"ath6kl: Maintain virtual interface in a list" mistakenly stops the
netq only when the mode is ibss. This causes packet drops in sta mode
when the available cookies (buffer abstraction in ath6kl and also used
for tx throttling) runs out for the highest priority traffic. This patch
just fixes this regression though the original code may still need fixes
which can be addressed in separate patches.

When buffer alignmnet is applied, the data pointer of skb taken from
cookie will no longer point to the first byte of the actual data.
But the skb->data pointer is used in ath6kl_tx_complete() to get
the index of the virtual interface which will not give the correct
interface index and sometimes may give the following WARN_ON() message.
Use packet->buf instead of skb->data to fix this.

skb is dropped in ath6kl_data_tx() when the headroom in skb
is insufficient. We hit this condition for every skb in AP mode
which is used with bridge, so all tx packets are getting dropped
when tried to send traffic to wireless client from bridge. Fix
this by reallocating the headroom instead of dropping the skb
when it has lesser headroom than needed.

The target triggers sdio data line to wake up the host when
WOW pattern matches. This causes sdio irq handler is being
executed in the host side which internally hits ath6kl's RX path.
WOW resume should happen before start processing any data from
the target. So it's required to perform WOW resume in RX path.
This area needs bit rework to avoid WOW resume in RX path,
As of now it's fine to have this model, rework will be done later.

The following is the lockdep warning which detects possible
deadlock condition with the way ar->lock and ar->list_lock
are being used.
(&(&ar->lock)->rlock){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa0492d13>] ath6kl_indicate_tx_activity+0x83/0x110 [ath6kl]
but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
(&(&ar->list_lock)->rlock){+.+...}
and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1

lock(&(&ar->list_lock)->rlock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&ar->lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&ar->list_lock)->rlock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&ar->lock)->rlock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
softirqs have to be disabled when acquiring ar->list_lock to avoid
the above deadlock condition. When the above warning printed the
interface is still up and running without issue.

Commit 94e532d1a ("ath6kl: Fix system freeze under heavy data load")
aligns the skb data without checking if the skb is cloned. Because of
this ath6kl can corrupt the local TCP stack information that can result
in TCP retransmission failing and TCP connections stalling.
To avoid the corruption we need to copy the skb. Now the alignment
in ath6kl_htc_tx_buf_align() doesn't corrupt TCP packets anymore (and is
not even used for the cloned skb's that got copied since the alignment
of the data is handled at the copy time).

When pinging form ar6003 to the AP RTT was high even when power save was
disabled:
100 packets transmitted, 97 received, 3% packet loss, time 99125ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.875/46.733/795.506/139.181 ms
After some investigation one reason for this was that received
multicast traffic confused the aggrecation logic and caused 400 ms
timeouts when receiving multicast frames from AP.
A simple way to fix is to pass only unicast frames for aggregation. This
improves RTT:
100 packets transmitted, 99 received, 1% packet loss, time 99144ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.083/13.084/403.390/56.794 ms

Patch "ath6kl: Fix buffer alignment for scatter-gather write" does
memmove for a length (scat_req->scat_list[i].len) which is not the
actual length of data that is suppossed to be moved. The right
lengh is packet->act_len + HTC_HDR_LENGTH. Using wrong length
for data move during buffer alignment causes system freeze after
the following WARN_ON and sometimes target assert.

Last May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which is
currently in staging. The work has happened in a separate
ath6kl-cleanup tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summary
After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would
like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless
trees and replacing the staging driver.
The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.
The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49
kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107
to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26
to zero :)
There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we
decided to omit for now:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31:
WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527:
WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms;
see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt
The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific
structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have
any big endian hardware to test that right now.
We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The
code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.
Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:
o HCI over SDIO support
o nl80211 testmode
o firmware logging
o suspend support
Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI
over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to
share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research
more.
Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.
As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I
decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16
and sle32, especially from wmi.h.
Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall of
fame based on number of patches is:
