* ath9k: limit tx path hang check to normal data queuesFelix Fietkau2013-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | The beacon and multicast-buffer queues are managed by the beacon tasklet, and the generic tx path hang check does not help in any way here. Running it on those queues anyway can introduce some race conditions leading to unnecessary chip resets.

* ath9k_hw: Add HW cap for PAPRDSujith Manoharan2012-12-10
| | | | | | | | | Add a HW capability to indicate whether PAPRD is enabled for the card, since PAPRD could be enabled in the EEPROM, but disabled in the driver. This makes things clearer.

* ath9k: Fix the 'xmit' debugfs fileSujith Manoharan2012-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'xmit' debugfs file has become big and unwieldy, fix multiple issues with its usage: * Store TX counters/statistics only for the 4 Access Categories. Use IEEE80211_NUM_ACS instead of ATH9K_NUM_TX_QUEUES. * Move various utility macros to debug.h, they can be reused elsewhere. * Remove tx_complete_poll_work_seen. * Remove code that accesses various internal queue-specific variables without any locking whatsoever. HW/SW queue details will be handled in a subsequent patch. * Do not print internal values like txq_headidx and txq_headidx. They were mostly unused anyway, considering code like: PRX("txq_tailidx: ", txq_headidx); * Handle 'txprocdesc' for EDMA too.

* ath9k: perform ANI cycle in idle stateRajkumar Manoharan2012-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of now the ANI cycle is executed only when the chip is awake. On idle state case, the station wakes up from network sleep for beacon reception. Since most of the time, ANI cycle is not syncing with beacon wakeup, ANI cycle is ignored. Approx 5 mins once, the calibration is performed. This could affect the connection stability when the station is idle for long. Even though the OFDM and CCK phy error rates are too high, ANI is unable to tune its immunity level as quick enough due to rare execution. Here the experiment shows that OFDM and CCK levels are at default even on higher phy error rate. listenTime=44 OFDM:3 errs=121977/s CCK:2 errs=440818/s ofdm_turn=1 This change ensures that ANI calibration will be exectued atleast once for every 10 seconds. The below result shows improvements and immunity levels are adopted quick enough. listenTime=557 OFDM:4 errs=752/s CCK:4 errs=125/s ofdm_turn=0 Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* ath9k: make PA linearization optional, disabled by default and fix checksFelix Fietkau2012-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some checks for PA linearization support checked ATH9K_HW_CAP_PAPRD and some used the EEPROM ops, leading to issues in tx power handling, since those two can be out of sync. Disable the feature by default, since it has been reported that it can cause damage to the rx path under some circumstances. It can now be enabled for testing via debugfs.

* ath9k: fix PA linearization calibration related crashFelix Fietkau2012-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | Before PAPRD training can run, the card needs to have sent a packet for thermal calibration. Sending a dummy packet with the PAPRD training flag set causes a crash under some circumstance. Fix the code by replacing the dummy tx with a delay that waits for a real packet tx to have occurred.

* ath9k: Fix race in reset-work usageRajkumar Manoharan2012-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | Using work_pending() to defer certain operations when a HW-reset work has been queued is racy since the check would return false when the work item is actually in execution. Use SC_OP_HW_RESET instead to fix this race. Also, unify the reset debug statistics maintenance.

* ath9k: do not sampling on ani timer when chip is in sleepRajkumar Manoharan2012-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | The baseband and cycle counters are being sampled during ani processing for debugging purpose. Whenever the ani is postponded due to sleep state, taking samples on that time is of no use and also unneccesarily waking up the chip might increase the power consumption on idle associated state. Hence moving debug function within powersave block. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Ideally this WAR is needed to recover from some rare beacon stuck during stress testing. Before the STA is associated/IBSS had started beaconing, PLL4(0x1618c) always seem to have zero even though we had configured PLL3(0x16188) to query about PLL's locking status. When we keep on polling infinitely PLL4's 8th bit(ie check for PLL locking measurements is done), machine hangs due to softlockup. fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811142 Reported-by: Rolf Offermanns <rolf.offermanns@gmx.net> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Tested-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
