      mac80211: make tx() operation return void · 7bb45683
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The return value of the tx operation is commonly
      misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
      will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
      they must also properly manage the queues (if they
      didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
      
      Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
      value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
      TX handling code in mac80211.
      
      Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
      old "return -1" there was wrong.

      rt2x00: Limit beacon updates in bss_info_changed to USB devices · 1dae8d34
      Helmut Schaa 提交于
      Currently there are two places that trigger a beacon update on PCI
      devices. The bss_info_changed callback and the periodic update
      triggered by the TBTT or PRETBTT interrupt.
      
      Since the next TBTT or PRETBTT interrupt will periodically fetch an
      updated beacon remove the update_beacon call in the bss_info_changed
      callback for PCI devices.
      
      In the worst case it will take one beacon interval longer to fetch
      the new beacon then before. For devices that have a PRETBTT interrupt
      there should be no change at all.

      rt2x00: Refactor beacon code to make use of start- and stop_queue · 69cf36a4
      Helmut Schaa 提交于
      This patch allows to dynamically remove beaconing interfaces without
      shutting beaconing down on all interfaces.
      
      The only place to start and stop beaconing are now the start- and
      stop_queue callbacks. Hence, we can remove some register writes during
      interface bring up (config_intf) and only write the correct sync mode
      to the register there.
      
      When multiple beaconing interfaces are present we should enable
      beaconing as soon as mac80211 enables beaconing on at least one of
      them. The beacon queue gets stopped when the last beaconing
      interface was stopped by mac80211. Therefore, introduce another
      interface counter to keep track ot the number of enabled beaconing
      interfaces and start or stop the beacon queue accordingly.
      
      To allow single interfaces to stop beaconing, add a new driver
      callback clear_beacon to clear a single interface's beacon without
      affecting the other interfaces. Don't overload the clear_entry callback
      for clearing beacons as that would introduce additional overhead
      (check for each TX queue) into the clear_entry callback which is used
      on the drivers TX/RX hotpaths.
      
      Furthermore, the write beacon callback doesn't need to enable beaconing
      anymore but since beaconing should be disabled while a new beacon is
      written or cleared we still disable beacon generation and enable it
      afterwards again in the driver specific callbacks. However, beacon
      related interrupts should not be disabled/enabled here, that's solely
      done from the start- and stop queue callbacks. It would be nice to stop
      the beacon queue just before the beacon update and enable it afterwards
      in rt2x00queue itself instead of the current implementation that relies
      on the driver doing the right thing. However, since start- and
      stop_queue are mutex protected we cannot use them for atomic beacon
      updates.

      mac80211: request TX status where needed · 7351c6bd
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver
      have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to
      request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only
      the injected frames need TX status (the latter for
      hostapd) so move setting this flag.
      
      The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but
      they don't require it.
      
      Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and
      seems to require it being set for all frames, but
      that can be fixed in rt2x00.
      
      This doesn't really change anything for any drivers
      but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may
      opt to not report TX status for frames that don't
      have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

      mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue · 42935eca
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
      to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
      takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
      really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
      the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
      
      We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
      be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
      the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
      to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
      
        * ieee80211_queue_work()
        * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
      
      These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
      suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
      flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
      but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
      work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
      someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
      suspend cycle.
      
      Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
      in the mac80211 stop() callback.

      rt2x00: Fix build error when crypto support is disabled · ad2f34b4
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      When only rt2400pci or rt2500pci is compiled without any of the other
      rt2x00 modules, then CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_CRYPTO will not be enabled.
      
      However rt2x00mac_set_tim() implemented within #ifdef CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_CRYPTO
      statements while the declaration is placed outside the definition. This results in linking
      errors as reporte by Ken.
      
      rt2x00_set_tim() has nothing to do with crypto, and thus should be moved outside
      of the #ifdef statements.
