2010-10-07ath9k_hw: Fix hw reset failure with HTC driverRajkumar Manoharan
The following commit removed DISABLE_REGWRITE_BUFFER ops. The unnecessary REGWRITE_BUFFER_FLUSH was not removed properly which is causing failure on hw reset.

2010-10-06Revert "iwlwifi: do not perferm force reset while doing scan"Stanislaw Gruszka
This reverts commit 7acc7c683a747689aaaaad4fce1683fc3f85e552. It was applied to avoid possible warning in ieee80211_restart_hw, however reason of the warning were races in mac80211, currently hopefully fixed. Not reseting device when performing scan is bad for two reasons. When forcing reset from iwl_check_stuck_queue(), in case of fail, reset will be repeated until scan finish. But since firmware is in bad shape, scan only finish after scan_check work (about 7s). So we will delay the reset, what is not good behaviour. When forcing reset from iwl_recover_from_statistics(), we will not repeat the reset, so we will not perform reset at all when needed.

The cycle counters are used by ANI to determine the amount of time that the radio spent not receiving or transmitting. They're also used for debugging purposes if the baseband watchdog on AR9003 detects a lockup. In the future, we want to use these counters to determine the medium utilization and export this information via survey.

The calibration actual calibration flags are only used by the per chip family source files, so it makes more sense to define them in those files instead of globally.

2010-10-05rt2x00: Work around hw aggregation oddity in rt2800Helmut Schaa
If a frame is not meant to be sent as AMPDU or part of it the hw might still decide to aggregate this frame if a previous frame started an AMPDU. However, this will limit the usefulness of the reported tx rate since the reported rate will be the one specified in the TXWI of the first frame and thus it is not possible to reliably caculate the number of retrys by substracting the reported tx rate from the tx rate in the TXWI. To fix this issue, only report the successful rate for frames that were not meant to be aggregated but ended up in an aggregate. Example: Frame A (MCS7, AMPDU=1) B (MCS7, AMPDU=1) C (MCS12, AMDPU=0, PROBE_RATE) Although frame C shoudn't be aggregated the hw might sill put it into an AMPDU together with A and B. If the transmission succeeds the tx status will contain MCS7 for all three frames. In that case we should only report MCS7 as success rate and avoid reporting MCS12-MCS8 as failed tx attempts as this will affect the future rate control decisions. This oddity might strike us in other scenarious as well but the most common "wrong" report happened for frames used to probe a different tx rate. This improves the rate control decisions notable.

2010-10-05rt2x00: Improve TX status entry validationIvo van Doorn
The TX_STA_FIFO contains some information for identifying a outgoing frame, however matching by WCID and ACK status is not sufficient to 100% identify the macthing queue_entry structure (containing the SKB buffer) which belongs to the status report. Within TX_STA_FIFO we have a 4-bit field named PACKETID, which is currently used to encode the queue id. The queue ID is however limited to values from 0 to 3, which means 2 bits are sufficient to encode the value. With the remaining 2 bits we can encode a partial queue_entry index number. The value of PACKETID is not allowed to become 0, with the queue ID ranging from 0 to 3, at least one of the bits for the entry identification must be 1. That leaves us with 3 possible values we can still encode in the bits. Altough this doesn't allow 100% accurate matching of the TX_STA_FIFO queue to a queue_entry structure, it at least improves the accuracy. This allows us to better detect if we have missed the TX_STA_FIFO report, which in turn reduces the number of watchdog warnings regarding the TX status timeout.

2010-10-05rt2x00: Fix race between dma mapping and clearing rx entries in rt2800pciHelmut Schaa
During rx, rt2x00lib calls rt2800pci_fill_rxdone to read the RX descriptor. At that time the skb is already dma unmapped but no new skb was dma mapped for this entry again. However, rt2800pci_fill_rxdone also moves the hw rx queue index, marking this entry to be available for reuse. Since no new skb was dma mapped and also the previous skb was unmapped this might lead to strange hw behavior. To fix this issue move the hw rx queue index increment to rt2800pci_clear_entry where a new skb was already dma mapped and can be safely used by the hw.

2010-10-05rt2x00: Fix SM PS checkHelmut Schaa
Fix a check for dynamic SM PS mode in the STAs HT caps. Since a value of 3 means "SM PS disabled" the previous check assumed in that case that "dynamic SM PS" was enabled and as such prefixed every MCS>7 frame with a unnecessary RTS/CTS exchange. Also, the bit shift was done in the wrong direction. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-10-05rt2x00: rework tx status handling in rt2800pciHelmut Schaa
This patch changes the way tx status reports are handled by rt2800pci. Previously rt2800pci would sometimes lose tx status reports as the TX_STA_FIFO register is a fifo of 16 entries that can overflow in case we don't read it often/fast enough. Since interrupts are disabled in the device during the execution of the interrupt thread it happend sometimes under high network and CPU load that processing took too long and a few tx status reports were dropped by the hw. To fix this issue the TX_STA_FIFO register is read directly in the interrupt handler and stored in a kfifo which is large enough to hold all status reports of all used tx queues. To process the status reports a new tasklet txstatus_tasklet is used. Using the already used interrupt thread is not possible since we don't want to disable the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt while processing them and it is not possible to schedule the interrupt thread multiple times for execution. A tasklet instead can be scheduled multiple times which allows to leave the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt enabled while a previously scheduled tasklet is still executing. In short: All other interrupts are handled in the interrupt thread as before. Only the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt is partly handled in the interrupt handler and finished in the according tasklet. One drawback of this patch is that it duplicates some code from rt2800lib. However, that can be cleaned up in the future once the rt2800usb and rt2800pci tx status handling converge more. Using this patch on a Ralink RT3052 embedded board gives me a reliable wireless connection even under high CPU and network load. I've transferred several gigabytes without any queue lockups.
