The skb->cb (control buffer, 48 bytes) is available to the skb upon skb allocation. You can fill it up imediately after skb allocation. ath9k was copying onto the skb->cb the data from the processed skb for mac80211 from a stack struct ieee80211_rx_status structure. This is unnecessary, instead use the skb->cb for the rx status immediately after the skb becomes available and DMA synched. Additionally, avoid the copy of the skb->cb also for virtual wiphys as skb_copy() will copy over the skb->cb for us as well. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This moves all the RX processing of RSSI into a helper, ath_rx_prepare(). ath_rx_prepare() should now be really easy to read and follow. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

No need to use the private driver structure to get to an sband. This will make it easier to share this code with ath9k_htc.

Its not needed, so just pass the hardware RX status. We'll be simplfying ath_rx_prepare() with code we can share between ath9k and ath9k_htc. This will help make that code easier to read and manage.

ath9k virtual wiphys all share the same internal buffer space for TX but they do not share the mac80211 skb queues. When ath9k detects it is running low on buffer space to TX it tells mac80211 to stop sending it skbs its way but it always does this only for the primary wiphy. This means mac80211 won't know its best to avoid sending ath9k more skbs on a separate virtual wiphy. The same issue is present for reliving the skb queue. Since ath9k does not keep track of which virtual wiphy is hammering on TX silence all wiphy's TX when we're low on buffer space. When we're free on buffer space only bother informing the virtual wiphy which is active that we have free buffers. Cc: Jouni.Malinen <Jouni.Malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

When using virtual wiphys the base sc->hw was being used, the correct hw is passed along the caller already so just use that. Cc: Jouni.Malinen <Jouni.Malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

When ath9k virtual wiphys are used the sc->hw will not always represent the active hw, instead we need to get it from the skb->cb private driver area. This ensures the right hw is used to find a sta for the TX'd skb. Cc: Jouni.Malinen <Jouni.Malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

We use the ieee80211_hw for radio enable/disable but the wrong structure hw was being used in consideration for virtual wiphys as each virtual wiphy has its own ieee80211_hw struct. Just pass the hw struct to ensure we use the right one. This should fix the hw used and passed for radio enable/disable. This includes the stoping / starting of the software TX queues so mac80211 doesn't send us data for a specific virtual wiphy. ath9k already takes care of pausing virtual wiphys and stopping the respective queues on its own, but this should handle the idle mac80211 conf calls as well.

this now uses the proper hw which should mean finding the right sta when using ath9k virtual wiphy stuff. Only advantage I see here is getting the rssi properly updated so the 'fix' itself isn't that great, but at least this is correct. Cc: Jouni.Malinen <Jouni.Malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

The way idle configuration detection was implemented as busted due to the fact that it assumed the ath9k virtual wiphy, the aphy, would be marked as inactive if it was not used but it turns out an aphy is always active if its the only wiphy present. We need to distinguish between aphy activity and idleness so we now add an idle bool for the aphy and mark it as such based on the passed IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE from mac80211. Previous to all_wiphys_idle would never be true when using only one device so we never really were using IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE -- we never turned the radio off or on upon IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE changes as radio changes depended on all_wiphys_idle being true either to turn the radio on or off. Since it was always false for one device this code was doing nothing. Cc: Jouni.Malinen <Jouni.Malinen@atheros.com> Reported-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vasanth@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

In some situations it might be useful to run a network with an Access Point and multiple clients, but with each client bridged to a network behind it. For this to work, both the client and the AP need to transmit 4-address frames, containing both source and destination MAC addresses. With this patch, you can configure a client to communicate using only 4-address frames for data traffic. On the AP side you can enable 4-address frames for individual clients by isolating them in separate AP VLANs which are configured in 4-address mode. Such an AP VLAN will be limited to one client only, and this client will be used as the destination for all traffic on its interface, regardless of the destination MAC address in the packet headers. The advantage of this mode compared to regular WDS mode is that it's easier to configure and does not require a static list of peer MAC addresses on any side.

CCS_START_NETWORK is declared in drivers/net/wireless/rayctl.h with the comment Values for cmd. status is previously compared to CCS_COMMAND_COMPLETE, which is declared in the same file with the comment Values for buffer_status. Finally, it is possible at this point that cmd is CCS_START_NETWORK, because it is compared to that value in an enclosing switch that has CCS_START_NETWORK as one of two case labels around this code.
