* ath9k: stop rx dma before stopping txFelix Fietkau2012-05-29
| | | | | | | | | It has been found that active Rx can interfere with stopping tx DMA, which could result in at least parts of those "Failed to stop Tx DMA!" messages. Stopping rx before tx should prevent that. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| * ath9k: Fix IDLE PowersaveSujith Manoharan2012-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * PS_WAIT_FOR_TX_ACK is used in network-sleep mode and checking it for handling IDLE transitions is incorrect. Fix this. * RX PCU/DMA engines have to be stopped before setting the chip into full-sleep mode - otherwise the chip becomes mute. * Make things a bit clear by checking explicitly for network-sleep mode in the tx() routine and add a couple of debug statements to aid PS debugging.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the experiment with Azimuth ADEPT-n testbed where the APs transmit power was reduced to 25% and the signal strength was futher attenuated by 20dB and induced a path loss of ~7dB, the station was reporting beacon losses and the following issue were observed. * rx clear is stuck at low for more than 300ms * dcu chain and complete state is stuck at one of the hang signature This patch triggers the hang detection logic that recovers the chip from any of the above conditions. As the issue was originally reported in ChromeOs with AR9382 chips, this detection logic is enabled only for AR9380/2 chips.

It is also updating the curchan pointer. As survey updation is also referring curchan pointer to fetch the appropriate index, which might leads to invalid memory access. This patch partially reverts the change and stores the noise floor history buffer before updating channel type w/o updating curchan.

* | ath9k_hw: make bluetooth coexistence support optional at compile timeFelix Fietkau2011-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many systems (e.g. embedded systems) do not have wifi modules connected to bluetooth modules, so bluetooth coexistence is irrelevant there. With the addition of MCI support, ath9k picked up quite a bit of extra code that can be compiled out this way. This patch redefines ATH9K_HW_CAP_MCI and adds an inline wrapper for querying the bluetooth coexistence scheme, allowing the compiler to eliminate code that uses it, with only very little use of #ifdef. On MIPS this reduces the total size for the modules by about 20k. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* | ath9k: use config.enable_ani to check if ani should be performedNikolay Martynov2011-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently in ath9k code there is an attempt which is meant to disable ANI for ar9100 and ar9340. But it doesn't really achieve this. All it does is disable ANI init and setup (i.e. calls to ath9k_hw_ani_setup and ath9k_hw_ani_init). Since ath9k_hw_ani_setup is not called ah->config.ani_poll_interval is never initialized (i.e. it is always zero) and ath_ani_calibrate always executes ANI procedures (over uninitialized ANI parameters). Moreover, ath_ani_calibrate is being called each 1ms because common->ani.timer is set to zero interval because ah->config.ani_poll_interval==0 (and thus smallest value of all intervals). Normally it should not be called this often. This patch changes the code so config.enable_ani is used to check if ANI should be performed. config.enable_ani is initialized to true by default. This patch sets it to false for ar9100 and ar9340. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Martynov <mar.kolya@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After waking up from full sleep, registers are accessible, but rx/tx typically fails. A fast channel change will not recover from this, so ensure that a full-sleep -> wake transition is always followed by a full reset. The reason why this hasn't created any serious problems yet is that it's hidden by the (wrong) behavior of enabling/disabling the radio when the wiphy idle state changes.

* mac80211: let drivers inform it about per TID buffered framesJohannes Berg2011-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For uAPSD implementation, it is necessary to know on which ACs frames are buffered. mac80211 obviously knows about the frames it has buffered itself, but with aggregation many drivers buffer frames. Thus, mac80211 needs to be informed about this. For now, since we don't have APSD in any form, this will unconditionally set the TIM bit for the station but later with uAPSD only some ACs might cause the TIM bit to be set. ath9k is the only driver using this API and I only modify it in the most basic way, it won't be able to implement uAPSD with this yet. But it can't do that anyway since there's no way to selectively release frames to the peer yet. Since drivers will buffer frames per TID, let them inform mac80211 on a per TID basis, mac80211 will then sort out the AC mapping itself.

* ath9k: fix a regression in ath9k_ps_restoreFelix Fietkau2011-09-27
