iwlegacy: 3945: fix hw passive scan on radar channels

2012-01-26T00:13:59+00:00

commit 68acc4afb040d98ddfd2cae0de09e2f4e1ee127f upstream.

Patch fix firmware error on "iw dev wlan0 scan passive" for
hardware scanning (with disable_hw_scan=0 module parameter).

We have disable ability to change passive scanning to active on
particular channel when traffic is detected on that channel. Otherwise
firmware will report error, when we try to do passive scan on radar
channels.

drivers/net: Add export.h to files using EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE

2011-10-31T23:31:08+00:00

These were getting the macros from an implicit module.h
include via device.h, but we are planning to clean that up.

drivers/net: Add export.h to wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/bcmsdh.c

This relatively recently added file uses EXPORT_SYMBOL and hence
needs export.h included so that it is compatible with the module.h
split up work.

mac80211: pass vif param to conf_tx() callback

2011-10-03T19:22:41+00:00

tx params should be configured per interface.
add ieee80211_vif param to the conf_tx callback,
and change all the drivers that use this callback.

The following spatch was used:
@rule1@
struct ieee80211_ops ops;
identifier conf_tx_op;

	ops.conf_tx = conf_tx_op;

mac80211: implement uAPSD

2011-09-30T19:57:15+00:00

Add uAPSD support to mac80211. This is probably not
possible with all devices, so advertising it with
the cfg80211 flag will be left up to drivers that
want it.

Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly
straight-forward extension. Drivers need to have
accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame.
For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided
APIs allow releasing the right number of frames,
but then drivers need to set EOSP and more-data
themselves. This is documented in more detail in
the new code itself.

mac80211: add ieee80211_vif param to tsf functions

2011-09-27T18:27:48+00:00

TSF can be kept per vif.
Add ieee80211_vif param to set/get/reset_tsf, and move
the debugfs entries to the per-vif directory.

Update all the drivers that implement these callbacks.

iwlegacy: do not use interruptible waits

2011-09-21T19:58:24+00:00

iwlegacy version of fix:

commit effd4d9aece9184f526e6556786a94d335e38b71
Author: Johannes Berg 
Date:   Thu Sep 15 11:46:52 2011 -0700

    iwlagn: do not use interruptible waits

    Since the dawn of its time, iwlwifi has used
    interruptible waits to wait for synchronous
    commands and firmware loading.

    This leads to "interesting" bugs, because it
    can't actually handle the interruptions; for
    example when a command sending is interrupted
    it will assume the command completed fully,
    and then leave it pending, which leads to all
    kinds of trouble when the command finishes
    later.

    Since there's no easy way to gracefully deal
    with interruptions, fix the driver to not use
    interruptible waits.

    This at least fixes the error
    iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Error: Response NULL in  'REPLY_SCAN_ABORT_CMD'

    I have seen in P2P testing, but it is likely
    that there are other errors caused by this.

iwlegacy: fix command queue timeout

2011-09-21T19:58:23+00:00

iwlegacy version of fix:

commit 282cdb325aea4ebbc42ce753b47cc96145eb54bc

    iwlagn: fix command queue timeout

    If the command queue is constantly busy,
    which can happen in P2P, the hangcheck
    timer will frequently find a command in
    it and will eventually reset the device
    because nothing sets the timestamp for
    this queue when commands are processed.

    Fix this by setting the timestamp when
    a command completes.

iwlegacy does not support P2P, but this patch fix possible
unneeded hardware resets, hence is needed.

When trying to connect to 5GHz we can provide negative index to
mac80211 what trigger BUG_ON. Reason of iwl-3945-rs malfunction
on 5GHz is unknown and needs further investigation. For now, to
do not trigger a bug, correct value and just print WARNING.
