2015-09-29ath9k: Add support for OCB modeJan Kaisrlik
The patch adds support for "outside the context of a BSS"(OCB) mode to ath9k driver and extends debugfs files by OCB ralated information. This patch was tested on AR9380-AL1A cards.

2015-07-21ath9k: make DMA stop related messages debug-onlyFelix Fietkau
A long time ago, ath9k had issues during reset where the DMA engine would stay active and could potentially corrupt memory. To debug those issues, the driver would print warnings whenever they occur. Nowadays, these issues are gone and the primary cause of these messages is if the MAC is stuck during reset or busy processing a long transmission. This is fairly harmless, yet these messages continue to worry users. To reduce the number of bogus bug reports, turn these messages into debug messages and count their occurence in the "reset" debugfs file.

2015-04-24mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISCJohannes Berg
This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When interfaces of different types are present in a context and an offchannel request is received on a STA interface, we end up trying to process beacons received when we are offchannel. This hits the below warning since offchannel will not have proper beacon parameters. Fix this by not processing beacons received when we are offchannel. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at ../drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c:552 ath_rx_tasklet+0xf8f/0x1020 [ath9k]() CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Tainted: G O 3.17.0-rc4-wl-debug #16 Hardware name: LENOVO 28427ZQ/INVALID, BIOS 6JET58WW (1.16 ) 09/17/2009 0000000000000000 15916787056abba3 ffff88013b603d08 ffffffff8156af94 ffff88013b603d50 ffff88013b603d40 ffffffff81070dbd ffff8800a84bb300 ffff8800b05db358 ffff8800a84cc578 ffff8800a84bb300 ffff8800b05daa40 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff8156af94>] dump_stack+0x4d/0x6f [<ffffffff81070dbd>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7d/0xa0 [<ffffffff81070e3c>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x5c/0x80 [<ffffffff81572143>] ? _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x83/0xa0 [<ffffffffa09d04a6>] ? ath_rx_tasklet+0x9f6/0x1020 [ath9k] [<ffffffffa09d0a3f>] ath_rx_tasklet+0xf8f/0x1020 [ath9k] [<ffffffffa09cd4f4>] ath9k_tasklet+0xf4/0x310 [ath9k] [<ffffffff81075a97>] tasklet_action+0xe7/0xf0 [<ffffffff8107508a>] __do_softirq+0x12a/0x340 [<ffffffff8107544e>] irq_exit+0x9e/0xc0 [<ffffffff81575e56>] do_IRQ+0x56/0xe0 [<ffffffff81573c72>] common_interrupt+0x72/0x72 <EOI> [<ffffffff81421037>] ? cpuidle_enter_state+0x67/0x1a0 [<ffffffff81421257>] cpuidle_enter+0x17/0x20 [<ffffffff810b3ebe>] cpu_startup_entry+0x3ce/0x420 [<ffffffff81048563>] start_secondary+0x233/0x2c0 ---[ end trace f15c3e33ba78d840 ]--- ------------[ cut here ]------------ Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2014-04-22ath9k: add a recv budgetTim Harvey
Implement a recv budget so that in cases of high traffic we still allow other taskets to get processed. Without this, we can encounter a host of issues during high wireless traffic reception depending on system load including rcu stall's detected (ARM), soft lockups, failure to service critical tasks such as watchdog resets, and triggering of the tx stuck tasklet. The same thing was proposed previously by Ben: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg112891.html The only difference here is that I make sure only processed packets are counted in the budget by checking at the end of the rx loop.

2014-02-25ath9k: fix invalid descriptor discardingFelix Fietkau
Only set sc->rx.discard_next to rx_stats->rs_more when actually discarding the current descriptor. Also, fix a detection of broken descriptors: First the code checks if the current descriptor is not done. Then it checks if the next descriptor is done. Add a check that afterwards checks the first descriptor again, because it might have been completed in the mean time.

2014-01-09ath9k: Use correct channel for RX packetsSujith Manoharan
Accessing the current channel definition in mac80211 when processing RX packets is problematic because it could have been updated when a scan is issued.

To avoid this, use the current channel information maintained in the driver.

TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing. SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF) absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz. Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the governmental SAR regulations.
