* mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueueLuis R. Rodriguez2009-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* ath9k: disable radio when all devices are marked idleLuis R. Rodriguez2009-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This uses the new configuration changes indicated up by mac80211 when all interfaces are marked idle. We need to do a little more work as we have our own set of virtual wiphys within ath9k. Only when all virtual wiphys are inactive do we allow an idle state change for a wiphy to trigger disabling the radio. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
