2013-12-02ath9k: optimize ath_drain_all_txqFelix Fietkau
If the software has processed all packets, checking the hardware queue is unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2013-12-02ath9k: Fix TX99 config option usageSujith Manoharan
Use CONFIG_ATH9K_TX99 to properly enclose the tx99 code and make sure that it is not compiled as part of the driver when it is not selected. Move the tx99 code to a new file tx99.c and also add ATH9K_DEBUGFS as a dependency in Kconfig. This reduces the module size on platforms like OpenWrt where ATH9K_DEBUGFS is selected, but TX99 might be disabled. Cc: Luis R.

2013-10-18ath9k: add TX99 supportLuis R. Rodriguez
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. In the examples below, for more bit rate options see the iw TX bitrate setting documentation: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw#Modifying_transmit_bitrates Example usage: iw phy phy0 interface add moni0 type monitor ip link set dev moni0 up iw dev moni0 set channel 36 HT40+ iw set bitrates mcs-5 4 echo 10 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/tx99_power echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/tx99 Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2013-09-30ath9k: fix powersave response handling for BA session packetsFelix Fietkau
When a packet is passed from mac80211 to the driver with the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PS_RESPONSE flag set, it bypasses the normal driver internal queueing and goes directly to the UAPSD queue. When that happens, packets that are part of a BlockAck session still need to be tracked as such inside the driver, otherwise it will create discrepancies in the receiver BA reorder window, causing traffic stalls. This only happens in AP mode with powersave-enabled clients. This patch fixes the regression introduced in the commit "ath9k: use software queues for un-aggregated data packets" Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2013-09-26ath9k: don't use BAW tracking on PS responses for non-AMPDU packetsFelix Fietkau
When .release_buffered_frames was implemented, only A-MPDU packets were buffered internally. Now that this has changed, the BUF_AMPDU flag needs to be checked before calling ath_tx_addto_baw Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2013-09-26ath9k: do not link bf_next across multiple A-MPDUsFelix Fietkau

2013-09-26ath9k: fix stale flag handling on buffer cloneFelix Fietkau
Fixes a regression from commit "ath9k: shrink a few data structures by reordering fields" When cloning a buffer, the stale flag (part of bf_state now) needs to be reset after copying the state to prevent tx processing hangs.

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.

2013-08-15ath9k: reset buffer stale flag in ath_tx_get_tid_subframeFelix Fietkau

2013-08-15ath9k: simplify ath_tid_drainFelix Fietkau

2013-08-09ath9k: use software queueing for multicast trafficFelix Fietkau

2013-08-09ath9k: use software queues for un-aggregated data packetsFelix Fietkau
This is a first step for improving fairness between legacy and 802.11n traffic, and it should also improve reliability of resets and channel changes by keeping the hardware queue depth very short. When an aggregation session is torn down, all packets in the retry queue will be removed from the BAW and freed. For all subframes that have not been transmitted yet, the A-MPDU flag will be cleared, and a sequence number allocated. This ensures that the next A-MPDU session will get the correct initial sequence number. This happens both on aggregation session start and stop.

2013-08-09ath9k: always clear ps filter bit on new assocFelix Fietkau

2013-08-09ath9k: fix clearing expired A-MPDU subframes in tx completionFelix Fietkau
When the tid aggregation state has been marked as inactive, free completed tx packets immediately. When a new aggregation session has not been initialized yet, the BAW checks do not recognize it as expired. Might fix potential stalls in setting up a new aggregation session.

2013-08-09ath9k: prepare queueing code for handling unaggregated trafficFelix Fietkau

2013-08-09ath9k: fix block ack window tracking checkFelix Fietkau
When a packet has been tracked as part of the BlockAck window and added to the hardware queue, it can end up back in the TID queue again with fi->retries still set to 0 (e.g. if the frame was filtered). Keep an extra bit for the BAW tracking status to fix this corner case. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2013-08-09ath9k: simplify ath_tx_form_aggrFelix Fietkau
The check for ATH_AMPDU_SUBFRAME_DEFAULT is unnecessary, since it's set to half the maximum BlockAck Window size, which is already the maximum value that h_baw could possibly have.

2013-06-24ath9k: fix queue depth accounting in ath_tx_txqaddbufFelix Fietkau
ath_tx_txqaddbuf assumes that all the linked buffers in the queue passed to it are part of the same A-MPDU or MPDU. The CAB queue rework violates this assumption, which can cause the internal queue depth to go negative.

2013-06-12ath9k: limit multicast buffer hardware queue depthFelix Fietkau
The CAB (Content after Beacon) queue is used for beacon-triggered transmission of buffered multicast frames. If lots of multicast frames were buffered and this queue fills up, it drowns out all regular traffic. To limit the damage that buffered traffic can do, try to limit the queued data to becaon_interval / 8. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

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.

2013-05-17ath9k: fix draining aggregation tid buffersFelix Fietkau
After a tx attempt, an A-MPDU subframe can still have fi->retries at 0 (if the retry count wasn't incremented due to powersave). In that case it is still tracked as part of the block ack window, so when draining the tid queue, its sequence number needs to be cleared from the pending frame bitmap.

2013-05-17ath9k: fix rate handling/reportingFelix Fietkau
This patch fixes some issues introduced in the rate control API rework. When not running aggregation, copy bf->rates into info->control.rates before applying the rate control status to it.

2013-04-10ath9k: implement buffer holding handling for EDMA FIFOFelix Fietkau
Inside one FIFO slot queue, EDMA chipsets have the same link pointer re-read race condition as older chipsets, so the same buffer holding logic needs to be used in order to avoid use-after-free bugs.

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.
