      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.

      mac80211: fix queue constant confusion · fac371d9
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In commit 31ccc476b77234f6afb3 (mac80211: QoS related cleanups) I
      accidentally changed these to use IEEE80211_MAX_AMPDU_QUEUES twice
      which obviously is wrong, it should be IEEE80211_MAX_QUEUES once.
      Currently harmless as they're both the same value anyway.

      mac80211: proper STA info locking · 07346f81
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      As discussed earlier, we can unify locking in struct sta_info
      and use just a single spinlock protecting all members of the
      structure that need protection. Many don't, but one of the
      especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently
      be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different
      CPUs at the same time.
      
      Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive
      parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills
      the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one
      for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this
      is safe.
      
      It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta
      flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this
      is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be
      very simple using the new static inline functions this patch
      introduces for accessing sta->flags.
      
      Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't
      be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the
      same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which
      is in a bh context.

      mac80211: require four hardware queues for QoS/HT · 3434fbd3
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch makes mac80211 only announce QoS/HT support when
      the underlying hardware has four (or more) queues.

      than opencoding it.
      
      Some minor spacing adjustments as well.
