* iwlagn: fix rts cts protectionJohannes Berg2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the driver will try to protect all frames, which leads to a lot of odd things like sending an RTS with a zeroed RA before multicast frames, which is clearly bogus. In order to fix all of this, we need to take a step back and see what we need to achieve: * we need RTS/CTS protection if requested by the AP for the BSS, mac80211 tells us this * in that case, CTS-to-self should only be enabled when mac80211 tells us * additionally, as a hardware workaround, on some devices we have to protect aggregated frames with RTS To achieve the first two items, set up the RXON accordingly and set the protection required flag in the transmit command when mac80211 requests protection for the frame. To achieve the last item, set the rate-control RTS-requested flag for all stations that we have aggregation sessions with, and set the protection required flag when sending aggregated frames (on those devices where this is required). Since otherwise bugs can occur, do not allow the user to override the RTS-for-aggregation setting from sysfs any more. Finally, also clean up the way all these flags get set in the driver and move everything into the device-specific functions.

* iwlwifi: fix locking assertionsJohannes Berg2010-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | spin_is_locked() can return zero on some (UP?) configurations because locks don't exist, and that causes an endless amount of warnings. Use lockdep_assert_held() instead, which has two advantages: 1) it verifies the current task is holding the lock or mutex 2) it compiles away completely when lockdep is not enabled Cc: stable@kernel.org [2.6.34+, maybe only parts of patch] Reported-by: Thomas Meyer <thomas@m3y3r.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* iwlwifi: BA scd_flow not match condition detectedWey-Yi Guy2010-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | It is a uCode bug which cause the tx queue id not match scd_flow in compressed block ack frame, and it need to be addressed in uCode. Currently, driver will log the information when it happen. Since it is possible happen very often and we do not want to fill the syslog, so don't enable the logging by default.

* iwlagn: fix the bit mask of a FH register in stop Tx DMA flowEmmanuel Grumbach2010-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | When we stop the Tx DMA channels, we poll bits 16:31 in FH_TSSR_RX_STATUS_REG. From 4965 and up, only the bits 16:26 are legal. Bits 27:31 are not used and are always unset. Polling them will lead to fail on timeout but since the timeout is quite small, the stall was not felt.

* iwlagn: use mutex for aggregationJohannes Berg2010-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the ampdu_action callback can sleep, we can use the mutex to properly protect the aggregation data, and return useful errors if they should happen. Also, add some sleep and mutex debugging so we won't call any of the functions that now require being able to sleep and/or the mutex to be held in an invalid context.

| * iwlagn: verify flow id in compressed BA packetShanyu Zhao2010-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The flow id (scd_flow) in a compressed BA packet should match the txq_id of the queue from which the aggregated packets were sent. However, in some hardware like the 1000 series, sometimes the flow id is 0 for the txq_id (10 to 19). This can cause the annoying message: [ 2213.306191] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Received BA when not expected [ 2213.310178] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Read index for DMA queue txq id (0), index 5, is out of range [0-256] 7 7. And even worse, if agg->wait_for_ba is true when the bad BA is arriving, this can cause system hang due to NULL pointer dereference because the code is operating in a wrong tx queue!

* | iwlwifi: parse block ack responses correctlyDaniel Halperin2010-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Compressed BlockAck frames store the ACKs/NACKs in a 64-bit bitmap that starts at the sequence number of the first frame sent in the aggregated batch. Note that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission; e.g., if frames 1,4-5 in a batch are ACKed then the next transmission will include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame is seq 2). The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets, maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as well as driver and uCode. Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed. In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g., http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1968 http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2098 http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2018 Signed-off-by: Daniel Halperin <dhalperi@cs.washington.edu> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>

* | iwlwifi: reduce memory allocationJohannes Berg2010-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the driver allocates up to 19 skb pointers for each TFD, of which we have 256 per queue. This means that for each TX queue, we allocate 19k/38k (an order 4 or 5 allocation on 32/64 bit respectively) just for each queue's "txb" array, which contains only the SKB pointers. However, due to the way we use these pointers only the first one can ever be assigned. When the driver was initially written, the idea was that it could be passed multiple SKBs for each TFD and attach all those to implement gather DMA. However, due to constraints in the userspace API and lack of TCP/IP level checksumming in the device, this is in fact not possible. And even if it were, the SKBs would be chained, and we wouldn't need to keep pointers to each anyway. Change this to only keep track of one SKB per TFD, and thereby reduce memory consumption to just one pointer per TFD, which is an order 0 allocation per transmit queue.

* | iwlwifi: fix and add missing sta_lock usageReinette Chatre2010-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a few places where sta_lock is used, but the station information protected by it is accessed outside of the lock. Address this in two ways, if the access won't sleep then just move the access into the lock, if the access can sleep then copy the needed station information to the stack to be accessed without risk of it changing while access in progress. Additionally, a number of other places access station station information without holding the sta_lock, fix those as well.

* iwlwifi: use iwl_find_station lessJohannes Berg2010-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we now store the station ID in each station struct, many places need not look at the station table any more since they can just pull the station ID out of the struct. Remove iwl_get_sta_id() and use iwl_sta_id() instead as appropriate. This reduces the amount of code needed to find the right station significantly, and works since mac80211 passes the station only after it has been fully initialised, ie. even if TX races with station addition it will only be passed to TX once the addition is complete.

* iwlwifi: set AMPDU status variables correctlyDaniel Halperin2010-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TX status code is currently abusing the ampdu_ack_map field (a bitmap) to count the number of successfully received frames. The comments in mac80211.h show there are actually three different, relevant variables, of which we are currently using two, both incorrectly. Fix this by making - ampdu_ack_len -> the number of ACKed frames (i.e. successes) - ampdu_ack_map -> the bitmap - ampdu_len -> the total number of frames sent (i.e., attempts) to match the header file (and verified with ath9k's usage) and updating Intel's RS code to match.

* iwlwifi: avoid Tx queue memory allocation in interface downZhu Yi2010-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to free all the Tx queues memory when interface is brought down and reallocate them again in interface up. This requires order-4 allocation for txq->cmd[]. In situations like s2ram, this usually leads to allocation failure in the memory subsystem. The patch fixed this problem by allocating the Tx queues memory only at the first time. Later iwl_down/iwl_up only initialize but don't free and reallocate them. The memory is freed at the device removal time. BTW, we have already done this for the Rx queue.
