However, the code is hard to follow, and clearly even the compiler is having issues with it too. Additionally, however, the current code is wrong. If there is a TLV length check error, the code will report invalid TLV after parsing: ... because "len" will still be non-zero as we broke out of the loop. So to remove the warning and fix that issue, make the code easier to read by doing length checking with an error label. As a result, we can completely remove the "ret" variable. Also, while at it, remove the "fixed_tlv_size" variable since each TLV type has its own specified length, it just happens that we have only variable length, flags (0 length) and u32 TLVs right now. It should still be checked with more explicit length checks to make it easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>

However, this is only relevant for station mode, since only then will any device send nullfunc frames and need to know whether they should be QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are (currently) no frames the device is supposed to send. When you now consider virtual interfaces, it becomes apparent that the current mechanism is inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has to be on a per-interface scale. Due to the above considerations, we can change the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

Therefore, we need to read out the status at resume time to make sure the system knows about an up-to-date status.

Because of when this occurs, this is the 2.4 GHz band and uses the 0x420a (CCK, 1 Mbps) rate. In 5 GHz beaconing mode, this rate will prevent beacons from being sent and any other packets from being received. We can fix this by re-initializing the bcast station's LQ command when the channel is changed.

* | | | | | iwlwifi: add a mechanism to disable plcp error checkingWey-Yi Guy2010-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some devices, especially the upcoming new devices, the plcp error rate is different. Before the correct error rate can be determine, also for the debugging purpose; add the mechanism to disable plcp error checking which cause radio reset happen.

Change the name from TX_CMD_FLG_RTS_CTS_MSK to TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK to match the behavior of the bit setting. Also update comments to reflect which hardware uses which of the TX command flags. Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>

Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting, connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that initially attempted to address this: commit 1152dcc28c66a74b5b3f1a3ede0aa6729bfd48e4 Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Date: Fri Jan 15 13:42:58 2010 -0800 iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000 Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design. Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues. For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self protection. Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>
