Implement Adaptive Tx Power Control algorithm. ATPC basically tries to decrease the tx power as much as possible while the throughput is not being hurt.

The fw recently added an option to set tx power reduction per station (in the lq_cmd command), and get the tx power reduction used (in the tx_resp struct). Use them and propogate this value up to mac80211's tx response (in order to use it later in the rate-scaling algorithm).

A hardware bug had been discovered on 7260 / 3160 and 7265 and the workaround for this bug is to force the NIC to stay awake as long as we have host commands in flight. This workaround has been introduced for all NICs in a previous patch: b9439491 ("iwlwifi: pcie: keep the NIC awake when commands are in flight") In newer NICs, this bug is solved, so we can let the NIC go to sleep even when we send commands. The hardware will wake up when we increment the scheduler write pointer. Make the workaround conditional to only use it on affected hardware.

Today, the driver logic looks for the conditions to disable power management albeit power management should be enabled in a very few distinct cases. This patch changes the driver logic to enable power management once the required conditions met. While at it, make some housekeeping and support a few additional use cases: a) Add support for a standalone p2p client: Power management should be enabled for a P2P client MAC only if the firmware supports it (TLV flag is set). Instead we used the DCM flag, therefore we didn't cover use cases that did not include the DCM flag. b) Add support to Same-Channel-Mode (SCM): If both clients share the same channel (SCM), and there are no other active vifs in the system, power management should be enabled only if the firmware supports this (TLV flag is set). c) Fix power management logic for GO/AP: Today, when we detect an active GO / AP MAC - we disable power management for all the vifs altogether. Actually, the correct behavior is to enable power management on a client if on a different channel (based on the firmware capabilities). d) Housekeeping - Along with that, this patch includes some code-reorganizing: Today the logic of disabling power is scattered across several functions, specifically in the iterator. For the sake of both readability and scalability, we moved this logic to its applicable function, leaving the iterator gather information only. Furthermore, as power management is a MAC-related attribute, we moved the power management member to the iwl_mvm_vif structure.

If allocation of io_dmabuf fails, rtl8187_probe() calls usb_put_dev(udev) while usb_get_dev(udev) is not called yet. As a result refcnt is decremented incorrectly and usb_dev can be used after memory deallocation. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

In rtl8180/rtl8185/rtl8187se the register space is represented using packed structure type. Register are thus accessed using a pointer of this type. All registers are packed toghether, and only small gaps are present. However Rtl8187se has also some "sparse" registers, very far from the "main register block". It could be possible to access them by simply declare huge reserved blocks inside the register struct (and this causes NO memory waste). However, for various reasons, access to those "far" registers is done with special dedicated macros, without declaring them in the register struct. This is done in an intricate manner, that makes code less readable and caused static analisys tool to produce warnings. This patch keeps the "macro" mechanism, but it changes its implementation in a simplier and more straightforward way. Signed-off-by: Andrea Merello <andrea.merello@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

ANAPARAM3 register, defined in the rtl818x common register struct, is accessed as 16bit by rtl8187se and as 8bit by rtl8187b. Since I have no documentation about this, I can only stick to the reference code and to what is known to work. This issue has been addressed by a patch from Larry Finger that introduces an "union", in the register struct. In my last patch-set I applied it on the register struct, but I forget to update rtl8187 driver too. This patch does it.

Add MSI interrupts mode support, enable it when submodules' msi_support flag is true, also could fallback to pin-based interrupts mode if MSI interrupts mode fails. RealTek's policy(on modules which work well with MSI interrupts mode) is: > If the platform supports both MSI and pin-based, use MSI. > If the platform supports MSI only, use MSI. > If the platform supports pin-based only, use pin-based.
