      rt2x00: Decrease association time for USB devices · 152a5992
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      When powersaving is enabled, assocaition times are very high
      (for WPA2 networks, the time can easily be around the 3 seconds).
      
      This is caused, because the flushing of the queues takes
      too much time. Without the flushing callback mac80211 assumes
      a timeout of 100ms while scanning. Limit all flush waiting
      loops to the same maximum.
      
      We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the
      driver, which makes sure the driver performs extra actions
      during the waiting for the queue to become empty.
      
      After these changes, association times fall within the
      healthy range of ~0.6 seconds with powersaving enabled.
      The difference between association time between powersaving
      enabled and disabled is now only ~0.1 second (which can also
      be due to the measuring method).

      rt2800usb: add timer to handle TX_STA_FIFO · f0187a19
      Johannes Stezenbach 提交于
      TX status is reported by the hardware when a packet has been
      sent (or after TX failed after possible retries), which is some
      time after the DMA completion.  Since the rt2800usb hardware can
      not signal interrupts we have to use a timer, otherwise the
      TX status would only be read by the next packet's TX DMA
      completion, or by the watchdog thread.

      rt2800usb: read TX_STA_FIFO asynchronously · 0e0d39e5
      Johannes Stezenbach 提交于
      Trying to fix the "TX status report missed" warnings
      by reading the TX_STA_FIFO entries as quickly as possible.
      The TX_STA_FIFO is too small in hardware, thus reading
      it only from the workqueue is too slow and entries get lost.
      
      Start an asynchronous read of the TX_STA_FIFO directly from
      the TX URB completion callback (atomic context, thus it cannot
      use the blocking rt2800_register_read()). If the async
      read returns a valid FIFO entry, it is pushed into a larger
      FIFO inside struct rt2x00_dev, until rt2800_txdone() picks
      it up.
      
      A .tx_dma_done callback is added to struct rt2x00lib_ops
      to trigger the async read from the URB completion callback.

      rt2x00: Split rt2x00dev->flags · 7dab73b3
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      The number of flags defined for the rt2x00dev->flags field,
      has been growing over the years. Currently we are approaching
      the maximum number of bits which are available in the field.
      
      A secondary problem, is that one part of the field are initialized only
      during boot, because the driver requirements are initialized or device
      requirements are loaded from the EEPROM. In both cases, the flags are
      fixed and will not change during device operation. The other flags are
      the device state, and will change frequently. So far this resulted in the fact
      that for some flags, the atomic bit accessors are used, while for the others
      the non-atomic variants are used.
      
      By splitting the flags up into a "flags" and "cap_flags" we can put all flags
      which are fixed inside "cap_flags". This field can then be read non-atomically.
      In the "flags" field we keep the device state, which is going to be read atomically.
      
      This adds more room for more flags in the future, and sanitizes the field access methods.

      mac80211: make tx() operation return void · 7bb45683
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The return value of the tx operation is commonly
      misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
      will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
      they must also properly manage the queues (if they
      didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
      
      Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
      value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
      TX handling code in mac80211.
      
      Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
      old "return -1" there was wrong.

      Update the HT operation mode when mac80211 sends it to us and set
      the different HT protection modes and rates accordingly. For now
      only use CTS-to-self with OFDM 24M or CCK 11M when protection is
      required.

      rt2x00: rework tx status handling in rt2800pci · 96c3da7d
      Helmut Schaa 提交于
      This patch changes the way tx status reports are handled by rt2800pci.
      Previously rt2800pci would sometimes lose tx status reports as the
      TX_STA_FIFO register is a fifo of 16 entries that can overflow in case
      we don't read it often/fast enough. Since interrupts are disabled in the
      device during the execution of the interrupt thread it happend sometimes
      under high network and CPU load that processing took too long and a few
      tx status reports were dropped by the hw.
      
      To fix this issue the TX_STA_FIFO register is read directly in the
      interrupt handler and stored in a kfifo which is large enough to hold
      all status reports of all used tx queues.
      
      To process the status reports a new tasklet txstatus_tasklet is used.
      Using the already used interrupt thread is not possible since we don't
      want to disable the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt while processing them and
      it is not possible to schedule the interrupt thread multiple times for
      execution. A tasklet instead can be scheduled multiple times which
      allows to leave the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt enabled while a previously
      scheduled tasklet is still executing.
      
      In short: All other interrupts are handled in the interrupt thread as
      before. Only the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt is partly handled in the
      interrupt handler and finished in the according tasklet.
      
      One drawback of this patch is that it duplicates some code from
      rt2800lib. However, that can be cleaned up in the future once the
      rt2800usb and rt2800pci tx status handling converge more.
      
      Using this patch on a Ralink RT3052 embedded board gives me a reliable
      wireless connection even under high CPU and network load. I've
      transferred several gigabytes without any queue lockups.
