      mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units · 566bfe5a
      Bruno Randolf 提交于
      trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
      confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
      what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
      the wireless extensions.
      
      this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
      clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
      provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
      
      for signal:
      
        IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
        IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
        IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW
      
      for noise we currently only have dBm:
      
        IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW
      
      if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
      to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
      to make sense of the signal values.
      
      i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
      but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
      doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
      the hardware flags of the driver.

      rt2x00: Ignore set_state(STATE_SLEEP) failure · 9896322a
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      Some hardware never seem to accept the "goto sleep" command, since the legacy
      drivers don't have suspend and resume handlers the entire code for it was
      basically a educated guess (based on the "enable radio" code).
      This patch will only print a warning when the "goto sleep" command fails, and
      just continues as usual. Perhaps that means the device will not reach a sleep
      state and consumes more power then it should, but it is equally possible it
      simply needs some seconds longer to sleep. Anyway, by making the command
      non-fatal it will not block the rest of the suspend procedure.

      rt2x00: Fix in_atomic() usage · 3a643d24
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      rt73usb and rt2500usb used in_atomic to determine
      if a configuration step should be rescheduled or not.
      Since in_atomic() is not a valid method to determine
      if sleeping is allowed we should fix the way this is handled
      by adding a new flag to rt2x00.
      
      In addition mark LED class support for the drivers broken
      since that also uses the broken in_atomic() method but
      so far no solution exists to have LED triggers work only
      in scheduled context.
