Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be
from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised
because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when
those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore
indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by
passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it.
As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with
a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally.
Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all
the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have
a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface.
This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that
interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not
entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC
address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we
do now.
Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't
assign sequence numbers at all.

WPA requires that the PTK is installed immediately after the 4-way handshake
in order to properly decrypt the subsequent incoming EAPOL-GTK frame. If the
PTK is not enabled by the time the EAPOL-GTK frame arrives, the frame is
dropped and the supplicant does not receive the group key.
This will happen with fast Access Points that send the EAPOL-GTK frame before
the suplicant has successfully installed and enabled the PTK. To mitigate
this situation, this patch simplifies and accelerates the SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
execution.

it can very well verify that mac80211 isn't passing junk to

Currently, the receive processing reads ->byte_cnt twice (once to
update interface statistics and once to properly size the data area
of the received skb), but since receive descriptors live in uncached
memory, caching this value in a local variable saves one uncached
access, and increases routing performance a tiny little bit more.
Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
Since the size of the receive queue is directly related to the data
cache footprint of the driver (between refilling a receive ring entry
with a fresh skb and receiving a packet in that entry, queue_size - 1
other skbs will have been touched), shrink the default receive queue
size to a saner number of entries, as 400 is definite overkill for
almost all workloads.
While we are at it, trim the default transmit queue size a bit as well.

Get rid of the skb pointer array that we currently use for transmit
reclaim, and replace it with an skb queue, to which skbuffs are appended
when they are passed to the xmit function, and removed from the front
and freed when we do transmit queue reclaim and hit a descriptor with
the 'owned by device' bit clear and 'last descriptor' bit set.
Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
By moving DMA unmapping during transmit reclaim back under the netif
tx lock, we avoid the situation where we read the DMA address and buffer
length from the descriptor under the lock and then not do anything with
that data after dropping the lock on platforms where the DMA unmapping
routines are all NOPs (which is the case on all ARM platforms that
mv643xx_eth is used on at least).
This saves two uncached reads, which makes a small but measurable
performance difference in routing benchmarks.
Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>
Since our ->hard_start_xmit() method is already called under spinlock
protection (the netif tx queue lock), we can simply make that lock
cover the private transmit state (descriptor ring indexes et al.) as
well, which avoids having to use a private lock to protect that state.
Since this was the last user of the driver-private spinlock, it can
be killed off.
