The driver 86 * keeps the fw's station table up to date with the ADD_STA command. Stations 87 * can be removed by the REMOVE_STA command. 88 * 89 * All the data related to a station is held in the structure %iwl_mvm_sta 90 * which is embed in the mac80211's %ieee80211_sta (in the drv_priv) area. 91 * This data includes the index of the station in the fw, per tid information 92 * (sequence numbers, Block-ack state machine, etc...). The stations are 93 * created and deleted by the %sta_state callback from %ieee80211_ops. 94 * 95 * The driver holds a map: %fw_id_to_mac_id that allows to fetch a 96 * %ieee80211_sta (and the %iwl_mvm_sta embedded into it) based on a fw 97 * station index. That way, the driver is able to get the tid related data in 98 * O(1) in time sensitive paths (Tx / Tx response / BA notification). These 99 * paths are triggered by the fw, and the driver needs to get a pointer to the 100 * %ieee80211 structure. This map helps to get that pointer quickly. 101 */ 102 103 /** 104 * DOC: station table - locking 105 * 106 * As stated before, the station is created / deleted by mac80211's %sta_state 107 * callback from %ieee80211_ops which can sleep. The next paragraph explains 108 * the locking of a single stations, the next ones relates to the station 109 * table. 110 * 111 * The station holds the sequence number per tid. So this data needs to be 112 * accessed in the Tx path (which is softIRQ). It also holds the Block-Ack 113 * information (the state machine / and the logic that checks if the queues 114 * were drained), so it also needs to be accessible from the Tx response flow. 115 * In short, the station needs to be access from sleepable context as well as 116 * from tasklets, so the station itself needs a spinlock. 117 * 118 * The writers of %fw_id_to_mac_id map are serialized by the global mutex of 119 * the mvm op_mode. This is possible since %sta_state can sleep. 120 * The pointers in this map are RCU protected, hence we won't replace the 121 * station while we have Tx / Tx response / BA notification running. 122 * 123 * If a station is deleted while it still has packets in its A-MPDU queues, 124 * then the reclaim flow will notice that there is no station in the map for 125 * sta_id and it will dump the responses. 126 */ 127 128 /** 129 * DOC: station table - internal stations 130 * 131 * The FW needs a few internal stations that are not reflected in 132 * mac80211, such as broadcast station in AP / GO mode, or AUX sta for 133 * scanning and P2P device (during the GO negotiation). 134 * For these kind of stations we have %iwl_mvm_int_sta struct which holds the 135 * data relevant for them from both %iwl_mvm_sta and %ieee80211_sta. 136 * Usually the data for these stations is static, so no locking is required, 137 * and no TID data as this is also not needed. 138 * One thing to note, is that these stations have an ID in the fw, but not 139 * in mac80211. In order to "reserve" them a sta_id in %fw_id_to_mac_id 140 * we fill ERR_PTR(EINVAL) in this mapping and all other dereferencing of 141 * pointers from this mapping need to check that the value is not error 142 * or NULL. 143 * 144 * Currently there is only one auxiliary station for scanning, initialized 145 * on init. 146 */ 147 148 /** 149 * DOC: station table - AP Station in STA mode 150 * 151 * %iwl_mvm_vif includes the index of the AP station in the fw's STA table: 152 * %ap_sta_id. To get the point to the corresponding %ieee80211_sta, 153 * &fw_id_to_mac_id can be used. Due to the way the fw works, we must not remove 154 * the AP station from the fw before setting the MAC context as unassociated. 155 * Hence, %fw_id_to_mac_id[%ap_sta_id] will be NULLed when the AP station is 156 * removed by mac80211, but the station won't be removed in the fw until the 157 * VIF is set as unassociated. Then, %ap_sta_id will be invalidated. 158 */ 159 160 /** 161 * DOC: station table - Drain vs. Flush 162 * 163 * Flush means that all the frames in the SCD queue are dumped regardless the 164 * station to which they were sent. We do that when we disassociate and before 165 * we remove the STA of the AP. The flush can be done synchronously against the 166 * fw. 167 * Drain means that the fw will drop all the frames sent to a specific station. 168 * This is useful when a client (if we are IBSS / GO or AP) disassociates. In 169 * that case, we need to drain all the frames for that client from the AC queues 170 * that are shared with the other clients. Only then, we can remove the STA in 171 * the fw. In order to do so, we track the non-AMPDU packets for each station. 172 * If mac80211 removes a STA and if it still has non-AMPDU packets pending in 173 * the queues, we mark this station as %EBUSY in %fw_id_to_mac_id, and drop all 174 * the frames for this STA (%iwl_mvm_rm_sta). When the last frame is dropped 175 * (we know about it with its Tx response), we remove the station in fw and set 176 * it as %NULL in %fw_id_to_mac_id: this is the purpose of 177 * %iwl_mvm_sta_drained_wk. 178 */ 179 180 /** 181 * DOC: station table - fw restart 182 * 183 * When the fw asserts, or we have any other issue that requires to reset the 184 * driver, we require mac80211 to reconfigure the driver. Since the private 185 * data of the stations is embed in mac80211's %ieee80211_sta, that data will 186 * not be zeroed and needs to be reinitialized manually. 187 * %IWL_MVM_STATUS_IN_HW_RESTART is set during restart and that will hint us 188 * that we must not allocate a new sta_id but reuse the previous one. This 189 * means that the stations being re-added after the reset will have the same 190 * place in the fw as before the reset. We do need to zero the %fw_id_to_mac_id 191 * map, since the stations aren't in the fw any more. Internal stations that 192 * are not added by mac80211 will be re-added in the init flow that is called 193 * after the restart: mac80211 call's %iwl_mvm_mac_start which calls to 194 * %iwl_mvm_up. 195 */ 196 197 /** 198 * Send the STA info to the FW. 199 * 200 * @sc: the iwm_softc* to use 201 * @sta: the STA 202 * @update: this is true if the FW is being updated about a STA it already knows 203 * about.
