2012-04-23mac80211: fixup for mesh TSF adjustment latency in Toffset setpointJavier Cardona
The original patch defined the correction margin but did not apply it. Signed-off-by: Shinichi Hotori <hotorinn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Yu Niiro <yu.niiro@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-04-16mac80211: Take into account TSF adjustment latency in Toffset setpointJavier Cardona
When testing mesh synchronization we observed a global TSF slowdown that was dependent on the number of synchronized mesh stations. This seems to be caused by the TSF adjustment (read/write) latency. Adding a small margin to the Toffset setpoint solved the problem.

2012-04-10mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization frameworkJavier Cardona
This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec. 13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012). The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the following functions: rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is received. adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about to be transmitted. The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific methods. When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default) mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other and compensate clock drift. In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while introducing a jitter of ~20us. It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links, etc. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch <marco.porsch@s2005.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Pavel Zubarev <pavel.zubarev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
