My previous change added in: commit 815833e7 ath9k: fix tx status reporting was not checking all possible tx error conditions. This could possibly lead to throughput issues due to slow rate control adaption or missed retransmissions of failed A-MPDU frames. This patch adds a mask for all possible error conditions and uses it in the xmit ok check.

First, we copy/paste the padding stuff from ath9k_tx to ath_tx_cabq since it needs to same kind of padding, but for internally generated beacons. Next, software padding done on TX needs to be removed before calling ieee80211_tx_status. The code was already there in ath_tx_complete but it was wrong. Fix it by using ath9k_cmn_padpos. This later code has been tested by sending packets to a monitor interface and reading packets from the same interface.

This patch fixes a bug in ath9k's tx status check, which caused mac80211 to consider regularly transmitted unicast frames as un-acked. When checking the ts_status field for errors, it needs to be masked with ATH9K_TXERR_FILT, because this field also contains other fields like ATH9K_TX_ACKED. Without this patch, AP mode is pretty much unusable, as hostapd checks the ACK status for the frames that it injects. Signed-off-by: NFelix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

Software padding is done on the TX path and software unpadding is done on the RX path. This patch corrects the position where the padding occurs. A specific function computes the pad position and this function is used in the TX and RX path. This patch has been tested by generating every possible 802.11 frames with every possible frame_control field and a varying length. This patch is useful for analyzing non standard 802.11 frames going over the air Signed-off-by: NBenoit Papillault <benoit.papillault@free.fr> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

When mac80211 was telling us to go into Powersave we listened and immediately turned RX off. This meant hardware would not see the ACKs from the AP we're associated with and hardware we'd end up retransmiting the null data frame in a loop helplessly. Fix this by keeping track of the transmitted nullfunc frames and only when we are sure the AP has sent back an ACK do we go ahead and shut RX off.

ath9k virtual wiphys all share the same internal buffer space for TX but they do not share the mac80211 skb queues. When ath9k detects it is running low on buffer space to TX it tells mac80211 to stop sending it skbs its way but it always does this only for the primary wiphy. This means mac80211 won't know its best to avoid sending ath9k more skbs on a separate virtual wiphy. The same issue is present for reliving the skb queue. Since ath9k does not keep track of which virtual wiphy is hammering on TX silence all wiphy's TX when we're low on buffer space. When we're free on buffer space only bother informing the virtual wiphy which is active that we have free buffers. Cc: Jouni.Malinen <Jouni.Malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: NLuis R.

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: NLuis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

The hardware doesn't generate interrupts in some cases and so work around this by monitoring the TX status periodically and reset the chip if required. This behavior of the hardware not generating the TX interrupts can be noticed through ath9k debugfs interrupt statistics when heavy traffic is being sent from STA to AP. One can easily see this behavior when the STA is transmitting at a higher rates. The interrupt statistics in the debugfs interface clearly shows that only RX interrupts alone being generated and TX being stuck. TX should be monitored through a timer and reset the chip only when frames are queued to the hardware but TX interrupts are not generated for the same even after one second. Also, we shouldn't remove holding descriptor from AC queue if it happens to be the only descriptor and schedule TX aggregation regarless of queue depth as it improves scheduling of AMPDUs from software to hardware queue.

When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it. If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the following two issues. 1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer due to shortage in tx desc. 2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw(). This patch fixes these two issues. kernel BUG at ../drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c:180!

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs: hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is rather confusing, even though the former is used when we beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to an AP. This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily. NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all drivers, some are updated in this patch.
