At the time the .add_interface driver op is called, the interface has not
been marked as running yet, so ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces will
not pass it to the iterator function.
Because of this, the calculated BSSID mask is wrong, which breaks multi-BSS
operation.
Additionally, the current way of comparing all addresses against each other
is pointless, as the hardware only uses the hardware MAC address and the BSSID
mask for matching the destination address, so all the address array
reallocation is completely unnecessary.
This patch simplifies the logic by setting the initial mask bytes to 0xff
and removing all bits in the iterator call that don't match the hardware MAC
address. It also calls the iterator for the vif that was passed to
add_interface()

That isn't all too useful, and some drivers

When the noise floor limits are being bypassed because of strong
interference, sensitivity is also reduced.
In order to recover from this as quickly as possible, trigger a
long periodic calibration every second instead of every 30 seconds,
until the NF median is within limits again. This is especially important
if the interference lasts for a while, since it takes multiple clean
NF calibrations to bring the median back to normal.

The noise floor history buffer is currently not kept per channel, which
can lead to problems when changing channels from a clean channel to a
noisy one. Also when switching from HT20 to HT40, the noise floor
history buffer is full of measurements, but none of them contain data
for the extension channel, which it needs quite a bit of time to recover
from.
This patch puts all the per-channel calibration data into a single data
structure, and gives the the driver control over whether that is used
per-channel or even not used for some channels.
For ath9k_htc, I decided to keep this per-channel in order to avoid
creating regressions.
For ath9k, the data is kept only for the operating channel, which saves
some space. ath9k_hw takes care of wiping old data when the operating
channel or its channel flags change.

Previously the software scan callback was used to indicate to the hardware,
when it was safe to calibrate. This didn't really work properly, because it
depends on a specific order of software scan callbacks vs. channel changes.
Also, software scans are not the only thing that triggers off-channel
activity, so it's better to use the newly added indication from mac80211 for
this and not use the software scan callback for anything calibration related.
This fixes at least some of the invalid noise floor readings that I've seen
in AP mode on AR9160

When issuing two consecutive scans you could often end up

This message is due to a race in mac80211 but addressing
that race requires some more major changes on the driver

this this kernel release so supress the complaint and annotate

There are few places where ANI is started without checking
if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani
timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess
during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with
paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a
chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking
if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled
even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic.
This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani
needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset().
This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen
with ar9003 + paprd.

This adds support for ANI for AR9003. The implementation for
ANI for AR9003 is slightly different than the one used for
the older chipset families. It can technically be used for
the older families as well but this is not yet fully tested
so we only enable the new ANI for the AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002
families with a module parameter, force_new_ani.
The old ANI implementation is left intact.
Details of the new ANI implemention:
* ANI adjustment logic is now table driven so that each ANI level
setting is parameterized. This makes adjustments much more
deterministic than the old procedure based logic and allows
adjustments to be made incrementally to several parameters per
level.
* ANI register settings are now relative to INI values; so ANI
param zero level == INI value. Appropriate floor and ceiling
values are obeyed when adjustments are combined with INI values.
* ANI processing is done once per second rather that every 100ms.
The poll interval is now a set upon hardware initialization and
can be picked up by the core driver.
* OFDM error and CCK error processing are made in a round robin
fashion rather than allowing all OFDM adjustments to be made
before CCK adjustments.
* ANI adjusts MRC CCK off in the presence of high CCK errors
* When adjusting spur immunity (SI) and OFDM weak signal detection,
ANI now sets register values for the extension channel too
* When adjusting FIR step (ST), ANI now sets register for FIR step
low too
* FIR step adjustments now allow for an extra level of immunity for
extremely noisy environments
* The old Noise immunity setting (NI), which changes coarse low, size
desired, etc have been removed. Changing these settings could affect
up RIFS RX as well.
* CCK weak signal adjustment is no longer used
* ANI no longer enables phy error interrupts; in all cases phy hw
counting registers are used instead
* The phy error count (overflow) interrupts are also no longer used
for ANI adjustments. All ANI adjustments are made via the polling
routine and no adjustments are possible in the ISR context anymore
* A history settings buffer is now correctly used for each channel;
channel settings are initialized with the defaults but later
changes are restored when returning back to that channel
* When scanning, ANI is disabled settings are returned to (INI) defaults.
* OFDM phy error thresholds are now 400 & 1000 (errors/second units) for
low/high water marks, providing increased stability/hysteresis when
changing levels.
* Similarly CCK phy error thresholds are now 300 & 600 (errors/second)

Because there is a limited number of tx buffers available, once the
queue has been filled to a certain point, ath9k needs to stop accepting
new frames from mac80211. In order to prevent a full WMM queue from
stopping another queue with fewer frames, this patch limits the number
of queued frames to a quarter of the total available tx buffers, minus
some reserved frames to be used for other purposes (e.g. beacons).
Because tx buffers are reserved for frames when they're staged in
software queues as well, the actual queue depth cannot be used for
this, so this patch stores a reference to the tx queue in the ath_buf
struct and keeps track of the total number of pending frames.

When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that
the traffic may be lost after a while.
The detailed phenomenon is
1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get
into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered
successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally.
2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well,
because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the
broadcast trouble.
It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this
issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet.
I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k.
The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and
associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware
supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160.
Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems
to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.

We use the ieee80211_hw for radio enable/disable but the wrong
structure hw was being used in consideration for virtual wiphys
as each virtual wiphy has its own ieee80211_hw struct.
Just pass the hw struct to ensure we use the right one. This should
fix the hw used and passed for radio enable/disable. This includes
the stoping / starting of the software TX queues so mac80211 doesn't
send us data for a specific virtual wiphy. ath9k already takes care
of pausing virtual wiphys and stopping the respective queues on its
own, but this should handle the idle mac80211 conf calls as well.

The way idle configuration detection was implemented as
busted due to the fact that it assumed the ath9k virtual wiphy,
the aphy, would be marked as inactive if it was not used but
it turns out an aphy is always active if its the only wiphy
present. We need to distinguish between aphy activity and
idleness so we now add an idle bool for the aphy and mark
it as such based on the passed IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE
from mac80211.
Previous to all_wiphys_idle would never be true when using
only one device so we never really were using
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE -- we never turned the radio
off or on upon IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE changes as radio
changes depended on all_wiphys_idle being true either to
turn the radio on or off. Since it was always false for
one device this code was doing nothing.

We disable ASPM when enabling bluetooth coexistance. Disabling
ASPM is a bus specific operation. In the future other buses may
support bluetooth coexistance, an example is USB. To this end
move the current routine which disables ASPM into pci.c, and declare
it the PCI bt_coex_prep() helper. Additionally, since ASPM is
a PCI-Express primitive ensure we don't ever try to muck with ASPM
registers on non PCI-express devices.
This also cleans up hw.c to not include bus specific headers or

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.
A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
