2013-10-18ath5k: fix regression in tx status processingFelix Fietkau
The regression was introduced in the following commit: 0967e01e8e713ed2982fb4eba8ba13794e9a6e89 "ath5k: make use of the new rate control API" ath5k_tx_frame_completed saves the intended per-rate retry counts before they are cleared by ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status, however at this point the information in info->status.rates is incomplete. This causes significant throughput degradation and excessive packet loss on links where high bit rates don't work properly. Move the copy from bf->rates a few lines up to ensure that the saved retry counts are updated, and that they are really cleared in info->status.rates after the call to ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status.

2012-11-09mac80211: clarify interface iteration and make it configurableJohannes Berg
During hardware restart, all interfaces are iterated even though they haven't been re-added to the driver, document this behaviour. The same also happens during resume, which is even more confusing since all of the interfaces were previously removed from the driver. Make this optional so drivers relying on the current behaviour can still use it, but to let drivers that don't want this behaviour disable it. Also convert all API users, keeping the old semantics except in hwsim, where the new normal ones are desired. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-08-13ath5k: fix spin_lock_irqsave/spin_lock_bh nesting in meshBob Copeland
Lockdep found an inconsistent lock state when joining a mesh with ath5k. The problem is that ath5k takes the lock for its beacon state, ah->block, with spin_lock_irqsave(), while mesh internally takes the sync_offset_lock with spin_lock_bh() in mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt(), which in turn is called under ah->block. This could deadlock if the beacon tasklet was run on the processor that held the beacon lock during the do_softirq() in spin_unlock_bh(). We probably shouldn't hold the lock around the callbacks, but the easiest fix is to switch to spin_lock_bh for ah->block: it doesn't need interrupts disabled anyway as the data in question is only accessed in softirq or process context. Fixes the following lockdep warning: [ 446.892304] WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:159 _local_bh_enable_ip+0x38/0xa6() [ 446.892306] Hardware name: MacBook1,1 [ 446.892309] Modules linked in: tcp_lp fuse sunrpc cpufreq_ondemand acpi_cpufreq mperf ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_conntrack_ipv4 ip6table_filter nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_state nf_conntrack ip6_tables ext2 arc4 btusb bluetooth snd_hda_codec_idt snd_hda_intel carl9170 snd_hda_codec coretemp joydev ath5k snd_hwdep snd_seq isight_firmware ath snd_seq_device snd_pcm applesmc appletouch mac80211 input_polldev snd_timer microcode cfg80211 snd lpc_ich pcspkr i2c_i801 mfd_core soundcore rfkill snd_page_alloc sky2 tpm_infineon virtio_net kvm_intel kvm i915 drm_kms_helper drm i2c_algo_bit i2c_core video [ 446.892385] Pid: 1892, comm: iw Not tainted 3.6.0-rc1-wl+ #296 [ 446.892387] Call Trace: [ 446.892394] [<c0432958>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7c/0x91 [ 446.892398] [<c04399d7>] ? _local_bh_enable_ip+0x38/0xa6 [ 446.892403] [<c04399d7>] ? _local_bh_enable_ip+0x38/0xa6 [ 446.892459] [<f7f9ae3b>] ? mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt+0x95/0x99 [mac80211] [ 446.892464] [<c043298f>] warn_slowpath_null+0x22/0x24 [ 446.892468] [<c04399d7>] _local_bh_enable_ip+0x38/0xa6 [ 446.892473] [<c0439a52>] local_bh_enable_ip+0xd/0xf [ 446.892479] [<c088004f>] _raw_spin_unlock_bh+0x34/0x37 [ 446.892527] [<f7f9ae3b>] mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt+0x95/0x99 [mac80211] [ 446.892569] [<f7f7650f>] ieee80211_beacon_get_tim+0x28f/0x4e0 [mac80211] [ 446.892575] [<c047ceeb>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x10e/0x13f [ 446.892591] [<f7fdc541>] ath5k_beacon_update+0x40/0x26b [ath5k] [ 446.892597] [<c047ad67>] ? lock_acquired+0x1f5/0x21e [ 446.892612] [<f7fdf9fb>] ? ath5k_bss_info_changed+0x167/0x1b2 [ath5k] [ 446.892617] [<c087f9ea>] ? _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x78/0x82 [ 446.892632] [<f7fdf9fb>] ? ath5k_bss_info_changed+0x167/0x1b2 [ath5k] [ 446.892647] [<f7fdfa09>] ath5k_bss_info_changed+0x175/0x1b2 [ath5k] [ 446.892651] [<c0479dd4>] ? lock_is_held+0x73/0x7b [ 446.892662] [<c0458fd5>] ? __might_sleep+0xa7/0x17a [ 446.892698] [<f7f5d8f7>] ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1ed/0x21a [mac80211] [ 446.892703] [<c0449875>] ? queue_work+0x24/0x32 [ 446.892718] [<f7fdf894>] ? ath5k_configure_filter+0x163/0x163 [ath5k] [ 446.892766] [<f7f95fa4>] ieee80211_start_mesh+0xb9/0xbd [mac80211] [ 446.892806] [<f7f6e610>] ieee80211_join_mesh+0x10c/0x116 [mac80211] [ 446.892834] [<f7a96b90>] __cfg80211_join_mesh+0x176/0x1b3 [cfg80211] [ 446.892855] [<f7a96c1c>] cfg80211_join_mesh+0x4f/0x6a [cfg80211] [ 446.892875] [<f7a89891>] nl80211_join_mesh+0x1de/0x1ed [cfg80211] [ 446.892908] [<f7a8db99>] ? nl80211_set_wiphy+0x4cf/0x4cf [cfg80211] [ 446.892919] [<c07cfa36>] genl_rcv_msg+0x1d5/0x1f3 [ 446.892940] [<c07cf861>] ? genl_rcv+0x25/0x25 [ 446.892946] [<c07cf009>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x37/0x78 [ 446.892950] [<c07cf85a>] genl_rcv+0x1e/0x25 [ 446.892955] [<c07cebf3>] netlink_unicast+0xc3/0x12d [ 446.892959] [<c07cee46>] netlink_sendmsg+0x1e9/0x213 [ 446.892966] [<c079f282>] sock_sendmsg+0x79/0x96 [ 446.892972] [<c04eb90d>] ? might_fault+0x9d/0xa3 [ 446.892978] [<c07a81d8>] ? copy_from_user+0x8/0xa [ 446.892983] [<c07a852c>] ? verify_iovec+0x43/0x77 [ 446.892987] [<c079f4d8>] __sys_sendmsg+0x180/0x215 [ 446.892993] [<c045f107>] ? sched_clock_cpu+0x134/0x144 [ 446.892997] [<c047992f>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 446.893002] [<c047bf88>] ? __lock_acquire+0x46b/0xb6e [ 446.893006] [<c047992f>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 446.893010] [<c045f149>] ? local_clock+0x32/0x49 [ 446.893015] [<c0479ec1>] ? lock_release_holdtime.part.9+0x4b/0x51 [ 446.893020] [<c0479dd4>] ? lock_is_held+0x73/0x7b [ 446.893025] [<c050d127>] ? fcheck_files+0x97/0xcd [ 446.893029] [<c050d4df>] ? fget_light+0x2d/0x81 [ 446.893034] [<c07a01f3>] sys_sendmsg+0x3b/0x52 [ 446.893038] [<c07a07b4>] sys_socketcall+0x238/0x2a2 [ 446.893044] [<c0885edf>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x38 [ 446.893047] ---[ end trace a9af5998f929270f ]--- [ 447.627222] [ 447.627232] ================================= [ 447.627237] [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] [ 447.627244] 3.6.0-rc1-wl+ #296 Tainted: G W [ 447.627248] --------------------------------- [ 447.627253] inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage.

2012-03-06ath5k: do not stop queues for full calibrationFelix Fietkau
Some calibration types interfere with tx activity, but the queue stop does not prevent that. In fact, some calibration types need tx activity to properly function, so stopping the queues for them is counterproductive. In some tests this patch has been shown to improve stability, especially in AP or ad-hoc mode.

2011-11-28ath5k: Add a module parameter to disable hw rf kill switchNick Kossifidis
Add a module parameter to disable hw rf kill switch (GPIO interrupt) because in some cases when the card doesn't come with the laptop, EEPROM configuration doesn't match laptop's configuration and rf kill interrupt always fires up and disables hw. I thought of moving this to debugfs and make it per-card but this way it's easier for users and distros to handle.

2011-11-28ath5k: Calibration re-workNick Kossifidis
Noise floor calibration does not interfere with traffic and should run more often as part of our "short calibration". The full calibration is not the noise floor calibration but the AGC + Gain_F (on RF5111 and RF5112) calibration and should run less often because it does interfere with traffic. So Short calibration -> I/Q & NF Calibration Long calibration -> Short + AGC + Gain_F This patch was for some time on my pub/ dir on www.kernel.org and has been tested by a few people and me. I think it's O.K. to go in. I also changed ah_calibration to ah_iq_cal_needed to make more sense. v2 Use a workqueue instead of a tasklet for calibration Signed-off-by: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-11-28ath5k: Switch from read-and-clear to write-to-clear method when handling ↵Nick Kossifidis
PISR/SISR registers Since card has 12 tx queues and we want to keep track of the interrupts per queue we can't fit all these interrupt bits on a single register. So we have 5 registers, the primary interrupt status register (PISR) and the 4 secondary interupt status registers (SISRs). In order to be able to read them all at once (atomic operation) Atheros introduced the Read-And-Clear registers to make things easier. So when reading RAC_PISR register, hw does a read on PISR and all SISRs, returns the value of PISR, copies all SISR values to their shadow copies (RAC_SISRx) and clears PISR and SISRs. This saves us from reading PISR/SISRs in a sequence. So far we 've used this approach and MadWiFi/Windows driver etc also used it for years. It turns out this operation is not atomic after all (at least not on all cards) That means it's possible to loose some interrupts because they came after the copy step and hw cleared them on the clean step ! That's probably the reason we got missed beacons, got stuck queues etc and couldn't figure out what was going on. With this patch we switch from RaC operation to an alternative method (that makes more sense IMHO anyway, I just chose to be on the safe side so far). Instead of reading RAC registers, we read the normal PISR/SISR registers and clear any bits we got by writing them back on the register. This will clear only the bits we got on our read step and leave any new bits unaffected (at least that's what docs say). So if any new interrupts come up we won't miss it. I've tested this with an AR5213 and an AR2425 and it seems O.K. Many thanks to Adrian Chadd for debuging this and reviewing the patch ! v2: Make sure we don't clear PISR bits that map to SISR generated interrupts (added a comment on the code for this) Signed-off-by: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-10-11ath5k: remove some unneeded error handling codeDan Carpenter
th5k_hw_setup_tx_queue() returns a valid offset into the ah->ah_txq[] array. The ah->ah_txq[] and the ah->txqs[] array are the same size. Both have AR5K_NUM_TX_QUEUES elements. So this error handling code will never trigger. Also it's wrong. The call to ath5k_hw_release_tx_queue() with a qnum of AR5K_NUM_TX_QUEUES or more will just trigger a WARN_ON() and return. Or if it missed the WARN_ON(), it would just corrupt some memory and return.

2011-08-09ath5k: fix error handling in ath5k_beacon_sendBob Copeland
This cleans up error handling for the beacon in case of dma mapping failure. We need to free the skb when dma mapping fails instead of nulling and leaking the pointer, and we should bail out to avoid giving the hardware the bad descriptor. Finally, we need to perform the null check after trying to update the beacon, or else beacons will never be sent after a single mapping failure.
