      iwlwifi: load firmware asynchronously before mac80211 registration · b08dfd04
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      At the wireless summit in Portland we discussed a way of
      loading firmware asynchronously from ->probe() before
      registration to mac80211, in order to register with the
      wireless subsystems with complete information in cases
      where firmware is required to know parameters.
      
      This is not yet the case in iwlwifi, but for some new
      features we're working on it will be the case since
      those will only be supported by new firmware images.
      
      Hence, to start with, convert iwlwifi to load firmware
      asynchronously from probe, unbinding the device when
      firmware loading fails, and only registering with the
      wireless subsystems after firmware has been loaded
      successfully.
      
      Future patches will hook into this to register the
      new firmware capabilities, depending on the firmware
      API version.

      Revert "iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure" · ab9bdc34
      Reinette Chatre 提交于
      This reverts commit 1db5950f.
      
      The goal of "iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure"
      is to first detect when data transmission stalls and then to recover from
      this situation with a reset of the radio or the firmware, depending on how
      bad the transmission failures are.
      
      Unfortunately we have found that this change causes excessive resets with
      its current detection algorithm. It also performs its recovery action when
      none is really needed, like when we are not associated.
      
      Revert this change until the issues have been addressed.

      iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure · 1db5950f
      Trieu 'Andrew' Nguyen 提交于
      This change monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
      When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the expected_
      ack_count also drops.  At the same time, the aggregated ba_timeout (the number
      of ba timeout retries) also rises.  If the actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count
      ratio is 0 and the number of ba timeout retries rises to 16, no tx packets
      (tcp, udp, or ping - icmp) can be delivered.  The driver recovers from this
      situation by reseting the uCode firmware.  If the actual_ack_count/expected_
      ack_count ratio drops below 50% (but not 0) and the aggregated ba_timeout
      retries just exceed 5 (but not 16), then the driver can reset the radio to
      bring the throughput up.

      iwlwifi: reset card during probe · 4843b5a7
      Reinette Chatre 提交于
      To ensure that card is in a sane state during probe we add a reset call.
      This change was prompted by users of kdump who was not able to bring up the
      wireless driver in the kdump kernel. The problem here was that the primary
      kernel, which is not running at the time, left the wireless card up and
      running. When the kdump kernel starts it is thus possible to immediately
      receive interrupts from firmware after registering interrupt, but without
      being ready to deal with interrupts from firmware yet.
