2010-01-15ath9k: cleanup slot time and ack/cts timeout handlingFelix Fietkau
Previously ath9k left the initialization of slot timing and ACK/CTS timeout to the mode specific initvals. This does not handle short vs long slot in 2.4 GHz and uses a rather strange value for the 2.4 GHz ACK timeout (64 usec). This patch uses the proper ath9k_hw functions for setting slot time and timeouts and also implements the switch between short and long slot time in 2.4 GHz Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-01-14ath9k: Fix panic on driver loadSujith
The device has to be marked as invalid before registering the ISR. HW initialization takes place after the ISR has been registered, and the invalid flag is eventually cleared in the ->stop() callback.

2010-01-12ath5k: Implement mac80211 callback set_coverage_classLukáš Turek
The callback sets slot time as specified in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 (for 20MHz channels only for now) and raises ACK and CTS timeouts accordingly. The values are persistent, they are restored after device reset. Signed-off-by: Lukas Turek <8an@praha12.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-01-12ath5k: Reimplement clock rate to usec conversionLukáš Turek
The original code was correct in 802.11a mode only, 802.11b/g uses different clock rates. The new code uses values taken from FreeBSD HAL and should be correct for all modes including turbo modes. The former rate calculation was used by slope coefficient calculation function ath5k_hw_write_ofdm_timings. However, this function requires the 802.11a values even in 802.11g mode. Thus the use of ath5k_hw_htoclock was replaced by hardcoded values. Possibly the slope coefficient calculation is not related to clock rate at all.

2010-01-12ath5k: Fix functions for getting/setting slot timeLukáš Turek
Functions ath5k_hw_get_slot_time and ath5k_hw_set_slot_time were converting microseconds to clocks only for AR5210, although it's needed for all supported devices. The conversion was moved outside the hardware-specific branches. The original code also limited minimum slot time to 9, while turbo modes use 6, this was fixed too.

2010-01-12ath9k: re-enable ps by default for new single chip familiesLuis R. Rodriguez
The newer single chip hardware family of chipsets have not been experiencing issues with power saving set by default with recent fixes merged (even into stable). The remaining issues are only reported with AR5416 and since enabling PS by default can increase power savings considerably best to take advantage of that feature as this has been tested properly. For more details on this issue see the bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14267 We leave AR5416 with PS disabled by default, that seems to require some more work.

2010-01-04ath5k: Fix eeprom checksum check for custom sized eepromsLuis R. Rodriguez
Commit 8bf3d79bc401ca417ccf9fc076d3295d1a71dbf5 enabled EEPROM checksum checks to avoid bogus bug reports but failed to address updating the code to consider devices with custom EEPROM sizes. Devices with custom sized EEPROMs have the upper limit size stuffed in the EEPROM. Use this as the upper limit instead of the static default size. In case of a checksum error also provide back the max size and whether or not this was the default size or a custom one. If the EEPROM is busted we add a failsafe check to ensure we don't loop forever or try to read bogus areas of hardware.

2009-12-28ath5k: fix SWI calibration interrupt stormBob Copeland
The calibration period is now invoked by triggering a software interrupt from within the ISR by ath5k_hw_calibration_poll() instead of via a timer. However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the interval is actually negative. As a result, the ISR will arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a softlockup at modprobe time. Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval is set before interrupts are active. Another possible fix is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine, but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.

Next, software padding done on TX needs to be removed before calling ieee80211_tx_status. The code was already there in ath_tx_complete but it was wrong. Fix it by using ath9k_cmn_padpos.

2009-12-10ath5k: enable EEPROM checksum checkLuis R. Rodriguez
Without this we have no gaurantee of the integrity of the EEPROM and are likely to encounter a lot of bogus bug reports due to actual issues on the EEPROM. With the EEPROM checksum check in place we can easily rule those issues out. If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead on real concrete issues.

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.
