When we go offchannel mac80211 currently leaves alive the connection idle monitor. This should be instead postponed until we come back to our home channel, otherwise by the time we get back to the home channel we could be triggering unecesary probe requests. For APs that do not respond to unicast probe requests (Nexus One is a simple example) this means we essentially get disconnected after the probes fails.

Upon beacon loss we send probe requests after 30 seconds of idle time and we wait for each probe response 1/2 second. We send a total of 3 probe requests before giving up on the AP. In the case that we reset the connection idle monitor we should reset the probe requests count to 0. Right now this won't help in any way but the next patch will.

ath9k's entire logic with SC_OP_SCANNING is incorrect due to the way mac80211 currently implements the scan complete callback and we handle it in ath9k. This patch removes the flag completely in preference for the SC_OP_OFFCHANNEL which is really what we wanted. The scanning flag was used to ensure we reset ANI to the old values when we go back to the home channel, but if we are offchannel we use some defaults. The flag was also used to re-enable the TX monitor. Without this patch we simply never re-enabled ANI and the TX monitor after going offchannel. This means that after one background scan we are prone to noise issues and if we had a TX hang we would not recover. To get this to work properly we must enable ANI after we have configured the beacon timers, otherwise hardware acts really oddly. This patch has stable fixes which apply down to [2.6.36+], there *may* be a to fix this on older kernels but requires a bit of work since this patch relies on the new mac80211 flag IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which was introduced as of 2.6.36.

When we return to the home channel we were never reseting our beacon timers, this was casued by the fact that the scanning flag was still on even after we returned to our home channel. There are also other reasons why we would get a reset and if we are not off channel we always need to resynch our beacon timers, because a reset will clear them. This bug is a regression introduced on 2.6.36. The order of the changes are as follows: 5ee08656 - Sat Jul 31 - ath9k: prevent calibration during off-channel activity a0daa0e7 - Tue Jul 27 - Revert "mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing" 543708be - Fri Jun 18 - mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \ --contains 5ee08656 v2.6.36-rc1~43^2~34^2~22 mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \ --contains a0daa0e7 v2.6.36-rc1~571^2~64^2~13 mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \ --contains 543708be v2.6.36-rc1~571^2~107^2~187 So 5ee08656 would have worked if a0daa0e7 was not committed but it was so this means 5ee08656 was broken since it assumed that when we were in the channel change routine the scan flag would be lifted. As it turns out the scan flag will be set when we are already on the home channel. For more details refer to: http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=5715 These issues will need to be considered for our solution on reshifting the scan complete callback location on mac80211 on current development kernel work.

ath9k has a race on putting the chip into network sleep and having registers read from hardware. The race occurs because although ath9k_ps_restore() locks its own callers it makes use of some variables which get altered in the driver at different code paths. The variables are the ps_enabled and ps_flags. This is easily reprodicible in large network environments when roaming with the wpa_supplicant simple bgscan. You'd get some 0xdeadbeef read out on certain registers such as: ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x806c: 0xdeadbeef & 0x01f00000 != 0x00000000 ath: RX failed to go idle in 10 ms RXSM=0xdeadbeef ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000 ath: Chip reset failed The fix is to protect the ath9k_config(hw, IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_PS) calls with a spin_lock_irqsave() which will disable contendors for these variables from interrupt context, timers, re-entry from mac80211 on the same callback, and most importantly from ath9k_ps_restore() which is the only call which will put the device into network sleep.

To optimize register read/write operations, the HTC firmwares were patched to change EP3 and EP4 pipe types from Interrupt to Bulk. So register writes are submitted as bulk urbs, but register reads are not. Also changing the register read endpoint pipe as bulk type when URBs are filled improves the register reads considerably which results in reduced scan time and CPU utilization.

When a driver advertises p2p device support, mac80211 will handle it, but internally it will rewrite the interface type to STA/AP rather than P2P-STA/GO since otherwise a lot of paths need to be touched that are otherwise identical.

When an interface is brought up, the recent changes to allow changing type-while-up only set the running bit after everything was done. This broke a number of things, including idle calculation for monitor interfaces, and it also broke WDS station insertion (although nobody noticed yet). Thus, change the code to set the running bit earlier, but keep it after the driver's add_interface was called because otherwise drivers may iterate over interfaces they haven't fully set up yet.

Use common ath key management functions in ath5k. This fixes problems with HW encryption in AP mode, which was broken in the ath5k implementation. Before (with the ath5k implementation) only one client could connect to the AP using HW encryption and WPA. When a second client connected, the first client was not able to send/receive any more packets. Because of the problems with HW encryption, software encryption was always used in AP mode, which resulted in a high CPU load (and/or low thruput) on embedded devices. Instead of trying to fix the implementation in ath5k it makes more sense to share the code with ath9k. This also enables HW encryption for AP mode again.

Copied the key cache management functions from ath9k (common.c and hw.c) to ath/key.c so we can use them from ath5k, later. Minor changes have been made: - renamed ath9k_* to ath_* - replaced ah->caps.keycache_size with common->keymax - removed ATH9K_IS_MIC_ENABLED since it is always true. - the AR_PCU_MIC_NEW_LOC_ENA flag is replaced with (splitmic == 0).

At the time the .add_interface driver op is called, the interface has not been marked as running yet, so ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces will not pass it to the iterator function. Because of this, the calculated BSSID mask is wrong, which breaks multi-BSS operation. Additionally, the current way of comparing all addresses against each other is pointless, as the hardware only uses the hardware MAC address and the BSSID mask for matching the destination address, so all the address array reallocation is completely unnecessary. This patch simplifies the logic by setting the initial mask bytes to 0xff and removing all bits in the iterator call that don't match the hardware MAC address. It also calls the iterator for the vif that was passed to add_interface() Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Tested-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The CPU consumption during the scan period is high, since the register write go over Interrupt endpoint.
