Patch: rt2x00: Make rt2x00_queue_entry_for_each more flexible commit: 10e11568 introduced a severe regression on the throughput for USB hardware. It turns out that the exiting of the rt2x00queue_for_each_entry() was done too early. The exact cause for this regression is unknown, but by disabling the premature exiting of the loop seems to resolve the issue.

At present the noise floor calibration is processed in supported control and extension chains rather than required chains. Unnccesarily doing nfcal in all supported chains leads to invalid nf readings on extn chains and these invalid values got updated into history buffer. While loading those values from history buffer is moving the chip to deaf state. This issue was observed in AR9002/AR9003 chips while doing associate/dissociate in HT40 mode and interface up/down in iterative manner. After some iterations, the chip was moved to deaf state. Somehow the pci devices are recovered by poll work after chip reset. Raading the nf values in all supported extension chains when the hw is not yet configured in HT40 mode results invalid values.

This adds basic support for the new WoWLAN configuration in mac80211. The behaviour is completely offloaded to the driver though, with two new callbacks (suspend/resume). Options for the driver include a complete reconfiguration after wakeup, and exposing all the triggers it wants to support.

This is based on (but now quite far from) the original work from Luis and Eliad. Add support for configuring WoWLAN triggers, and getting the configuration out again. Changes from the original patchset are too numerous to list, but one important change needs highlighting: the suspend() callback is passed NULL for the trigger configuration if userspace has not configured WoWLAN at all.

Currently, the driver only disable multicast filtering when the FIF_ALLMULTI driver flag has been just set (ie, if changed_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI and *new_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI) or else it will reenable multicast filtering. But next time, this condition will be false and multicast filtering will be reenabled, even through FIF_ALLMULTI is still set. This mean that allmulticast only works for less than two minutes in ad-hoc mode. This patch fixes that to disable multicast filtering as long as FIF_ALLMULTI is set.

The only user of WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SEPARATE_DEFAULT_KEYS was removed and consequently, this flag can be removed, too. In addition, a single capability flag was not enough to indicate this capability clearly since the device behavior may be different based on which operating mode is being used.

Commit dbd2fd65 added a mechanism for user space to indicate whether a default key is being configured for only unicast or only multicast frames instead of all frames. This commit added a driver capability flag for indicating whether separate default keys are supported and validation of the set_key command based on that capability. However, this single capability flag is not enough to cover possible difference based on mode (AP/IBSS/STA) and the way this change was introduced resulted in a regression with drivers that do not indicate the new capability (i.e.., more or less any non-mac80211 driver using cfg80211) when using a recent wpa_supplicant snapshot. Fix the regression by removing the new check which is not strictly speaking needed. The new separate default key functionality is needed only for RSN IBSS which has a separate capability indication.

When scan and assoc (infra/ibss) commands are simultaneously given in two terminals, association response is erroneously served while serving the scan response. mwifiex_cfg80211_results() is the common routine for sending ioctl (scan, assoc etc.) results to cfg80211 stack. In above scenario even if the common routine is called for scan ioctl context, it also tries to send information about assoc ioctl to cfg80211 because "priv->assoc_request/priv->ibss_join_request" flag is on at that time. Fix the issue by updating request variable after assoc handling and modifying the variable check in mwifiex_cfg80211_results.

Whenever the driver's queue depth reaches the max, the queues are stopped by the driver till the driver can accept the frames. At the mean time dynamic_ps_timer can be expired due to not receiving packet from upper layer which could restart the transmission at the end of ps work. Due to the mismatch with driver state, mac80211 is unneccesarity buffering all the frames till the driver wakes up the queue. Check whether there is no transmit or the tx queues were stopped by some reasons. If any of the queue was stopped, the postpond ps timer and do not restart netif_tx.

As described at http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=130428493104730&w=2 libertas frequently generates spurious tx timeouts, because the tx queue is brought down for extended periods during scanning. The net layer takes a look and incorrectly assumes the queue has been down for several seconds, and generates a tx_timeout. One way to fix this is to bump the trans_start counter while scanning so that the network layer knows that the device is still alive, but I think the tx_timeout handler is implemented wrongly here and not of any real use, so I vote to remove it. As explained at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130430311115755&w=2 the watchdog is primarily meant to deal with lockup on the hardware TX path (detected by the tx queue being stopped for an extended period of time), but this is unlikely to happen with libertas. In this case, the tx queue is stopped only while waiting for lbs_thread to send the queued frame to the driver, and lbs_thread wakes up the queue immediately after, even if the frame could not be sent correctly. So, the only hardware-related possibility that this catches is if hw_host_to_card hangs - this is something I have never seen. And if it were to happen, nothing done by lbs_tx_timeout would actually wake up lbs_thread any quicker than otherwise. Removing this oddly-behaving spuriously-firing tx_timeout handler should fix an occasional kernel crash during resume (http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10748) Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org> Acked-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

netif_tx_start_all_queues is used to allow the upper layer to transmit frames but it does not restart transmission. To restart the trasmission use netif_tx_wake_all_queues. Not doing so, sometimes stalls the transmission and the application has to be restarted to proceed further. This issue was originally found while sending udp traffic in higer bandwidth in open environment without bgscan.

While draining the txq in flush, the buffers can be added into the tx queue by tx_tasklet which leads to unneccesary chip reset.

The devices that require IV generation in software need tailroom reservation for ICVs used in TKIP or WEP encryptions. Currently, decision to skip the tailroom reservation in the tx path was taken only on whether driver wants MMIC to be generated in software or not. Following patch appends IV generation check for such decisions and fixes the following warning.

The USB drivers don't support automatically waking up when in powersaving mode, add a work object which will wakeup the device in time to receive the next beacon. Based on that beacon, we either go back into powersaving mode, or we remain awake to receive the buffered frames for our station.

Currently, mac80211 handles MIC failures differently depending on whenever they are detected by the stack's own software crypto or when are handed down from the driver. This patch tries to unify both by moving the special branch out of mac80211 rx hotpath and into into the software crypto part. This has the advantage that we can run a few more sanity checks on the data and verify if the key type was TKIP. This is very handy because several devices generate false postive MIC failure reports.
