* 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.

* mac80211_hwsim driver support userspace frame tx/rxJavier Lopez2011-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds to mac80211_hwsim the capability to send traffic via userspace. Frame exchange between kernel and user spaces is done through generic netlink communication protocol. A new generic netlink family MAC80211_HWSIM is proposed, this family contains three basic commands HWSIM_CMD_REGISTER, which is the command used to register a new traffic listener, HWSIM_CMD_FRAME, to exchange the frames from kernel to user and vice-versa, and HWSIM_CMD_TX_INFO_FRAME which returns from user all the information about retransmissions, rates, rx signal, and so on. How it works: Once the driver is loaded the MAC80211_HWSIM family will be registered. In the absence of userspace daemon, the driver itselfs implements a perfect wireless medium as it did in the past. When a daemon sends a HWSIM_CMD_REGISTER command, the module stores the application PID, and from this moment all frames will be sent to the registered daemon. The user space application will be in charge of process/forward all frames broadcast by any mac80211_hwsim radio. If the user application is stopped, the kernel module will detect the release of the socket and it will switch back to in-kernel perfect channel simulation. The userspace daemon must be waiting for incoming HWSIM_CMD_FRAME commands sent from kernel, for each HWSIM_CMD_FRAME command the application will try to broadcast this frame to all mac80211_hwsim radios, however the application may decide to forward/drop this frame. In the case of forwarding the frame, a new HWSIM_CMD_FRAME command will be created, all necessary attributes will be populated and the frame will be sent back to the kernel. Also after the frame broadcast phase, a HWSIM_CMD_TX_INFO_FRAME command will be sent from userspace to kernel, this command contains all the information regarding the transmission, such as number of tries, rates, ack signal, etc. You can find the actual implementation of wireless mediumd daemon (wmediumd) at: * Last version tarball: https://github.com/jlopex/cozybit/tarball/master * Or visiting my github tree: https://github.com/jlopex/cozybit/tree Signed-off-by: Javier Lopez <jlopex@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * rtlwifi: Fix kernel panic resulting from RX buffer allocation failureLarry Finger2011-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To handle amsdu_8k capability, the PCI routine of this driver must allocate receive buffers of order 2. Under heavy load, this causes fragmentation of memory. The present code releases the current buffer before checking to see if a new one is availble. Recovery from allocation failures is not possible, which results in kernel panics. The fix is to reorder the code to check that a new buffer can be allocated before the old one is released. If not possible, the received frame is dropped and the old one is reused. Without this change, it is impossible to transfer a 2 GB file without a kernel panic.

| * mwifiex: correct event header lengthYogesh Ashok Powar2011-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While decoding received event packet from firmware, 4 bytes of interface header are already removed unconditionally. So for handling event only 4 more bytes needs to be pulled. This is achieved by changing event header length to 4. Almost all the events, except BA stream related and AMSDU aggregation control events, do not have the payload in their event skb. Such events handling depends only on the event ID. This event ID is the first four bytes of the event skb, which is copied to a separate variable before pulling the skb header. Hence event handling worked only for those events that didn't have payload in event skb. This patch fixes the broken event path of the events with payload in their event skb without harming existing working event path for the events without payload.
