This patch fixes a regression introduced in kernel v4.14. While the
commit message only mentions a performance penalty, the issue is
suspected to be the cause of spurious data bus errors on MIPS CPUs
(ar71xx target).
Fixes: #1982
Before, only frames with a maximum size of 1528 bytes could be
transmitted between two 802.11s nodes.
For batman-adv for instance, which adds its own header to each frame,
we typically need an MTU of at least 1532 bytes to be able to transmit
without fragmentation.
This patch now increases the maxmimum frame size from 1528 to 1656
bytes.
Tested with two ath10k devices in 802.11s mode, as well as with
batman-adv on top of 802.11s with forwarding disabled.
Fix originally found and developed by Ben Greear.

As of OpenWrt commit b3d8b3ab8e6f ("mac80211: set noscan=1 if sta/adhoc/
mesh interfaces are present"), the issue workarounded by this patch cannot
occur anymore.
Instead of unconditionally loading this module on boot the gluon_bat0
netifd protocol script will later take care of loading either the
batman-adv or batman-adv-legacy module, depending on the configured routing
algorithm in UCI.
This updates the batman-adv OpenWrt package to the current version
provided in the master branch of the openwrt-routing packages
repository:
* e26096a batman-adv: Fix duplicated OGMs on NETDEV_UP
* 1ff00ee batman-adv: upgrade package to latest release 2019.2
Small difference to the original:
* Compat code for batadv_genl_dump_check_consistent()
* Compat code for cfg80211_sinfo_release_content()
* 0001-batman-adv-add-compat-hacks.patch kept
* batctl dependency kept removed
* config related files unchanged
The new config format was not backported yet to keep this patch small
and less invasive.

The factory firmware omits the JFFS2 end-marker while flashing via
web-interface. Add a 64k padding after the marker fixes this problem.
When the end-marker is not present, OpenWRT won't save the overlayfs
after initial flash.
This always pulls in the batman-adv compat 15 kernel module. However,
batctl works just as well with batman-adv-legacy (compat 14).

If no mcast_rate is set for the wifi-iface then there is no rate_idx (0)
set for the bss. This breaks for example 5GHz meshpoint interfaces because
0 maps to a CCK rate (11Mbit/s).
It must also be avoided that the ath10k-ct internal state for the rates is
not synced with the mac80211 rates state. Otherwise, the user specified
rate (e.g. a wifi-iface mcast_rate for a meshpoint interface) will only be
set on startup. And a short while after that, ath10k-ct specific code in
ath10k_check_apply_special_rates is missing a valid rate in its own
structures and is then recalculating a new default rate. This default rate
is in most situations not the requested rate.
Fixes: a399b60735 ("ath10k/ath10k-ct: support multicast and management rate control")
Drivers with software rate control can directly use the selected multicast
rate for multicast/broadcast frames and the minimal basic rate for
management frames. But drivers with offloaded rate control algorithms must
be informed about such upper layer decisions to configure the
hardware/firmware.
A new BSS_CHANGED_MCAST_RATE is introduced in mac80211 to automatically
inform all drivers. ath10k can detect this event and forward it via WMI to
the driver. The already existing BSS_CHANGED_BASIC_RATES can be used to
select the management rate.
Without the WMI commands, a low rate (not necessarily one from the basic
rates) is used for bcast/mcast/management frames. This means that the
/etc/config/wireless settings basic_rate and mcast_rate would have no
effect on the rates selected by this driver for the mentioned frames.
This backports the TP-Link Archer C50 v4.
We are dropping the following upstream commits. They add support for the
TP-Link recovery-flag which enabled the web-recovery. As they are not
needed for the router to work, we drop them for now.

ath10k-ct uses a rather high number of buffers to communicate with the
QCA/Candelatech firmware. Especially the HTC (host-target-communication)
and HTT (host-target-transport) can take up a lot of memory when data is
transferred over a ath10k wifi link.
Even a 256MB device with three radios can go OOM (while sending to three
devices using UDP unicast/multicast packets) with the default buffer
limits. Unfortunately, this also reduced the maximum 5GHz throughput on an
IPQ40xx device from 494/432 Mbit/s for TCP transfers (download/upload) to
438/343 Mbit/s. These throughput values should still be good enough for a
Freifunk installation. And these changes are already used by ath10k in
OpenWrt 18.06.
