2008-04-01rt2x00: Remove MAC80211_LEDS dependencyIvo van Doorn
Implement triggers inside rt2x00 itself based on input from mac80211. This replaces the method of using the mac80211 trigger events which do not work for USB drivers due to the scheduling requirement. After this patch RT2500USB_LEDS and RT73USB_LEDS no longer need to be tagged as broken since they now support LED handling again without having to check for in_atomic().

2008-04-01rt2x00: TO_DS filter depends on intf_ap_countIvo van Doorn
The TO_DS filter does not only depend on the FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS flag provided by mac80211, but also on the intf_ap_count count. This makes sense, since when Master mode is active, we should all frames that are send to the active AP (the device itself). This means that when an interface is added we should force the packet filter to be updated during the next mac80211 call of configure_filter() to make sure the intf_ap_count field is checked.

2008-03-25rt2x00: Fix in_atomic() usageIvo van Doorn
rt73usb and rt2500usb used in_atomic to determine if a configuration step should be rescheduled or not. Since in_atomic() is not a valid method to determine if sleeping is allowed we should fix the way this is handled by adding a new flag to rt2x00. In addition mark LED class support for the drivers broken since that also uses the broken in_atomic() method but so far no solution exists to have LED triggers work only in scheduled context.

2008-03-25rt2x00: Add dev_flags to rx descriptorIvo van Doorn
The rxdone_entry_desc structure contains 3 fields which are always 1 or 0. We can safe 8 bytes by replacing them with a single dev_flags fields which contain the flags for those settings. Additionally we can remove the OFDM flag since it is no longer used since the introduction of the SIGNAL_PLCP flag. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-03-13rt2x00: Fix rt2400pci signalIvo van Doorn
After sampling hundreds of RX frame descriptors, the results were conclusive: - The Ralink documentation regarding the SIGNAL and RSSI are wrong. It turns out that of the 5 BBR registers, we should not use BBR0 and BBR1 for SIGNAL and RSSI respectively, but actually BBR1 and BBR2. BBR0 does show values, but the exact meaning remains unclear, but they cannot be translated into a SIGNAL or RSSI field. BBR3, BBR4 and BBR5 are always 0, so their meaning is unknown. As it turns out, the reported SIGNAL is the PLCP value, this in contradiction to what was expected looking at rt2500pci which only reported the PLCP values for OFDM rates and bitrate values for CCK rates. This means we should let the driver raise the flag about the contents of the SIGNAL field so rt2x00lib can always do the right thing based on what the driver reports.

2008-03-13rt2x00: Start bugging when rt2x00lib doesn't filter SW diversityIvo van Doorn
rt2x00lib should filter SW diversity out before sending any configuration changes to the driver. When rt2x00lib fails to do this, it is important that such events are reported because it _must_ be fixed. So upgrading the error level to a BUG_ON() which will make sure this bug gets noticed whenever it happens. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-03-13rt2x00: Only disable beaconing just before beacon updateIvo van Doorn
We should not write 0 to the beacon sync register during config_intf() since that will clear out the beacon interval and forces the beacon to be send out at the lowest interval. (reported by Mattias Nissler). The side effect of the same bug was that while working with multiple virtual AP interfaces a change for any of those interfaces would disable beaconing untill an beacon update was provided. This is resolved by only updating the TSF_SYNC value during config_intf(). In update_beacon() we disable beaconing temporarily to prevent fake beacons to be transmitted. Finally kick_tx_queue() will enable beaconing again. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-02-29rt2x00: Cleanup mode registrationIvo van Doorn
Don't wildly pass any number for num_rates to rt2x00lib, instead pass which type of rates are supported (CCK, OFDM). Same for num_modes but then for the 2GHZ and 5GHZ band.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Remove reset_tsf()Ivo van Doorn
Specifications indicate the TSF registers are read-only, so there is no point in writing 0 to those registers. As far as I know there isn't another way to reset the TSF registers.

Make use of the led triggers provided by mac80211 to control the led status. This can be enabled through a per-driver configuration option which will automatically enable the generic handler in rt2x00lib. This has been enabled for rt2500usb and rt73usb for the moment since the led class will call set_brightness in irq context which will not work correctly with the usb drivers who need to sleep.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Move beacon and atim queue defines into rt2x00Ivo van Doorn
As Johannes Berg indicated the BEACON and AFTER_BEACON queue indeces in mac80211 should be removed because they are too hardware specific. This patch adds the queue index defines into rt2x00queue.h and removes the dependency of the defines inside mac80211.h. Also move rt2x00pci_beacon_update() into rt2400pci and rt2500pci individually since it is no longer a generic function since rt61 and rt2800 no longer use that.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Add per-interface structureIvo van Doorn
Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically. Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific. Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support: rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support will be very unlikely. Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry, with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master mode interfaces are currently active. The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are often called together since they all belong to the interface configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up the configuration handler as well. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Queue handling overhaulIvo van Doorn
This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also renames "ring" to "queues". Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header, use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation. Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing system of the queue. Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data, this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves code readability. rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific structure. rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames, since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO. Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect beacon handling or beacon related code. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28mac80211: add unified BSS configurationJohannes Berg
This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode. This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback when the BSS configuration changes. This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following new features: * drivers are notified of their association AID * drivers are notified of association status and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does the relevant driver updates for the latter change.

2008-01-28rt2x00: Move packet filter flagsIvo van Doorn
The packet filter flags don't belong in the interface structure because they are device based instead of interface based. So move the filter fields out of struct interface and into rt2x00_dev.

This would lead to rt2x00lib_beacondone adding work which called rt2x00lib_beacondone_scheduled which called ieee80211_beacon_get which printed an error about not having any beacon data.

This also implies that rt2x00 should no longer write the hw->config.antenna_sel_* values based on the EEPROM input. This also adds the basis in rt2x00lib for correct software diversity handling.

2007-10-10[PATCH] rt2x00: Fix rfkill handlingIvo van Doorn
As reported by Modestas Vainius, enabling rkfill in 1 driver and disabling it in a second could cause a NULL pointer exception when the rfkill-disabled driver still sets the CONFIG_SUPPORT_HW_BUTTON flag. Furthermore, rfkill expects the timeout as a value in milliseconds instead of jiffies. Also increase the timeout to a second, since this 250ms would be overkill. Also the flag DEVICE_ENABLED_RADIO_HW is causing problems for devices which do not support the hardware button while rfkill is enabled in the driver. To remidy this we should inverse the flag and its meaning, rename the flag to DEVICE_DISABLED_RADIO_HW this means that by default the radio is enabled by the hardware button (if present) and can only be disabled explicitely.

2007-10-10[PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configurationJohannes Berg
Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.
