TXDONE_FALLBACK expresses that fallback rates were used for retries. Hence, it only makes sense to set the flag if retries > 0. Signed-off-by:

TXDONE_FALLBACK doesn't express if the frame was sent successful or not. It only tells us that the hw used fallback rates for retries. Hence, don't use TXDONE_FALLBACK as success indicator. Before this patch we reported success to the rate control algorithm which was wrong in a number of cases and might have lead to improper tx rate selections. Signed-off-by:

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, we must use a separate counter for tracking received CCMP packet number for the management frames. The previously used NUM_RX_DATA_QUEUESth queue was shared with data frames when QoS was not used and that can cause problems in detecting replays incorrectly for robust management frames. Add a new counter just for robust management frames to avoid this issue. Signed-off-by:

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, Deauthentication frame needs to be protected when the pairwise key is configured. mac80211 was removing the station entry (and its keys) before actually sending out the Deauthentication frame. Fix this by reordering the code to send the frame before the station entry gets removed. This matches an earlier change that handled the Disassociation frame processing, but missed Deauthentication frames. Signed-off-by:

The ps-qos latency handling is broken. It uses predetermined latency values to select specific dynamic PS timeouts. With common AP configurations, these values overlap with beacon interval and are therefore essentially useless (for network latencies less than the beacon interval, PSM is disabled.) This patch remedies the problem by replacing the predetermined network latency values with one high value (1900ms) which is used to go trigger full psm. For backwards compatibility, the value 2000ms is still mapped to a dynamic ps timeout of 100ms. Currently also the mac80211 internal value for storing user space configured dynamic PSM values is incorrectly in the driver visible ieee80211_conf struct. Move it to the ieee80211_local struct.

Fix the problem by rewriting the way the hardware ARP filter list is handled - i.e. make a copy of the address list to the bss_conf struct, and provide that list to the hardware driver when needed. The current patch will enable filtering also in promiscuous mode. This may need to be changed in the future. Reported-by:

ath9k tries to prevent WMM queue tx buffer starvation caused by traffic on different queues by limiting the number of pending frames in a tx queue (tracked in the ath_buf structure). This had a leak issue, because the a skb can be reassigned to a different ath_buf in the tx path, causing the pending frame counter to become inaccurate. To fix this, track the number of frames in an array in the softc, using the mac80211 queue mapping as index. Signed-off-by:

AR5416 and all newer chipsets use a 32 bit rx timestamp, so there is no need to keep the 15 bit timestamp extending logic around. This patch removes ath9k_hw_extend_tsf (replaced by a call to ath9k_hw_gettsf64), and reduces the frequency of TSF reads, which can improve performance in some cases. This change also has the side effect of making rx timestamps more accurate. Signed-off-by:

ath_get_mac80211_qnum() expects the queue 'subtype' (internal ID for the WMM AC) as argument when looking up the mac80211 queue, however ath_wake_mac80211_queue provides txq->axq_qnum instead, which contains the hardware queue number.

AR9003 has been tested with the new ANI implementation and so ANI can now be enabled for that family. Signed-off-by:

Luis R. Rodriguez authored
This adds support for ANI for AR9003. The implementation for ANI for AR9003 is slightly different than the one used for the older chipset families. It can technically be used for the older families as well but this is not yet fully tested so we only enable the new ANI for the AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002 families with a module parameter, force_new_ani. The old ANI implementation is left intact. Details of the new ANI implemention: * ANI adjustment logic is now table driven so that each ANI level setting is parameterized. This makes adjustments much more deterministic than the old procedure based logic and allows adjustments to be made incrementally to several parameters per level. * ANI register settings are now relative to INI values; so ANI param zero level == INI value. Appropriate floor and ceiling values are obeyed when adjustments are combined with INI values. * ANI processing is done once per second rather that every 100ms. The poll interval is now a set upon hardware initialization and can be picked up by the core driver. * OFDM error and CCK error processing are made in a round robin fashion rather than allowing all OFDM adjustments to be made before CCK adjustments. * ANI adjusts MRC CCK off in the presence of high CCK errors * When adjusting spur immunity (SI) and OFDM weak signal detection, ANI now sets register values for the extension channel too * When adjusting FIR step (ST), ANI now sets register for FIR step low too * FIR step adjustments now allow for an extra level of immunity for extremely noisy environments * The old Noise immunity setting (NI), which changes coarse low, size desired, etc have been removed. Changing these settings could affect up RIFS RX as well. * CCK weak signal adjustment is no longer used * ANI no longer enables phy error interrupts; in all cases phy hw counting registers are used instead * The phy error count (overflow) interrupts are also no longer used for ANI adjustments. All ANI adjustments are made via the polling routine and no adjustments are possible in the ISR context anymore * A history settings buffer is now correctly used for each channel; channel settings are initialized with the defaults but later changes are restored when returning back to that channel * When scanning, ANI is disabled settings are returned to (INI) defaults. * OFDM phy error thresholds are now 400 & 1000 (errors/second units) for low/high water marks, providing increased stability/hysteresis when changing levels. * Similarly CCK phy error thresholds are now 300 & 600 (errors/second) Signed-off-by: -

The new ANI implementation will use this to skip ANI calibration upon a scan. This cannot be ported to the older ANI implementation unless default ANI values from the ANI are also used upon a scan. This is essentially what one of the things thenew ANI does. Signed-off-by:

The AR9003 hardware family will use a slightly modified ANI implementation which has not yet been tested on the other hardware families. To allow for this new ANI implementation a few ANI calls need to be abstracted away. This patch just allows for each hardware family to declare their own ANI ops and annotates the current ANI implementation as old. Signed-off-by:

We get an MIB interrupt when we hit certain PHY error counter thresholds. If ANI is disabled but the MIB interrupt is enabled we'll keep around the old MIB interrupt causes. Since ath9k disables the MIB interrupt when ANI is disabled this is not a fix, but more of a sanity fix in case we ever need the MIB interrupt enabled but disabling ANI. Signed-off-by:
