2009-04-22ath5k: use regulatory infrastructureBob Copeland

2009-04-22ath5k: reduce exported channel listBob Copeland
Claiming every available 5 ghz channel has a couple of negative side-effects: scanning takes a long time, and the channel list overflows the available buffer space for netlink commands, resulting in: $ iw phy phy0 info command failed: No buffer space available (-105) This patch adds a modparam so people who want to see all the channels can do so by passing all_channels=1. By default users will see a smaller list of channels. This also halves scan time, from 10 seconds down to less than 5 when using world regulatory.

2009-03-27ath5k: warn and correct rate for unknown hw rate indexesBob Copeland
ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some received frames with incorrect rate indexes. Such frames normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(), but it doesn't include enough information to track down the error. This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so the frame can be processed.

2009-03-27ath5k: disable MIB interruptsBob Copeland
The MIB interrupt fires whenever counters overflow; however without support for automatic noise immunity, we can sometimes get an interrupt storm. The get_stats() callback reads the counters anyway so we can disable the interrupt for now until ANI is implemented. This fixes the issue reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12647.

2009-02-27ath5k: move beacon processing to a taskletBob Copeland
We currently send beacons directly from the interrupt routine. This can hold up interrupt processing in beaconing modes and makes the ISR somewhat more complex. Move it to a tasklet like rx and tx.

2009-02-27ath5k: use spin_lock_irqsave for beacon lockBob Copeland
ath5k_reset can be called from process context, which in turn can call ath5k_beacon_config which takes the sc->block spinlock. Since it can also be taken in hard irq context, use spin_lock_irqsave everywhere. This fixes a potential deadlock in adhoc mode.

2009-02-27ath5k: don't mask off interrupt bitsBob Copeland
Since interrupts are already masked by the hardware, there's no need to discard interrupt bits in the ISR itself. Also, in ath5k_beacon_config we mask off a couple of bits without locking, so doing this mask in software can lead to unhandled beacon timer and beacon miss interrupts.

* Update and cleanup rf gain optimization code * Add comments and refferences to docs and use sane function names * Use only step index on ath5k_gain, no need to have a pointer to the current step since we can determine te step from it's index, this also allows us to put all other structs on rfgain.h and cleanup ath5k.h a little * No need for ah_rfgain variable, we use ah_gain.g_state for everything * Tested on RF2112B chip but gain_F calibration is not yet done (we will finish this on the next patch where we'll rewrite rf-buffer handling) * Use initial rf gain settings for 2316 and 2317 SoCs introduced on a previous patch It seems big but it's mostly cleanup, very few functional changes have been made on phy.c Signed-off-by: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

*On a previous patch i splitted AR5K_INT_TX to multiple different TX interrupt flags for better handling but i forgot to unmask the new TXDESC and TXEOL interrupts on ath5k_init and only left TXOK. However for each queue we enable TXDESC and TXEOL interrupts, not TXOK so we don't handle TX interrupts at all (because these interrupts remain masked on PISR) and under load it results packet loss.
