This variable is only ever checked right after the function that sets it, but the same function will also return the status, so we can pass it through instead of checking hw_ready later. Signed-off-by:

On new hardware, ucode images always come in pairs: code and data. Therefore, combine the variables into an appropriate struct and use that when both code and data are needed. Also, combine allocation and copying so that we have less code in total. Signed-off-by:

The current firmware loading mechanism in iwlwifi is very hard to follow, and thus hard to maintain. To make it easier, make the firmware loading synchronous. For now, as a side effect, this removes a number of retry possibilities we had. It isn't typical for this to fail, but if it does happen we restart from scratch which this also makes easier to do should it be necessary. Signed-off-by:

When the firmware encounters an error while the driver is waiting for a notification, it will never get that notification. Therefore, instead of timing out, bail out on errors when waiting for notifications. Signed-off-by:

We're unlikely to care about the actual time spent waiting, so make the function return an error code which is less error prone in coding new uses. Also, while at it, mark __must_check. Signed-off-by:

A notification wait function is called with the command, but currently has no way of passing data back to the caller -- fix that by adding a void pointer to the function that can be used between the caller and the function. Signed-off-by:

Starting the device consists of many things, refactor out enabling the hardware and also return -ERFKILL when the rfkill signal is found to be asserted (which makes more sense anyway, but is also required now to make the __iwl_up function return right away.) Signed-off-by:

The iwl_down path really consists of multiple things, refactor out the hardware resetting (including, of course, related software state like irqs). Signed-off-by:

There's no point in running through iwl_down() when we never registered with mac80211, as it just cleans up internal structures that were never initialised in this case. Therefore we can also remove the special handling for this case from __iwl_down(). Signed-off-by:

The current code to read the error table header just hardcodes all the offsets, which is a bit hard to understand. We can read in the entire header (as much as we need) into a structure, and then take the data from there, which makes it easier to understand. To read a bigger blob we also don't need to grab NIC access for each word read, making the code more efficient. Signed-off-by:

Implement the get_antenna and set_antenna callback functions, which will allow clients to control the antenna for all non-11n hardware (Antenna handling in rt2800 is still a bit magical, so we can't use the set_antenna for those drivers yet). To best support the set_antenna callback some modifications are needed in the diversity handling. We should never look at the default antenna settings to determine if software diversity is enabled. Instead we should set the diversity flag when possible, which will allow the link_tuner to automatically pick up the tuning. Signed-off-by:

All register reads/writes in rt2800usb were previously done with rt2800_register_read/rt2800_register_write. These however indirectly call rt2x00usb_register_read/rt2x00usb_register_write which adds an additional overhead of at least one call and several move instructions to each register access. Replacing the calls to rt2800_register_read/rt2800_register_write with direct calls to rt2x00usb_register_read/rt2x00usb_register_write gets rid of quite a number of instructions in the drivers hotpaths (IRQ handling and txdone handling). For consistency replace all references to rt2800_register_read/write with the rt2x00usb_register_read/write variants. Signed-off-by:

The two functions that are in rt2x00ht.c can be much better placed closer to the places where the call-sites of these functions are (one in rt2x00config.c and one in rt2x00queue.c) allowing us to make these functions static. Also, conditional compilations doesn't seem to be necessary anymore as 802.11n support is quite common nowadays. This makes the code a bit easier readable and searchable. Signed-off-by:

The rt33xx devices support for both PCI and USB devices has been in the tree for a couple of months now, and seems to be functional and not in a worse shape than the support for rt28xx and rt30xx devices.

Add USB IDs that are listed in the latest Ralink Windows and/or Linux drivers. Signed-off-by:
-
Gertjan van Wingerde authored
Both USB and PCI drivers allow a system administrator to dynamically add USB/PCI IDs to the device table that a driver supports via the /sys/bus/{usb,pci,pci_express}/drivers/<driver-name>/new_id files. However, for the rt2x00 drivers using this method currently crashes the system with a NULL pointer failure. This is due to the set-up of rt2x00 where the probe functions require a rt2x00_ops structure in the driver_info field of the probed device. As this field is empty for the dynamically added devices this fails for these devices. Fix this by introducing driver-specific probe wrappers that do nothing but calling the bus-specific probe functions with the rt2x00_ops structure as an argument, rather than depending on the driver_info field.

This allows the compiler to perform the necessary bitfield calculations during compile time instead of run time and thus reduces the number of instructions to run during each tasklet invocation. This should improve performance in the RX hotpath. This comes at the cost of a slight increase in the module size (for example rt2800pci): Before: text data bss dec hex filename 14133 832 4 14969 3a79 drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800pci.ko After: text data bss dec hex filename 14149 832 4 14985 3a89 drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800pci.ko Signed-off-by:

When powersaving is enabled, assocaition times are very high (for WPA2 networks, the time can easily be around the 3 seconds). This is caused, because the flushing of the queues takes too much time. Without the flushing callback mac80211 assumes a timeout of 100ms while scanning. Limit all flush waiting loops to the same maximum. We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the driver, which makes sure the driver performs extra actions during the waiting for the queue to become empty. After these changes, association times fall within the healthy range of ~0.6 seconds with powersaving enabled. The difference between association time between powersaving enabled and disabled is now only ~0.1 second (which can also be due to the measuring method). Signed-off-by:

TX status is reported by the hardware when a packet has been sent (or after TX failed after possible retries), which is some time after the DMA completion. Since the rt2800usb hardware can not signal interrupts we have to use a timer, otherwise the TX status would only be read by the next packet's TX DMA completion, or by the watchdog thread.

The watchdog just triggers rt2800usb_work_txdone() when it detects a TX status timeout, thus rt2800usb_work_txdone() needs to handle this case. Signed-off-by:

Add a timestamp to each queue entry which is updated whenever the status of the entry changes, and remove the per-queue timestamps. The previous check was incorrect and caused both false positives and false negatives. With the corrected check it comes apparent that the TX status usually times out on rt2800usb unless there is sufficient traffic (i.e. the next TX will complete the previous TX status). Signed-off-by:

Trying to fix the "TX status report missed" warnings by reading the TX_STA_FIFO entries as quickly as possible. The TX_STA_FIFO is too small in hardware, thus reading it only from the workqueue is too slow and entries get lost. Start an asynchronous read of the TX_STA_FIFO directly from the TX URB completion callback (atomic context, thus it cannot use the blocking rt2800_register_read()). If the async read returns a valid FIFO entry, it is pushed into a larger FIFO inside struct rt2x00_dev, until rt2800_txdone() picks it up. A .tx_dma_done callback is added to struct rt2x00lib_ops to trigger the async read from the URB completion callback. Signed-off-by:

Allow passing a void pointer to rt2x00_queue_entry_for_each which in turn in provided to the callback function. Furthermore, allow the callback function to stop processing by returning true. And also notify the caller of rt2x00_queue_entry_for_each if the loop was canceled by the callback. No functional changes, just preparation for an upcoming patch. Signed-off-by:

The number of flags defined for the rt2x00dev->flags field, has been growing over the years. Currently we are approaching the maximum number of bits which are available in the field. A secondary problem, is that one part of the field are initialized only during boot, because the driver requirements are initialized or device requirements are loaded from the EEPROM. In both cases, the flags are fixed and will not change during device operation. The other flags are the device state, and will change frequently. So far this resulted in the fact that for some flags, the atomic bit accessors are used, while for the others the non-atomic variants are used. By splitting the flags up into a "flags" and "cap_flags" we can put all flags which are fixed inside "cap_flags". This field can then be read non-atomically. In the "flags" field we keep the device state, which is going to be read atomically. This adds more room for more flags in the future, and sanitizes the field access methods. Signed-off-by:

Since commit 0b7fde54 "rt2x00: Protect queue control with mutex" rt2x00 used rt2x00queue_pause_queue for stopping a tx queue in mac80211. But in case of a failure in the tx path rt2x00 still called ieee80211_stop_queue which stopped the queue but prevented rt2x00queue_unpause_queue to wake the queue up again resulting in a stuck tx queue. Fix this by also using rt2x00queue_pause_queue in case of tx failures. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds WLAN LED support to the mac80211 rt2x00 driver for Ralink SoC (rt305x) devices. The current WLAN LED drivers in rt2800lib.c set the LED brightness via an MCU request, but do nothing for SoC. This patch checks for SoC and sets the register to enable the WLAN LED (instead of an MCU request). This enables the WLAN LED for RT305x devices. Signed-off-by:

Frame filtering relies on having a valid destination index (keycache slot), to keep track of the destination. Assigning a keycache slot (configured to unencrypted, with no key data attached) improves powersave handling in AP mode with no encryption. The dummy keycache entry for a station is cleared, when a real key gets added. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations. This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting of A-MDPU subframes. Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT for unaggregated frames. A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state. Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames. Signed-off-by:

While leaving the oper channel, beacon generation is stopped by mac80211 and beacon slots are marked as inactive. During the scan, ath9k configures beacon timers based on IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which inturn generates beacon alert even though bslot is inactive. ath9k fails to disable beacon alert while moving to offchannel if none of the beacon slot is active. This is causing beacon transmission on foreign channel. This patch enables swba based on active bslots. This issue was reported with two vifs (AP+STA) and triggered scan in STA vif in unassociated state. Signed-off-by:

This allows a driver to buffer frames for a PS station and tell mac80211 to wake it up even though mac80211 does not have any buffered frames for it. This is necessary for properly handling aggregation related buffering, in ath9k, because the driver needs to keep its frames in order to keep track of the Block-ACK window. Signed-off-by:
