most, 25 encoded blocks for a PVB encoded with block bitmap. Support
for the maximum of 8192 AIDs will require an implementation of page slicing
to be added to mac80211.
As a result, we perform extra validation on both the STA and AP side
when receiving an AID as an S1G interface.
Add support for block bitmap encoding for an S1G AP and limit the
maximum AID count to 1600 for the current mac80211 implementations.

Ignore TXQs with the flag IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP when scheduling a queue.
The flag is only set after all fragments have been dequeued and won't
allow dequeueing other frames as long as the flag is set.
For drivers using ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() this prevents an
loop trying to push the queued frames while IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP is set:
After setting IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP the driver will call
ieee80211_return_txq(). Which calls __ieee80211_schedule_txq(), detects
that there sill are frames in the queue and immediately restarts the
stopped TXQ. Which can't dequeue any frame and thus starts over the loop.

When short beaconing is enabled, check the value of the sb_count
to determine whether we are to send a long beacon or short beacon.
sb_count represents the number of short beacons until the next
long beacon, where if its value is 0 we are to send a long beacon.
The value is then reset to the long beacon period, which represents
the number of beacon intervals between each long beacon. The decrement
process follows the same cadence as the decrement of the DTIM count value.

Currently, per-radio attributes are set on per-phy basis, i.e., all the
radios present in a wiphy will take attributes values sent from user. But
each radio in a wiphy can get different values from userspace based on
its requirement.
To extend support to set per-radio attributes, add support to get radio
index from userspace. Add an NL attribute - NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RADIO_INDEX,
to get user specified radio index for which attributes should be changed.
Pass this to individual drivers, so that the drivers can use this radio
index to change per-radio attributes when necessary. Currently, per-radio
attributes identified are:
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_RX
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_SHORT
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_LONG
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FRAG_THRESHOLD
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RTS_THRESHOLD
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_LIMIT
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_MEMORY_LIMIT
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM
By default, the radio index is set to -1. This means the attribute should
be treated as a global configuration. If the user has not specified any
index, then the radio index passed to individual drivers would be -1. This
would indicate that the attribute applies to all radios in that wiphy.

This reverts commit 484a54c2e5. The CoDel
parameter change essentially disables CoDel on slow stations, with some
questionable assumptions, as Dave pointed out in [0]. Quoting from
there:
But here are my pithy comments as to why this part of mac80211 is so
wrong...
static void sta_update_codel_params(struct sta_info *sta, u32 thr)
{
- if (thr && thr < STA_SLOW_THRESHOLD * sta->local->num_sta) {
1) sta->local->num_sta is the number of associated, rather than
active, stations. "Active" stations in the last 50ms or so, might have
been a better thing to use, but as most people have far more than that
associated, we end up with really lousy codel parameters, all the
time. Mistake numero uno!
2) The STA_SLOW_THRESHOLD was completely arbitrary in 2016.
- sta->cparams.target = MS2TIME(50);
This, by itself, was probably not too bad. 30ms might have been
better, at the time, when we were battling powersave etc, but 20ms was
enough, really, to cover most scenarios, even where we had low rate
2Ghz multicast to cope with. Even then, codel has a hard time finding
any sane drop rate at all, with a target this high.
- sta->cparams.interval = MS2TIME(300);
But this was horrible, a total mistake, that is leading to codel being
completely ineffective in almost any scenario on clients or APS.
100ms, even 80ms, here, would be vastly better than this insanity. I'm
seeing 5+seconds of delay accumulated in a bunch of otherwise happily
fq-ing APs....
100ms of observed jitter during a flow is enough. Certainly (in 2016)
there were interactions with powersave that I did not understand, and
still don't, but if you are transmitting in the first place, powersave
shouldn't be a problemmmm.....
- sta->cparams.ecn = false;
At the time we were pretty nervous about ecn, I'm kind of sanguine
about it now, and reliably indicating ecn seems better than turning it
off for any reason.
[...]
In production, on p2p wireless, I've had 8ms and 80ms for target and
interval for years now, and it works great.
I think Dave's arguments above are basically sound on the face of it,
and various experimentation with tighter CoDel parameters in the OpenWrt
community have show promising results[1]. So I don't think there's any
reason to keep this parameter fiddling; hence this revert.

In commit 0d9c2beed1 ("wifi: mac80211: fix monitor channel
with chanctx emulation") I changed mac80211 to always have an
internal monitor_sdata to have something to have the chanctx
bound to.
However, if the driver didn't also have the WANT_MONITOR flag
this would cause mac80211 to allocate it without telling the
driver (which was intentional) but also use it for later APIs
to the driver without it ever having known about it which was
_not_ intentional.
Check through the code and only use the monitor_sdata in the
relevant places (TX, MU-MIMO follow settings, TX power, and
interface iteration) when the WANT_MONITOR flag is set.

There are still surprisingly many non-chanctx drivers, but in
mac80211 that code is a bit awkward. Simplify this by having
those drivers assign 'emulated' ops, so that the mac80211 code
can be more unified between non-chanctx/chanctx drivers. This
cuts the number of places caring about it by about 15, which
are scattered across - now they're fewer and no longer in the
channel context handling.
