| * ath9k: assign keycache slots to unencrypted stationsFelix Fietkau2011-04-191-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Frame filtering relies on having a valid destination index (keycache slot), to keep track of the destination. Assigning a keycache slot (configured to unencrypted, with no key data attached) improves powersave handling in AP mode with no encryption. The dummy keycache entry for a station is cleared, when a real key gets added. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * ath9k: fix powersave frame filtering/buffering in AP modeFelix Fietkau2011-04-191-12/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations. This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting of A-MDPU subframes. Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT for unaggregated frames. A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state. Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This workaround called ath_txq_schedule whenever there were still pending frames for a queue, but the queue depth was zero. Because of its its high false positive probability (e.g. with paused TIDs) and because it is in the way of other pending work (AP powersave fixes), it is better to remove this code entirely.

* ath9k: Fix kernel panic in AR2427Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan2011-03-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kernel panic occurs just after AR2427 establishes connection with AP. Unless aggregation is enabled we don't initialize the TID structure. Thus accesing the elements of the TID structure when aggregation is disabled, leads to NULL pointer dereferencing.

* ath9k: fix aggregation related interoperability issuesFelix Fietkau2011-03-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Some clients seems to keep track of their reorder window even after an aggregation session has been disabled. This causes issues if there are still retried but not completed frames pending for the TID.

* ath9k: fix stopping tx dma on resetFelix Fietkau2011-03-141-8/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some situations, stopping Tx DMA frequently fails, leading to messages like this: ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last frame ath: Failed to stop TX DMA! This patch uses a few MAC features to abort DMA globally instead of iterating over all hardware queues and attempting to stop them individually. Not only is that faster and works with a shorter timeout, it also makes the process much more reliable. With this change, I can no longer trigger these messages on AR9380, and on AR9280 they become much more rare. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various places printing tx queue information used various different ways to get a tx queue index for printing statistics. Most of these ways were wrong. ATH_TXQ_AC_* cannot be used as an index for sc->tx.txq, because it is only used internally for queue assignment. One place used WME_AC_* as a queue index for sc->debug.stats.txstats, however this array uses the ath9k_hw queue number as well. Fix all of this by always using the ath9k_hw queue number as an index, and always looking it up by going through sc->tx.txq_map.

* | ath9k: clean up the code that wakes the mac80211 queuesFelix Fietkau2011-01-281-23/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of spreading ath_wake_mac80211_queue() calls over multiple places in the tx path that process the tx queue for completion, call it only where the pending frames counter gets decremented, eliminating some redundant checks. To prevent queue draining from waking the queues prematurely (e.g. during a hardware reset), reset the queue stop state when draining all queues, as the caller in main.c will run ieee80211_wake_queues(hw) anyway.

* | ath9k: fix misplaced debug codeFelix Fietkau2011-01-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit 'ath9k: Add more information to debugfs xmit file.' added more debug counters to ath9k and also added some lines of code to ath9k_hw. Since ath9k_hw is also used by ath9k_htc, its code must not depend on ath9k data structures. In this case it was not fatal, but it's still wrong, so the code needs to be moved back to ath9k.

* ath9k: fix queue depth check for forming new aggregatesFelix Fietkau2010-12-201-3/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | To improve aggregation length, there should not be more than two fully formed A-MPDU frames in the hardware queue. To ensure this, the code checks the tx queue length before forming new A-MPDUs. This can reduce the throughput (or maybe even starve out A-MPDU traffic) when too many non-aggregated frames are in the queue. Fix this by keeping track of pending A-MPDU frames (even when they're sent out as single frames), but exclude rate control probing frames to improve performance.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ath_drain_all_txq fails to stop DMA, it issues a hw reset. This reset happens at a very problematic point in time, when the hardware rx path has not been stopped yet. This could lead to memory corruption, hardware hangs or other issues. To fix these issues, simply remove the reset entirely and check the tx DMA stop status to prevent problems with fast channel changes.
