All MSDUs, except the last one in an AMSDU, should end up at 4 bytes boundary. There is need to check if enough skb_tailroom space exists before padding the skb. Also re-arranging code for better readablity. Signed-off-by: Yogesh Ashok Powar <yogeshp@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The check of skb list empty before calling skb_peek and skb_dequeue is redundant. These functions returns NULL if the list is empty. Signed-off-by: Yogesh Ashok Powar <yogeshp@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Instead of counting the number of packets in txq for particular RA list before AMSDU creation, maintain a counter which will keep track of the same. This will reduce some MIPS while generating AMSDU traffic as we only have to check the counter instead of traversing through skb list.

Adding new event that close RX BA session in case of periodic BT activity limiting WLAN activity. Signed-off-by: Shahar Levi <shahar_levi@ti.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Shahar Levi authored
Some devices support BT/WLAN co-existence algorigthms. In order not to harm the system performance and user experience, the device requests not to allow any RX BA session and tear down existing RX BA sessions based on system constraints such as periodic BT activity that needs to limit WLAN activity (eg.SCO or A2DP). In such cases, the intention is to limit the duration of the RX PPDU and therefore prevent the peer device to use A-MPDU aggregation. Adding ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() callback that can be used by the driver to stop existing BA sessions. Signed-off-by: Shahar Levi <shahar_levi@ti.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Setting tx power can be deferred during scan or changing channel. If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device, we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send tx power settings also after partial rxon change, to assure device always be configured with up-to-date settings.

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about 5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz. These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso image: vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110 patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946 This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans, after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like in example below: patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683 However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time: wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1) wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2) wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3) wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out On 2.6.35 kernel patch helps against connection hangs with messages: iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: queue 10 stuck 3 time.

It does nothing useful yet, so it is matched as BROKEN. For now this is just an option for b43, in future we may want to make b43 support SSB or BCMA (note: or, not xor). Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

In case of BCMA cards SPROM is located in the ChipCommon core, it is not mapped as separated host window. So far we have met only SPROMs rev 8. SPROM layout seems to be the same as for SSB buses, so we decided to share SPROM struct and some defines. For now we extract MAC address only, this can be improved of course.

The brcm80211 driver in the staging tree has a cordic function to determine cosine and sine for a given angle. Feedback received from John Linville suggested that these kind of functions should be made available to others as a library function in the kernel tree. The b43 driver also has a cordic angle calculation implemented. Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org Cc: "John W.

The brcm80211 driver in staging tree uses a crc8 function. Based on feedback from John Linville to move this to lib directory, the linux source has been searched. Although there is currently only one other kernel driver using this algorithm (ie. drivers/ssb) we are providing this as a library function for others to use.

Commit 06e8935f adds an IRQ handling optimization for single-function SDIO cards like this one, but at the same time exposes a small hardware bug. During hardware init, an interrupt is generated with (apparently) no source. Previously, mmc threw this interrupt away, but now (due to the optimization), the mmc layer passes this onto libertas, before it is ready (and before it has enabled interrupts), causing a crash. Work around this hardware bug by registering the IRQ handler later and making it capable of handling interrupts with no cause. The change that makes the IRQ handler registration happen later actually eliminates the spurious interrupt as well. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

We use priv->mutex to avoid race conditions between iwl_chswitch_done() and iwlagn_mac_channel_switch(), when marking channel switch in progress. But iwl_chswitch_done() can be called in atomic context from iwl_rx_csa() or with mutex already taken from iwlagn_commit_rxon(). These bugs were introduced by: commit 79d07325 Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Date: Thu May 6 08:54:11 2010 -0700 iwlwifi: support channel switch offload in driver To fix remove mutex from iwl_chswitch_done() and use atomic bitops for marking channel switch pending.
