Add A-MSDU Rx aggregation support.
To support IEEE 802.11n, we need to be able to process A-MSDU frames.
The present of the HT control field indicates it is A-MSDU frame.
This patch adds support to discover and process A-MSDU frames.

If you put the eth = stuff before ethertype = you can make this code
something like ethertype = be16_to_cpu(eth->h_proto) instead of the
hardcoded endianness conversion. And the memcmp() could be
compare_ether_addr(eth->h_dest, rfc1042_header) instead.

I don't understand this cast of eth to u8*. That seems wrong given that
there's an ethhdr there where the first byte isn't a length byte.

Maybe there's a way to get an skb that actually points into the payload?
Not sure that is desirable though we really should optimise the receive
path.. it does far too many copies already.
I'll look some things later again, have to go now.

We're not comparing the data eth points to here, but the eth pointer
itself. It's pretty weird code. Maybe this can be solved in a
more clear way. But it might be correct as-is.

Hmm. Can we add the appropriate stuff to struct ieee80211_hdr in
include/linux/ieee80211.h and use that? Like
struct ieee80211_hdr *hdr = skb->data;
if (!(fc & ...))
return 0;
if (le16_to_cpu(hdr->qos_control) & QOS_CONTROL_A_MSDU_PRESENT)
return 1;
return 0;
Then again, this is a problem with the addr4 format, we'll probably have
to split up ieee80211_hdr into a 3-addr and a 4-addr format, or use a
union like this:
struct ieee80211_hdr {
__le16 frame_control;
__le16 duration_id;
__u8 addr1[6];
__u8 addr2[6];
__u8 addr3[6];
__le16 seq_ctrl;
union {
__u8 addr4[6]; /* keep for easier access */
struct {
__u8 addr4[6];
__le16 qos;
__le32 ht;
} _4addr;
struct {
__le16 qos;
__le32 ht;
} _3addr;
}
} __attribute__ ((packed));
Or something like that. Can you get frames w/o qos information but with
ht info? If so, we'll need even more cases here :/
Then again, how about we simply add a few inlines like
__le16 ieee80211_get_qos() that gives you the qos field etc, and then
use those. This seems dangerous anyway considering the possible presence
of the HT field.
> + hdrlen = ieee80211_get_hdrlen(fc);
I haven't seen a patch to ieee80211_get_hdrlen to add the HT field.
Isn't that missing?

Nit: this should increase the counter we have for too short frames
somewhere.

So that now points to the first actual subframe ethhdr. I misread that
in my first comment. Why do you actually skb_pull on this skb? It would
probably be more efficient to just assign "eth" in the different cases
since that needs no memory write (eth will probably be kept in a
register). And you throw it away anyway...

And that compares the pointer, not the value at it as I thought. Sorry.

rename to subframe_len maybe?

Nope, not nice to do this. You really need to check if eth_len doesn't
exceed the original skb's length or people can crash this by sending you
short frames with bogus huge eth len embedded in it. And if you move the
check up a bit then you can reuse "skb" for the last subframe in the
case where people don't send us garbage:
int remaining = subframe_len - ((u8*)eth - skb->data);
if (remaining < 0)
/* idiots. should blacklist their mac address */
return TXRX_DROP;
if (remaining < 4 /* padding */) {
frame = skb;
skb = NULL;
skb_pull(blabla)
} else {
frame = dev_alloc_skb(...)
if (!frame)
return TXRX_DROP;
}
or something like that.
Don't you also need to set ((ethhdr*)frame->data)->h_proto to something
other than the length? Not exactly sure though, it seems eth_type_trans
can handle that and I don't have the 802.3 specs handy.

I think it'd be good to move that closer to the netif_rx.

Use a new ethhdr* variable for that, like subframe_hdr, and then use
subframe_hdr->h_dest. Makes it much clearer what's going on with these
subframes.

I'm pretty sure you mean frame here instead of skb in both cases and
this is a copy/paste error from the other data rx handler.

That memset is useless on a newly allocated frame.

Hm. Can we put all these things into <linux/ieee80211.h> instead? I'm ok
with you putting it here for now, we'll just move them later. Or you can
add a patch to your series before this one that already moves the
defines and adds this one.

3000 just a safe number I picked up. I will change to
dev_alloc_skb(local->hw.extra_tx_headroom + eth_len);
Are any more space needed?

Yeah, I read it wrong. It's fine, see my new mail.

11n is QoS derived but it's not WME.
I think we should extract qos control filed and ht control fields from
header in pre-handlers
one of them is qos parser, just it needs to save the qos fields on
the txrx data
This will be needed in both rx and tx path. With 11n there are few
other points in the code that these fields need to be accessed.
You can query fc whether this fields are set.
ieee80211_txrx_data
u16 fc, ethertype;
+ u16 qos_ctrl; /* cpu order */
+ u16 ht_ctrl;
The other option is to introduce again all the types of headers
24,26...32. I don' t know real reason why they are not present in
mac80211 but it looks intentional.
Next option to avoid the blow up of header types we can use offset functions
int ieee80211_get_qosctl_offset(u16 fc)
int ieee80211_get_htctl_offset(u16 fc)
This will give consistent offset of these control fields but it still
won't work when you use this remove qos field handler.
Other thing is to change ieee80211_get_hdrlen function as the header
is longer now by other 2 octets (ht control field)

I am calling ieee80211_rx_h_data_agg after ieee80211_rx_h_remove_qos_control which
clears all QoS data which include QOS_CONTROL_A_MSDU_PRESENT bit. We can solve this by
adding new field is_frame_agg to ieee80211_txrx_data.u.rx.is_frame_agg which will be set in
ieee80211_rx_h_parse_qos or we can add new function to ieee80211_rx_pre_handlers just to do that. the other
option is to shuffle calling sequence here if that possible to call ieee80211_rx_h_data_agg
before ieee80211_rx_h_remove_qos_control. any opinion?

Add A-MSDU Rx aggregation support.
To support IEEE 802.11n, we need to be able to process A-MSDU frames.
The present of the HT control field indicates it is A-MSDU frame.
This patch adds support to discover and process A-MSDU frames.

Since it's part of the QoS stuff that .11n adds I think we should stick
it into the qos parser.

Here you allocate a new frame which can be sent back to the device when
one of the aggregated frames was a multicast frame and we're an AP
device. You also correctly add extra_tx_headroom, but it seems that this
is missing some skb_reserve(extra_tx_headroom), no? Could you make a
patch adding it? I'm not sure I fully understand the code there.

Was there ever any reply to this?

Right. I do know what it is :)

You seem to know this much better than me, think you could fix it?

I didn't get one but never double-checked the code either, the relevant
patches I had touching this have fallen off the list anyway :)

Ah, ok, I didn't bother to re-check. Mind doing a patch then that rips
out this code?

HT aggregtion is extension of QoS. Multicast and broadcast frames are
not QoS frames and therefore such frames want be incorporated into an
A-MSDU.

I've checked the Spec again and I was wrong. Theoretically, A-MSDU
packet can be a multicast packet so we get back to the problem you've
pointed first.
I thought the Destinations Address (DA) and Senders Address (SA)
parameter values in the subframe header must map to the
same Receiver Address (RA) and Transmitter Address (TA)
in the MAC header. Thus, broadcasting or multicasting is not allowed.
