[RFC 0/2] the filter stuff again

[Johannes Berg]

Repost of my filtering patches slightly bug-fixed. This
works great for me (in that I don't see beacons from
other BSSes etc), but we don't seem to have reached
concensus yet whether we want to do it this way.

[RFC 1/2] mac80211: allow drivers to indicate failed FCS/PLCP checksum

[Johannes Berg]

This patch allows drivers to indicate bad FCS/PLCP CRC to the stack and
have the stack drop packets like that except for monitor interfaces.

Do we need another flag to indicate ICV errors?
rt2x00 has the following fields to indicate problems during hardware decryption:
	ICV error -> How to report this to mac80211?
	MIC error -> The RX_FLAG_MMIC_ERROR flag can be set
	invalid key -> Could best be done by just not setting RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED I assume.

I think you either just drop the packet or give it to mac80211 decrypted
but with ICV still on so that mac80211 will verify the ICV (again) and
do whatever is appropriate. But I think dropping it ought to be fine. Do
we want this for monitoring maybe?

Not sure how interesting a frame with a ICV error will be,
on the other hand I am not even sure how a frame with a ICV error
looks like in rt2x00, discovering that will probably happen during
the hardware encryption implementation. ;)

It *could* be interesting in monitor mode if you're interested in lower
levels than I usually care about ;)

Yup :) I'd hold off on that for a bit though, I've been revamping that
part of mac80211 because it currently makes not much sense.

[RFC 2/2] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configuration

[Johannes Berg]

Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.

This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames according to the filter flags.

Multicast filtering is a bit special, which is why drivers
that do not require FIF_ALLMULTI for multicast address filters
(i.e. they actually have filters for multicast addresses)
need to set the new IEEE80211_HW_MULTICAST_FILTER flag and
call the ieee80211_get_mc_list_item() function.

At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().

The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to multicast.

WARNING: This patch makes the ralink drivers BUG_ON().

Personally I like the idea of this packet filtering, implementation
and driver interface looks allright to me.

If you can give me a warning when you are going to submit this
for inclusion, I'll cook up a patch to make it work for rt2x00. :)

This is slightly freaky for zd1211rw and probably other USB drivers. In 
most cases we can't act upon any of those filter flag changes in atomic

We could defer work like we do for multicast lists, but then the driver 
would be lying in that it would return from configure_filter saying that 
it has honoured some flags without actually having done so (yet).

Will that be a problem? I'm thinking maybe not, since the flags only 
affect RX and we can't determine which frames will be in the air at any 
time. [as opposed to such atomicity problems that relate to TX, we can

Yeah, I know, but it's running under the tx lock and I haven't seen a
way to drop that (yet)

Yup, I saw that you do that anyway so didn't think much of it.

It does matter a bit for scanning, if you have BSSID filters that affect
beacons and probe responses then you would want to turn those off before
transmitting the next probe response. However, when the multicast_count
parameter is -1 to indicate no changes in the multicast list (and you
then need to use the cached hash value in zd1211) the callback actually
*can* sleep.

This is a rather weird area of the patch. Splitting it up into two
callbacks makes no sense, and so far I have not understood why it runs
under the TX lock so haven't changed it.

Just had another idea related to this patch:

Currently, we pass multi_count >= 0 or == -1. And then we expect the
driver to call ieee80211_get_mc_list_item() to get the items. However,
the count is bogus because we add up all counts of the virtual
interfaces and don't account for duplicates. Also, however, no driver
cares about the count anyway.

Hence, we could instead of passing multi_count pass the getter function:

-        void (*configure_filter)(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, int multi_count,
-                                 unsigned int changed_flags,   
-                                 unsigned int *total_flags);
+	void (*configure_filter)(struct ieee80211_hw *hw,
+				 struct dev_mc_list * (*get_mc_item)(struct ieee80211_hw *hw,
+								     void *cookie),
+				 void *cookie,
+				 unsigned int changed_flags, unsigned int total_flags)

That way,
 (1) we get rid of the export of ieee80211_get_mc_list_item
 (2) get_mc_item gets to have a nicer interface without double pointers
 (3) there's no danger of somebody calling it outside the right place
 (4) we can use a NULL function/cookie ptr to indicate that the
     list hasn't changed.

Thoughts? I think I'll implement this, I like it much better than the
current interface. And I'll also look into getting it non-atomic. We're
not protected against concurrent execution anyway, but I expect drivers
would handle that? Or do we want that here? We can't protect all
callbacks among each other anyway with the tx() callback etc...

Ah, I see now, no way to do it because the networking core already locks
around set_multicast_list using netif_tx_lock_bh, probably for good
reason. And then propagating that lock to the master device is the right
thing to do as well. Looks like you'll have to continue offloading the
actual reconfiguration to the workqueue when called from set_multicast.

And in fact, it seems that to protect against concurrent modification in
different code paths I'll have to use the tx lock when calling this from
the MLME code. Can you make sure that the filter will be reconfigured
before further packets are transmitted, that is packets that are going
to go into ->tx() after ->configure_filter()?

I see three options to achieve this:

1) Use ieee80211_stop_queues() in ->configure_filter() and
   ieee80211_wake_queues() at the end of the workqueue function.

2) Throw away all packets until the workqueue function
   terminates.

3) Implement our own tx queue.

I prefer to do option (1) because it wouldn't require adding
additional fields to our private structure beside the work_struct
for the workqueue function, it is simple to implement and it would
not throw away any packets. Are there any side effects that I have
overlooked?

I think Michael says it's currently buggy if called outside of ->tx().

Yes, we had a bug in b43 where we used it in the periodic workqueue.
It causes really hard to track down system freezes on UP
systems due to races with the TX code.
It will hang and busy wait in the qdisc code when this triggers.
I didn't see a fix for this, yet.
But I think a fix could probably be to take the netif_tx_lock
in the ieee80211_stop_queues() function, so we make sure that no
TX is in progress while we stop it.

Ok. Of course, for zd1211 it'd be easy to set a flag in
configure_filter() and check that flag in tx() and if it's set then call
stop_queues().

That's just a general rule of thumb. configure_filter holds the tx lock so 
it's actually safe to do that there. In other cases, it can be buggy (some tx 
code can get stuck) and racy (frames can get enqueued after stopping the 
queues). The first can be fixed in mac80211, but the second can't be. For 
most cases, stopping the hardware queue(s) should be done instead and 
possibly flushing the queue or waiting for it to empty, if you're trying to 
adjust the radio.

I think that we should be able to get all this resolved when we rip out
the queue code and implement multiqueue devices. But if I want to do
that I need to reverse engineer b43 QoS first to have multiple queues ;)

In this case it's about adjusting the MAC (filtering) and I'm not even
sure the the USB device has a queue that can be stopped.

Subject: mac80211: revamp interface and filter configuration

Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.

This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
FIF_ALLMULTI.

Multicast filtering is a bit special, which is why drivers
that do not require FIF_ALLMULTI for multicast address filters
(i.e. they actually have filters for multicast addresses)
need to set the new IEEE80211_HW_MULTICAST_FILTER flag and
call the get_mc_item() function passed to the configure_filter
callback.

At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().

The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to all-ones.

WARNING: This patch makes the ralink and p54 drivers
BUG_ON().

[RFC 0/2] device configuration changes

[Johannes Berg]

The first patch introduces those PLCP/FCS CRC fail
flags I had posted earlier, and the second one is
the actual change.

[RFC 2/2] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configuration

[Johannes Berg]

Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.

This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames according to the filter flags.

Multicast filtering is a bit special, which is why drivers
that do not require FIF_ALLMULTI for multicast address filters
(i.e. they actually have filters for multicast addresses)
need to set the new IEEE80211_HW_MULTICAST_FILTER flag and
call the ieee80211_get_mc_list_item() function.

At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().
