3747c3eef6 ath9k: detect more kinds of invalid descriptors
If AR_CRCErr, AR_PHYErr, AR_DecryptCRCErr or AR_MichaelErr is indicated
in the rx status word, but AR_RxFrameOK is also set, the descriptor
contents are typically invalid. This can show up as a warning about
invalid MCS rates in a frame. Even with those checks in place, a
descriptor with invalid MCS rates can still sometimes make it through to
the driver (mostly on older hardware like AR91xx).

Detect such errors in the last descriptor of a frame and discard the
whole frame if present.

723e711356 ath9k: fix handling of broken descriptors
As the comment in ath_get_next_rx_buf indicates, if a descriptor with
the done bit set follows one with the done bit cleared, both descriptors
should be discarded, however the driver is not doing that yet.

To fix this, use the rs->rs_more flag as an indicator that the following
frame should be discarded. This also helps with the split buffer case:
if the first part of the frame is discarded, the following parts need to
be discarded as well, since they contain no valid header or usable data.

* synchronize DFS regulatory domain to reg notifyer
* set required RX filter flags for radar detection
* process radar PHY errors at DFS detector
* notify DFS master on radar detection

only after a TSF sync has happened by receiving a beacon from

4ab0b0aa57 ath9k: Update spectral scan output data
The sample data received through the spectral scan can be either in big or
little endian byteorder. This information isn't stored in the output file.
Therefore it is not possible for the analyzer software to find the correct byte
order.

It is relative common to get the data from a low end AP in big endian mode and
transfer it to another computer in little endian mode to analyze it. Therefore,
it would be better to store it in network (big endian) byte order.

The extension of the 8 bit bins for each bin to 16 bit is not necessary. This
operation can be done in userspace or on a different machine. Instead the
max_exp defining the amount of shifting required for each bin is exported to
userspace.

The change of the output format requires a change of the type in the sample
tlv to allow the userspace program to correctly detect the bin format.

463e3ed3ea ath9k: remove sc->rx.rxbuflock to fix a deadlock
The commit "ath9k: fix rx flush handling" added a deadlock that happens
because ath_rx_tasklet is called in a section that has already taken the
rx buffer lock.

It seems that the only purpose of the rxbuflock was a band-aid fix to the
reset vs rx tasklet race, which has been properly fixed in the commit
"ath9k: add a better fix for the rx tasklet vs rx flush race".

Now that the fix is in, we can safely remove the lock to avoid such issues.

4b883f021b ath9k: fix rx flush handling
Right now the rx flush is not doing anything useful on AR9003+, as it only
works if the buffers in the rx FIFO have not been purged yet, as is done
by ath_stoprecv.

To fix this, always call ath_flushrecv from within ath_stoprecv before
the FIFO is emptied, but still after the hw receive path has been stopped.

This ensures that frames received (and ACKed by the hardware) shortly before
a reset will be seen by the software, which should improve A-MPDU session
stability.

e93d083f42 ath9k: add spectral scan feature
Adds the spectral scan feature for ath9k. AR92xx and AR93xx chips
are supported for now. The spectral scan is triggered by configuring
a mode through a debugfs control file. Samples can be gathered via
another relay debugfs file.

Essentially, to try it out:

echo chanscan > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl
iw dev wlan0 scan
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan0 > samples
echo disable > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl

This feature is still experimental.

The special "chanscan" mode is used to perform spectral scan while
mac80211 is scanning for channels. To allow this,
sw_scan_start/complete() ops have been added.

The patch contains code snippets and information from Zefir Kurtisi and
information provided by Adrian Chadd and Felix Fietkau.

e1352fde56 ath9k: fix decrypt_error initialization in ath_rx_tasklet()
ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess() and ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess()
in a loop over the received frames. The decrypt_error flag is
initialized to false
just outside ath_rx_tasklet() loop. ath9k_rx_accept(), called by
ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess(),
only sets decrypt_error to true and never to false.
Then ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess() and passes
decrypt_error to it.
So, after a decryption error, in ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess(), we can
have a leftover value
from another processed frame. In that case, the frame will not be marked with
RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED even if it is decrypted correctly.
When using CCMP encryption this issue can lead to connection stuck
because of CCMP
PN corruption and a waste of CPU time since mac80211 tries to decrypt an already
deciphered frame with ieee80211_aes_ccm_decrypt.
Fix the issue initializing decrypt_error flag at the begging of the
ath_rx_tasklet() loop.

ath9k_hw: fix interpretation of the rx KeyMiss flag

This commit used the rx key miss indication to detect packets that were
passed from the hardware without being decrypted, however it seems that
this bit is not only undefined in the static WEP case, but also for
dynamically allocated WEP keys. This caused a regression when using
WEP-LEAP.

This patch fixes the regression by keeping track of which key indexes
refer to CCMP keys and only using the key miss indication for those.

often picks up BT's tx signal and starts receiving. If the current

also degrades BT performance. Hence lower WLAN rx priority in this
case only when there are no WLAN traffic.

01e189182d ath9k: recover ar9380 chips from rare stuck state
In the experiment with Azimuth ADEPT-n testbed where the APs transmit
power was reduced to 25% and the signal strength was futher attenuated
by 20dB and induced a path loss of ~7dB, the station was reporting
beacon losses and the following issue were observed.

* rx clear is stuck at low for more than 300ms
* dcu chain and complete state is stuck at one of the hang signature

This patch triggers the hang detection logic that recovers the chip
from any of the above conditions. As the issue was originally reported
in ChromeOs with AR9382 chips, this detection logic is enabled only for
AR9380/2 chips.

2ef167557c ath9k: fix signal strength reporting issues
On A-MPDU frames, the hardware only reports valid signal strength data for
the last subframe. The driver also mangled rx_stats->rs_rssi using the
ATH_EP_RND macro in a way that may make sense for ANI, but definitely
not for reporting to mac80211.
This patch changes the code to calculate the signal strength from the rssi
directly instead of taking the average value, and flag everything but
the last subframe in an A-MPDU to tell mac80211 to ignore the signal strength
entirely, fixing signal strength fluctuation issues reported by various

846d936350 ath9k_hw: fix a regression in key miss handling
The commit "ath9k_hw: Fix incorrect key_miss handling" changed the code
to only report key miss errors if a MIC error wasn't reported.
When checking the flags in that order in the MAC code, it might miss some
real events, because the value of the MIC error flag is undefined under
some conditions.

The primary issue addressed by the previous commit is making sure that
MIC errors are properly reported on the STA side. This can be fixed in
a better way by adding a separate rx status flag for key miss and
ignoring it for multicast frames.

This fix slightly improves stability in AP mode on some older hardware,
like AR9132.

Additionally, strip the MIC for all frames that the hardware considers
valid to avoid wasting CPU cycles re-validating it.

Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible

diversity paramaters such as lna1_lna2_delta and fast diversity
bias values. For AR9485 we have some gain table parameter which
selects the gain table 0/1 for main and alternate antenna

deb751880a ath9k: avoid enabling interrupts while processing rx
The assumsion is that while processing ath9k tasklet,
interrupts were already disabled and it will be enabled
at the completion of ath9k tasklet. But whenever TSFOOR is raised,
the driver configures the beacon timers after having received a
beacon frame from the AP which inturn enables the interrupts.

2232d31bf1 ath9k: fix the return value of ath_stoprecv
The patch 'ath9k_hw: fix stopping rx DMA during resets' added code to detect
a condition where rx DMA was stopped, but the MAC failed to enter the idle
state. This condition requires a hardware reset, however the return value
of ath_stoprecv was 'true' in that case, which allowed it to skip the reset
when issuing a fast channel change.

952949738a ath9k: fix too early enabling of rx during ath_startrecv()
rx should only be enabled after enough rx buffers have been given to the
hardware, however ath_rx_buf_link was calling ath9k_hw_rxena after every
single added buffer.
Fix this by calling ath9k_hw_rxena directly from the rx tasklet after
completion instead.

5882da02e9 ath9k_hw: fix stopping rx DMA during resets
During PHY errors, the MAC can sometimes fail to enter an idle state on older
hardware (before AR9380) after an rx stop has been requested.

This typically shows up in the kernel log with messages like these:

ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c:504 ath_stoprecv+0xcc/0xf0 [ath9k]()
Call Trace:
[<8023f0e8>] dump_stack+0x8/0x34

When this happens, the state that the MAC enters is easy to identify and
does not result in bogus DMA traffic, however to ensure a working state
after a channel change, the hardware should still be reset.

This patch adds detection for this specific MAC state, after which the above
warnings completely disappear in my tests.

99e4d43ad5 ath9k: configure beacons based on hw opmode
Current ath9k code does not handle beacon timers on opmode
specific. One such example is that a STA beacon config overwrites
already configured AP vif's beacon timers during scan.

On multi station vif case, configure beacon timers beased
on primary vif selected. This also helps while moving back
to single STA vif from multi STA vifs, where the power save
is enabled and hw has to be reconfigured with proper
beacon and bssid/aid. Otherwise connection poll will be triggered
so frequently due to beacon loss.

2e286947f1 ath9k: remove support for the FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS filter flag
The hardware rx filter flag triggered by FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS is overly broad
and covers even frames with PHY errors. When this flag is enabled, this message
shows up frequently during scanning or hardware resets:

ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up

Since promiscuous mode is usually not particularly useful, yet enabled by
default by bridging (either used normally in 4-addr mode, or with hacks
for various virtualization software), we should sacrifice it for better
reliability during normal operation.

This patch leaves it enabled if there are active monitor mode interfaces, since
it's very useful for debugging.

With this change, less CPU time is spent trying to look for consecutive
pages for rx skbs. This also reduces the socket memory required for IP/UDP
reassembly.
Only two buffers per frame are supported. Frames spanning more buffers
will be dropped, but the buffer size is enough to handle the required
AMSDU size.

4801416c76 ath9k: Fix up hardware mode and beacons with multiple vifs.
When using a mixture of AP and Station interfaces,
the hardware mode was using the type of the
last VIF registered.  Instead, we should keep track
of the number of different types of vifs and set the
mode accordingly.

In addtion, use the vif type instead of hardware opmode
when dealing with beacons.

Attempt to move some of the common setup code into smaller
methods so we can re-use it when changing vif mode as
well as adding/deleting vifs.
