Series cfg80211/mac80211: Add support for TID specific configuration | expand

Commit Message

Tamizh chelvam June 18, 2019, 5:27 a.m. UTC
Introduce NL80211_TID_ATTR_CONFIG_TX_RATES in nl80211_tid_attr_config
to accept data TID specific TX bitrate configuration
through NL80211_CMD_SET_TID_CONFIG command. TID for which the
this configuration is to be applied is passed in
NL80211_TID_ATTR_CONFIG_TID attribute. TX bitrate mask values passed
in NL80211_ATTR_TX_RATES attribute and NL80211_TID_ATTR_CONFIG_TX_RATES
attribute will have types of the TX rate should be applied.
When the user-space wants this configuration peer specific
rather than being applied for all the connected stations,
MAC address of the peer can be passed in NL80211_ATTR_MAC attribute.

Driver supporting this feature should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_PER_TID_TX_BITRATE_MASK and supporting per-STA data TID
TX bitrate configuration should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_PER_STA_TX_BITRATE_MASK.

Could you please clarify this change of nl80211_parse_tx_bitrate_mask arguments.
Unless I missing something, the appropriate change for nl80211_parse_tx_bitrate_mask
is not included into this patch set.

I'm not really quite sure how LIMITED it supposed to work?

I mean, I could imagine all kinds of limits ...

 * limit to anything <= the given rate in kbps
 * limit to anything with long GI
 * limit to NSS <= given NSS
 * limit to MCS <= given MCS

etc.

I guess you could find a <= comparison for each dimension of the various
parameters, and then if you don't want that particular one limited you
give the maximum? Still not really clear to me how that should work.

Also, would it be allowed to pass an invalid rate? Like something like
"100Mbps legacy rate" when that's certainly not valid? You have no
validation on this, so for LIMITED that might still seem useful (per my
first bullet point above) but for anything else ... not so much?

Yeah. These arguments are missed in the function definition place:( I 
will fix this rebase issue in next version.

Thanks,
