2009-09-23iwlwifi: reduce noise when skb allocation failsReinette Chatre
Replenishment of receive buffers is done in the tasklet handling received frames as well as in a workqueue. When we are in the tasklet we cannot sleep and thus attempt atomic skb allocations. It is generally not a big problem if this fails since iwl_rx_allocate is always followed by a call to iwl_rx_queue_restock which will queue the work to replenish the buffers at a time when sleeping is allowed. We thus add the __GFP_NOWARN to the skb allocation in iwl_rx_allocate to reduce the noise if such an allocation fails while we still have enough buffers. We do maintain the warning and the error message when we are low on buffers to communicate to the user that there is a potential problem with memory availability on system This addresses issue reported upstream in thread "iwlagn: order 2 page allocation failures" in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/39187 Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-09-23iwlwifi: fix potential rx buffer lossReinette Chatre
RX handling maintains a few lists that keep track of the RX buffers. Buffers move from one list to the other as they are used, replenished, and again made available for usage. In one such instance, when a buffer is used it enters the "rx_used" list. When buffers are replenished an skb is attached to the buffer and it is moved to the "rx_free" list. The problem here is that the buffer is first removed from the "rx_used" list _before_ the skb is allocated. Thus, if the skb allocation fails this buffer remains removed from the "rx_used" list and is thus lost for future usage. Fix this by first allocating the skb before trying to attach it to a list. We add an additional check to not do this unnecessarily. Reported-by: Rick Farrington <rickdic@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-08-31iwl3945: reduce debug noise when default debug flags usedReinette Chatre
Significant literature suggests users use debug flags 0x43fff - this causes the debug flags to be set that causes information to be printed for every received frame - including beacons. In the best case it fills up the logs, at worst it slows driver down and causes failures due to timeouts. In the RX handler, print debugging only if user requested RX debugging.

2009-08-28iwlwifi: Make injection of non-broadcast frames work againGábor Stefanik
Commit 1ccb84d87d04df3c76cd4352fe69786d8c7cf016 by Wey-Yi Guy ("iwlwifi: clean up unused NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR for Monitor mode") broke injection of non-broadcast frames to unassociated stations (causing a SYSASSERT for all such injected frames), due to injected frames no longer automatically getting a broadcast station ID assigned. This patch restores the old behavior, fixing the aforementioned regression. Also, consistently check for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED instead of iwl_is_monitor_mode in the TX path, as TX_CTL_INJECTED specifically means that a given packet is coming from a monitor interface, while iwl_is_monitor_mode only shows whether a monitor interface exists on the device.

2009-08-20iwlwifi: prevent read outside array boundsReinette Chatre
With EDCA and HCCA we have 16 potential tid values. This is accommodated by mac80211, but iwlwifi only supports EDCA. With this implementation it is thus possible for mac80211 to request a tid that will cause iwlwifi to read outside array bounds. A similar problem exists if traffic is received in an unsupported category. We add error checking to catch these situations.

2009-08-14iwlwifi: automatically adjust sleep levelJohannes Berg
Depending on required latency requested by pm_qos (via mac80211) we can automatically adjust the sleep state. Also, mac80211 has a user-visible dynamic sleep feature where we are supposed to stay awake after sending/receiving frames to better receive response frames to our packets, this can be integrated into the sleep command. Currently, and this patch doesn't change that yet, we default to using sleep level 1 if PS is enabled. With a module parameter to iwlcore, automatic adjustment to changing network latency requirements can be enabled -- this isn't yet the default due to requiring more testing. The goal is to enable automatic adjustment and then go into the deepest possible sleep state possible depending on the networking latency requirements. This patch does, however, enable IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS to avoid the double-timer (one in software and one in the device) when transmitting -- the exact timeout may be ignored but that is not of big concern. Note also that we keep the hard-coded power indices around for thermal throttling -- the specification of that calls for using the specified power levels. Those can also be selected in debugfs to allow easier testing of such parameters.

2009-08-14iwlwifi: re-introduce per device debuggingReinette Chatre
Commit "iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly" cleaned up the debug level handling. In doing so it created a single global debug level for all devices. Some setups do consits of more that one iwlwifi device and in these setups there is a requirement that debug levels should be unique per device. We now re-introduce the per device debugging while maintaining the cleanup effort of the previous patch. The maintain the global debug level and now introduce a per-device debug level that will be used if it (the per-device debug level) is set. The per-device debug level can be controlled via the debug_level sysfs file while the global debug level is controlled by the debug module parameter.

2009-08-03cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming featureLuis R. Rodriguez
A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6: "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint" We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable. By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did support such enhancements when world roaming. Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them. We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed world wide. This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP, and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared upon wiphy registration. I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-07-27iwlwifi: fix up command sendingJohannes Berg
The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess: 1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver and device data in a single packed structure -- this is very confusing 2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a structure by embedding the latter in the former, which is also rather confusing because it leads to weird unions and similarly odd constructs 3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands, even if only 32 end up being used This patch fixes these things: 1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of command metadata and device command separately, in two arrays in each tx queue 2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only put in the required members 3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of embedding them into the txq structure Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-07-24iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendlyReinette Chatre
* Deprecate the "debug50" module parameter used to obtain 5000 series and up debugging. Replace it with "debug" module parameter to match with original driver and be consistent between them. The "debug50" module parameter can still be used, except that the module parameter is not writable in keeping with its previous state. We currently just mark it as "deprecated" and do not have it in the feature-removal-schedule. Some more cleanup of module parameters needs to be done and can then be entered together. * Only make "debug" module parameters visible if the driver is compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG. This will eliminate a lot of confusion where users think they have set debug flags but yet cannot see any debug output. * Make module parameters writable. This eliminates the need for the "debug_level" sysfs file, which can now also be deprecated and added to feature-removal-schedule. This file is in significant use though with many iwlwifi documents and text referring users to it. We can thus not take its removal lightly and keep it around. With iwlcore shared between iwlagn and iwl3945 we really do not need debug module parameters for each but can instead have one debug module parameter for the iwlcore module. The same issue is here as with the sysfs file - a lot of iwlwifi documentation and text (like bug reports) rely on iwlagn and iwl3945 having this module parameter, so changing this to a module parameter of iwlcore will have significant impact and we do not do this for that reason. One consequence of this patch is that if a user is running a system with both 3945 and later hardware then the setting of the one module parameter will affect the value of the other. The likelihood of this seems low - and even if this setup is present it does not seem like an issue for both modules to run with the same debug level.

There are cases where the work may not actually be queued or running at the time we are trying to cancel it, but cancel_delayed_work() is able to deal with this. Also cleanup iwl_set_mode related to this call. This function (iwl_set_mode) is only called when bringing interface up and there will thus not be any scanning done. No need to try to cancel scanning.

2009-04-28wireless: remove unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL the tickles a powerpc compiler bugStephen Rothwell
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c:1415: error: __ksymtab_iwl3945_rx_queue_reset causes a section type conflict I am pretty sure that this is a compiler bug, so not to worry. However, as far as I can see, iwl-3945.o (the only user) and iwl3945-base.o are always linked into the same module, so the EXPORT_SYMBOL (which causes the problem) should not be needed. Correct?

2009-04-22iwlwifi: remove radio disable parameter.Abhijeet Kolekar
Patch removes the "manual radio disable" parameter as there is no usage scenario of disabling radio using this module parameter. User can use iwconfig's txpower to enable and disable radio. This module parameter also does not work as expected. During module load the status of radio is set, the radio is not actually disabled. Even so, the moment mac80211 requests the interface to be up the radio will be enabled again.

2009-04-22iwlwifi: clean up unused NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR for Monitor modeWey-Yi Guy
This patch clean up the code for NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR mode, priv->iw_mode is set in add_interface, but add_interface is never called for monitor mode. The only way mac80211 informs us about monitor mode is through configuring filter; since iw_mode will never set to NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR, modify and remove all the code refer to NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR and replace with iwl_is_monitor_mode() function call.

2009-04-22iwlwifi: support truly passive scanningJohannes Berg
If passive scanning is requested we should not ask the microcode to do active scanning after detecting traffic on a channel -- that should only be used when an active scan is requested but some channels are marked passive.
