2011-11-11iwlagn: do not use interruptible waitsJohannes Berg
Upstream commit effd4d9aece9184f526e6556786a94d335e38b71. Since the dawn of its time, iwlwifi has used interruptible waits to wait for synchronous commands and firmware loading. This leads to "interesting" bugs, because it can't actually handle the interruptions; for example when a command sending is interrupted it will assume the command completed fully, and then leave it pending, which leads to all kinds of trouble when the command finishes later. Since there's no easy way to gracefully deal with interruptions, fix the driver to not use interruptible waits. This at least fixes the error iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Error: Response NULL in 'REPLY_SCAN_ABORT_CMD' I have seen in P2P testing, but it is likely that there are other errors caused by this.

2011-10-03iwlagn: fix dangling scan requestJohannes Berg
commit 6c80c39d9a6986a566c30d797aae37bfb697eea3 upstream. If iwl_scan_initiate() fails for any reason, priv->scan_request and priv->scan_vif are left dangling. This can lead to a crash later when iwl_bg_scan_completed() tries to run a pending scan request. In practice, this seems to be very rare due to the STATUS_SCANNING check earlier. That check, however, is wrong -- it should allow a scan to be queued when a reset/roc scan is going on. When a normal scan is already going on, a new one can't be issued by mac80211, so that code can be removed completely. I introduced this bug when adding off-channel support in commit 266af4c745952e9bebf687dd68af58df553cb59d.

2011-10-03iwlagn: workaround bug crashing some APsDon Fry
commit 2249b011432ca3dcce112f0f71e0f531b4bb9347 upstream. This patch reverts commit 9b7688328422b88a7a15dc0dc123ad9ab1a6e22d which was introduced in 2.6.38-rc1. It works around a problem where the iwlagn driver stimulates a bug crashing (requiring power cycle to recover) some APs under heavy traffic.

commit 282cdb325aea4ebbc42ce753b47cc96145eb54bc upstream. If the command queue is constantly busy, which can happen in P2P, the hangcheck timer will frequently find a command in it and will eventually reset the device because nothing sets the timestamp for this queue when commands are processed.

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about 5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.

2011-05-13iwlagn: support multiple TBs per commandJohannes Berg
The current "huge" command handling is a bit confusing, and very limited since only one command may be huge at a time. Additionally, we often copy data around quite pointlessly since we could instead map the existing scan buffer for example and use it directly. This patch makes that possible. The first change is that multiple buffers may be given to each command (this change was prepared earlier so callsites don't need to change). Each of those can be mapped attached to a TB in the TFD, and the command header can use a TB (the first one) in the TFD as well. Doing this allows getting rid of huge commands in favour of mapping existing buffers. The beacon transmission is also optimised to not copy the SKB at all but use multiple TBs.

2011-05-10iwlagn: fix iwl_is_any_associatedJohannes Berg
The function iwl_is_any_associated() was intended to check both contexts, but due to an oversight it only checks the BSS context. This leads to a problem with scanning since the passive dwell time isn't restricted appropriately and a scan that includes passive channels will never finish if only the PAN context is associated since the default dwell time of 120ms won't fit into the normal 100 TU DTIM interval. Fix the function by using for_each_context() and also reorganise the other functions a bit to take advantage of each other making the code easier to read.

2011-05-06iwlwifi: support the svtool messages interactions through nl80211 test modeCindy H. Kao
This patch adds the feature to support the test mode operation through the generic netlink channel NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE between intel wireless device iwlwifi and the user space application svtool. The main purpose is to create a transportation layer between the iwlwifi device and the user space application so that the interaction between the user space application svtool and the iwlwifi device in the kernel space is in a way of generic netlink messaging. The detail specific functions are: 1. The function iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to digest the svtool test command from the user space application. The svtool test commands are categorized to three types : commands to be processed by the device ucode, commands to access the registers, and commands to be processed at the driver level(such as reload the ucode). iwl_testmode_cmd() dispatches the commands the corresponding handlers and reply to user space regarding the command execution status. Extra data is returned to the user space application if there's any. 2. The function iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is added to multicast all the spontaneous messages from the iwlwifi device to the user space. Regardless the message types, whenever there is a valid spontaneous message received by the iwlwifi ISR, iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is invoked to multicast the message content to user space. The message content is not attacked and the message parsing is left to the user space application. Implementation guidelines: 1. The generic netlink messaging for iwliwif test mode is through NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE channel, therefore, the codes need to follow the regulations set by cfg80211.ko to get the actual device instance ieee80211_ops via cfg80211.ko, so that the iwlwifi device is indicated with ieee80211_ops and can be actually accessed. Therefore, a callback iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to the structure iwlagn_hw_ops in iwl-agn.c. 2. It intends to utilize those low level device access APIs from iwlwifi device driver (ie. iwlagn.ko) rather than creating it's own set of device access functions. For example, iwl_send_cmd(), iwl_read32(), iwl_write8(), and iwl_write32() are reused. 3. The main functions are maintained in new files instead of spreading all over the existing iwlwifi driver files. The new files added are : drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sv-open.c - to handle the user space test mode application command and reply the respective command status to the user space application. - to multicast the spontaneous messages from device to user space. drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-testmode.h - the commonly referenced definitions for the TLVs used in the generic netlink messages Signed-off-by: Cindy H.

2011-04-30iwlagn: prefer BSS contextJohannes Berg
If an interface type changes from a type that is only supported on the PAN context (e.g. P2P GO) to a type that is supported on the BSS context, and the BSS context is not in use, then we need to use the BSS context instead of changing the device type within the context. To achieve this, refuse the type change, which causes a down/up cycle that will allocate the BSS context for the interface.
