When instructing the microcode to use just a single chain when we have power saving enabled, we should also tell the AP that we are doing SM powersave. However, using a single chain doesn't actually have any power saving advantage while idle -- measurements show that the power consumption is no different when using one vs. two or three chains. Therefore, always instruct the microcode to use all chains.

The chain settings we currently use in iwlwifi are rather confusing -- and we also go by the wrong settings entirely under certain circumstances. To clean it up, create a new variable in the current HT config -- single_chain_sufficient -- that tells us whether we need more than one chain. Calculate that based on the AP and operating mode (no IBSS HT implemented -- so no need for multiple chains, for station mode we use the AP's capabilities). Additionally, since APs always send disabled SM PS mode, keeping track of their sm_ps mode isn't very useful -- doubly not so for our _own_ RX config since that should depend on our, not the AP's, SM PS mode. Finally, document that our configuration of the number of RX chains used is currently wrong when in powersave (by adding a comment). All together this removes the two remaining items in struct iwl_ht_config that were done wrong there. For the future, the number of RX chains and some SM PS handshaking needs to be added to mac80211, which then needs to tell us, and the new variable current_ht_config.single_chain_sufficient should also be calculated by mac80211.

When hardware or uCode problem occurs driver captures significant information from device to enable debugging. The format of this information is different between 3945 and 4965 and later devices, yet currently the 3945 uses the 4965 and later format. Fix this by adding a new library call that is initialized to the correct formatting routine based on device. This moves the iwlagn event and error log handling back to iwl-agn.c to make it part of iwlagn module. Also remove the 3945 sysfs file that triggers dump of event log - there is already a debugfs file that can do it for all drivers.

There's a bug in 4965 powersave that appears to be related to the way it keeps track of its data during sleep, but we haven't found it yet. Due to that, using powersave may spontaneously cause the device to SYSASSERT when transitioning from sleep to wake. Therefore, disable powersave for 4965, until (if ever, unfortunately) we can identify and fix the problem. Cf. http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1982 which was closed, but now has re-appeared with IDLE mode, which probably means we never really fixed it.

For HT packets, mac80211 expects the rate_idx to be an MCS number, which is the lower byte of rate_n_flags. However, iwl_hwrate_to_plcp_idx takes the MCS number and reduces it down to the range 0-8 (6 to 60 Mbps), removing the bits that signify multiply streams, HT40 Duplicate mode, or unequal modulation. This version is used for various internal purposes through the driver. Add the function iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx, an alternate version which takes the rate and the band and returns the mac80211 index (MCS, for HT packets, and PLCP rate, for legacy packets).

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that need the multicast address list implement. This new callback must be atomic, but most drivers either don't care or just calculate a hash which can be done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware non-atomically. A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170, mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00, wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this new capability.

The field called 'len' in struct iwl_rx_packet is in fact not just a length field but also includes some flags from the flow handler. In several places throughout the driver, this causes incorrect values to be interpreted as lengths when the field is improperly masked. In most situations the improper use is for debugging output, and simply results in an erroneous message, such as: [551933.070224] ieee80211 phy0: I iwl_rx_statistics Statistics notification received (480 vs -1367342620). which should read '(480 vs 484)'. In at least one case this could case bad things to happen: void iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif(struct iwl_priv *priv, struct iwl_rx_mem_buffer *rxb) { struct iwl_rx_packet *pkt = (struct iwl_rx_packet *)rxb->skb->data; IWL_DEBUG_RADIO(priv, "Dumping %d bytes of unhandled " "notification for %s:\n", le32_to_cpu(pkt->len), get_cmd_string(pkt->hdr.cmd)); iwl_print_hex_dump(priv, IWL_DL_RADIO, pkt->u.raw, le32_to_cpu(pkt->len) ); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif); Given the rampant misuse of this field without proper masking throughout the driver (every use but one), this patch renames the field from 'len' to 'len_n_flags' to reduce confusion. It also adds the proper masking when this field is used as a length value.

Depending on required latency requested by pm_qos (via mac80211) we can automatically adjust the sleep state. Also, mac80211 has a user-visible dynamic sleep feature where we are supposed to stay awake after sending/receiving frames to better receive response frames to our packets, this can be integrated into the sleep command. Currently, and this patch doesn't change that yet, we default to using sleep level 1 if PS is enabled. With a module parameter to iwlcore, automatic adjustment to changing network latency requirements can be enabled -- this isn't yet the default due to requiring more testing. The goal is to enable automatic adjustment and then go into the deepest possible sleep state possible depending on the networking latency requirements. This patch does, however, enable IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS to avoid the double-timer (one in software and one in the device) when transmitting -- the exact timeout may be ignored but that is not of big concern. Note also that we keep the hard-coded power indices around for thermal throttling -- the specification of that calls for using the specified power levels. Those can also be selected in debugfs to allow easier testing of such parameters.

Some of the thermal throttle data structures and code are really very intermingled with the sleep (power) control code. They really do belong together in a way since the thermal throttle code uses powersaving to achieve its goal, but it's making it hard to work on the powersave code. Split this up to make that easier.

commit "iwlwifi: uCode Alive notification with timeout" introduced a more reliable mechanism for ucode loading. Unfortunately we hit a problem with it frequently enough to make a 4965 unusable. The problem can be seen in debug log below. What this code attempts is to set runtime ucode up to load, start a timer to wait for the alive response from runtime ucode, and if it times out it tries again. As can be seen below we receive the alive response and wake the waiting task _before_ the tasks starts waiting. The task thus times out as the alive response is not received while it is waiting for it and it restarts the device. This starts the cycle all over again.

Commit "iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly" cleaned up the debug level handling. In doing so it created a single global debug level for all devices. Some setups do consits of more that one iwlwifi device and in these setups there is a requirement that debug levels should be unique per device. We now re-introduce the per device debugging while maintaining the cleanup effort of the previous patch. The maintain the global debug level and now introduce a per-device debug level that will be used if it (the per-device debug level) is set. The per-device debug level can be controlled via the debug_level sysfs file while the global debug level is controlled by the debug module parameter.

A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6: "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint" We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable. By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did support such enhancements when world roaming. Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them. We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed world wide. This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP, and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared upon wiphy registration. I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: NLuis R.

Add debugfs file to enable/disable HT40(40MHz) channel support. By default, 40MHz is supported if AP can support the function. By echo "1" to "disable_ht40" file, iwlwifi driver will disable the 40MHz support and only allow 20MHz channel. Because the information exchange happen during association time, so enable/disable ht40 channel only can be performed when it is not associated with AP.

The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess: 1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver and device data in a single packed structure -- this is very confusing 2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a structure by embedding the latter in the former, which is also rather confusing because it leads to weird unions and similarly odd constructs 3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands, even if only 32 end up being used This patch fixes these things: 1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of command metadata and device command separately, in two arrays in each tx queue 2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only put in the required members 3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of embedding them into the txq structure Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: NReinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

Part 1 of Thermal Throttling Management - Thermal Throttling feature is used to put NIC into low power state when driver detect the Radio temperature reach pre-defined threshold Two Thermal Throttling Management Methods; this patch introduce the Legacy Thermal Management: IWL_TI_0: normal temperature, system power state IWL_TI_1: high temperature detect, low power state IWL_TI_2: higher temperature detected, lower power state IWL_TI_CT_KILL: critical temperature detected, lowest power state Once get into CT_KILL state, uCode go into sleep, driver will stop all the active queues, then move to IWL_TI_CT_KILL state; also set up 5 seconds timer to toggle CSR flag, uCode wake up upon CSR flag change, then measure the temperature. If temperature is above CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode go backto sleep; if temperature is below CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode send Card State Notification response with appropriate CT_KILL status flag, and uCode remain awake, Driver receive Card State Notification Response and update the card temperature to the CT_KILL exit threshold.

If advance thermal throttling is used the driver need to pass both "enter" and "exit" temperature to uCode. Using different critical temperature threshold for legacy and advance thermal throttling management based on the type of thermal throttling method is used except 1000. For 1000, it use advance thermal throttling critical temperature threshold, but with legacy thermal management implementation until ucode has the necessary implementations in place.
