      b43: Fix throughput regression · b6c3f5be
      Larry Finger 提交于
      Commit c7ab5ef9 entitled "b43: implement
      short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for
      my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling
      portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling.
      
      Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never
      called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the
      value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain
      the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value
      of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value
      in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased
      performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic
      improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s.
      
      Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the
      MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating
      in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs.

      mac80211: remove RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP · 0869aea0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      While there may be a case for a driver adding its
      own bits of radiotap information, none currently
      does. Also, drivers would have to copy the code
      to generate the radiotap bits that now mac80211
      generates. If some driver in the future needs to
      add some driver-specific information I'd expect
      that to be in a radiotap vendor namespace and we
      can add a different way of passing such data up
      and having mac80211 include it.
      
      Additionally, rename IEEE80211_CONF_RADIOTAP to
      IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR since it's still used by
      b43(legacy) to obtain per-frame timestamps.
      
      The purpose of this patch is to simplify the RX
      code in mac80211 to make it easier to add paged
      skb support.
