2013-08-22ath9k: Enable PLL fix only for AR9340/AR9330Sujith Manoharan
The PLL hang workaround is required only for AR9330 and AR9340. This issue was first observed on an AP121 and the WAR is enabled for AR9340 also (DB120 etc.), since it uses a PLL design identical to AR9330. This is not required for AR9485 and AR9550. Various bugs have been reported regarding this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997217 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=994648 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2013-08-16ath9k: enable CSA functionality in ath9kSimon Wunderlich
CSA is only enabled for one interface, but the same limitation applies for mac80211 too. It checks whether the beacon has been sent (different approaches for non-EDMA-enabled and EDMA-enabled devices), and completes the channel switch after that.

2013-08-16ath9k: use chandef instead of channel_typeSimon Wunderlich
To enable support for 5/10 MHz, some internal functions must be converted from using the (old) channel_type to chandef. This is a good chance to change all remaining occurences.

2013-06-12ath9k: Fix noisefloor calibrationSujith Manoharan
The commits, "ath9k: Fix regression in channelwidth switch at the same channel" "ath9k: Fix invalid noisefloor reading due to channel update" attempted to fix noisefloor calibration when a channel switch happens due to HT20/HT40 bandwidth change. This is causing invalid readings resulting in messages like: "ath: phy16: NF[0] (-45) > MAX (-95), correcting to MAX". This results in an incorrect noise being used initially for reporting the signal level of received packets, until NF calibration is done and the history buffer is updated via the ANI timer, which happens much later. When a bandwidth change happens, it is appropriate to reset the internal history data for the channel. Do this correctly in the reset() routine by checking the "chanmode" variable.

2013-05-22ath9k: prevent aggregation session deadlocksFelix Fietkau
Waiting for all subframes of an existing aggregation session to drain before allowing mac80211 to start a new one is fragile and deadlocks caused by this behavior have been observed. Since mac80211 has proper synchronization for aggregation session start/stop handling, a better approach to session handling is to simply allow mac80211 to start a new session at any time. This requires changing the code to discard any packets outside of the BlockAck window in the A-MPDU software retry code. This patch implements the above and also simplifies the code.

If no keycache slots are available, ath_key_config can return -ENOSPC. If the key index is not checked for errors, it can lead to logspam that looks like this: "ath: wiphy0: keyreset: keycache entry 228 out of range" This can cause follow-up errors if the invalid keycache index gets used for tx.

2013-04-22ath9k: always set common->macaddr to the MAC adress of a virtual interfaceFelix Fietkau
In some cases it can be useful to change the MAC address of a virtual interface to something that's completely different from the EEPROM stored MAC address. In this case it is a bad idea to use the EEPROM MAC address for calculating the BSSID mask, as that would make it too wide. In one case a few devices have been observed to send ACKs for many packets on the channel not directed at them, which results in a neat Denial of Service attack on the channel.

2013-01-22ath9k: clean up processing of pending tx frames on resetFelix Fietkau
Dropping packets from aggregation sessions is usually not a good idea, as it might upset the synchronization of the BlockAck receive window of the remote node. The use of the retry_tx parameter to reset/tx-drain functions also seemed a bit arbitrary.

2013-01-11ath9k: fix rx flush handlingFelix Fietkau
Right now the rx flush is not doing anything useful on AR9003+, as it only works if the buffers in the rx FIFO have not been purged yet, as is done by ath_stoprecv. To fix this, always call ath_flushrecv from within ath_stoprecv before the FIFO is emptied, but still after the hw receive path has been stopped. This ensures that frames received (and ACKed by the hardware) shortly before a reset will be seen by the software, which should improve A-MPDU session stability.

Ensure that the rx tasklet is no longer running when entering the reset path. Also remove the distinction between flush and no-flush frame processing. If a frame has been received and ACKed by the hardware, the stack needs to see it, so that the BA receive window does not go out of sync.

2013-01-09ath9k: add spectral scan featureSimon Wunderlich
Adds the spectral scan feature for ath9k. AR92xx and AR93xx chips are supported for now. The spectral scan is triggered by configuring a mode through a debugfs control file. Samples can be gathered via another relay debugfs file. Essentially, to try it out: echo chanscan > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl iw dev wlan0 scan cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan0 > samples echo disable > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl This feature is still experimental. The special "chanscan" mode is used to perform spectral scan while mac80211 is scanning for channels. To allow this, sw_scan_start/complete() ops have been added.

2013-01-03mac80211: split TX aggregation stop actionJohannes Berg
When TX aggregation is stopped, there are a few different cases: - connection with the peer was dropped - session stop was requested locally - session stop was requested by the peer - connection was dropped while a session is stopping The behaviour in these cases should be different, if the connection is dropped then the driver should drop all frames, otherwise the frames may continue to be transmitted, aggregated in the case of a locally requested session stop or unaggregated in the case of the peer requesting session stop. Split these different cases so that the driver can act accordingly; however, treat local and remote stop the same way and ask the driver to not send frames as aggregated packets any more. In the case of connection drop, the stop callback the driver is otherwise supposed to call is no longer required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

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>
2012-10-29ath9k: adjust WLAN and BT concurrent transmissionRajkumar Manoharan
The simulataneous transmission of both WLAN and BT might cause increase in power levels. To avoid regulatory violation, WLAN tx power will be adjusted according to BT power index based on avaliability of BT scheduling messages. WLAN tx power reduction might affect its performance. So WLAN tx power is only be lowered when the signal strength is good enough. Otherwise concurrent tx will be disabled and WLAN uses it default power levels. Also concurrent tx is disabled whenever WLAN is moving to off-channel which might be used by BT. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-10-19ath9k: perform ANI cycle in idle stateRajkumar Manoharan
As of now the ANI cycle is executed only when the chip is awake. On idle state case, the station wakes up from network sleep for beacon reception. Since most of the time, ANI cycle is not syncing with beacon wakeup, ANI cycle is ignored. Approx 5 mins once, the calibration is performed. This could affect the connection stability when the station is idle for long. Even though the OFDM and CCK phy error rates are too high, ANI is unable to tune its immunity level as quick enough due to rare execution. Here the experiment shows that OFDM and CCK levels are at default even on higher phy error rate. listenTime=44 OFDM:3 errs=121977/s CCK:2 errs=440818/s ofdm_turn=1 This change ensures that ANI calibration will be exectued atleast once for every 10 seconds. The below result shows improvements and immunity levels are adopted quick enough. listenTime=557 OFDM:4 errs=752/s CCK:4 errs=125/s ofdm_turn=0 Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
