This patch fixes mac80211 to not use the skb->cb over the queue step from virtual interfaces to the master. The patch also, for now, disables aggregation because that would still require requeuing, will fix that in a separate patch. There are two other places (software requeue and powersaving stations) where requeue can happen, but that is not currently used by any drivers/not possible to use respectively.

Wireless statistics produced by the RTL8187B driver are not particularly informative about the strength of the received signal. From the data sheet provided by Realtek, I discovered that certain parts of the RX header should have the information necessary to calculate signal quality and strength. With testing, it became clear that most of these quantities were very jittery - only the AGC correlated with the signals expected from nearby AP's. As a result, the quality and strength are derived from the agc value. The scaling has been determined so that the numbers are close to those obtained by b43 under the same conditions. The results are qualitatively correct. Statistics derived for the RTL8187 have not been changed. The RX header variables have been renamed to match the quantites described in the Realtek data sheet.

"mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers" broke rtl8187. This patch makes the same kind of fix that was done for rt2x00. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed in the hardware state, not the vif state. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

In net/mac80211/tx.c, there are some #ifdef which checks MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG (which in fact is never set) instead of CONFIG_MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG, as should be. This patch replaces MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG with CONFIG_MAC80211_VERBOSE_PS_DEBUG in these #ifdef commands in net/mac80211/tx.c.

When the queues are being initialized the entry flags fields must be reset to 0. When this does not happen some entries might still be marked as "occupied" after an ifdown & ifup cycle which would trigger errors when the entry is being accessed: phy0 -> rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0. Please file bug report to http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com. This also fixes the mac80211 warning: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at net/mac80211/tx.c:1238 ieee80211_master_start_xmit+0x30a/0x350 [mac80211]() which was triggered by the queue error.

rt2x00 will only perform configuration changes from mac80211 when the configuration option has changed. This means it keeps track of the current active configuration and will check these values when the config() callback function is used. However this causes breakage when the interface has been brought down and up again, since all stored active values aren't reset while the registers might have. This is for example the case with rt61pci antenna registers which will jump to invalid values when the interface has been started. To make sure a full configuration takes place after the start() callback function, a new flag is added which will be checked during config() and skips the "what's changed" phase.

When IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ is not set, the driver should disable hardware sequence counting to make sure the mac80211 provided counter is used. This fixes QOS sequence counting, since that is one of the cases where mac80211 provides a seperate sequence counter. By moving the sequence counting code to rt2x00queue we make sure that _all_ frames get the sequence counter, including RTS/CTS and Beacon frames.

When setting up a beacon template, the length of the beacon is calculated with the assumption that the SKB already contains the Tx descriptor. In the case of beacons it doesn't. This patch undoes the damage by adding the Tx descriptor length to the beacon length. This is safe, because the shortest possible beacon is longer than the Tx header.

Olivier reported a difference between the EIFS values used in the legacy driver and the one in the rt2x00 drivers. In rt2x00 the value was ( SIFS + (8 * (IEEE80211_HEADER + ACK_SIZE)) ) which comes down to 314us while the legacy driver uses the value 364us This was caused because EIFS is: SIFS + DIFS + AckTime This patch will fix this by adding the DIFS by the above value, and creating a SHORT_EIFS define which uses the SHORT_DIFS.

There are two mutexes in rfkill: rfkill->mutex, which protects some of the fields of a rfkill struct, and is also used for callback serialization. rfkill_mutex, which protects the global state, the list of registered rfkill structs and rfkill->claim. Make sure to use the correct mutex, and to not miss locking rfkill->mutex even when we already took rfkill_mutex.

rfkill needs to unregister the led trigger AFTER a call to rfkill_remove_switch(), otherwise it will not update the LED state, possibly leaving it ON when it should be OFF. To make led-trigger unregistering safer, guard against unregistering a trigger twice, and also against issuing trigger events to a led trigger that was unregistered. This makes the error unwind paths more resilient. Refer to "rfkill: Register LED triggers before registering switch".

Make sure that the irq is not in progress after stop. This means two things: - ensure the intr setting register is set by flushing posted values - call synchronize_irq() after that Also flush stop tx write, inform callers of the tx stop about still pending transfers (unsuccessful stop) and finally don't wait another 3ms in ath5k_rx_stop, since ath5k_hw_stop_rx_dma ensures transfer to be finished.

When signal is noisy, hardware can use all RX buffers and since the last entry in the list is self-linked, it overwrites the entry until we link new buffers. Ensure that we don't free this last one until we are 100% sure that it is not used by the hardware anymore to not cause memory curruption as can be seen below. This is done by checking next buffer in the list. Even after that we know that the hardware refetched the new link and proceeded further (the next buffer is ready) we can finally free the overwritten buffer. We discard it since the status in its descriptor is overwritten (OR-ed by new status) too. ============================================================================= BUG kmalloc-4096: Poison overwritten ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: 0xffff810067419060-0xffff810067419667.
