* iwlwifi: move ucode error log reporting to op_modeMeenakshi Venkataraman2012-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Error log reporting does not belong to the transport layer, but to the op_mode loading the ucode, as it is the entity which knows about the ucode loaded, and what the error information means. Move device logging pointers from the transport layer to op_mode. With this change, transport layer only reports an error to the op_mode, which will figure out what to do with the error. This causes the driver to now dump out error logs when the command queue is stuck as well. Also, move the debugfs entry for event logs out of the transport layer and into op_mode.

* iwlwifi: move queue mapping out of transportJohannes Berg2012-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The queue mapping is not only dynamic, it is also dependent on the uCode, as we can already see today with the dual-mode and non-dual-mode being different. Move the queue mapping out of the transport layer and let the higher layer manage it. Part of the transport configuration is how to set up the queues.

* iwlwifi: simplify calibration collectionJohannes Berg2012-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The calibration results all come in while we're waiting for the calibration complete notification. As a consequence, there's no need to install a global RX handler for them, we can use the newly extended notification wait framework for this and make the code easier to follow. It is now quite explicit that we are processing the calibration results while waiting for the complete notification, before this was implicit and developers had to know this to understand why we wait for the calibration complete notification and what happens while we wait.

* iwlwifi: extend notification waitJohannes Berg2012-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes, for example when we ask the uCode for calibration, we wait for the "complete" response while we also need the results that are sent in other, interim, notifications. Currently we handle this by installing an RX handler globally, but that isn't needed as this is the only time we want to use these notifications. So in order to be able to simplify at least future code that does the same, extend the notification wait framework to allow you to wait for multiple commands and decide based on the command whether the wait finished. While at it, also fix a race that can then become relevant -- if the wait function has returned true once it shouldn't be called again, today this can happen due to races between the triggering and the wakeup.

* iwlwifi: process multiple frames per RXBJohannes Berg2012-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The flow handler (hardware) can put multiple frames into a single RX buffer. To handle this, walk the RX buffer and check if there are multiple valid packets in it. To let the upper layer handle this correctly introduce rxb_offset() which is needed when we pass pages to mac80211 -- we need to know the offset into the page there. Also change the page handling scheme to use refcounting. Anyone who needs a page will "steal" it, which marks it as having been used & refcounts it. The RX handler then has to free its own reference and must not reuse the page. Finally, do not set the bit asking the FH to give us each packet in a single buffer. This really enables the feature.

* rtlwifi: Preallocate USB read buffers and eliminate kalloc in read routineLarry Finger2012-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When _usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775. The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync() by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.

* p54usb: Load firmware asynchronouslyLarry Finger2012-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers that load firmware from their probe routine have problems with the latest versions of udev as they get timeouts while waiting for user space to start. The problem is fixed by using request_firmware_nowait() and delaying the start of mac80211 until the firmware is loaded. To prevent the possibility of the driver being unloaded while the firmware loading callback is still active, a completion queue entry is used. Also, to simplify the firmware loading procedure, this patch removes the old, unofficial and confusing fallback firmware names. However, they are still supported! So any user - who is still using them - is hereby advised to link/rename their old firmware filenames: isl3890usb to isl3886usb isl3887usb_bare to isl3887usb Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parametersRajkumar Manoharan2012-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch improves ANI operations by switching among the immunity levels based on PHY errors and beacon rssi which will adjust receiver desensitizing parameters. The changes are * Configure the Weak Signal Detection based on current immunity value. * At highest OFDM immunity level poor performance was observed with strong interference. By tuning the FIR step and spur immunity levels and not changing any weak signal detection thresholds at any level helped to improve the performance. * ANI took long time to recover back to lower immunity levels on heavy data load. As the listen time got reset to zero before reaching to the 5x of aniperiod, the immunity level is not lowering back even without any interference. This patch fix that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we have downlink traffic alone and the station is going thru bgscan, the client is out of operating channel for around 1000ms which is too long. The mac80211 decides when to switch back to oper channel based on tx queue, bad latency and listen time. As the station does not have tx traffic, the bgscan can easily affect downlink throughput. By reducing the listen time, it helps the associated AP to retain the downstream rate.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the connection stability in congested networks.

| * | net: add a truesize parameter to skb_add_rx_frag()Eric Dumazet2012-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | skb_add_rx_frag() API is misleading. Network skbs built with this helper can use uncharged kernel memory and eventually stress/crash machine in OOM. Add a 'truesize' parameter and then fix drivers in followup patches.

Code to create int_name_<foo> is obscure, simplify it by using sprintf. Found by looking for unnecessary \ line continuations.

| | * vhost: don't forget to schedule()Nadav Har'El2012-02-28

Vhost's worker thread only called schedule() when it had no work to do, and it wanted to go to sleep. But if there's always work to do, e.g., the guest is running a network-intensive program like netperf with small message sizes, schedule() was *never* called. This had several negative implications (on non-preemptive kernels): 1. Passing time was not properly accounted to the "vhost" process (ps and top would wrongly show it using zero CPU time). 2. Sometimes error messages about RCU timeouts would be printed, if the core running the vhost thread didn't schedule() for a very long time. 3. Worst of all, a vhost thread would "hog" the core. If several vhost threads need to share the same core, typically one would get most of the CPU time (and its associated guest most of the performance), while the others hardly get any work done. The trivial solution is to add if (need_resched()) schedule(); After doing every piece of work. This will not do the heavy schedule() all the time, just when the timer interrupt decided a reschedule is warranted (so need_resched returns true). Thanks to Abel Gordon for this patch.
