* p54: implement multicast filterChristian Lamparter2011-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "For best CPU usage and power consumption, having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible." Note: Not all firmwares include the multicast filter feature and the stack does not filter them either. The ARP filter on the other hand was dropped from the patch since it does not work correctly: Quote from: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@gmail.com> <http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg67466.html> "In the ARP case, when there's no other traffic on p54spi, all ARP requests are dropped. But if there's some egress traffic from p54spi, filter seems to work correctly: only ARP requests that match filter pass through. In the multicast case filter seems to work correctly, but it treats broadcast as subject to that filtering too. By default only 01:00:5e:00:00:01 gets into priv->mc_maclist, so we miss all broadcasts. These two filters seem to interfere: - if we set ARP filter and multicast filter without bc => we miss all ARPs if there's no egress traffic; - if we set ARP filter and multicast filter with bc or don't set mc filter at all => we get all ARPs. This effect does not depend on filter setup order." Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Tested-by: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* ath9k_hw: Fix Tx IQ Calibration hang issue in AR9003 chipsRajkumar Manoharan2011-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On AR9003 chips, doing three IQ calibrations will possibly cause chip in stuck state. In noisy environment, chip could receive a packet during the middle of three calibrations and it causes the conflict of HW access and the eventual failure. It also causes IQ calibration outliers which results in poor Tx EVM. The IQ Cal procedure is after resetting the chip, run IQ cal 3 times per each cal cycle and find the two closest readings and average of two. The advantage of running Tx IQ cal more than once is that we can compare calibration results for the same gain setting over multiple iterations. Most of the cases the IQ failures were observed after first pass. For the AR9485 and later chips, Tx IQ Calibration is performed along with AGC cal. But for pre-AR9485 chips, Tx IQ cal HW has to be separated from the rest of calibration HW to avoid chip hang. After all calibrations are done in HW, we can start SW post-processing. By doing this way, we minimize the SW difference among all chips. The order of calibration (run IQ cal before other calibration) is also needed to avoid chip hang for chips before AR9485. This issue was originally observed with AR9382. During the issue kernel log was filled with following message ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0xa640: 0x00000001 & 0x00000001 != 0x00000000 ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0xa2c4: 0x00158dd9 & 0x00000001 != 0x00000000 ath: Unable to reset channel (2412 MHz), reset status -5 ath: Unable to set channel Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch 'ath9k_hw: fix stopping rx DMA during resets' added code to detect a condition where rx DMA was stopped, but the MAC failed to enter the idle state.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During PHY errors, the MAC can sometimes fail to enter an idle state on older hardware (before AR9380) after an rx stop has been requested. This typically shows up in the kernel log with messages like these: ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c:504 ath_stoprecv+0xcc/0xf0 [ath9k]() Call Trace: [<8023f0e8>] dump_stack+0x8/0x34 [<80075050>] warn_slowpath_common+0x78/0xa4 [<80075094>] warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x24 [<80d66d60>] ath_stoprecv+0xcc/0xf0 [ath9k] [<80d642cc>] ath_set_channel+0xbc/0x270 [ath9k] [<80d65254>] ath_radio_disable+0x4a4/0x7fc [ath9k] When this happens, the state that the MAC enters is easy to identify and does not result in bogus DMA traffic, however to ensure a working state after a channel change, the hardware should still be reset.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a very serious off-by-one bug in the driver, which could leave the device in an unresponsive state. The problem was that the extra_len variable [used to reserve extra scratch buffer space for the firmware] was left uninitialized. Because p54_assign_address later needs the value to reserve additional space, the resulting frame could be to big for the small device's memory window and everything would immediately come to a grinding halt.

* | mwl8k: Reserve buffers for tx management framesNishant Sarmukadam2011-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since queues are not stopped anymore, management frames would be dropped if the corresponding tx queue is full. This can cause issues say when we want to setup an ampdu stream and action frames i.e addba requests keep getting dropped frequently. Fix this by reserving some buffers to allow management frames to go through in queue full conditions.

* | mwl8k: Add timestamp information for tx packetsPradeep Nemavat2011-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Timestamp tx packets using a HW micro-second timer. This timestamp will be compared to the current timestamp in the hardware and if the difference is greater than 500ms, the packet will be dropped.

* | mwl8k: Do not stop tx queuesPradeep Nemavat2011-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is in preparation to support life time expiry of packets in the hardware to avoid head-of-line blocking where a slow client can hog a tx queue and affect the traffic to a faster client from the same queue. Time stamp the packets in driver to allow dropping them in the hardware if they are queued for more than 500ms. If queues are stopped, packets will be queued up outside the driver. Since we will be able to timestamp the packets only after they hit the driver, the timestamp will be less accurate since we cannot consider the time the packets spent in queues outside the driver. With this commit, to achieve accurate timestamping, the tx queues will not be stopped in normal conditions. The only scenarios where the queues will be stopped are when firmware commands are executing or if the interface is brought down. Now, we need to be prepared for a situation where packets hit the driver even after the tx queues are full. Drop all such packets in the driver itself.

* | iwlwifi: fix possible data overwrite in hcmd callbackStanislaw Gruszka2011-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My commit 3598e1774c94e55c71b585340e7dc4538f310e3f "iwlwifi: fix enqueue hcmd race conditions" move hcmd callback after command queue reclaim, to avoid call it with hcmd_lock. But since queue read index was updated, cmd data can be overwritten. Fix problem by calling callback before taking hcmd_lock and queue reclaim.
