2009-06-10ath5k: added cfg80211 based rfkill supportTobias Doerffel
This patch introduces initial rfkill support for the ath5k driver based on rfkill support in the cfg80211 framework. All rfkill related code is separated into newly created rfkill.c. Changes to existing code are minimal: * added a new data structure ath5k_rfkill to the ath5k_softc structure * inserted calls to HW rfkill init/deinit routines * ath5k_intr() has been extended to handle AR5K_INT_GPIO interrupts Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-06-03ath5k: disable beacon interrupt when interface is downBob Copeland
When we remove the active interface, there's no need to continue sending beacons; doing so would cause a null pointer deref in ieee80211_beacon_get(). Disable the interrupt in remove_interface and add a WARN_ON(!vif) in case there are other instances lurking. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-06-03ath5k: remove conf->beacon_int usageBob Copeland
ieee80211_conf->beacon_int was deprecated and removed in a cleanup patch, however it was accidentally added back to ath5k in the change "ath5k: Allow user/driver to set txpower." Remove it once more, fixing the following warning: [13091.968902] WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:2167 warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x1a() [13091.968906] Hardware name: MacBook1,1 [13091.968909] Modules linked in: usb_storage fuse i915 drm af_packet acpi_cpufreq binfmt_misc dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_multipath dm_mod snd_hda_codec_idt snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_seq_dummy hid_apple arc4 ecb snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi_event usbhid snd_seq ath5k mac80211 appletouch snd_seq_device snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss sky2 snd_pcm ath processor cfg80211 snd_timer sg ohci1394 snd uhci_hcd bitrev ieee1394 joydev ehci_hcd crc32 snd_page_alloc button ac thermal battery sr_mod applesmc cdrom evdev input_polldev unix [last unloaded: microcode] [13091.968985] Pid: 2132, comm: phy0 Tainted: G W 2.6.30-rc5-wl #118 [13091.968988] Call Trace: [13091.968994] [<c0125884>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x77/0xa6 [13091.969003] [<c03557d8>] ? _spin_unlock+0x2c/0x41 [13091.969008] [<c0355a56>] ? _spin_lock_irqsave+0x15/0x69 [13091.969012] [<c0355783>] ? _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x34/0x5d [13091.969019] [<c01445bb>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [13091.969024] [<c0355783>] ? _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x34/0x5d [13091.969029] [<c01445bb>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [13091.969034] [<c0355783>] ? _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x34/0x5d [13091.969039] [<c01258c8>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x1a [13091.969054] [<f965846d>] ath5k_beacon_update_timers+0x44/0x27f [ath5k] [13091.969059] [<c0126370>] ? vprintk+0x2dd/0x312 [13091.969063] [<c0125e50>] ? release_console_sem+0x1a6/0x1d3 [13091.969076] [<f96586c5>] ath5k_reset_tsf+0x1d/0x2c [ath5k] [13091.969095] [<f93f4426>] __ieee80211_sta_join_ibss+0x35/0x3aa [mac80211] [13091.969102] [<c0252793>] ? extract_entropy+0x47/0x8a [13091.969121] [<f93f4b21>] ieee80211_sta_find_ibss+0x2de/0x32f [mac80211] [13091.969126] [<c035422c>] ? mutex_lock_nested+0x28b/0x2a5 [13091.969145] [<f93f4b8e>] ? ieee80211_ibss_notify_scan_completed+0x1c/0x6f [mac80211] [13091.969164] [<f93f4bc9>] ieee80211_ibss_notify_scan_completed+0x57/0x6f [mac80211] [13091.969182] [<f93f26da>] ieee80211_scan_completed+0x31a/0x33f [mac80211] [13091.969201] [<f93f27ca>] ieee80211_scan_work+0xcb/0x18b [mac80211] [13091.969207] [<c0133a6a>] worker_thread+0x1b1/0x28e [13091.969212] [<c0133a25>] ? worker_thread+0x16c/0x28e [13091.969230] [<f93f26ff>] ? ieee80211_scan_work+0x0/0x18b [mac80211] [13091.969237] [<c013736e>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x38 [13091.969242] [<c01338b9>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x28e [13091.969246] [<c0137031>] kthread+0x4a/0x70 [13091.971460] [<c0136fe7>] ? kthread+0x0/0x70 [13091.971467] [<c0103527>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 [13091.971470] ---[ end trace 8defaa5d15c50cef ]--- Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The patch moves some utility functions from mac80211 to cfg80211. Because these functions are doing generic 802.11 operations so they are not mac80211 specific. The moving allows some fullmac drivers to be also benefit from these utility functions.

2009-05-20ath5k: avoid and warn on potential infinite loopBob Copeland
If we are trying to interpolate a curve with slope == 0, the return value will always be the y-coordinate. In this code we are looping until we reach a minimum y-coordinate on a line, which in the 0-slope case can never happen, thus the loop never terminates. The PCDAC steps come from the EEPROM and should never be equal, but we should gracefully handle that case, so warn and bail out.

2009-05-20ath5k: update beacons in AP modeBob Copeland

2009-05-06ath5k: Enable AP modeJiri Slaby
After some debuging we were hitting the following bugs so far... * Due to huge channel list hostapd couldn't get infos from the driver and couldn't set the channel. If we manualy set the channel after hostapd starts (by setting channel to 0 -auto), beacons are sent but they wont show up on scan because they are malformed (they have channel = 0 because hostapd doesn't update the channel info -this is probably a hostapd bug so i'm CCing Jouni) and they get dropped. Bob fixed this by only allowing standard channels to be registered so now hostapd works as expected. * Docs (and HAL source) say that we must write 0 on timer0 when operating on AP mode to start TSF increment but this seems to mess with DBA in many cases and beacon queue never gets started. We fixed that on the previous patch. We have some more things to deal with... * For some reason (hw bug or something else) after restarting hostapd a few times, beacon inteval seems to change from 100ms to a sec (we get one beacon per sec). * We need to set sleep timers on STA mode and enable power saving + support PCF. ...but i think it's time we enable AP support "officialy" so that we can get more feedback from users. I ran ath5k with the mentioned patches + hostapd 0.6.8 and AP mode worked fine (it had some less throughput on my tests than IBSS but it worked).

2009-05-06ath5k: Beaconing fixesNick Kossifidis
* Write next beacon timer even on AP mode since without this we get no beacons + ath9k does it too. Docs say that we must write 0 on this register on AP mode to start TSF increment, we do both to be on the safe side. * Fix num_tx_pending function, we never read the register :P that's why we got all those "beacon queue 7 didn't stop messages". * Put full prioriy on beacon queue, lock all queues with lower priority using the arblock and also bypass any arblock by seting the arblock ignore flag. * For the CAB queue (do we need this thing ?, it seems crap) since it's supposed to fire up after each beacon (we don't use it on driver part, ath9k/MadWiFi does), don't make it DBA gated but instead make it fire after each beacon by using the beacon sent gated flag. * Increase bmiss threshold to 10, that's what we used on MadWiFi for a long time. Also when we have pending frames on the beacon queue (we got a beacon that didn't make it on the air) it's more likely that the beacon queue never started, probably due to faulty DBA setting, so change that "beacon queue didn't stop" message. Tested this with AP mode and IBSS mode and seems to work fine ;-) Signed-off-by: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Tested 2 different cards (a CM9 and an RF5112-based ubnt) and got the same output using a remote machine to measure per-packet rssi (conected the cards using attenuators). I also switched between various tx power levels and i saw an equal power change on the remote machine (so txpower changes as expected) and verified that we have the same output on each rate.

2009-05-06mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changedJohannes Berg

2009-05-06mac80211: clean up beacon interval settingsJohannes Berg
We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs: hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is rather confusing, even though the former is used when we beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to an AP. This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily. NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all drivers, some are updated in this patch.
