      wl12xx: Avoid redundant TX work · b07d4037
      Ido Yariv authored
      TX might be handled in the threaded IRQ handler, in which case, TX work
      might be scheduled just to discover it has nothing to do.
      
      Save a few context switches by cancelling redundant TX work in case TX
      is about to be handled in the threaded IRQ handler. Also, avoid
      scheduling TX work from wl1271_op_tx if not needed.

      wl12xx: Switch to level trigger interrupts · 2da69b89
      Ido Yariv authored
      The interrupt of the wl12xx is a level interrupt in nature, since the
      interrupt line is not auto-reset. However, since resetting the interrupt
      requires bus transactions, this cannot be done from an interrupt
      context. Thus, requesting a level interrupt would require to disable the
      irq and re-enable it after the HW is acknowledged. Since we now request
      a threaded irq, this can also be done by specifying the IRQF_ONESHOT
      flag.
      
      Triggering on an edge can be problematic in some platforms, if the
      sampling frequency is not sufficient for detecting very frequent
      interrupts. In case an interrupt is missed, the driver will hang as the
      interrupt line will stay high until it is acknowledged by the driver,
      which will never happen.
      
      Fix this by requesting a level triggered interrupt, with the
      IRQF_ONESHOT flag.

      wl12xx: Switch to a threaded interrupt handler · a620865e
      Ido Yariv authored
      To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to
      interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up
      a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more
      efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler.  This
      handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as
      SDIO/SPI transactions.
      
      Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs
      (ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a
      different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O
      responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be
      scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance.
      
      The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was
      changed. For simplicity, always query the FW for more pending
      interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the
      extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables
      registering the IRQ handler with the ONESHOT option.

      wl12xx: Change claiming of the SDIO bus · 393fb560
      Ido Yariv authored
      The SDIO bus is claimed and released for each SDIO transaction. In
      addition to the few CPU cycles it takes to claim and release the bus, it
      may also cause undesired side effects such as the MMC host stopping its
      internal clocks.
      
      Since only the wl12xx_sdio driver drives this SDIO card, it is safe to
      claim the SDIO host once (on power on), and release it only when turning
      the power off.
      
      This patch was inspired by Juuso Oikarinen's (juuso.oikarinen@nokia.com)
      patch "wl12xx: Change claiming of the (SDIO) bus".

      wl12xx: Do end-of-transactions transfers only if needed · 606ea9fa
      Ido Yariv authored
      On newer hardware revisions, there is no need to write the host's
      counter at the end of a RX transaction. The same applies to writing the
      number of packets at the end of a TX transaction.
      
      It is generally a good idea to avoid unnecessary SDIO/SPI transfers.
      Throughput and CPU usage are improved when avoiding these.
      
      Send the host's RX counter and the TX packet count only if needed, based
      on the hardware revision.

      wl12xx: Reorder data handling in irq_work · 8aad2464
      Ido Yariv authored
      The FW has a limited amount of memory for holding frames. In case it
      runs out of memory reserved for RX frames, it'll have no other choice
      but to drop packets received from the AP. Thus, it is important to
      handle RX data interrupts as soon as possible, before handling anything
      else.
      
      In addition, since there are enough TX descriptors to go around, it is
      better to first send TX frames, and only then handle TX completions.
      
      Fix this by changing the order of function calls in wl1271_irq_work.

      wl12xx: Don't rely on runtime PM for toggling power · 11251e7e
      Ido Yariv authored
      Runtime PM might not always be enabled. Even if it is enabled in the
      running kernel, it can still be temporarily disabled, for instance
      during suspend. Runtime PM is opportunistic in nature, and should not be
      relied on for toggling power.
      
      In case the interface is removed and re-added while runtime PM is
      disabled, the FW will fail to boot, as it is mandatory to toggle power
      between boots. For instance, this can happen during suspend in case one
      of the devices fails to suspend before the MMC host suspends, but after
      mac80211 was suspended. The interface will be removed and reactivated
      without toggling the power.
      
      Fix this by calling mmc_power_save_host/mmc_power_restore_host in
      wl1271_sdio_power_on/off functions. It will toggle the power to the chip
      even if runtime PM is disabled. The runtime PM functions should still be
      called to make sure runtime PM does not opportunistically power the chip
      off (e.g. after resuming from system suspend).

      iwlwifi: remove duplicate initialization · c3371d64
      Dan Carpenter authored
      rate_mask is initialized again later so this can be removed.  Btw, if
      rate_control_send_low(sta, priv_sta, txrc) returns false, that means
      that "sta" is non-NULL.  That's why the second initialization of
      rate_mask is a little simpler than the first.

      Bluetooth: Fix BT_L2CAP and BT_SCO in Kconfig · d45dcef7
      Gustavo F. Padovan authored
      If we want something "bool" built-in in something "tristate" it can't
      "depend on" the tristate config option.
      
      Report by DaveM:
      
         I give it 'y' just to make it happen, for both, and afterways no
         matter how many times I rerun "make oldconfig" I keep seeing things
         like this in my build:
      
      scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
      include/config/auto.conf:986:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for BT_SCO
      include/config/auto.conf:3156:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for BT_L2CAP
