We use FUDGE to make sure the next TBTT is ahead of the current TU. Since we later substract AR5K_TUNE_SW_BEACON_RESP (10) in the timer configuration we need to make sure it is bigger than that. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This patch adds sanity-checks for the beacon timers and especially the ATIM window to ath5k. It is basically the same what i did for madwifi two years ago and fixes a problem in IBSS mode which has been described as "ramping" pings. See the code comments for a more detailed description and these links: http://madwifi-project.org/ticket/1154 http://madwifi-project.org/changeset/3867 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.madwifi.devel/6066Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

David Miller complained about the driver's excessive use of variables in __packed structs. While I did not fully agree with his sole "performance" argument on all accounts. I do see some room for improvement in hot-paths on architectures without an efficient access to unaligned elements. This first patch (dare I say?) optimizes an important tx hot-path in the driver: carl9170_tx_prepare. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Broadcom's Windows driver for the 4313 advertises an ampdu density of 7 => 16 us. The AR9170 MAC on the other hand only supports densities up to 8 us.

tx_ampdu_upload was not decreased when an a-MPDU frame had to be kicked out from the tx_pending queues. This broke ampdu aggregation, because the scheduler waits until tx_ampdu_upload drops to zero, before making the next aggregate.

This patch removes some cruft, which survived the RFC review phase. Originally, carl9170_tx_ampdu_queue erroneously dropped a lot of frames. As a result the ampdu scheduler bogged down quite frequently and the affected BA session timed out. However this bug has been fixed and the WA and its debugfs counter is no longer useful.

Association is dealt with as an atomic offchannel operation, we do this because we don't know we are associated until we get the associatin response from the AP. When we do get the associatin response though we were never clearing the offchannel state. This has a few implications, we told drivers we were still offchannel, and the first configured TX power for the channel does not take into account any power constraints. For ath9k this meant ANI calibration would not start upon association, and we'd have to wait until the first bgscan to be triggered. There may be other issues this resolves but I'm too lazy to comb the code to check.

commit 8c0c709e Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Wed Nov 25 17:46:15 2009 +0100 mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags moved the CMNTR flag into the skb RX flags for some aggregation cleanups, but this was wrong since the optimisation this flag tried to make requires that it is kept across the processing of multiple interfaces -- which isn't true for flags in the skb. The patch not only broke the optimisation, it also introduced a bug: under some (common!) circumstances the flag will be set on an already freed skb! However, investigating this in more detail, I found that most of the flags that we set should be per packet, _except_ for this one, due to a-MPDU processing. Additionally, the flags used for processing (currently just this one) need to be reset before processing a new packet. Since we haven't actually seen bugs reported as a result of the wrong flags handling (which is not too surprising -- the only real bug case I can come up with is an a-MSDU contained in an a-MPDU), I'll make a different fix for rc.

Even if the reorder timeout timer fires while scanning, the frames weren't received during scanning and therefore shouldn't be dropped. To implement this, changes to the passive scan RX handler simplify understanding it, because it currently checks HW_SCANNING independently of a packet's in-scan receive status (which doesn't make a big difference, since scan_rx() will only pick up probe responses and beacons, which can't be aggregated.)

The old ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw method didn't properly find VIFS when there was more than one per AP. This caused AMPDU logic in ath9k to get the wrong VIF when trying to account for transmitted SKBs. This patch changes ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw to take a localaddr argument to distinguish between VIFs with the same AP but different local addresses.

This patch fixes stale mac80211_tx_control_flags for filtered / retried frames.

The "basic_rate" module option is not implemented correctly. If the rate was set to zero it was supposed to set it to "basic_rate | 0x80". Unfortunately the check to see if what zero was wrong and it checked "!ai->config.rates" (which is always false) instead of "!ai->config.rates[i]". This option was just used for development and it wasn't documented anywhere. Instead of fixing it, we can just remove it.

IEEE Std 802.11k-2008 added DS Parameter Set information element into Probe Request frames as an optional information on 2.4 GHz band (and mandatory, if radio measurements are enabled). This allows APs to filter out Probe Request frames that may be received from neighboring overlapping channels and by doing so, reduce the number of unnecessary frames in the air. Make mac80211 add this IE into Probe Request frames whenever the channel is known (i.e., whenever hwscan is not used).

Additionally, moving it there has effectively discarded the optimisation -- since the bit is only ever set on freed SKBs, and those were a copy, it could never be checked. For the current release, fixing this properly is a bit too involved, so let's just remove the problematic code and leave userspace with one copy of each frame for each virtual interface.

The tid aggregation cleanup is a bit fragile, as it discards failed subframes in some places, and retransmits them in others. This could block the cleanup of an existing aggregation session, if a retransmission for a tid is issued, yet the tid is never scheduled again because of the cleanup state. Fix this by getting rid of as many subframes as possible, as early as possible, and immediately transmitting pending subframes as regular HT frames instead of waiting for the cleanup to complete. Drop all pending subframes while keeping track of the Block ACK window during aggregate tx completion to prevent sending out stale subframes, which could confuse the receiver side.

A new aggregation session start can be issued by mac80211, even when the cleanup of the previous session has not completed yet.
