The iwlwifi drivers have LED blinking requirements that mac80211 cannot fulfill due to the use of just a single LED instead of different ones for TX, RX, radio etc. Instead, the single LED blinks according to transfers and is solid on the rest of the time. As such, having LED class devices registered that mac80211 triggers are connected to is pointless as we don't use the triggers anyway. Remove all the useless code and add hooks into the driver itself. At the same time, make the LED code abstracted so the core code that determines blink rate etc. can be shared between 3945 and agn in iwlcore. At the same time, the fact that we removed the use of the mac80211 LED triggers means we can also remove the IWLWIFI_LEDS Kconfig symbol since the LED support is now self-contained.

In order to have an easier way to debug issues, create trace events (using the ftrace framework) that will allow us to follow exactly what the driver is doing with the device. The text format isn't all that useful, but the binary format can also be obtained easily via debugfs and then analysed on the fly or offline with debugging tools.

Multiple MPDUs can be aggregated, transmitted, and finally acknowledged together using a single BA frame. Block ACK (BA) contains bitmap size of 64*16 bits so the maximum frame count is 64. The default value of aggregation frame count suggested by uCode is 31 to achieve best performance.

When uCode detects critical temperature it should send "card state notification" interrupt to driver and then shut itself down to prevent overheating. There is a race condition where uCode shuts down before it can deliver the interrupt to driver. Additional method provided here for driver to enter CT_KILL state based on temperature reading. How it works: Method 1: If driver receive "card state notification" interrupt from uCode; it enters "CT_KILL" state immediately Method 2: If the last temperature report by Card reach Critical temperature, driver will send "statistic notification" request to uCode to verify the temperature reading, if driver can not get reply from uCode within 300ms, driver will enter CT_KILL state automatically. Method 3: If the last temperature report by Card did not reach Critical temperature, but uCode already shut down due to critical temperature. All the host commands send to uCode will not get process by uCode; when command queue reach the limit, driver will check the last reported temperature reading, if it is within pre-defined margin, enter "CT_KILL" state immediately. In this case, when uCode ready to exit from "CT_KILL" state, driver need to restart the adapter in order to reset all the queues and resume normal operation. One additional issue being address here, when system is in CT_KILL state, both tx and rx already stopped, but driver still can send host command to uCode, it will flood the command queue since card was not responding; adding STATUS_CT_KILL flag to reject enqueue host commands to uCode if it is in CT_KILL state, when uCode is ready to come out of CT_KILL, driver will clear the STATUS_CT_KILL bit and allow enqueue the host commands to uCode to recover from CT_KILL state.

Add timer based auto deep sleep feature in libertas driver which can be configured using iwconfig command. This is tested on SD8688, SD8686 cards with firmware versions 10.38.1.p25, 9.70.4.p0 respectively on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. Tests have been done for USB/CS cards to make sure that the patch won't break USB/CS code. We didn't test the if_spi driver.

Refactor wext to * split out iwpriv handling * split out iwspy handling * split out procfs support * allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT After this, drivers need to - select WIRELESS_EXT - for wext support - select WEXT_PRIV - for iwpriv support - select WEXT_SPY - for iwspy support except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT. Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core (i.e. WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT).

hw code for Atheros 802.11n hardware is commmon between different chipsets. This moves this code into a separate module, the next expected user of this code will be the ath9k_htc module. The ath9k/ dir is now selected by ATH9K_HW, an option which gets selected by either ath9k or ath9k_htc, but remains invisible for user menuconfig configuration. If either ath9k or ath9k_htc will be compiled into the kernel ath9k_hw will also be compiled in. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

If the current channel is between 2412 and 2472 MHz and if the channel is changing to 2484 MHz, then the registers 0xa1f4, 0xa1f8 and 0xa1fc need to be programmed to the "japan_2484" values. Conversely, if the current channel is 2484 MHz and if the channel is changing to one between 2412 and 2472 MHz, then the three registers need to be programmed to the "normal" values.

Using powersave while idle saves a lot of power, but we've had problems with this on some cards (5150 has been reported to be problematic). However, on the new 6000 series we're seeing no problems, so for now let that hardware benefit from idle mode, we can look at the problems with other hardware one by one and then enable those once we figure out the problems.

When instructing the microcode to use just a single chain when we have power saving enabled, we should also tell the AP that we are doing SM powersave. However, using a single chain doesn't actually have any power saving advantage while idle -- measurements show that the power consumption is no different when using one vs. two or three chains. Therefore, always instruct the microcode to use all chains. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Today's implementation allow LED to blink based on the traffic condition. We introduce an additional LED mode that reflects the RF state. The supported LED modes after this are: IWL_LED_BLINK (current/default) - blink rate based on current Tx/Rx traffic IWL_LED_RF_STATE (new) - LED OFF: No power/RF disabled, the LED is emitting no light LED ON: Powered/RF enabled, the LED is emitting light in a stable non-flashing state. In order to provide the flexibility to support different LED behavior per user/system preference we add "led_mode" iwlcore module parameter.

Daniel C Halperin authored
Current rate scale algorithm fluctuates between different MIMO modes fairly rapidly, causing widely varying performance. These fluctuations occur because in the rate_scale tables for expected throughput the values are not very different for different modes. However, when aggregation is turned on and MAC overhead is reduced, the expected throughput for different MIMO modes grows and different modes have vastly different performance. Add expected throughput tables for this case. We also need to keep track of aggregation status per-station, so we add the "is_agg" field to struct lq_sta. Also includes cleanup of comments and variable names in/around the affected code.
