This patch adds the feature to support the test mode operation through the generic netlink channel NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE between intel wireless device iwlwifi and the user space application svtool. The main purpose is to create a transportation layer between the iwlwifi device and the user space application so that the interaction between the user space application svtool and the iwlwifi device in the kernel space is in a way of generic netlink messaging. The detail specific functions are: 1. The function iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to digest the svtool test command from the user space application. The svtool test commands are categorized to three types : commands to be processed by the device ucode, commands to access the registers, and commands to be processed at the driver level(such as reload the ucode). iwl_testmode_cmd() dispatches the commands the corresponding handlers and reply to user space regarding the command execution status. Extra data is returned to the user space application if there's any. 2. The function iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is added to multicast all the spontaneous messages from the iwlwifi device to the user space. Regardless the message types, whenever there is a valid spontaneous message received by the iwlwifi ISR, iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is invoked to multicast the message content to user space. The message content is not attacked and the message parsing is left to the user space application. Implementation guidelines: 1. The generic netlink messaging for iwliwif test mode is through NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE channel, therefore, the codes need to follow the regulations set by cfg80211.ko to get the actual device instance ieee80211_ops via cfg80211.ko, so that the iwlwifi device is indicated with ieee80211_ops and can be actually accessed. Therefore, a callback iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to the structure iwlagn_hw_ops in iwl-agn.c. 2. It intends to utilize those low level device access APIs from iwlwifi device driver (ie. iwlagn.ko) rather than creating it's own set of device access functions. For example, iwl_send_cmd(), iwl_read32(), iwl_write8(), and iwl_write32() are reused. 3. The main functions are maintained in new files instead of spreading all over the existing iwlwifi driver files. The new files added are : drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sv-open.c - to handle the user space test mode application command and reply the respective command status to the user space application. - to multicast the spontaneous messages from device to user space. drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-testmode.h - the commonly referenced definitions for the TLVs used in the generic netlink messages Signed-off-by: Cindy H.

Since firmware is capable of generating IV's for all crypto suits (TKIP, CCMP and WEP), do not ask mac80211 to generate IV when HW crypto is being used. Instead only reserve appropriate space in tx skb's in the driver, so that the firmware can write IV's values. Signed-off-by: Yogesh Ashok Powar <yogeshp@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

With AR9003 at about ~ 10 feet from an AP that uses RTS / CTS you will be able to associate but not not get data through given that the power for the rates used was set too low. This increases the power and permits data connectivity at longer distances from access points when connected with HT40. Without this you will not get any data through when associated to APs configured in HT40 at about more than 10 feet away.

Patch: rt2x00: Make rt2x00_queue_entry_for_each more flexible commit: 10e11568 introduced a severe regression on the throughput for USB hardware. It turns out that the exiting of the rt2x00queue_for_each_entry() was done too early. The exact cause for this regression is unknown, but by disabling the premature exiting of the loop seems to resolve the issue.

At present the noise floor calibration is processed in supported control and extension chains rather than required chains. Unnccesarily doing nfcal in all supported chains leads to invalid nf readings on extn chains and these invalid values got updated into history buffer. While loading those values from history buffer is moving the chip to deaf state. This issue was observed in AR9002/AR9003 chips while doing associate/dissociate in HT40 mode and interface up/down in iterative manner. After some iterations, the chip was moved to deaf state. Somehow the pci devices are recovered by poll work after chip reset. Raading the nf values in all supported extension chains when the hw is not yet configured in HT40 mode results invalid values.

Currently, the driver only disable multicast filtering when the FIF_ALLMULTI driver flag has been just set (ie, if changed_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI and *new_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI) or else it will reenable multicast filtering. But next time, this condition will be false and multicast filtering will be reenabled, even through FIF_ALLMULTI is still set. This mean that allmulticast only works for less than two minutes in ad-hoc mode. This patch fixes that to disable multicast filtering as long as FIF_ALLMULTI is set.

Commit dbd2fd65 added a mechanism for user space to indicate whether a default key is being configured for only unicast or only multicast frames instead of all frames. This commit added a driver capability flag for indicating whether separate default keys are supported and validation of the set_key command based on that capability. However, this single capability flag is not enough to cover possible difference based on mode (AP/IBSS/STA) and the way this change was introduced resulted in a regression with drivers that do not indicate the new capability (i.e.., more or less any non-mac80211 driver using cfg80211) when using a recent wpa_supplicant snapshot. Fix the regression by removing the new check which is not strictly speaking needed. The new separate default key functionality is needed only for RSN IBSS which has a separate capability indication.

When scan and assoc (infra/ibss) commands are simultaneously given in two terminals, association response is erroneously served while serving the scan response. mwifiex_cfg80211_results() is the common routine for sending ioctl (scan, assoc etc.) results to cfg80211 stack. In above scenario even if the common routine is called for scan ioctl context, it also tries to send information about assoc ioctl to cfg80211 because "priv->assoc_request/priv->ibss_join_request" flag is on at that time. Fix the issue by updating request variable after assoc handling and modifying the variable check in mwifiex_cfg80211_results.

Whenever the driver's queue depth reaches the max, the queues are stopped by the driver till the driver can accept the frames. At the mean time dynamic_ps_timer can be expired due to not receiving packet from upper layer which could restart the transmission at the end of ps work. Due to the mismatch with driver state, mac80211 is unneccesarity buffering all the frames till the driver wakes up the queue. Check whether there is no transmit or the tx queues were stopped by some reasons. If any of the queue was stopped, the postpond ps timer and do not restart netif_tx.

As described at http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=130428493104730&w=2 libertas frequently generates spurious tx timeouts, because the tx queue is brought down for extended periods during scanning. The net layer takes a look and incorrectly assumes the queue has been down for several seconds, and generates a tx_timeout. One way to fix this is to bump the trans_start counter while scanning so that the network layer knows that the device is still alive, but I think the tx_timeout handler is implemented wrongly here and not of any real use, so I vote to remove it. As explained at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130430311115755&w=2 the watchdog is primarily meant to deal with lockup on the hardware TX path (detected by the tx queue being stopped for an extended period of time), but this is unlikely to happen with libertas. In this case, the tx queue is stopped only while waiting for lbs_thread to send the queued frame to the driver, and lbs_thread wakes up the queue immediately after, even if the frame could not be sent correctly. So, the only hardware-related possibility that this catches is if hw_host_to_card hangs - this is something I have never seen. And if it were to happen, nothing done by lbs_tx_timeout would actually wake up lbs_thread any quicker than otherwise. Removing this oddly-behaving spuriously-firing tx_timeout handler should fix an occasional kernel crash during resume (http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10748) Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org> Acked-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

netif_tx_start_all_queues is used to allow the upper layer to transmit frames but it does not restart transmission. To restart the trasmission use netif_tx_wake_all_queues. Not doing so, sometimes stalls the transmission and the application has to be restarted to proceed further. This issue was originally found while sending udp traffic in higer bandwidth in open environment without bgscan.
