2009-09-14iwlwifi: disable powersave for 4965Johannes Berg
There's a bug in 4965 powersave that appears to be related to the way it keeps track of its data during sleep, but we haven't found it yet. Due to that, using powersave may spontaneously cause the device to SYSASSERT when transitioning from sleep to wake. Therefore, disable powersave for 4965, until (if ever, unfortunately) we can identify and fix the problem. Cf. http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1982 which was closed, but now has re-appeared with IDLE mode, which probably means we never really fixed it.

2009-08-31iwlwifi: use sleep interval successionJohannes Berg
Some concerns were raised about the automatic adjustment of sleep intervals to all the same, potentially high, value, and I can imagine the hardware behaving better when we don't ask too much of it. So let's convert to use a succession of sleep levels when requesting to go to deeper sleeps (which can only happen with large DTIM intervals), using the succession values from power level three, which have the benefit of also having been tested extensively already. As a result, the automatic sleep level adjustment will now be mostly equivalent to power level three, except for the RX/TX timeouts and possibly using smaller sleep vectors to account for networking latency.

2009-08-14iwlwifi: automatically adjust sleep levelJohannes Berg
Depending on required latency requested by pm_qos (via mac80211) we can automatically adjust the sleep state. Also, mac80211 has a user-visible dynamic sleep feature where we are supposed to stay awake after sending/receiving frames to better receive response frames to our packets, this can be integrated into the sleep command. Currently, and this patch doesn't change that yet, we default to using sleep level 1 if PS is enabled. With a module parameter to iwlcore, automatic adjustment to changing network latency requirements can be enabled -- this isn't yet the default due to requiring more testing. The goal is to enable automatic adjustment and then go into the deepest possible sleep state possible depending on the networking latency requirements. This patch does, however, enable IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS to avoid the double-timer (one in software and one in the device) when transmitting -- the exact timeout may be ignored but that is not of big concern. Note also that we keep the hard-coded power indices around for thermal throttling -- the specification of that calls for using the specified power levels. Those can also be selected in debugfs to allow easier testing of such parameters.

2009-08-14iwlwifi: refactor some thermal throttle codeJohannes Berg
Some of the thermal throttle data structures and code are really very intermingled with the sleep (power) control code. They really do belong together in a way since the thermal throttle code uses powersaving to achieve its goal, but it's making it hard to work on the powersave code. Split this up to make that easier. I've also changed the antenna defines to an enum and used the same enum for RX and TX.

For legacy thermal throttling, set the new Thermal Throttling state and change power index when thermal throttling manager detects temperature changed. The current implementation sets the state to the previous Thermal Throttling state, which causes system to enter wrong power index.

2009-05-11iwlwifi: clean up PS codeJohannes Berg
This removes all the dead code that tries to adjust the power saving level based on the system AC state (inacceptable policy in the kernel) or based on overtemp conditions (unused). Also, pass _all_ policy wrt. enabling PS to mac80211, since we do not use the power_disabled internally I now use that to mirror the mac80211 CONF_PS setting. When mac80211 turns off CONF_PS we follow suit. This means that the user power level (which can currently only be set from sysfs) is not touched for mac80211 powersave changes. This means no "association status" checks are necessary since mac80211 will not allow power save to be enabled when not associated.

2009-05-11iwlwifi: fix PS disable status raceJohannes Berg
iwlwifi internally needs to keep track of whether PS is enabled in the firmware or not. To do this, it keeps a bit in the status flags, called STATUS_POWER_PMI. The code to set this bit looks as follows: static int iwl_set_power(struct iwl_priv *priv, void *cmd) { return iwl_send_cmd_pdu_async(priv, POWER_TABLE_CMD, sizeof(struct iwl_powertable_cmd), cmd, NULL); } int iwl_power_update_mode(...) { [...] if (final_mode != IWL_POWER_MODE_CAM) set_bit(STATUS_POWER_PMI, &priv->status); iwl_update_power_cmd(priv, &cmd, final_mode); cmd.keep_alive_beacons = 0; if (final_mode == IWL_POWER_INDEX_5) cmd.flags |= IWL_POWER_FAST_PD; ret = iwl_set_power(priv, &cmd); if (final_mode == IWL_POWER_MODE_CAM) clear_bit(STATUS_POWER_PMI, &priv->status); else set_bit(STATUS_POWER_PMI, &priv->status); if (priv->cfg->ops->lib->update_chain_flags && update_chains) priv->cfg->ops->lib->update_chain_flags(priv); [...] } Now, this bit really needs to track what the _firmware_ thinks, not what the driver thinks. Therefore, there is a race condition here -- the driver sets the bit before it knows that the async command sent to the card in the iwl_set_power function has been processed. As a result, the call to update_chain_flags() may think that the card has been woken up (PMI bit cleared) while in reality it hasn't processed the async POWER_TABLE_CMD yet. This leads to bugs -- any commands the update_chain_flags function sends can get stuck and subsequent commands also fail. The fix is almost trivial: since there's no reason to send an async command here (in fact, there almost never should be since many mac80211 callbacks can sleep) just make the function wait for the card to process the command and then return and clear the PMI bit.

This patch makes usage of the results from disconnected antenna alg to know how many antennas are connected. It also synchronizes between the chain noise alg and the W/A that disables power management during association. All the antennas must be enables during the chain noise algorithm. Hence, power management is restored only after the completion of the algorithm. In the future, we will need to update the AP that we don't support MIMO if there is only one antenna connected. We also need to update the rate scaling algorithm.
