rtlwifi: rtl818x: Move drivers into new realtek directory

2015-10-14T10:33:10+00:00

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted, it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are visable to the user. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

rtlwifi: Remove the clear interrupt routine from all drivers

2015-05-26T10:58:47+00:00

Several of these drivers have there TX randomly blocked for 3~5 seconds while measuring tx throughput (iperf). The root couse happens in rtl_pci_flush(). The function uses a while-loop to wait for TX queue length to decrease to 0. The TX queue length counts the number of packets that are queued in the driver. The driver relys on the TX OK interrupt to return skb and reduce TX queue length. The interrupt subroutine disables interupts, reads the interrupt registers, and then clears the registers in the beginning of _rtl_pci_interrupt(). After all interupts process are finished, the driver invokes enable_interrupt() to enable interupts. This behavior is normal for an interrupt subroutine. But enable_interrupt() invokes clear_interrupt() again. This unexpected interrupt clearing may cleari me fresh TX OK interrupts. These missing interrupts cause TX queue length to never reduce to 0i, which causes rtl_pci_flush() to be stuck in unterminated while-loop. This patch removes clear_interrupt() in enable_interrupt() to avoid this behavior.

rtlwifi: Change REG_CR+2 to MSR

2015-03-30T08:30:07+00:00

I changed REG_CR+2 and (MSR) to MSR because MSR is defined as (REG_CR + 2). Signed-off-by: Taehee Yoo Acked-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

rtlwifi: Clear ACM_CTRL AC3_VO bit correctly

2015-02-26T13:16:45+00:00

All hw driver components in the rtlwifi driver, except for the rtl8192de component has this bug. They would clear BE bit in the ACM_CTRL register instead of the VO bit when processing the VO queue. Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Update driver to match Realtek release of 06/28/14

2014-09-30T17:17:15+00:00

This patch updates the driver to match the latest Realtek release, and it is an important step in getting the internal code source at Realtek to match the code in the kernel. The primary reason for this is to make it easier for Realtek to maintain the kernel source without requiring an intermediate like me. In this process of merging the two source repositories, there are a lot of changes in both, and this commit is rather large. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
