Currently we allocate some memory for each RX aggregation session and additionally keep a flag indicating whether or not it is valid. By using RCU to protect the pointer and making sure that the memory is fully set up before it becomes visible to the RX path, we can remove the need for the bool that indicates validity, as well as for locking on the RX path since it is always synchronised against itself, and we can guarantee that all other modifications are done when the structure is not visible to the RX path. The net result is that since we remove locking requirements from the RX path, we can in the future use any kind of lock for the setup and teardown code paths.

This moves the aggregation callback processing to the per-sdata skb queue and a work function rather than the tasklet. Unfortunately, this means that it extends the pkt_type hack to that skb queue. However, it will enable making ampdu_action API changes gradually, my current plan is to get rid of this again by forcing drivers to only return from ampdu_action() when everything is done, thus removing the callbacks completely.

There's a corner case where we receive a fragmented frame during a blockack session, in which case we will terminate that session. To simplify future work in this area that will culminate in allowing the driver callbacks for aggregation to sleep, move the processing of this case out of the RX path into the interface work. This will simplify future work because the new place for this code doesn't require that the function will always be atomic, which the RX path needs.

Some code is duplicated between ibss, mesh and managed mode regarding the queueing of management frames. Since all modes now use a common skb queue and a common work function, we can pull the queueing code into the rx handler directly and remove the duplicated length checks etc. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

A number of places use RCU locking for accessing the station list, even though they do not need to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that. While doing so, combine places where we loop over stations twice, and optimise away some of the loops by checking if the hardware supports aggregation at all first. Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right now we could resume, set up an aggregation session, and right after tear it down again due to the code that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here. Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as a workaround. Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling loop when an interface is stopped, directly after that we remove all stations from it which will also disable all aggregation sessions that may still be active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the current loop that doesn't block new sessions.

Reading the ELP_CTRL register with sdio_readb causes problems because hardware seems to be performing a write using stuff bits in the request (those bits contain write data in write request). This indicates that it actually expects RAW (read after write) type of request, so perform that when reading ELP_CTRL instead. Also cache last written value so we know what to write when doing RAW request. Because of the above it was not possible to wake the chip from ELP power saving mode, PM had to be disabled to have the driver usable in SDIO mode. After this patch PM is functional. For backporting to 2.6.34 or earlier, this patch depends on 6c1f716e, which adds the required SDIO funcion.

There's a window for ieee80211_ifa_changed() to get called whilst the managed mode mutex has not been initialized when opening and stopping the interface. Currently this causes a kernel BUG like the following: [ 132.460013] kernel BUG at /home/wifi/iwlwifi-2.6/net/mac80211/main.c:380! [ 132.460013] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP The mutex is initialized during open(), hence once netif_running() is true, the mutex should be valid. Fix by adding a netif_running() check to the function.

Collect all pieces concering the antenna switch table into one function. Previously it was split up between ath5k_hw_reset() and ath5k_hw_commit_eeprom_settings(). Also we need to set the antenna switch table when ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode() is called manually (by "iw phy0 antenna set", for example). I'm not sure if we need to set the switchtable at the same place in ath5k_hw_reset() as it was before - it is set later thru ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode() anyways - but i leave it there to avoid problems(?). Plus print switchtable registers in the debugfs file. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Fairly complex code in iwlagn_tx_status_reply_tx handle the status reports for aggregated packet batches sent by the NIC. This code aims to handle the case where the NIC retransmits failed packets from a previous batch; the status information for these packets can sometimes be inserted in the middle of a batch and are actually not in order by sequence number! (I verified this can happen with printk's in the function.) The code in question adaptively identifies the "first" frame of the batch, taking into account that it may not be the one corresponding to the first agg status report, and also handles the case when the set of sent packets wraps the 256-character entry buffer. It generates the agg->bitmap field of sent packets which is later compared to the BlockAck response from the receiver to see which frames of those sent in this batch were ACKed. A small logic error (wrapping by 0xff==255 instead of 0x100==256) was causing the agg->bitmap to be set incorrectly. Fix this wrapping code, and add extensive comments to clarify what is going on.

Compressed BlockAck frames store the ACKs/NACKs in a 64-bit bitmap that starts at the sequence number of the first frame sent in the aggregated batch. Note that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission; e.g., if frames 1,4-5 in a batch are ACKed then the next transmission will include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame is seq 2). The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets, maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as well as driver and uCode. Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed. In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g., http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1968 http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2098 http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2018Signed-off-by: Daniel Halperin <dhalperi@cs.washington.edu> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>
