2019-04-29ath9k: Differentiate between max combined and per chain powerSven Eckelmann
The ath9k driver uses as maximum allowed txpower the constant MAX_RATE_POWER. It is used to set a maximum txpower limit for the PHY (which is combined txpower) and also the maximum txpower for per chain rates. Its value 63 is derived from the maximum number the registers can store for the per chain txpower. The max txpower a user can set because of this is 31 dBm (floor(63 / 2)). This also means that a device with multiple tx chains is even limited further: * 1 chain: 31 dBm per chain * 2 chains: 28 dBm per chain * 3 chains: 26 dBm per chain This combined txpower limit of 31 dBm becomes even more problematic when some extra antenna gain is set in the EEPROM. A high power device is then no longer able to reach its potential limits. Instead the code dealing with the combined txpower must use a higher limit than 63 and only the code dealing with the per chain txpower have to use the limit of 63. Since the antenna gain can be quite large and 8 bit variables are often used in ath9k for txpower, a large, divisible by two number like 254 is a good choice for this new limit.

2019-01-10ath9k: Avoid OF no-EEPROM quirks without qca,no-eepromDaniel F. Dickinson
ath9k_of_init() function[0] was initially written on the assumption that if someone had an explicit ath9k OF node that "there must be something wrong, why would someone add an OF node if everything is fine"[1] (Quoting Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@googlemail.com>) "it turns out it's not that simple. with your requirements I'm now aware of two use-cases where the current code in ath9k_of_init() doesn't work without modifications"[1] The "your requirements" Martin speaks of is the result of the fact that I have a device (PowerCloud Systems CR5000) has some kind of default - not unique mac address - set and requires to set the correct MAC address via mac-address devicetree property, however: "some cards come with a physical EEPROM chip [or OTP] so "qca,no-eeprom" should not be set (your use-case). in this case AH_USE_EEPROM should be set (which is the default when there is no OF node)"[1] The other use case is: the firmware on some PowerMac G5 seems to add a OF node for the ath9k card automatically. depending on the EEPROM on the card AH_NO_EEP_SWAP should be unset (which is the default when there is no OF node). see [3] After this patch to ath9k_of_init() the new behavior will be: if there's no OF node then everything is the same as before if there's an empty OF node then ath9k will use the hardware EEPROM (before ath9k would fail to initialize because no EEPROM data was provided by userspace) if there's an OF node with only a MAC address then ath9k will use the MAC address and the hardware EEPROM (see the case above) with "qca,no-eeprom" EEPROM data from userspace will be requested. the behavior here will not change [1] Martin provides additional background on EEPROM swapping[1]. Thanks to Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@gmail.com> for all his help on troubleshooting this issue and the basis for this patch.

2017-02-07ath9k: fix race condition in enabling/disabling IRQsFelix Fietkau
The code currently relies on refcounting to disable IRQs from within the IRQ handler and re-enabling them again after the tasklet has run. However, due to race conditions sometimes the IRQ handler might be called twice, or the tasklet may not run at all (if interrupted in the middle of a reset). This can cause nasty imbalances in the irq-disable refcount which will get the driver permanently stuck until the entire radio has been stopped and started again (ath_reset will not recover from this). Instead of using this fragile logic, change the code to ensure that running the irq handler during tasklet processing is safe, and leave the refcount untouched.

2016-12-15ath9k: Introduce airtime fairness scheduling between stationsToke Høiland-Jørgensen
This reworks the ath9k driver to schedule transmissions to connected stations in a way that enforces airtime fairness between them. It accomplishes this by measuring the time spent transmitting to or receiving from a station at TX and RX completion, and accounting this to a per-station, per-QoS level airtime deficit. Then, an FQ-CoDel based deficit scheduler is employed at packet dequeue time, to control which station gets the next transmission opportunity. Airtime fairness can significantly improve the efficiency of the network when station rates vary. The following throughput values are from a simple three-station test scenario, where two stations operate at the highest HT20 rate, and one station at the lowest, and the scheduler is employed at the access point: Before / After Fast station 1: 19.17 / 25.09 Mbps Fast station 2: 19.83 / 25.21 Mbps Slow station: 2.58 / 1.77 Mbps Total: 41.58 / 52.07 Mbps The benefit of airtime fairness goes up the more stations are present. In a 30-station test with one station artificially limited to 1 Mbps, we have seen aggregate throughput go from 2.14 to 17.76 Mbps.

2016-11-15ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues.Toke Høiland-Jørgensen
This switches ath9k over to using the mac80211 intermediate software queueing mechanism for data packets. It removes the queueing inside the driver, except for the retry queue, and instead pulls from mac80211 when a packet is needed. The retry queue is used to store a packet that was pulled but can't be sent immediately. The old code path in ath_tx_start that would queue packets has been removed completely, as has the qlen limit tunables (since there's no longer a queue in the driver to limit). The mac80211 intermediate software queues offer significant latency reductions, and this patch allows ath9k to realise them. The exact gains from this varies with the test scenario, but in an access point scenario we have seen latency reductions ranging from 1/3 to as much as an order of magnitude. We also achieve slightly better aggregation. Median latency (ping) figures with this patch applied at the access point, with two high-rate stations and one low-rate station (HT20 5Ghz), running a Flent rtt_fair_var_up test with one TCP flow and one ping flow going to each station: Fast station Slow station Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 430.4 ms 638.7 ms fq_codel qdisc on iface: 35.5 ms 211.8 ms This patch set: 22.4 ms 38.2 ms Median aggregation sizes over the same test: Default pfifo_fast qdisc: 9.5 pkts 1.9 pkts fq_codel qdisc on iface: 11.2 pkts 1.9 pkts This patch set: 13.9 pkts 1.9 pkts This patch is based on Tim's original patch set, but reworked quite thoroughly.

2016-10-27wireless: deprecate WDS and disable by defaultJohannes Berg
The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g. * no encryption is possible on such links * it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation * management APIs are very restricted These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice. All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support, so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future. Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS. This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code, which is the ultimate goal) in the future.

2016-08-04tree-wide: replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED()Masahiro Yamada
The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous. In practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED(). Using IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc. makes the intention clearer. This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible. This commit is only touching bool config options. I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate option: - config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON) [ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ] - config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE) [ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ] I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN() in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors' intention.

Before p2p find (scan phase) failed with EOPNOTSUPP. Signed-off-by: Janusz Dziedzic <janusz.dziedzic@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>
2015-06-10mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmapJohannes Berg
As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

2015-02-03ath9k: Fix wow init/deinitSujith Manoharan
Registering the card as a wakeup source needs to be done once, during initialization. When the WOW configuration changes, the card's status as wakeup source needs to be changed too and this is done via the set_wakeup() callback. Also, make sure the device is removed properly using ath9k_deinit_wow(). Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>
2015-01-27ath9k and ath9k_htc: rename variable "led_blink"Hong Xu
ath9k and ath9k_htc use the variable name "led_blink" to indicate whether the module parameter "blink" is on. This name is easy to conflict with other variables, and has caused a compiler error found by kbuild test bot. The compiler error is as following: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_htc.o:(.data+0x47c): multiple definition of `led_blink' drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.o:(.bss+0x20): first defined here Fixes: 3a939a671225 ("ath9k_htc: Add a module parameter to disable blink") Reported-by: kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Hong Xu <hong@topbug.net> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>
