      rt2x00: Don't kick TX queue after each frame · b869767b
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      TX queues shouldn't be kicked after each frame that is put into the
      queue.  This could cause problems during RTS and CTS-to-self as well
      as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be
      send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill
      up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached,
      will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame.
      
      In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way
      that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when
      it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

      rt2x00usb_kick_tx_queue() will loop over all entries
      within the INDEX_DONE->INDEX range and kick each entry
      which is pending to be kicked. This makes the kick_tx_queue
      approach work the same as with the PCI drivers which
      will allow for more code generalisation into rt2x00lib.

      This patch updates mac80211 and drivers to be multi-queue aware and
      use that instead of the internal queue mapping. Also does a number
      of cleanups in various pieces of the code that fall out and reduces

      mac80211: move TX info into skb->cb · e039fa4a

      This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
      information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
      memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
      a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
      is kept outside of the union.

      rt2x00: Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() · 7050ec82
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() up into a TX descriptor initializor
      and TX descriptor writer.
      
      This split is required to properly allow mac80211 to move its
      tx_control structure into the skb->cb array.
      The rt2x00queue_create_tx_descriptor() function will read all tx control
      information and convert it into a rt2x00 TX descriptor information structure.
      After that function is complete, we have all information we needed from the
      tx control structure and are free to start writing into the skb->cb array
      for our own purposes.
      rt2x00queue_write_tx_descriptor() will be in charge of really sending
      the TX descriptor to the hardware and kicking the TX queue.

      rt2x00: Fix queue related oops in case of deselected mac80211 multi-queue feature. · 61448f88
      Gertjan van Wingerde 提交于
      With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
      mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
      structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.
      
      The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
      queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
      and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.
      
      Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
      supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
      inside a mac80211 structure.

      rt2x00: Fix TX status reporting · fb55f4d1
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      The tx_status enumeration was broken since the introduction
      of rt61pci. That driver uses different values to report the
      status of the tx action.
      This would lead to frames that were reported as success but
      actually failed to be send out, or frames that were neither
      successfull or failure which were reported as failure.
      
      Fix this by change the TX status reporting and more explicitely
      check for failure or success. Note that a third possibility is
      added "unknown". Not all hardware (USB) can report the actual
      TX status, for rt61pci some frames will receive this status
      because the TXdone handler is never called for those frames.
      This unknown will now be handled as neither success or failure,
      so we no longer increment the failure counter while this conclusion
      could not be determined from the real status of the frame.

      rt2x00: trim skb_frame_desc to 32 bytes · 5a6e5999
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      Remove frame_type from skb_frame_desc and pass it
      as argument to rt2x00debug_dump_frame().
      
      Change data_len and desc_len to unsigned short
      to save another 4 bytes in skb_frame_desc. Note that
      this was the only location where the data_len and
      desc_len was not yet treated as unsigned short.
      
      This trim is required to help mac80211 with adding
      the TX control and TX status informtation into the
      skb->cb structure. When that happens, drivers will
      have approximately 40 bytes left to use freely.

      rt2x00: Fix rt2400pci signal · 89993890
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      After sampling hundreds of RX frame descriptors,
      the results were conclusive:
      - The Ralink documentation regarding the SIGNAL and RSSI are wrong.
      
      It turns out that of the 5 BBR registers, we should not use BBR0 and BBR1
      for SIGNAL and RSSI respectively, but actually BBR1 and BBR2.
      BBR0 does show values, but the exact meaning remains unclear,
      but they cannot be translated into a SIGNAL or RSSI field.
      BBR3, BBR4 and BBR5 are always 0, so their meaning is unknown.
      
      As it turns out, the reported SIGNAL is the PLCP value, this
      in contradiction to what was expected looking at rt2500pci which
      only reported the PLCP values for OFDM rates and bitrate values
      for CCK rates.
      
      This means we should let the driver raise the flag about the contents
      of the SIGNAL field so rt2x00lib can always do the right thing based
      on what the driver reports.

      rt2x00: Add per-interface structure · 6bb40dd1
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
      and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
      way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.
      
      Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
      the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
      reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
      SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.
      
      Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
      interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
      rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
      rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
      rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
      rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
      rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
      
      At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
      simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
      will be very unlikely.
      
      Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
      with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
      mode interfaces are currently active.
      
      The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
      often called together since they all belong to the interface
      configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
      the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
      up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
      the configuration handler as well.

      rt2x00: Queue handling overhaul · 181d6902
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
      renames "ring" to "queues".
      
      Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
      use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.
      
      Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
      to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
      system of the queue.
      
      Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
      this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
      code readability.
      
      rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
      send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
      structure.
      
      rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
      since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
      descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.
      
      Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect
      beacon handling or beacon related code.
