wifi: Use kstrtobool() instead of strtobool()

2022-11-08T07:39:04+00:00

strtobool() is the same as kstrtobool(). However, the latter is more used within the kernel. In order to remove strtobool() and slightly simplify kstrtox.h, switch to the other function name. While at it, include the corresponding header file () Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1ff34549af5ad6f7c80d5b9e11872b5499065fc1.1667336095.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr

ath9k: use hw_random API instead of directly dumping into random.c

2022-02-21T10:22:29+00:00

Hardware random number generators are supposed to use the hw_random framework. This commit turns ath9k's kthread-based design into a proper hw_random driver.

ath9k: fix transmitting to stations in dynamic SMPS mode

2021-02-18T06:07:25+00:00

When transmitting to a receiver in dynamic SMPS mode, all transmissions that use multiple spatial streams need to be sent using CTS-to-self or RTS/CTS to give the receiver's extra chains some time to wake up. This fixes the tx rate getting stuck at <= MCS7 for some clients, especially Intel ones, which make aggressive use of SMPS.

ath9k: remove WDS code

2020-11-11T07:39:10+00:00

The ability to reach this code was hidden behind CONFIG_WIRELESS_WDS, which was just removed. Clean up the driver accordingly. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201109105103.e1d48ee20b0a.I89f8af0d50a02ce16a922fa790d6c1908f31a496@changeid Acked-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

ath9k: convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup() API

2020-08-27T10:16:18+00:00

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct tasklet_struct pointer to all tasklet callbacks, switch to using the new tasklet_setup() and from_tasklet() to pass the tasklet pointer explicitly.

ath9k: Switch to mac80211 TXQ scheduling and airtime APIs

2019-02-12T18:44:41+00:00

This moves the ath9k driver to use the mac80211 TXQ scheduling and airtime accounting APIs, removing the corresponding state tracking inside the driver.

ath9k: add back support for using active monitor interfaces for tx99

2018-10-02T04:54:26+00:00

Various documented examples on how to set up tx99 with ath9k rely on setting up a regular monitor interface for setting the channel. My previous patch "ath9k: fix tx99 with monitor mode interface" made it possible to set it up this way again. However, it was removing support for using an active monitor interface, which is required for controlling the bitrate as well, since the bitrate is not passed down with a regular monitor interface. This patch partially reverts the previous one, but keeps support for using a regular monitor interface to keep documented steps working in cases where the bitrate does not matter Fixes: d9c52fd17cb48 ("ath9k: fix tx99 with monitor mode interface") Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

ath9k: fix tx99 with monitor mode interface

2018-08-28T13:45:40+00:00

Tx99 is typically configured via a monitor mode interface, which does not get added to the driver as a vif. Since the code currently expects a configured virtual interface for tx99, enabling tx99 via debugfs fails. Since the vif is not needed anyway, remove all checks for it.

ath9k: use timespec64 for tsf_ts

2018-06-29T11:44:49+00:00

ath9k is the last remaining user of the deprecated getrawmonotonic() interface. There is nothing wrong with this usage, but migrating to a timespec64 based interface lets us clean up the old API. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo
