2009-11-28ath9k: separate debugfs support from CONFIG_ATH_DEBUGFelix Fietkau
In my setups, ath9k's debugfs files are most of the time much more useful than the messages generated by enabling CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG along with the right debug flags. Since CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG comes with a noticeable overhead on embedded systems, this patch makes it possible to use the debugfs files without that option.

2009-11-28ath9k: Ensure a fair beacon distribution in IBSS mode.Vivek Natarajan

2009-11-28ath9k: Fix maximum tx fifo settings for single stream devicesLuis R. Rodriguez
Atheros single stream AR9285 and AR9271 have half the PCU TX FIFO buffer size of that of dual stream devices. 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.

2009-11-28ath9k: Proper padding/unpadding for the TX/RX path.Benoit Papillault
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>
2009-11-28ath9k: fix processing of TX PS null data framesLuis R. Rodriguez
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.

Also, remove mode checks - mac80211 does all the needed checks. * Handle enabling/disabling beacon transmission properly. * Handle beacon interval changes for AP mode. The original code depended on config_interface() to update the HW TSF. Since that callback has been removed, handle it properly. * Remove unneeded code dealing with key/privacy. * Set the chainmasks to 1x1 for IBSS when the BSSID is set.

2009-11-11ath9k_common: clarify and correct jumbogram processingLuis R. Rodriguez
Jumbograms are frames put together linked together through more than one descriptor. For example ath9k_htc will use this to send from the target a large frame split up into 2 or more segments. The driver then would be in charge of putting the frame back together. When jumbograms are constructed the rx_stats->rs_more will bet set and rx_stats->rs_status will not have any valid content as the actual status will only be avialable at the end of the chained descriptors.

2009-11-11ath9k_common: add new module to share 802.11n driver helpersLuis R. Rodriguez
ath9k and ath9k_htc share a lot of common hardware characteristics. They only differ in that ath9k_htc works with a target CPU and ath9k works directly with the hardware. ath9k_htc will do *some* things in the firmware, but a lot of others on the host. The common 802.11n hardware code is already shared through the ath9k_hw module. Common helpers amongst all Atheros drivers can use the ath module, this includes ath5k and ar9170 as users. But there is some common driver specific helpers which are not exactly hardware code which ath9k and ath9k_htc can share. We'll be using ath9k_common for this to avoid bloating the ath module and the common 802.11n hardware module ath9k_hw. We start by sharing skb pre and post processing in preparation for a hand off to mac80211. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The skb->cb (control buffer, 48 bytes) is available to the skb upon skb allocation. You can fill it up imediately after skb allocation. ath9k was copying onto the skb->cb the data from the processed skb for mac80211 from a stack struct ieee80211_rx_status structure. This is unnecessary, instead use the skb->cb for the rx status immediately after the skb becomes available and DMA synched.
