Before issuing any firmware commands, we wait for the transmit rings to drain, to prevent control versus data path synchronization issues. In some cases, this can end up taking longer than the current hardcoded limit of 5 seconds, for example if the transmit rings are filled with packets for a host that has dropped off the air and we end up retransmitting every pending packet at the lowest rate a couple of times. This patch changes mwl8k_tx_wait_empty() to only bail out on timeout expiry if there was no change in the number of packets pending in the transmit rings during the waiting period. If at least one transmit ring entry was reclaimed while we were waiting, we are apparently still making progress, and we'll allow waiting for another timeout period.

Some firmware commands can under some circumstances take more than 2 seconds to complete. This patch bumps the timeout up to 10 seconds, and prints a message whenever a command takes more than 2 seconds. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

On 8366, bit 6 in the rx descriptor rate field indicates whether the packet was received on a 20MHz or 40MHz channel, and is not part of the MCS index. Handle this properly, which then prevents hitting the WARN_ON and being dropped in ieee80211_rx(). Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

When inserting a DMA header into a packet for transmission, mwl8k_add_dma_header() would blindly zero the addr4 field, which is not a good idea if the packet being transmitted is actually a 4-address packet. Also, if the transmitted packet was a 4-address with QoS packet, the memmove() to do the needed header reshuffling would inadvertently overwrite the first two bytes of the packet payload with the QoS field. This fixes both of these issues. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Packets exchanged between the mwl8k driver and the firmware always have a 4-address header without QoS field. For QoS packets, the QoS field is passed to/from the firmware via the tx/rx descriptors. We were handling this correctly on transmit, but not on receive -- if a QoS packet was received, we would leave garbage in the QoS field in the packet passed up to the stack, which is Bad(tm). Also, if the packet received on the air was a 4-address without QoS packet, we would forget to skb_pull the 2-byte DMA length prefix off. This patch adds an argument to the ->rxd_process() receive descriptor operation to retrieve the QoS field from the receive descriptor, and extends mwl8k_remove_dma_header() to insert this field back into the packet if the packet received is a QoS packet. It also fixes mwl8k_remove_dma_header() to strip off the length prefix in all cases. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

There exist 12 802.11b/g rates, but mwl8k supports two additional (non-standard) rates, and includes those rates in rate bitmasks and in its internal rate table that hardware rate indices index. Commit "mwl8k: report rate and other information for received frames" added one of the nonstandard rates to the mwl8k_rates table to make the OFDM rates in the table line up with the rate indices that are reported in the receive descriptor (so that we can just simply copy the receive descriptor rate index into ieee80211_rx_status::rate_idx) and bumped MWL8K_IEEE_LEGACY_DATA_RATES from 12 to 13, but this screwed up the UPDATE_STADB command struct layout, as it also uses that define, for its legacy_rates array. To avoid having to convert rate indices and legacy rate bitmaps (e.g. ieee80211_bss_conf::basic_rates) between the 12-rate mac80211 format and the 14-rate mwl8k format, we'll report all 14 rates in our wiphy's band, but filter out the nonstandard ones e.g. in the case of the UPDATE_STADB command which only accepts 12 rates. In the commands that accept 14 rates (SET_AID, SET_RATE), replace the use of the MWL8K_RATE_INDEX_MAX_ARRAY define in the command struct by the constant 14, to make it clearer that these commands accept 14 rates.

The MCS bitmaps in the SET_RATE command structure were of the wrong size, due to use of the wrong define for the array length. Just hardcode the lengths as 16, and do the same for the MCS bitmaps in other command structures. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Not only ps_sdata but also IEEE80211_CONF_PS is to be considered before restoring PS in scan_ps_disable(). For instance, when ps_sdata is set but CONF_PS is not set just because the dynamic timer is still running, a sw scan leads to setting of CONF_PS in scan_ps_disable instead of restarting the dynamic PS timer. Also for the above case, a null data frame is to be sent after returning to operating channel which was not happening with the current implementation. This patch fixes this too.

hwsim testing has revealed that when the MLME recalculates the idle state of the device, it sometimes does so before sending the final deauthentication or disassociation frame. This patch changes the place where the idle state is recalculated, but of course driver transmit is typically asynchronous while configuration is expected to be synchronous, so it doesn't fix all possible cases yet.

Starting with version 4.5, GCC has a new built-in function __builtin_unreachable() that can be used in places like the kernel's BUG() where inline assembly is used to transfer control flow. This eliminated the need for an endless loop in these places. The patch adds a new macro 'unreachable()' that will expand to either __builtin_unreachable() or an endless loop depending on the compiler version.
