Re: [PATCH] ath10k: add dynamic vlan support

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

 



this patch makes no sense at some points. AP_VLAN must be enabled always (it is enabled by mac80211 by default, but is now disabled in very latest git version for drivers which announce sw_crypto support) if its disabled wds ap / wds sta operation will not work anymore since mac80211 uses AP_VLAN for the local wds sta interfaces

Mutlicast/broadcast traffic destined for a particular vlan group will
always be encrypted in software. To enable dynamic VLANs, it requires
driver support for sending software encrypted packets.

In ath10k, sending sw encrypted frames is allowed only when we insmod
the driver with cryptmode param set to 1, this configuration disables
hardware crypto and enables RAW mode implicitly. Since, enabling raw
mode has performance impact, this cannot be considered as an ideal
solution for supporting VLANs in the driver.

As an alternative take, in this approach, cryptographic keys for
unicast traffic(per peer PTKs) and keys for non-vlan group traffic
will be configured in hardware, allowing hardware encryption for unicast
and non-vlan group traffic. Only vlan group traffic will be encrypted in
software and pushed to the target with encap mode set to RAW in the TX
descriptors.

Not all firmwares can support this type of key configuration(having few
keys installed in hardware and few only in software); for this purpose a
new WMI service flag "WMI_SERVICE_PER_PACKET_SW_ENCRYPT" is introduced to
advertise this support.

Also, adding the logic required to send sw encrypted frames in raw mode.

Tested this change on QCA9984(firmware version 10.4-3.5.3-00057).
