The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn. Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were left with the job of filtering. This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive in terms of latency, memory and load. Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check, RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible. Note: This patch also includes all changes to the shared headers files since the inclusion. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Since uCode is responsible for doing DC calibration, there's no need to let init uCode to do initial DC calibration then send results back to driver, then driver sends the results to runtime uCode. Driver can simply tell runtime uCode to do DC calibration. Actually, this patch does not disable DC calib for init uCode. It just prevent driver from saving and sending the DC calib results (from init ucode) to runtime uCode. The driver still uses 0xffffffff in CALIB_CFG_CMD for init ucode.

iwlwifi driver supports multiple devices. Since some device needs special configuration we create a new iwl_nic_ops structure which is configurable per device. Currently there is only one function pointer inside this structure: additional_nic_config(). The iwl_nic_ops structure is added to the top level in struct iwl_ops, making it easier to change per device. Duplication of the iwl_lib_ops structure is no longer needed. With this new ops the previous function pointer set_calib_version is no longer needed since it is just a per device nic configuration. As part of the code restructuring, a bug is addressed. Indication of calib version to uCode is only needed for 6050 devices, however, current implementation set calib version for all 6000 devices for which DC calib is needed. To fix this, create iwl6050_ops for 6050 devices and only populate iwl_nic_ops in this structure. Signed-off-by: Shanyu Zhao <shanyu.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>

The WMM parameter configuration function (ieee80211_sta_wmm_params) only configures the WMM parameters to the driver is the wmm_last_param_set counter value is changed by the AP. The wmm_last_param_set is initialized to -1 on association in order to ensure the configuration is made to the driver at least once on association, but currently this initialization is done *after* the WMM parameter configuration function was called. This leads to unreliability in the driver getting properly configured on first association (depending on what counter value the AP happens to use.) When disassociating (the wmm default parameters are configured to the driver) and then reassociating, due to the above the WMM configuration is not set to the driver at all. On drivers without beacon filtering the problem is corrected by later beacons, but on drivers with beacon filtering the WMM will remain permanently incorrectly configured. Fix this by moving the initialization of wmm_last_param_set to -1 before ieee80211_sta_wmm_params is called on association.

David Miller complained about the driver's excessive use of variables in __packed structs. While I did not fully agree with his sole "performance" argument on all accounts. I do see some room for improvement in hot-paths on architectures without an efficient access to unaligned elements. This first patch (dare I say?) optimizes an important tx hot-path in the driver: carl9170_tx_prepare. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This patch removes some cruft, which survived the RFC review phase. Originally, carl9170_tx_ampdu_queue erroneously dropped a lot of frames. As a result the ampdu scheduler bogged down quite frequently and the affected BA session timed out. However this bug has been fixed and the WA and its debugfs counter is no longer useful.

Association is dealt with as an atomic offchannel operation, we do this because we don't know we are associated until we get the associatin response from the AP. When we do get the associatin response though we were never clearing the offchannel state. This has a few implications, we told drivers we were still offchannel, and the first configured TX power for the channel does not take into account any power constraints. For ath9k this meant ANI calibration would not start upon association, and we'd have to wait until the first bgscan to be triggered. There may be other issues this resolves but I'm too lazy to comb the code to check.

iwl3945's scan_completed calls into the mac80211 stack which triggers a warn on if there is no scan outstanding. This can be avoided by not calling scan_completed but abort_scan in iwl3945_request_scan in the done: branch of the function which is used as an error out. The done: branch seems to be an error-out branch, as, for example, if iwl_is_ready(priv) returns false the done: branch is executed. NOTE: I'm not familiar with the driver at all. I just quickly scanned as a reaction to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17722 the users of scan_completed in the iwl3945 driver and noted the odd discrepancy between the comment above this instance and the comment in mac80211 scan_completed function.

commit 8c0c709e Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Wed Nov 25 17:46:15 2009 +0100 mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags moved the CMNTR flag into the skb RX flags for some aggregation cleanups, but this was wrong since the optimisation this flag tried to make requires that it is kept across the processing of multiple interfaces -- which isn't true for flags in the skb. The patch not only broke the optimisation, it also introduced a bug: under some (common!) circumstances the flag will be set on an already freed skb! However, investigating this in more detail, I found that most of the flags that we set should be per packet, _except_ for this one, due to a-MPDU processing. Additionally, the flags used for processing (currently just this one) need to be reset before processing a new packet. Since we haven't actually seen bugs reported as a result of the wrong flags handling (which is not too surprising -- the only real bug case I can come up with is an a-MSDU contained in an a-MPDU), I'll make a different fix for rc.

Even if the reorder timeout timer fires while scanning, the frames weren't received during scanning and therefore shouldn't be dropped. To implement this, changes to the passive scan RX handler simplify understanding it, because it currently checks HW_SCANNING independently of a packet's in-scan receive status (which doesn't make a big difference, since scan_rx() will only pick up probe responses and beacons, which can't be aggregated.)
