| | * ath9k: fix missed error codes in the tx status checkFelix Fietkau2009-12-282-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My previous change added in: commit 815833e7ecf0b9a017315cae6aef4d7cd9517681 ath9k: fix tx status reporting was not checking all possible tx error conditions. This could possibly lead to throughput issues due to slow rate control adaption or missed retransmissions of failed A-MPDU frames. This patch adds a mask for all possible error conditions and uses it in the xmit ok check.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AMDPDU actions poke hardware for TX operation, as such we want to turn hardware on for these actions. AMDPU RX operations do not require hardware on as nothing is done in hardware for those actions. Without this we cannot guarantee hardware has been programmed correctly for each AMPDU TX action.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we remove a IBSS/AP/Mesh interface we stop DMA but to do this we should ensure hardware is on. Awaken the device prior to these calls. This should ensure DMA is stopped upon suspend and plain device removal. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ensure the device is awake prior to trying to tell hardware to stop it. Impact of not doing this is we can likely leave the device in an undefined state likely causing issues with suspend and resume. This patch ensures harware is where it should be prior to suspend.

However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the interval is actually negative. As a result, the ISR will arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a softlockup at modprobe time. Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval is set before interrupts are active. Another possible fix is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine, but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First, we copy/paste the padding stuff from ath9k_tx to ath_tx_cabq since it needs to same kind of padding, but for internally generated beacons. Next, software padding done on TX needs to be removed before calling ieee80211_tx_status. The code was already there in ath_tx_complete but it was wrong. Fix it by using ath9k_cmn_padpos. This later code has been tested by sending packets to a monitor interface and reading packets from the same interface.

|/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug in ath9k's tx status check, which caused mac80211 to consider regularly transmitted unicast frames as un-acked. When checking the ts_status field for errors, it needs to be masked with ATH9K_TXERR_FILT, because this field also contains other fields like ATH9K_TX_ACKED.

Dual stream devices have a max PCU TX FIFO size of 8 KB while single stream devices have 4 KB. Single stream devices have an issue though and require hardware only to use half of the amount of its capable PCU TX FIFO size, 2 KB and this requires a change in software. Technically a change would not have been required (except for frame burst considerations of 128 bytes) if these devices would have been able to use the full 4 KB of the PCU TX FIFO size but our systems engineers recommend 2 KB to be used only. We enforce this through software by reducing the max frame triggger level to 2 KB. Fixing the max frame trigger level should then have a few benefits: * The PER will now be adjusted as designed for underruns when the max trigger level is reached. This should help alleviate the bus as the rate control algorithm chooses a slower rate which should ensure frames are transmitted properly under high system bus load. * The poll we use on our TX queues should now trigger and work as designed for single stream devices. The hardware passes data from each TX queue on the PCU TX FIFO queue respecting each queue's priority. The new trigger level ensures this seeding of the PCU TX FIFO queue occurs as designed which could mean avoiding false resets and actually reseting hw correctly when a TX queue is indeed stuck. * Some undocumented / unsupported behaviour could have been triggered when the max trigger level level was being set to 4 KB on single stream devices. Its not clear what this issue was to me yet.

* | | ath9k: Proper padding/unpadding for the TX/RX path.Benoit Papillault2009-11-284-18/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Software padding is done on the TX path and software unpadding is done on the RX path. This patch corrects the position where the padding occurs. A specific function computes the pad position and this function is used in the TX and RX path. This patch has been tested by generating every possible 802.11 frames with every possible frame_control field and a varying length. This patch is useful for analyzing non standard 802.11 frames going over the air Signed-off-by: Benoit Papillault <benoit.papillault@free.fr> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* | | ath9k: fix processing of TX PS null data framesLuis R. Rodriguez2009-11-287-5/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When mac80211 was telling us to go into Powersave we listened and immediately turned RX off. This meant hardware would not see the ACKs from the AP we're associated with and hardware we'd end up retransmiting the null data frame in a loop helplessly. Fix this by keeping track of the transmitted nullfunc frames and only when we are sure the AP has sent back an ACK do we go ahead and shut RX off.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes ath9k to pass proper MCS indexes and flags between the RC and the rest of the driver code. sc->cur_rate_table remains, as it's used by the RC code internally, but the rest of the driver code no longer uses it, so a potential new RC for ath9k would not have to update it.
