2009-08-20rt2x00: Add support for retry ratesBenoit PAPILLAULT
rt2800pci can handle different retry rates, it will always step 1 rate down after a failed transmission so creating the retry rate list for mac80211 is quite simple.

2009-05-06rt2x00: Add support for L2 padding during TX/RXIvo van Doorn
Some hardware require L2 padding between header and payload because both must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary. This hardware also is easier during the RX path since we no longer need to move the entire payload but rather only the header to remove the padding (mac80211 only wants the payload to be 4-byte aligned).

2009-05-06rt2x00: Move iv_len into tx descriptor dataIvo van Doorn
By placing the iv_len into the tx descriptor data and by passing this data to the crypto IV handlers we can save multiple calls to ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb() and some if-statements when copying/removing the IV data from the outgoing frame.

2009-01-29rt2x00: Introduce RXDONE_SIGNAL_MASK maskIvo van Doorn
Improve error message reporting when a frame was received with unknown rate. Instead of using the boolean check if the frame is supposed to be a PLCP value or not, we should add a new mask (RXDONE_SIGNAL_MASK) which returns the type identification for a signal value (i.e. PLCP). At the moment we only have 2 different types, but more will arrive when support for 11n is added. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-01-29rt2x00: Remove ENTRY_TXD_OFDM_RATEIvo van Doorn
The flag ENTRY_TXD_OFDM_RATE isn't flexible enough to indicate which rate modulation should be used for a frame. This will become a problem when 11n support is added. Remove the flag and replace it with an enum value which can better indicate the exact rate modulation. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-12-05rt2x00: Add RXDONE_CRYPTO_IV/ICV flagsIvo van Doorn
Drivers should notify rt2x00lib when they provide the IV/ICV data.

2008-12-05rt2x00: Optimize IV/EIV handlingIvo van Doorn
IV and EIV belong to eachother and don't require 2 seperate fields. Instead they can logically be merged into a single array with size 2. With this approach we can simplify the code in rt2x00crypto.c by using a single memcpy() when copying the iv/eiv data. Additionally we can move some code out of if-statements because the if-statement would always be true. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-11-25rt2x00: Detect USB BULK in/out endpointsIvo van Doorn
Instead of hardcoding the used in/out endpoints we should detect them by walking through all available endpoints. rt2800usb will gain the most out of this, because the legacy drivers indicate that there are multiple endpoints available. However this code might benefit at least rt73usb as well for the MIMO queues, and if we are really lucky rt2500usb will benefit because for the TX and PRIO queues. Even if rt2500usb and rt73usb do not get better performance after this patch, the endpoint detection still belongs to rt2x00usb, and it shouldn't hurt to always try to detect the available endpoints.

2008-10-31mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control APIJohannes Berg
So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control, most drivers don't support that though.

2008-08-29rt2x00: Add Signal type flagIvo van Doorn
Instead of using the PLCP flag to indicate if the signal value is plcp or the bitrate we should add a new flag to mark the bitrate type explicitely.

2008-08-29rt2x00: Initialize txop during conf_tx() callbackIvo van Doorn

2008-08-22rt2x00: Implement HW encryptionIvo van Doorn
Various rt2x00 devices support hardware encryption. Most of them require the IV/EIV to be generated by mac80211, but require it to be provided seperately instead of within the frame itself. This means that rt2x00lib should extract the data from the frame and place it in the frame descriptor. During RX the IV/EIV is provided in the descriptor by the hardware which means that it should be inserted into the frame by rt2x00lib.

2008-07-29rt2x00: Fix QOS sequence countingIvo van Doorn
When IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ is not set, the driver should disable hardware sequence counting to make sure the mac80211 provided counter is used. This fixes QOS sequence counting, since that is one of the cases where mac80211 provides a seperate sequence counter. By moving the sequence counting code to rt2x00queue we make sure that _all_ frames get the sequence counter, including RTS/CTS and Beacon frames.

rt2400 is the only currently available rt2x00 driver which supports reporting of the RX end time for frames.

2008-06-26rt2x00: Cleanup symbol exportsIvo van Doorn
With a bit of code moving to rt2x00lib within the TX and RX paths we can now remove a lot of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() statements. This cleans up the interface between rt2x00lib and the drivers and has the additional benefit that rt2x00pci and rt2x00usb are trimmed down in size as well since they have less to do.

2008-06-26rt2x00: Replace statically allocated DMA buffers with mapped skb's.Gertjan van Wingerde
The current PCI drivers require a lot of pre-allocated DMA buffers. Reduce this by using dynamically mapped skb's (using pci_map_single) instead of the pre- allocated DMA buffers that are allocated at device start-up time. At the same time move common RX path code into rt2x00lib from rt2x00pci and rt2x00usb, as the RX paths now are now almost the same.

2008-06-14rt2x00: Don't kick TX queue after each frameIvo van Doorn
TX queues shouldn't be kicked after each frame that is put into the queue. This could cause problems during RTS and CTS-to-self as well as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached, will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame. In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

rt2x00usb_kick_tx_queue() will loop over all entries within the INDEX_DONE->INDEX range and kick each entry which is pending to be kicked.

This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit, a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps is kept outside of the union. A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part of this patch.

2008-05-21rt2x00: Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc()Ivo van Doorn
Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() up into a TX descriptor initializor and TX descriptor writer. This split is required to properly allow mac80211 to move its tx_control structure into the skb->cb array. The rt2x00queue_create_tx_descriptor() function will read all tx control information and convert it into a rt2x00 TX descriptor information structure. After that function is complete, we have all information we needed from the tx control structure and are free to start writing into the skb->cb array for our own purposes. rt2x00queue_write_tx_descriptor() will be in charge of really sending the TX descriptor to the hardware and kicking the TX queue.

feature. With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected. The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use, and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation. Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents inside a mac80211 structure.

2008-05-21rt2x00: Fix TX status reportingIvo van Doorn
The tx_status enumeration was broken since the introduction of rt61pci. That driver uses different values to report the status of the tx action. This would lead to frames that were reported as success but actually failed to be send out, or frames that were neither successfull or failure which were reported as failure. Fix this by change the TX status reporting and more explicitely check for failure or success. Note that a third possibility is added "unknown". Not all hardware (USB) can report the actual TX status, for rt61pci some frames will receive this status because the TXdone handler is never called for those frames. This unknown will now be handled as neither success or failure, so we no longer increment the failure counter while this conclusion could not be determined from the real status of the frame.

2008-05-21rt2x00: trim skb_frame_desc to 32 bytesIvo van Doorn
Remove frame_type from skb_frame_desc and pass it as argument to rt2x00debug_dump_frame(). Change data_len and desc_len to unsigned short to save another 4 bytes in skb_frame_desc. Note that this was the only location where the data_len and desc_len was not yet treated as unsigned short. This trim is required to help mac80211 with adding the TX control and TX status informtation into the skb->cb structure. When that happens, drivers will have approximately 40 bytes left to use freely. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Use the rt2x00 queue enumeration as much as possible, removing the usage of the mac80211 queue numbering wherever it is possible.

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.

This adds a new flag for the skb_frame_desc structure which is used to tag rts/cts frames that are generated by the driver.

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.
