      cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming feature · 37184244
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      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.

      iwlagn: fix minimum number of queues setting · 45f5fa32
      reinette chatre 提交于
      We need to provide a reasonable minimum that will result in a
      working setup if used. Set minimum to be 10 to provide for
      4 standard TX queues + 1 command queue + 2 (unused) HCCA queues +
      4 HT queues (one per AC).
      
      We allow the user to change the number of queues used via a module
      parameter and use this minimum value to check if it is valid. Without
      this patch a user can select a value for the number of queues that
      will result in a failing setup.

      iwlwifi: fix TX queue race · 3995bd93
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      I had a problem on 4965 hardware (well, probably other hardware too,
      but others don't survive my stress testing right now, unfortunately)
      where the driver was sending invalid commands to the device, but no
      such thing could be seen from the driver's point of view. I could
      reproduce this fairly easily by sending multiple TCP streams with
      iperf on different TIDs, though sometimes a single iperf stream was
      sufficient. It even happened with a single core, but I have forced
      preemption turned on.
      
      The culprit was a queue overrun, where we advanced the queue's write
      pointer over the read pointer. After careful analysis I've come to
      the conclusion that the cause is a race condition between iwlwifi
      and mac80211.
      
      mac80211, of course, checks whether the queue is stopped, before
      transmitting a frame. This effectively looks like this:
      
              lock(queues)
              if (stopped(queue)) {
                      unlock(queues)
                      return busy;
      	}
              unlock(queues)
              ...             <-- this place will be important
      			    there is some more code here
              drv_tx(frame)
      
      The driver, on the other hand, can stop and start queues, which does
      
              lock(queues)
              mark_running/stopped(queue)
              unlock(queues)
      
      	[if marked running: wake up tasklet to send pending frames]
      
      Now, however, once the driver starts the queue, mac80211 can see that
      and end up at the marked place above, at which point for some reason the
      driver seems to stop the queue again (I don't understand that) and then
      we end up transmitting while the queue is actually full.
      
      Now, this shouldn't actually matter much, but for some reason I've seen
      it happen multiple times in a row and the queue actually overflows, at
      which point the queue bites itself in the tail and things go completely
      wrong.
      
      This patch fixes this by just dropping the packet should this have
      happened, and making the lock in iwlwifi cover everything so iwlwifi
      can't race against itself (dropping the lock there might make it more
      likely, but it did seem to happen without that too).
      
      Since we can't hold the lock across drv_tx() above, I see no way to fix
      this in mac80211, but I also don't understand why I haven't seen this
      before -- maybe I just never stress tested it this badly.
      
      With this patch, the device has survived many minutes of simultanously
      sending two iperf streams on different TIDs with combined throughput
      of about 60 Mbps.

      The issue was, that the locking code in mkiss was assuming it was only
      ever being called in process or bh context.  Fixed by converting the
      involved locking code to use irq-safe locks.
      
      Review of other networking line disciplines shows that 6pack, both sync
      and async PPP and STRIP have similar issues.  The ppp_async one is the
      most interesting one as it sorts out half of the issue as far back as

      ath9k: Fix leak in tx descriptor · cbfe89c6
      Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan 提交于
      When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the
      last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it.
      If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal
      reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding
      descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the
      following two issues.
      
      1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer
      due to shortage in tx desc.
      
      2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to
      update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame
      associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in
      the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw().
      
      This patch fixes these two issues.

      b43/b43legacy: fix radio LED initialization · fd4973c5
      Larry Finger 提交于
      Fix condition in which radio LED did not initialize correctly, and remove
      4 compilation warnings.
      
      After the recent changes in rfkill, the radio LED used by b43/b43legacy
      did not always initialize correctly.
      
      Both b43 and b43legacy used the deprecated variable radio_enabled in
      struct ieee80211_conf.
