There were a few places where the sc->rxlink pointer was set to NULL "just in case". This helps nothing - quite to the contrary it is problematic since it can create self-linked rx descriptors in the middle of the list of receive buffers. Here is an example how this could happen (thanks Bob!): cpu 0: cpu 1: ath5k_rx_stop ath5k_tasklet_rx sc->rxlink = NULL; /* just in case */ // following doesn't link used // buffer to prev. ath5k_rxbuf_setup() In the case of ath5k_rx_stop() and ath5k_stop_locked() buffers/descriptors are not changed so rxlink should not be changed as well. In ath5k_intr() we seem to try to work around a hardware bug, as the comment (which is copied 1:1 from the HAL) suggests. I don't see how this could help. Also the HAL does not set rxlink in this case (So where does this code come from? It has been there since the first import of ath5k). Changed to just increment a statistics counter. After this patch rxlink is only set to NULL before we initialize rx descriptors and updated when the descriptors are linked together.

Based on a patch from Bruno Randolf, attempting useful work while we are resetting the chip just leads to interface lockups and bad descriptor data, and possibly DMAing to freed buffers. Let's suspend all tasklets while reprogramming the registers in the card to avoid such problems. In the future we can convert the tasklets to threaded interrupt handlers to simplify things.

We currently trigger a reset via a tasklet when certain error conditions are detected so that the card will (eventually) restart. Unfortunately this makes locking complicated since reset can also be called in process context (e.g. for channel change). Currently nothing protects against concurrent resets, which can be the source of corruption bugs. Reset takes too long to spinlock the whole thing, so this patch moves deferred resets into the mac80211 workqueue to enable use of sc->lock mutex.

When kernel-internal users use cfg80211_get_bss() to get a reference to a BSS struct, they may end up getting one that would have been removed from the list if there had been any userspace access to the list. This leads to inconsistencies and problems. Fix it by making cfg80211_get_bss() ignore BSSes that cfg80211_bss_expire() would remove.

The patch 'ath9k: fix a buffer leak in A-MPDU completion' addressed the issue of running out of buffers/descriptors in the tx path if a STA is deleted while tx status feedback is still pending. The remaining issue is that the skbs of the buffers are not reclaimed, leaving a memory leak. This patch fixes this issue by running the buffers through ath_tx_complete_buf(), ensuring that the pending frames counter is also updated.

AR5008+ and AR9003 currently use two separate implementations of the ath9k_hw_loadnf function. There are three main differences: - PHY registers for AR9003 are different - AR9003 always uses 3 chains, earlier versions are more selective - The AR9003 variant contains a fix for NF load timeouts This patch merges the two implementations into one, storing the register array in the ath_hw struct. The fix for NF load timeouts is not just relevant for AR9003, but also important for earlier hardware, so it's better to just keep one common implementation.

If the receive path gets stuck, a full hardware reset is necessary to recover from it. If this happens during a scan, the whole scan might fail, as each channel change bypasses the full reset sequence. Fix this by resetting the fast channel change flag if stopping the receive path fails. This will reduce the number of error messages that look like this: ath: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0x00000024 AR_DIAG_SW=0x40000020 Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.

On AR9285, the antenna switch configuration register uses more than just 16 bits. Because of an arbitrary mask applied to the EEPROM value that stores this configuration, diversity was broken in some cases, leading to a significant degradation in signal strength. Fix this by changing the callback to return a 32 bit value and remove the arbitrary mask. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.

Currently rt2x00 uses the TSF_SYNC_BEACON mode for all beaconing interface types. However, TSF_SYNC_BEACON is meant for IBSS networks and thus implements TSF merging in the hardware. Rename TSF_SYNC_BEACON to TSF_SYNC_ADHOC to better express its purpose and introduce the missing TSF sync mode TSF_SYNC_AP_NONE which should be used for beaconing modes that don't need TSF merging.

Using the set_tim callback without managing the DTIM count and the broad- and multicast buffering in hw, fw or the driver results in wrong DTIM count values being sent out in beacons. Since all PCI drivers fetch new beacons periodically and hence get an updated TIM we can just remove the set_tim callback from these. The rt2x00 USB drivers don't update the beacon periodically and thus rely on the set_tim callback to get a correct TIM for beacon transmission. USB devices still suffer from the DTIM count being wrong under some circumstances but removing the set_tim callback from these would cause more harm then good.

Updating the beacon on pre tbtt instead of beacondone allows much lower latency in regard to TIM updates. Hence, use the pre tbtt interrupt for updating the beacon in rt2800pci (older devices don't provide a pre tbtt interrupt). Also, add a new driver flag to indicate if a driver has pre tbtt support or not and implement the according behavior in rt2x00lib.

Since all rt2x00 PCI drivers use threaded interrupts now we don't need to schedule a work just to update the beacon. The only place where the beacon still gets updated in atomic context is from the set_tim callback. Hence, move the work scheduling there.

Use threaded interrupts for all rt2x00 PCI devices. This has several generic advantages: - Reduce the time we spend in hard irq context - Use non-atmic mac80211 functions for rx/tx Furthermore implementing broad- and multicast buffering will be much easier in process context while maintaining low latency and updating the beacon just before transmission (pre tbtt interrupt) can also be done in process context.

Implement watchdog monitoring for USB devices (PCI support can be added later). This will determine if URBs being uploaded to the hardware are actually returning. Both rt2500usb and rt2800usb have shown that URBs being uploaded can remain hanging without being released by the hardware. By using this watchdog, a queue can be reset when this occurs. For rt2800usb it has been tested that the connection is preserved even though this interruption. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Currently vgc_level_reg and vgc_level are equal to eachother, while the purpose of vgc_level_reg is the value last written to the register and is remembered through link tuning resets. The vgc_level is the currently active level, which is reset during link tuning resets.

The RSSI values in the RXWI descriptor aren't true RSSI values. Instead they are more like the AGC values similar to rt61pci. And as such, it needs the same conversion before it can be passed to rt2x00lib/mac80211. This requires the struct queue_entry to be passed to rt2800_process_rxwi rather then the skb structure which is contained in the queue_entry. This is required to obtain the lna_gain information from the rt2x00_dev structure. This fixes connection problems when using wpa_supplicant which would try to connect to the worst AP's rather then the best ones.
