Commit 56d1de0a, "ath5k: clean up filter flags setting" introduced a regression in monitor mode such that the promisc filter flag would get lost. Although we set the promisc flag when it changed, we did not preserve it across subsequent calls to configure_filter. This patch restores the original functionality.

When building a kernel with CONFIG_PM=y but neither suspend nor hibernate support, the compiler complains about the static functions ath5k_pci_suspend() and ath5k_pci_resume() not being used: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:713:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_suspend’ defined but not used drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:722:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_resume’ defined but not used Depending on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP rather than CONFIG_PM fixes the issue.

Processing an association response could take a bit of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that time, the AP might already send a blockack request. If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine, we can end up processing the blockack request before the association processing has finished. Since the blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also cannot make it wait in the driver. As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc setup completed. I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves queuing all blockack category action frames from a work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the code and make things easier. However, this is a very involved and complex change. To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be backported to stable, I've come up with this patch. Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames from the managed interface skb queue, which means their processing will be serialized with processing the association response, thereby fixing the problem.

Daniel reported that the paged RX changes had broken blockack request frame processing due to using data that wasn't really part of the skb data. Fix this using skb_copy_bits() for the needed data. As a side effect, this adds a check on processing too short frames, which previously this code could do.

We can wake all queues after a chip reset since everything should be set up and we are ready to transmit. If we don't do that we might end up starting up with stopped queues, not beeing able to transmit. (This started to happen after "ath5k: clean up queue manipulation" but since periodic calibration also stopped and started the queues this effect was hidden most of the time). This way we can also get rid of the superfluous ath5k_reset_wake() function. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Acked-by: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This bug was introduced by the following commit Author: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vasanth@atheros.com> Date: Thu Apr 15 17:38:46 2010 -0400 ath9k: Remove ATH9K_TX_SW_ABORTED and introduce a bool for this purpose Wrong buffer is checked for bf_tx_aborted field in ath_tx_num_badfrms(), this may result in a rate scaling with wrong feedback (number of unacked frames in this case). It is the last one in the chain of buffers for an aggregate frame that should be checked. Also it misses the initialization of this field in the buffer, this may lead to a situation where we stop the sw retransmission of failed subframes associated to this buffer.

We should use the same buffer size we set up for DMA also in the hardware descriptor. Previously we used common->rx_bufsize for setting up the DMA mapping, but used skb_tailroom(skb) for the size we tell to the hardware in the descriptor itself. The problem is that skb_tailroom(skb) can give us a larger value than the size we set up for DMA before. This allows the hardware to write into memory locations not set up for DMA. In practice this should rarely happen because all packets should be smaller than the maximum 802.11 packet size. On the tested platform rx_bufsize is 2528, and we allocated an skb of 2559 bytes length (including padding for cache alignment) but sbk_tailroom() was 2592. Just consistently use rx_bufsize for all RX DMA memory sizes. Also use the return value of the descriptor setup function.

The current frame length used by the driver for RX frames is the SPI bus transfer length. This length has padding bytes, which do not belong to the WLAN frame. As there is no other length information in the WLAN frame except the skb length this problem caused for instance extra ESSID's to be listed at the end of scan results (IE id 0) with zero length.

It is possible for internal scan to race against itself if the device is not returning the scan results from first requests. What happens in this case is the cleanup done during the abort of the first internal scan also cleans up part of the new scan, causing it to access memory it shouldn't. Here are details: * First internal scan is triggered and scan command sent to device. * After seven seconds there is no scan results so the watchdog timer triggers a scan abort. * The scan abort succeeds and a SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION is received for failed scan. * During processing of SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION we clear STATUS_SCANNING and queue the "scan_completed" work. ** At this time, since the problem that caused the internal scan in first place is still present, a new internal scan is triggered. The behavior at this point is a bit different between 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 since 2.6.35 has a lot of this synchronized. The rest of the race description will thus be generalized. ** As part of preparing for the scan "is_internal_short_scan" is set to true. * At this point the completion work for fist scan is run. As part of this there is some locking missing around the "is_internal_short_scan" variable and it is set to "false". ** Now the second scan runs and it considers itself a real (not internal0 scan and thus causes problems with wrong memory being accessed. The fix is twofold. * Since "is_internal_short_scan" should be protected by mutex, fix this in scan completion work so that changes to it can be serialized. * Do not queue a new internal scan if one is in progress.

Fix some issues introduced in batch skb dequeuing for input_pkt_queue. The primary issue it that the queue head must be incremented only after a packet has been processed, that is only after __netif_receive_skb has been called. This is needed for the mechanism to prevent OOO packet in RFS. Also when flushing the input_pkt_queue and process_queue, the process queue should be done first to prevent OOO packets. Because the input_pkt_queue has been effectively split into two queues, the calculation of the tail ptr is no longer correct. The correct value would be head+input_pkt_queue->len+process_queue->len. To avoid this calculation we added an explict input_queue_tail in softnet_data. The tail value is simply incremented when queuing to input_pkt_queue.
