This flow happens when we get a failed single Tx response on an AMPDU queue. In this case, the frame won't be sent any more. So we need to move the window on the recipient side. This is done by a BAR. Now if we are in the following case: 10, 12 and 13 are ACKed and 11 isn't. 10 11 12 13. V X V V Then, 11 will be sent 16 times as an MPDU (as oppsed to A-MPDU). If this failed, we are entering the flow described above. So we need to send a BAR with ssn = 12. But in this case, the scheduler will tell us to free frames up to 13 (included). So, it is perfectly possible to get a failed single Tx response on an AMPDU queue that makes the scheduler's ssn jump by more than 1 single packet.

Since the device is being restarted, all the Rx / Tx Block Ack sessions are been wiped out by the driver. So ignore the requests from mac80211 that stops Tx agg while reconfiguring the device. Note that stopping a non-existing Rx BA session is harmless, so just honor mac80211's request.

Given a device with many channels capabilities the wiphy information can still overflow even though its size in 3.9 was reduced to 3.8 levels. For new userspace and kernel 3.10 we're going to implement a new "split dump" protocol that can use multiple messages per wiphy. For now though, add a workaround to be able to send more information to userspace. Since generic netlink doesn't have a way to set the minimum dump size globally, and we wouldn't really want to set it globally anyway, increase the size only when needed, as described in the comments. As userspace might not be prepared for large buffers, we can only use 4k. Also increase the size for the get_wiphy command. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Recently in commit 8a964f44 ("iwlwifi: always copy first 16 bytes of commands") we fixed the problem that the hardware writes back to the command and that could overwrite parts of the data that was still needed and would thus be corrupted. Investigating this problem more closely we found that this write-back isn't really ordered very well with respect to other DMA traffic. Therefore, it sometimes happened that the write-back occurred after unmapping the command again which is clearly an issue and could corrupt the next allocation that goes to that spot, or (better) cause IOMMU faults. To fix this, allocate coherent memory for the first 16 bytes of each command, containing the write-back part, and use it for all queues. All the dynamic DMA mappings only need to be TO_DEVICE then. This ensures that even when the write-back happens "too late" it can't hit memory that has been freed or a mapping that doesn't exist any more. Since now the actual command is no longer modified, we can also remove CMD_WANT_HCMD and get rid of the DMA sync that was necessary to update the scratch pointer.

Supporting 8K A-MSDU means that we need to allocate order 1 pages for every Rx packet. Even when there is no traffic. This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager and not using them will make the allocation code run faster although I didn't really measure. Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP to have a big Rx window. See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details. Note that very few vendors will actually send A-MSDU. Disable this feature by default.

The reason we mapped them bidirectionally was that not doing so had caused IOMMU exceptions, due to the fact that the HW writes back into the command. Now that the first part of the command including the write-back part is always in the first buffer, we don't need to map the remaining buffer(s) bidi and can get rid of the special-casing for commands. This is a requisite patch for another one to fix DMA mapping. Reviewed-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

On many different chips, important aspects of the MAC state are not fully cleared by a warm reset. This can show up as tx/rx hangs, those annoying "DMA failed to stop in 10 ms..." messages or other quirks. On AR933x, the chip can occasionally get stuck in a way that only a driver unload/reload or a reboot would bring it back to life. With this patch, a full reset is issued when bringing the chip out of FULL-SLEEP state (after idle), or if either Rx or Tx was not shut down properly. This makes the DMA related error messages disappear completely in my tests on AR933x, and the chip does not get stuck anymore.

Some mlme work structs are not cancelled on disassociation nor interface deletion, which leads to them running after the memory has been freed There is not a clean way to cancel these in the disassociation logic because they must be canceled outside of the ifmgd->mtx lock, so just cancel them in mgd_stop logic that tears down the station.

When stations are removed while packets are in the queue, we drain the queues first, and then remove the stations. If this happens in AP mode while the interface is removed the MAC context might be removed from the firmware before we removed the station(s), resulting in a SYSASSERT 3421. This is because we remove the MAC context from the FW in stop_ap(), but only flush the station drain work later in remove_interface(). Refactor the code a bit to have a common MAC context removal preparation first to solve this.

The FH hardware will always write back to the scratch field in commands, even host commands not just TX commands, which can overwrite parts of the command. This is problematic if the command is re-used (with IWL_HCMD_DFL_NOCOPY) and can cause calibration issues. Address this problem by always putting at least the first 16 bytes into the buffer we also use for the command header and therefore make the DMA engine write back into this. For commands that are smaller than 16 bytes also always map enough memory for the DMA engine to write back to.

The wiphy information is getting very close to being too much for a typical netlink dump message and adding the radar attributes to channels and interface combinations can push it over the limit, which means userspace gets no information whatsoever. Therefore, remove these again for now, no driver actually supports radar detection anyway and a modified userspace is required as well. We're working on a solution that will allow userspace to request splitting the information across multiple netlink messages, which will allow us to add this back.
