The calibration results all come in while we're waiting for the calibration complete notification. As a consequence, there's no need to install a global RX handler for them, we can use the newly extended notification wait framework for this and make the code easier to follow. It is now quite explicit that we are processing the calibration results while waiting for the complete notification, before this was implicit and developers had to know this to understand why we wait for the calibration complete notification and what happens while we wait.

Sometimes, for example when we ask the uCode for calibration, we wait for the "complete" response while we also need the results that are sent in other, interim, notifications. Currently we handle this by installing an RX handler globally, but that isn't needed as this is the only time we want to use these notifications. So in order to be able to simplify at least future code that does the same, extend the notification wait framework to allow you to wait for multiple commands and decide based on the command whether the wait finished. While at it, also fix a race that can then become relevant -- if the wait function has returned true once it shouldn't be called again, today this can happen due to races between the triggering and the wakeup.

The flow handler (hardware) can put multiple frames into a single RX buffer. To handle this, walk the RX buffer and check if there are multiple valid packets in it. To let the upper layer handle this correctly introduce rxb_offset() which is needed when we pass pages to mac80211 -- we need to know the offset into the page there. Also change the page handling scheme to use refcounting. Anyone who needs a page will "steal" it, which marks it as having been used & refcounts it. The RX handler then has to free its own reference and must not reuse the page. Finally, do not set the bit asking the FH to give us each packet in a single buffer. This really enables the feature.

It has happened twice now where elaborate troubleshooting has undergone on systems where CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB [0] has been set but yet net/wireless/db.txt was not updated. Despite the documentation on this it seems system integrators could use some more help with this, so throw out a kernel warning at boot time when their database is empty. This does mean that the error-prone system integrator won't likely realize the issue until they boot the machine but -- it does not seem to make sense to enable a build bug breaking random build testing.

This patch is intended to solve the follwing issues in RANN propagation: [1] The interval in propagated RANN should be based on the interval of received RANN. [2] The aggregated path metric for propagated RANN is as received plus own link metric towards the transmitting mesh STA (not root mesh STA). [3] The comparison of path metric for RANN with same sequence number should be done before deciding whether to propagate or not.

The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When _usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775. The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync() by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.

When receiving DTIM we currently disable power save mode in the hardware unconditionally, i.e. also when the hardware was not sleeping. This causes trouble with at least one wireless chipset (Ralink RT3572). When the hardware is not sleeping and we send a wakeup command (e.g. this happens after a scan) then a significant decrease of the link quality or a disconnect may occur. Disabling power save mode only when it was enabled prevents this issue.

Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the timeout doesn't need to be so precise. Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp. Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems running on battery. This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded systems.

Drivers that load firmware from their probe routine have problems with the latest versions of udev as they get timeouts while waiting for user space to start. The problem is fixed by using request_firmware_nowait() and delaying the start of mac80211 until the firmware is loaded. To prevent the possibility of the driver being unloaded while the firmware loading callback is still active, a completion queue entry is used. Also, to simplify the firmware loading procedure, this patch removes the old, unofficial and confusing fallback firmware names. However, they are still supported! So any user - who is still using them - is hereby advised to link/rename their old firmware filenames: isl3890usb to isl3886usb isl3887usb_bare to isl3887usb Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Since some of the HT code pre-dates 802.11n-2009 some names are wrong. The one that bothers me most is that "HT operation" is called "HT information" in our code and that causes confusion.

Sometimes the probe frame (nullfunc) is stuck at the hw queue. so that the mac80211 terminates the connection as it wont see the tx status. Instead of waiting for long period for ack status, lets call flush to get nullfunc status immediately. It also helps to send the nullfunc till max tries reached.

There might be latency at AP side to update TIM IE which could cause the station to send pspoll frame even after the wakeup. If the powersave is disabled, the nullfunc notification alone is sufficient to receive frames from the AP. And if the pspoll frame was already sent, no need to resend the frame till it was acked by AP.

In the experiment with Azimuth ADEPT-n testbed where the APs transmit power was reduced to 25% and the signal strength was futher attenuated by 20dB and induced a path loss of ~7dB, the station was reporting beacon losses and the following issue were observed. * rx clear is stuck at low for more than 300ms * dcu chain and complete state is stuck at one of the hang signature This patch triggers the hang detection logic that recovers the chip from any of the above conditions. As the issue was originally reported in ChromeOs with AR9382 chips, this detection logic is enabled only for AR9380/2 chips.

This patch improves ANI operations by switching among the immunity levels based on PHY errors and beacon rssi which will adjust receiver desensitizing parameters. The changes are * Configure the Weak Signal Detection based on current immunity value. * At highest OFDM immunity level poor performance was observed with strong interference. By tuning the FIR step and spur immunity levels and not changing any weak signal detection thresholds at any level helped to improve the performance. * ANI took long time to recover back to lower immunity levels on heavy data load. As the listen time got reset to zero before reaching to the 5x of aniperiod, the immunity level is not lowering back even without any interference. This patch fix that.
