When I removed the special "default" meaning from the QoS parameters, I forgot to update drivers and this lead to warnings because some drivers were checking for the special values and putting in defaults. This fixes that by removing the default special-casing completely. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally, it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

This adds a firmware debugging knob to debugfs. With this knob it's possible to enable advanced runtime firmware checks. For now it only implements one sanity check for the mac-suspend. In future there'll probably be more. If CONFIG_B43_DEBUG is disabled, these checks will collapse to nothing. Signed-off-by: NMichael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

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.

This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.

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.

This patch distributes the Local Oscillator calibration bursts over time, so that calibration only happens when it's actually needed. Currently we periodically perform a recalibration of the whole table. The table is huge and this takes lots of time. Additionally only small bits of the table are actually needed at a given time. So instead of maintaining a huge table with all possible calibration values, we create dynamic calibration settings that a) We only calibrate when they are actually needed. b) Are cached for some time until they expire. So a recalibration might happen if we need a calibration setting that's not cached, or if the active calibration setting expires. Currently the expire timeout is set to 30 seconds. We may raise that in future. This patch reduces overall memory consumption by nuking the huge static calibration tables. This patch has been tested on several 4306, 4311 and 4318 flavours.

After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but before it happened, we had introduced the functions device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary, it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the normal device unregistration instead. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

This adds a fastpath for the common workloads to the MAC suspend flushing. In common workloads the FIFO flush will take between 100 and 200 microseconds. So we want to avoid calling msleep() in the common case, as it will waste over 800 microseconds + scheduler overhead. This fastpath will hit in workloads where only small chunks of data are transmitted (downloading a file) or when a TX rate bigger or equal to 24MBit/s is used when transmitting lots of stuff (iperf). So in the commonly used workloads it will basically always hit. In case the fastpath is not hit, there's no real performance or latency disadvantage from that. And yes, I measured this. So this is not one of these bad Programmer Likeliness Assumptions that are always wrong. ;) Signed-off-by: NMichael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices. This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine. On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX. So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that). The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100% CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt. PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't). Signed-off-by: NMichael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
