| * ath9k_hw: fix stopping rx DMA during resetsFelix Fietkau2011-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 adds detection for this specific MAC state, after which the above warnings completely disappear in my tests.

* | ath9k: fix powersave frame filtering/buffering in AP modeFelix Fietkau2011-04-19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations. This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting of A-MDPU subframes. Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT for unaggregated frames. A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state. Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.

* ath9k: improve reliability of beacon transmission and stuck beacon handlingFelix Fietkau2011-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ath9k calls ath9k_hw_stoptxdma every time it sends a beacon, however there is not much point in doing that if the previous beacon and mcast traffic went out properly. On AR9380, calling that function too often can result in an increase of stuck beacons due to differences in the handling of the queue enable/disable functionality. With this patch, the queue will only be explicitly stopped if the previous data frames were not sent successfully. With the beacon code being the only remaining user of ath9k_hw_stoptxdma, this function can be simplified in order to remove the now pointless attempts at waiting for transmission completion, which would never happen at this point due to the different method of tx scheduling of the beacon queue.

* ath9k: fix stopping tx dma on resetFelix Fietkau2011-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some situations, stopping Tx DMA frequently fails, leading to messages like this: ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last frame ath: Failed to stop TX DMA! This patch uses a few MAC features to abort DMA globally instead of iterating over all hardware queues and attempting to stop them individually. Not only is that faster and works with a shorter timeout, it also makes the process much more reliable. With this change, I can no longer trigger these messages on AR9380, and on AR9280 they become much more rare. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

* ath9k_hw: optimize all descriptor access functionsFelix Fietkau2010-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Because all of the descriptor data structures are marked as __packed, GCC assumes the worst case wrt. alignment and generates unaligned load/store instructions on MIPS for access to all fields. Since descriptors always have to be 4-byte-aligned, we can just mark the data structures with __aligned(4), which allows GCC to generate much more efficient code.

* ath9k_hw: optimize tx status descriptor processingFelix Fietkau2010-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | Disassembly shows, that at least on MIPS, the compiler generates a lot of memory accesses to the same location in the descriptor field parsing. Since it is operating on uncached memory, this can be quite expensive in this hot path. Change the code a bit to help the compiler optimize it properly, and get rid of some unused fields in the ath_tx_status struct. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

* ath9k_hw: optimize interrupt mask changesFelix Fietkau2010-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OProfile showed that ath9k was spending way too much time in ath9k_hw_set_interrupts. Since most of the interrupt mask changes only need to globally enable/disable interrupts, it makes sense to split this part into separate functions, replacing all calls to ath9k_hw_set_interrupts(ah, 0) with ath9k_hw_disable_interrupts(ah). ath9k_hw_set_interrupts(ah, ah->imask) only gets changed to ath9k_hw_enable_interrupts(ah), whenever ah->imask was not changed since the point where interrupts were disabled.

* ath9k: Fix maximum tx fifo settings for single stream devicesLuis R. Rodriguez2009-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Atheros single stream AR9285 and AR9271 have half the PCU TX FIFO buffer size of that of dual stream devices. Dual stream devices have a max PCU TX FIFO size of 8 KB while single stream devices have 4 KB. Single stream devices have an issue though and require hardware only to use half of the amount of its capable PCU TX FIFO size, 2 KB and this requires a change in software. Technically a change would not have been required (except for frame burst considerations of 128 bytes) if these devices would have been able to use the full 4 KB of the PCU TX FIFO size but our systems engineers recommend 2 KB to be used only. We enforce this through software by reducing the max frame triggger level to 2 KB. Fixing the max frame trigger level should then have a few benefits: * The PER will now be adjusted as designed for underruns when the max trigger level is reached. This should help alleviate the bus as the rate control algorithm chooses a slower rate which should ensure frames are transmitted properly under high system bus load. * The poll we use on our TX queues should now trigger and work as designed for single stream devices. The hardware passes data from each TX queue on the PCU TX FIFO queue respecting each queue's priority. The new trigger level ensures this seeding of the PCU TX FIFO queue occurs as designed which could mean avoiding false resets and actually reseting hw correctly when a TX queue is indeed stuck. * Some undocumented / unsupported behaviour could have been triggered when the max trigger level level was being set to 4 KB on single stream devices. Its not clear what this issue was to me yet.
