The commit 'ath9k_hw: Disable PAPRD for rates with low Tx power' changed the code that sets the PAPRD rate masks to use only either the HT20 mask or the HT40 mask. This is wrong, as the hardware can still use HT20 rates even when configured for HT40, and the operating channel mode does not affect PAPRD operation. The register for the HT40 rate mask is applied as a mask on top of the other registers to selectively disable PAPRD for specific rates on HT40 packets only. This patch changes the code back to the old behavior which matches the intended use of these registers. While with current cards this should not make any practical difference (according to Atheros, the HT20 and HT40 mask should always be equal), it is more correct that way, and maybe the HT40 mask will be used for some rare corner cases in the future.

When an skb is shared, it needs to be duplicated, along with its data buffer. If the skb does not have enough headroom, using skb_copy might cause the data buffer to be copied twice (once by skb_copy and once by pskb_expand_head). Fix this by using skb_clone initially and letting ieee80211_skb_resize sort out the rest. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

When rfkill is enabled, ath9k_hw unnecessarily configured the baseband to turn off based on GPIO input, however that code was hardcoded to GPIO 0 instead of ah->rfkill_gpio. Since ath9k uses software rfkill anyway, this code is completely unnecessary and should be removed in case anything else ever uses GPIO 0.

To improve aggregation length, there should not be more than two fully formed A-MPDU frames in the hardware queue. To ensure this, the code checks the tx queue length before forming new A-MPDUs. This can reduce the throughput (or maybe even starve out A-MPDU traffic) when too many non-aggregated frames are in the queue. Fix this by keeping track of pending A-MPDU frames (even when they're sent out as single frames), but exclude rate control probing frames to improve performance.

The Mesh Control header only includes 0, 1 or 2 addresses. If there is one address, it should be interpreted as Address 4. If there are 2, they are interpreted as Addresses 5 and 6 (Address 4 being the 4th address in the 802.11 header). The address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2. I'm not sure which draft version changed this, but it is very unlikely that it will change again given the state of the approval process of this draft. See section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0). Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used, so this change has no effect on over-the-air frame formats. But I thought I better remove it before someone does start using it. Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The old survey implementation was broken and returned nonsense data. Clear cycle counters and survey data on reset. Since the cycle counters easily overflow it's better to keep a local version of collected survey data (in ms resolution, instead of clockrate) and update this every time survey is retrieved. If survey is retrieved often enough to avoid cycle counter overflows this works fine, otherwise we could update survey more often, like ath9k does. Still only the survey for the current channel is kept. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Once we moved the core regulatory request to the queue and let the scheduler process it last_request will have been left NULL until the schedular decides to process the first request. When this happens and we are loading a driver with a custom regulatory request like all Atheros drivers we end up with a NULL pointer dereference. We fix this by checking if the request was a custom one.

Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to management frame protection being in use. This notification is needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch between an AP and STA. This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP (IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7). IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
