* ath9k: Fix locking issue during tx completionRajkumar Manoharan2011-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The received tx status of aggregated frame without BlockAck may cause deaf state in AR5416 cards. So the driver does a reset to recover. When this happens, we release the pcu_lock before doing a reset as ath_rest acquires pcu_lock. This is ugly and also not atomic. Fixing this addresses the TX DMA failure also. ath_tx_complete_aggr can be called from different paths which takes different variants of spin_lock. This patch also addresses the following warning.

* ath9k: unify edma and non-edma tx code, improve tx fifo handlingFelix Fietkau2011-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EDMA based chips (AR9380+) have 8 Tx FIFO slots, which are used to fix the tx queue start/stop race conditions which have to be worked around for earlier chips by keeping the last descriptor in the queue. The current code stores all frames that do not fit onto the 8 FIFO slots in a separate list. Whenever a FIFO slot is freed up, the next frame (or A-MPDU) from the pending queue gets moved to that slot. This process is not only inefficient, but also unnecessary. The code can be improved visibly by keeping the pending queue fully linked, and moving the contents of the entire queue to a FIFO slot as it becomes available. This patch makes the necessary changes for that and also merges some code that was duplicated for EDMA vs non-EDMA. It changes txq->axq_link to point to the last descriptor instead of the link pointer, so that ath9k_hw_set_desc_link can be used, which works on all chips. With this patch, a small performance increase for non-aggregated traffic was observed on AR9380 based embedded hardware. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * ath9k: Fix a warning due to a queued work during S3 stateMohammed Shafi Shajakhan2011-05-10

In ath9k we queue a work in ath9k_flush which we expect to be cancelled in the drv_stop call back. during suspend process mac80211 calls drv_stop only when the interface count(local->count) is non-zero. unfortunately when the network manager is enabled, drv_flush is called while drv_stop is not called as local->count reaches '0'. So fix this by simply checking for the device presence in the drv_flush call back in the driver before queueing work or anything else. this patch fixes the following WARNING Call Trace: [<c014c6e2>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<fc133f99>] ? ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x39/0x50 [mac80211] [<fc133f99>] ? ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x39/0x50 [mac80211] [<c014c75b>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x2b/0x30 [<fc133f99>] ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x39/0x50 [mac80211] [<fc134ed1>] ieee80211_queue_delayed_work+0x21/0x50 [mac80211] [<fc1e5b22>] ath_tx_complete_poll_work+0xb2/0x100 [ath9k] [<c016399e>] run_workqueue+0x8e/0x150 [<fc1e5a70>] ? ath_tx_complete_poll_work+0x0/0x100 [ath9k] [<c0163ae4>] worker_thread+0x84/0xe0 [<c0167a60>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x50 [<c0163a60>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0xe0 [<c01677d4>] kthread+0x74/0x80 [<c0167760>] ? kthread+0x0/0x80 [<c0104087>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ---[ end trace 2aff81010df9215b ]--- Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mshajakhan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* | ath9k: assign keycache slots to unencrypted stationsFelix Fietkau2011-04-19

* | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211. Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the old "return -1" there was wrong.
