* ath9k_hw: move the cycle counter tracking to athFelix Fietkau2010-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | Instead of keeping track of wraparound, clear the counters on every access and keep separate deltas for ANI and later survey use. Also moves the function for calculating the 'listen time' for ANI Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

* ath9k_hw: clean up ANI state handlingFelix Fietkau2010-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ANI state is kept per channel, so instead of keeping an array of ANI states with an arbitrary size of 255, move the ANI state into the channel struct. Move some config settings that are not per-channel out of the per-channel struct to save some memory. With those changes, ath9k_ani_restart_old and ath9k_ani_restart_new can be merged into a single function. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

* ath9k_hw: merge codepaths that access the cycle counter registersFelix Fietkau2010-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The cycle counters are used by ANI to determine the amount of time that the radio spent not receiving or transmitting. They're also used for debugging purposes if the baseband watchdog on AR9003 detects a lockup. In the future, we want to use these counters to determine the medium utilization and export this information via survey. For that, we need to make sure that the counter is only accessed from one place, which also ensures that wraparounds won't occur at inconvenient points in time.

* ath9k: add new ANI implementation for AR9003Luis R. Rodriguez2010-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for ANI for AR9003. The implementation for ANI for AR9003 is slightly different than the one used for the older chipset families. It can technically be used for the older families as well but this is not yet fully tested so we only enable the new ANI for the AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002 families with a module parameter, force_new_ani. The old ANI implementation is left intact. Details of the new ANI implemention: * ANI adjustment logic is now table driven so that each ANI level setting is parameterized. This makes adjustments much more deterministic than the old procedure based logic and allows adjustments to be made incrementally to several parameters per level. * ANI register settings are now relative to INI values; so ANI param zero level == INI value. Appropriate floor and ceiling values are obeyed when adjustments are combined with INI values. * ANI processing is done once per second rather that every 100ms. The poll interval is now a set upon hardware initialization and can be picked up by the core driver. * OFDM error and CCK error processing are made in a round robin fashion rather than allowing all OFDM adjustments to be made before CCK adjustments. * ANI adjusts MRC CCK off in the presence of high CCK errors * When adjusting spur immunity (SI) and OFDM weak signal detection, ANI now sets register values for the extension channel too * When adjusting FIR step (ST), ANI now sets register for FIR step low too * FIR step adjustments now allow for an extra level of immunity for extremely noisy environments * The old Noise immunity setting (NI), which changes coarse low, size desired, etc have been removed. Changing these settings could affect up RIFS RX as well. * CCK weak signal adjustment is no longer used * ANI no longer enables phy error interrupts; in all cases phy hw counting registers are used instead * The phy error count (overflow) interrupts are also no longer used for ANI adjustments. All ANI adjustments are made via the polling routine and no adjustments are possible in the ISR context anymore * A history settings buffer is now correctly used for each channel; channel settings are initialized with the defaults but later changes are restored when returning back to that channel * When scanning, ANI is disabled settings are returned to (INI) defaults. * OFDM phy error thresholds are now 400 & 1000 (errors/second units) for low/high water marks, providing increased stability/hysteresis when changing levels. * Similarly CCK phy error thresholds are now 300 & 600 (errors/second) Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* ath9k_hw: allow for spliting up ANI operations by familyLuis R. Rodriguez2010-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | The AR9003 hardware family will use a slightly modified ANI implementation which has not yet been tested on the other hardware families. To allow for this new ANI implementation a few ANI calls need to be abstracted away. This patch just allows for each hardware family to declare their own ANI ops and annotates the current ANI implementation as old. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | Other than ns_avgbrssi (Average beacon rssi) no data of ath9k_node_stats is being used anywhere. Nuke this structure and move its only useful member to ar5416Anistate. Also cleanup this redundant data in ath_softc. Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vasanth@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* ath9k: Fix bug in retrieving average beacon rssiVasanthakumar Thiagarajan2009-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the beacon rssi that LPF gives is divided and rounded up by ATH_RSSI_EP_MULTIPLIER twice. This will leave the incorrect rssi in ANI. Having correct rssi in ANI fixes the connection stability at < 30dB rssi range. This patch removes the unncessary computation of average rssi over already valid average rssi. Also removes the redundant macros to find average rssi. Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vasanth@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* ath9k: describe hw initialization betterLuis R. Rodriguez2009-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | During initialization ath9k tends to use "attach" to when we initialize hardware due to the fact we used to attach a "HAL". The notion of a HAL is long gone, so lets just be clear on what we are doing. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
