Beacon transmission needs to involve as little latency as possible after receiving a SWBA event from the target. Since packets are buffered to use TX stream mode, beacon frames sometimes gets queued up and are not sent out immediately. Fix this by decoupling management frame transmission from the normal data path and send them out immediately. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Occasionally, a WMI event would arrive ahead of the TX URB completion handler. Discarding these events would exhaust the available TX slots, so handle them by running a timer cleaning up such events. Also, timeout packets for which TX completion events have not arrived. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

When a station entry is removed, there could still be pending packets destined for that station in the HIF layer. Sending these to the target is not necessary, so drain them in the driver itself.

There is no point in looping over all the endpoints, since the HIF layer uses the start/stop APIs only for the TX pipe. Simplify the API accordingly. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

When doing a channel set or a reset operation the pending frames queued up for transmission have to be flushed and sent to mac80211. Fixing this has to be done in two separate steps: * Flush queued frames and kill the URB TX completion handler. * Complete all the frames that in the TX pending queue. This patch adds proper support for draining and all the callsites namely, channel change/reset/idle/stop are fixed. A separate queue is used for handling failed frames.

Maintain a bitmap of slots for transmission and update the cookie field for every packet with the slot value. This value would be used for matching packets when TX completion processing is added.

There is no need to do endpoint header removal in the ISR. Also, this is needed when TX slot management is added later on. Use a helper function to strip the driver header. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

A new routine that takes an endpoint explicitly is introduced. The normal htc_send() now retrieves the endpoint from the packet's private data. This would be useful in TX completion when the endpoint ID would be required. While at it, use a helper function to map the queue to endpoint. Data/mgmt/beacon packets use htc_send(), while WMI comamnds pass the endpoint to HTC. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Handle queue start/stop properly by maintaining a counter to check if the pending frame count has exceeded the threshold. Otherwise, packets would be dropped needlessly. While at it, use a simple flag to track queue status and use helper functions too. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

For all packets sent through the USB_WLAN_TX_PIPE endpoint, the private area of the SKB's tx_info can be used to store driver-specific information. For packets sent through USB_REG_OUT_PIPE, this will not make a difference since they are routed through a separate routine that doesn't access the private region. This would help in situations where TX information is required in the URB callback. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Use a queue to handle WMI events and schedule a tasklet to process the events. This fixes the race between the WMI event ISR and the SWBA tasklet when the arrival of WMI events in quick succession could overwrite the SWBA data before the tasklet from a previous iteration could have been scheduled. Also, drain the WMI queue properly. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Transmission of beacons becomes erratic when TX load is high, since the latency involved in the generation of a SWBA interrupt on the target to the actual sending of a beacon is quite high for USB devices.

Currently, ampdu stream is created on the first qos packet to an HT sta. The overhead of setting up the BA session may not be justified if the outgoing packet rate is minimal (e.g., ping). So we only allow ampdu streams after seeing a critical number of packets in an arbitrary one-second interval.
