2011-06-01ath9k: unify edma and non-edma tx code, improve tx fifo handlingFelix Fietkau
EDMA based chips (AR9380+) have 8 Tx FIFO slots, which are used to fix the tx queue start/stop race conditions which have to be worked around for earlier chips by keeping the last descriptor in the queue. The current code stores all frames that do not fit onto the 8 FIFO slots in a separate list. Whenever a FIFO slot is freed up, the next frame (or A-MPDU) from the pending queue gets moved to that slot. This process is not only inefficient, but also unnecessary. The code can be improved visibly by keeping the pending queue fully linked, and moving the contents of the entire queue to a FIFO slot as it becomes available. This patch makes the necessary changes for that and also merges some code that was duplicated for EDMA vs non-EDMA. It changes txq->axq_link to point to the last descriptor instead of the link pointer, so that ath9k_hw_set_desc_link can be used, which works on all chips. With this patch, a small performance increase for non-aggregated traffic was observed on AR9380 based embedded hardware. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

The assumsion is that while processing ath9k tasklet, interrupts were already disabled and it will be enabled at the completion of ath9k tasklet.

2011-04-19ath9k: assign keycache slots to unencrypted stationsFelix Fietkau
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>
2011-04-19ath9k: fix powersave frame filtering/buffering in AP modeFelix Fietkau
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.

2011-04-13ath9k: introduce ATH9K_{PCI,AHB} config optionsGabor Juhos
Currently ath9k only available in menuconfig if PCI bus support is enabled. However the driver is required for the built-in wireless MACs of the Atheros AR9130/AR9132 SoCs. These SoCs have no PCI controller, the wireless MAC is connected to the AHB bus on them. Introduce separated config options for the supported buses, in order to allow building of ath9h without PCI bus support. As a bonus, this patch removes the cross-reference of the ATHEROS_AR71XX option which is not present in the kernel. Cc: Luis R.

2011-04-07ath9k: configure beacons based on hw opmodeRajkumar Manoharan
Current ath9k code does not handle beacon timers on opmode specific. One such example is that a STA beacon config overwrites already configured AP vif's beacon timers during scan. On multi station vif case, configure beacon timers beased on primary vif selected. This also helps while moving back to single STA vif from multi STA vifs, where the power save is enabled and hw has to be reconfigured with proper beacon and bssid/aid. Otherwise connection poll will be triggered so frequently due to beacon loss. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2011-03-30ath9k: fix stuck beacon detectionFelix Fietkau
Stuck beacon detection is supposed to trigger when 9 consecutive beacons could not be sent by the hardware. When the driver runs only one active AP mode interface, it still configures the hardware beacon timer for 4 (ATH_BCBUF) beacon slots slots, which causes stuck beacon detection to be reset if ath9k_hw_stoptxdma clears the stuck frames between SWBA intervals. Fix this by not resetting the missed beacon count for empty slots and multiplying the threshold not by the maximum number of beacon slots but by the configured number of beacon interfaces.

2011-03-30ath9k: fix beacon timer handling issuesFelix Fietkau
AP mode beacon timers in ath9k are configured in milliseconds, which breaks when increasing ATH_BCBUF to 8 instead of 4 (due to rounding errors). Since the hardware timers are actually configured in microseconds, it's better to let the driver use that unit directly. To be able to do that, the beacon interval parameter abuse for passing certain flags needs to be removed. This is easy to do, because those flags are completely unnecessary anyway. ATH9K_BEACON_ENA is ignored, ATH9K_BEACON_RESET_TSF can be replaced with calling ath9k_hw_reset_tsf from the driver directly. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

Since even with the latest changes the false positive issue of the baseband hang check is not fully solved yet, additional checks are needed. If the baseband hang occurs, the rx_clear signal will be stuck to high, so we can use the cycle counters to confirm it.

It looks like some hardware registers are left into undefined state after suspend/resume. At minimum, this can cause odd issues related to key cache and hardware trying to encrypt/decrypt frames unexpectedly. This seems to happen even when there is no keys configured, i.e., hardware can end up touching TX frames just based of invalid key cache context even if the driver is not asking a specific entry to be used.

2010-12-20ath9k: do not limit the chainmask to 1 for legacy modeFelix Fietkau
Restricting the chainmask to 1 for legacy mode disables useful features such as MRC, and it reduces the available transmit power. I can't think of a good reason to do this in legacy mode, so let's just get rid of that code. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-12-20ath9k: fix queue depth check for forming new aggregatesFelix Fietkau
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.

2010-12-15ath9k: Make PM-QOS value as user configurableMohammed Shafi Shajakhan
This patch allows the pm-qos value to be user configurable by making it as a module parameter.This will help our customers to configure the pm-qos value according to the effect in throughput due to the DMA latency problem which was observed in Intel Pinetrail platforms. The tested value of '55' will be filled as the default pm-qos-value incase the user does not specifies pm-qos value as a module parameter. example usage: sudo modprobe ath9k pmqos=65 Cc: Senthilkumar Balasubramanian <Senthilkumar.Balasubramanian@Atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mshajakhan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-12-07ath9k: fix a DMA related race condition on resetFelix Fietkau
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.

2010-11-30ath9k: Add support for Adaptive Power ManagementMohammed Shafi Shajakhan
This feature is to mitigate the problem of certain 3 stream chips that exceed the PCIe power requirements.An EEPROM flag controls which chips have APM enabled which is basically read from miscellaneous configuration element of the EEPROM header. This workaround will reduce power consumption by using 2 Tx chains for Single and Double stream rates (5 GHz only).All self generated frames (regardless of rate) are sent on 2 chains when this feature is enabled(Chip Limitation).

The ath9k driver uses a shared pm_qos_request_list structure for all devices.
