      ath9k: fix regression which disabled ps on ath9k · 008443de
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      The patch titled "ath9k: Add new file init.c" shuffled some code
around but in dong so for some reason also removed the revision
check for disablign power save. Add this revision check again
so we can get power save re-enabled again by default on cards
newer than AR5416 and AR5418.

      ath9k: fix regression which prevents chip sleep after CAB data · 3fac6dfd
      由 Senthil Balasubramanian 提交于 
      The patch:

commit 293dc5df
Author: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@openwrt.org>
Date:   Fri Jun 19 12:17:48 2009 +0200

    ath9k: remove ath_rx_ps_back_to_sleep helper

    This helper only clears the SC_OP_WAIT_FOR_{BEACON,CAB} flags.
    Remove it and clear these flags directly in the approptiate
    places instead.

introduced a regression which forgot to lift the beacon flag
after we received all broadcast and multicast data. This meant
we never went to sleep consuming about ~650mW on idle. This pretty
much broke power save completely.

This patch has fixes for stable kernels [2.6.32+].

      mac80211: send last 3/5 probe requests as unicast · f01a067d
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      Some buggy APs do not respond to unicast probe requests
or send unicast probe requests very delayed so in the
worst case we should try to send broadcast probe requests,
otherwise we can get disconnected from these APs.

Even if drivers do not have filters to disregard probe
responses from foreign APs mac80211 will only process
probe responses from our associated AP for re-arming
connection monitoring.

We need to do this since the beacon monitor does not
push back the connection monitor by design so even if we
are getting beacons from these type of APs our connection
monitor currently relies heavily on the way the probe
requests are received on the AP. An example of an AP
affected by this is the Nexus One, but this has also been
observed with random APs.

We can probably optimize this later by using null funcs
instead of probe requests.

      mac80211: disable beacon monitor while going offchannel · 3bc3c0d7
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      The beacon monitor should be disabled when going off channel
to prevent spurious warnings and triggering connection
deterioration work such as sending probe requests. Re-enable
the beacon monitor once we come back to the home channel.

      mac80211: reset connection idle when going offchannel · 4730d597
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      When we go offchannel mac80211 currently leaves alive the
connection idle monitor. This should be instead postponed
until we come back to our home channel, otherwise by the
time we get back to the home channel we could be triggering
unecesary probe requests. For APs that do not respond to
unicast probe requests (Nexus One is a simple example) this
means we essentially get disconnected after the probes
fails.

      mac80211: reset probe send counter upon connection timer reset · 0c699c3a
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      Upon beacon loss we send probe requests after 30 seconds of idle
time and we wait for each probe response 1/2 second. We send a
total of 3 probe requests before giving up on the AP. In the case
that we reset the connection idle monitor we should reset the probe
requests count to 0. Right now this won't help in any way but
the next patch will.

      ath9k: fix enabling ANI / tx monitor after bg scan · 48a6a468
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      ath9k's entire logic with SC_OP_SCANNING is incorrect due to the
way mac80211 currently implements the scan complete callback and
we handle it in ath9k. This patch removes the flag completely in
preference for the SC_OP_OFFCHANNEL which is really what we wanted.

The scanning flag was used to ensure we reset ANI to the old values
when we go back to the home channel, but if we are offchannel we
use some defaults. The flag was also used to re-enable the TX monitor.

Without this patch we simply never re-enabled ANI and the TX monitor
after going offchannel. This means that after one background
scan we are prone to noise issues and if we had a TX hang we would
not recover. To get this to work properly we must enable ANI after
we have configured the beacon timers, otherwise hardware acts really
oddly.

This patch has stable fixes which apply down to [2.6.36+], there
*may* be a to fix this on older kernels but requires a bit of
work since this patch relies on the new mac80211 flag
IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which was introduced as of 2.6.36.

      ath9k: fix regression on beacon loss after bgscan · 52b8ac92
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      When we return to the home channel we were never reseting our beacon
timers, this was casued by the fact that the scanning flag was still
on even after we returned to our home channel. There are also other
reasons why we would get a reset and if we are not off channel
we always need to resynch our beacon timers, because a reset will
clear them.

This bug is a regression introduced on 2.6.36. The order of the
changes are as follows:

5ee08656 - Sat Jul 31 - ath9k: prevent calibration during off-channel activity
a0daa0e7 - Tue Jul 27 - Revert "mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing"
543708be - Fri Jun 18 - mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing

mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \
        --contains 5ee08656
v2.6.36-rc1~43^2~34^2~22

mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \
        --contains a0daa0e7
v2.6.36-rc1~571^2~64^2~13

mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \
        --contains 543708be
v2.6.36-rc1~571^2~107^2~187

So 5ee08656 would have worked if a0daa0e7 was not committed but
it was so this means 5ee08656 was broken since it assumed that
when we were in the channel change routine the scan flag would
be lifted. As it turns out the scan flag will be set when we
are already on the home channel.

For more details refer to:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=5715

These issues will need to be considered for our solution on
reshifting the scan complete callback location on mac80211 on
current development kernel work.
