[PATCH v5 2/3] mac80211: implement chanctx reservation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>

In order to support channel switch with multiple vifs and multiple
contexts, we implement a concept of channel context reservation.  This
allows us to reserve a channel context to be used later.

The reservation functionality is not tied directly to channel switch
and may be used in other situations (eg. reserving a channel context
during IBSS join).

We first check if an existing compatible context exists and if it
does, we reserve it.  If there is no compatible context we create a
new one and reserve it.

Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>

In RFC v2:

   * reformulated the patch to make channel reservation generic and
     not only for channel switch, as we may find other uses for it in
     the future;
   * added ieee80211_vif_unreserve_chanctx();
   * removed reservation of the current chanctx from this patch;
   * added a stop_queue_reason for chanctx reservation;
   * added a few TODOs according to Michal's comments to be handled in
     future patch series;
   * set sdata->csa_chandef to the received chandef in all cases (it
     was only happening in the alone-in-the-vif case;

In v3:

   * removed stray empty line;
   * reworded the commit message;
   * added reserved_chandef;
   * added comment about reserved_chanctx and reserved_chandef protection;
   * wake the queues if ieee80211_assign_vif_chanctx() fails;

In v4:

   * add chanctx mode parameter to ieee80211_vif_reserve_chanctx();
   * compare the vif's previous BSS width with the reserved new width
     instead of comparing it to the chanctx's combined width;
