      ath9k_htc: Fix beaconing in IBSS mode · 9c6dda4e
      Sujith 提交于
      The current way of managing beaconing in ad-hoc
      mode has a subtle race - the beacon obtained from mac80211
      is freed in the SWBA handler rather than the TX
      completion routine. But transmission of beacons goes
      through the normal SKB queue maintained in hif_usb,
      leading to a situation where __skb_dequeue() in the TX
      completion handler goes kaput.
      
      Fix this by simply getting a beacon from mac80211 for
      every SWBA and free it in its completion routine.

      ath9k: fix another source of corrupt frames · 3ef83d74
      Felix Fietkau 提交于
      Atheros hardware supports receiving frames that span multiple
      descriptors and buffers. In this case, the rx status of every
      descriptor except for the last one is invalid and may contain random
      data. Because the driver does not support this, it needs to drop such
      frames.

      ar9170usb: remove deprecated aggregation code · f3926b49
      Christian Lamparter 提交于
      This patch removes the incomplete AMPDU implementation in ar9170usb.
      
      The code in question is:
       * too big and complex (more than 550 SLOC.)
         This is enough to qualify for a new separate code file!
      
       * unbalanced quantity & quality
      	over-engineered areas like:
      		* xmit scheduling and queuing frames for multiple HT peers
      		* redundant frame sorting
      	are confronted by gaping holes:
      		* accurate transmission feedback
      		* firmware error-handling and device reset
      		* HT rate control algorithm
      
       * error-prone
      	Since its inclusion, hardly anything was done to fix
      	any of the outlined flaws from the initial commit message.
      
         => This also indicates poor maintainability.
      
       * relies heavily on several spinlocks.
      
      As a result of this shortcomings, the code is slow and does not
      even support the most basic 11n requirement: HT station mode.
      
      Therefore, I request to purge my heap of **** from the kernel:
      "ar9170: implement transmit aggregation".
      
      The next item on the agenda is: (re-)start from scratch with
      an adequate design to accommodate the special requirements
      and features of the available frameworks and tools.
