Extend nl80211 to report an exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) of the signal value. Since the signal value usually fluctuates between different packets, an average can be more useful than the value of the last packet. This uses the recently added generic EWMA library function.

Remove ath5k's private moving average implementation in favour of the generic library version. Signed-off-by:

Bruno Randolf authored
This adds generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages (EWMA). This implementation makes use of a structure which keeps the EWMA parameters and a scaled up internal representation to reduce rounding errors. The original idea for this implementation came from the rt2x00 driver (rt2x00link.c). I would like to use it in several places in the mac80211 and ath5k code and I hope it can be useful in many other places in the kernel code. Signed-off-by:

The code to handle powersaving stations has a race: when the powersave flag is lifted from a station, we could transmit a packet that is being processed for TX at the same time right away, even if there are other frames queued for it. This would cause frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only under the appropriate lock that blocks TX. Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a station while frames for it are on the HW queue is never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag for this appropriately. Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if the driver unblocks an already unblocked station. Signed-off-by:

In many places we've just hardcoded the AC numbers -- which is a relic from the original mac80211 (d80211). Add constants for them so we know what we're talking about. Signed-off-by:

Some of the new AR9003 cards do not come with an external EEPROM chip anymore. Calibration data on these cards is stored in the OTP ROM on the chip. This patch adds support for reading this data, and also adds support for different EEPROM chip sizes (512 bytes instead of 1K). Signed-off-by:

Since the pointers after the rates in the tx info cannot be used anymore after frames have been queued, this area can be used to store information that was previously stored in the ath_buf. With these changes, we can delay the ath_buf assignment in the aggregation code until aggregates are formed. That will not only make it possible to simplify DMA descriptor setup to do less rewriting of uncached memory, but will also make it easier to move aggregation out of the core of the ath9k tx path.

- remove the BUF_HT flag, and instead check for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU before calling ath_tx_send_ampdu. - remove a few unused variables - calculate frame length before adding the frame padding - merge the misnamed ath_tx_start_dma function into ath_tx_start - remove an unused argument for assign_aggr_tid_seqno Signed-off-by:

rt2800usb chips need to add 1~3 bytes zero padding after each 802.11 header & payload, and at the end need to add 4 bytes zero padding whether doing TX bulk aggregation or not, TXINFO_W0_USB_DMA_TX_PKT_LEN in TXINFO must include 1-3 bytes padding after 802.11 header & payload but do not include 4 bytes end zero padding. In rt2800usb_get_tx_data_len do not consider multiple of the USB packet size case, sometimes this will cause USB DMA problem. Signed-off-by:

CONFIG_RT2800PCI_PCI and CONFIG_RT2800PCI_SOC are strictly not needed as we can check the dependent symbols directly in the rest of Kconfig and the code, so clean up the Kconfig namespace a bit. Signed-off-by:

Enabling of RT30xx devices via Kconfig variables was introduced when these devices weren't properly supported yet. Now that that they are properly supported and functional, we can remove these Kconfig variables for RT30xx devices and simply enable them whenever rt2800pci and/or rt2800usb is enabled.

General clean up of the Kconfig part for RT28XX devices. Also remove the indications of non functional support for rt27xx/rt28xx/rt30xx devices, as this is no longer true. They just work fine. Finally, remove the experimental indications for rt27xx/rt28xx/rt30xx devices as that is no longer true. Keep the experimental indications for rt33xx/rt35xx devices, though. Signed-off-by:

For some hardware the REGISTER_BUSY_COUNT isn't sufficient, increase the REGISTER_BUSY_COUNT to 100 to catch most devices which have more problems with accessing the registers. For normal operating devices nothing would change as they will exit the loop early anyway. Signed-off-by:

Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware. Signed-off-by:

Merge ath_tx_send_normal and ath_tx_send_ht_normal. Move the paprd state initialization and sequence number assignment to reduce the number of redundant checks. This not only simplifies buffer allocation error handling, but also removes a small inconsistency in the buffer HT flag. This flag should only be set if the frame is also a QoS data frame.
