RX Stress tests of unidirectional bulk traffic with bitrates of up to 220Mbit/s have revealed that the fatal-event recovery logic [which was solely triggered by an out-of-rx-buffer situation] is too aggressive. The new method now "pings" the device and then decides - based on the response - whenever a restart is needed or not. Signed-off-by:

This patch imports all shared header changes from carl9170fw.git. * add some strategic __aligned(4). This allows the compiler generate optimized code for architectures which can't access (unaligned/packed) data efficiently. ("ath9k_hw: optimize all descriptor access functions") * add a forgotten __CARL9170FW__ ifdef around a private firmware-internal struct. * GET_VAL macro helper Very useful for extracting data out of the bit-packed PHY registers. * cosmetic changes e.g.: _CCA_MINCCA_ to just _CCA_MIN_. * version bump 1.8.8.3 -> 1.9.0.

Up to now mac80211_hwsim has been reporting an rssi of -50. This patch improves the model slightly by returning txpower-50. This makes it easy to stimulate tests that need to see a varying rssi. Signed-off-by:

Clearing the per packet TX AGC for the RTL8187B device appears to increase its overall TX power. This allows the device to associate and a connection to be established using APs a little further away. This is in accordance to what is done for RTL8187L devices and also what Realtek drivers do.

Check the state of the interface on op_* function so we don't try to access the hardware in when its off. The mac80211 may call these in some corner cases related, for instance, to the hardware recovery procedure. These accesses cause a kernel crash on at least some SDIO devices, because the bus is not properly claimed in that scenario. Signed-off-by:

The wl1271_rx function loops through packets in an aggregated buffer. Each packet in the buffer is handled by a call to wl1271_rx_handle_data, which will fail if skb memory allocation fails or production mode is enabled. These failures currently prevent the rx counters to be incremented, thus causing the rx loop to run forever. Fix this by ignoring error codes reported wl1271_rx_handle_data function. This essentially means that frames will be dropped in production mode, which is the intetion, and frames will be dropped if memory allocation fails, which is a decent way to recover from that situation.

This bug was being triggered by a call to acx_rate_policies in tx_work without calling ps_elp_wakeup first. If we have full PSM enabled, this happens rather often, immediately after association. Reported-by:

While scanning, it is possible that beacon and probe response frames are received on other band than configured to the driver. In rx status handling this has caused "Unsupported RX rate from HW" warnings. This patch changes the wl1271_rate_to_index function to take the band of the received frame as a parameter instead of using value configuret to wl->band. Signed-off-by:

The number of entries in the TX queue is compared to the low watermark value each time TX completion interrupts are handled. However, the fact that a TX completion arrived does not necessarily mean there are any less skbs in the TX queue. In addition, a TX completion interrupt does not necessarily mean that there are any new available TX blocks. Thus, queuing TX work when the low watermark is reached might not be needed. Fix this by moving the low watermark handling to the TX work function, and avoid queuing TX work in this case. Signed-off-by:

On each TX descriptor allocation, a free entry is found by traversing the TX descriptors array. Improve this by holding a bitmap of all TX descriptors, and using efficient bit operations to search for free entries. Signed-off-by:

While wl1271_irq_work handles RX directly (by calling wl1271_rx), a different work is scheduled for transmitting packets. The IRQ work might handle more than one interrupt during a single call, including multiple TX completion interrupts. This might starve TX, since no packets are transmitted until all interrupts are handled. Fix this by calling the TX work function directly, instead of deferring it. Signed-off-by:

In case the aggregation buffer is too small to hold all available packets, the buffer is transferred to the FW and no more packets are aggregated. Although there may be enough available TX blocks, no additional packets will be handled by the current TX work. Fix this by flushing the aggregation buffer when it's full, and continue transferring packets as long as there are enough available TX blocks. Signed-off-by:

My previous patch to clean up all RXON handling inadvertently broke IBSS because it failed to take into account that unlike in AP mode, IBSS requires beacons to be sent only after setting the RXON assoc. Fix this, clean up the code a bit, improve the error checking around this, and also react to beacon changes in IBSS mode from mac80211. Signed-off-by:

In order to simplify the flow, and make new enhancements easier, separate out the RXON processing for modern AGN (5000 and newer) from RXON processing for the older 3945 and 4965 devices. Avoid changing these old ones to avoid regressions and move their code to a new file (iwl-legacy.c). 4965 gets the commit_rxon that used to be common for all AGN devices, but with removed PAN support. The new RXON processing is more central and does more work in committing, so that it is easier to follow. To make it more evident what is split out for legacy, split the necessary operations for that into a new struct iwl_legacy_ops. Those parts that still exist in the new AGN code don't need to be parametrized. Signed-off-by:

This helps align resets / RX enable & disable / TX stop / start. Locking around the PCU is important to ensure the hardware doesn't get stale data when working with DMA'able data. This is part of a series of patches which fix stopping TX DMA completley when requested on the driver.
