rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: fix firmware is not ready to run

2018-07-22T13:16:05+00:00

commit 9a98302de19991d51e067b88750585203b2a3ab6 upstream. Without this patch, firmware will not run properly on rtl8821ae, and it causes bad user experience. For example, bad connection performance with low rate, higher power consumption, and so on. rtl8821ae uses two kinds of firmwares for normal and WoWlan cases, and each firmware has firmware data buffer and size individually. Original code always overwrite size of normal firmware rtlpriv->rtlhal.fwsize, and this mismatch causes firmware checksum error, then firmware can't start. In this situation, driver gives message "Firmware is not ready to run!".

rtlwifi: Fix kernel Oops "Fw download fail!!"

2018-07-22T13:16:04+00:00

commit 12dfa2f68ab659636e092db13b5d17cf9aac82af upstream. When connecting to AP, mac80211 asks driver to enter and leave PS quickly, but driver deinit doesn't wait for delayed work complete when entering PS, then driver reinit procedure and delay work are running simultaneously. This will cause unpredictable kernel oops or crash like rtl8723be: error H2C cmd because of Fw download fail!!!

This patch ensures all delayed works done before entering PS to satisfy our expectation, so use cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead. An exception is delayed work ips_nic_off_wq because running task may be itself, so add a parameter ips_wq to deinit function to handle this case.

rtlwifi: cleanup 8723be ant_sel definition

2018-04-24T10:15:08+00:00

Some HP laptops have only a single wifi antenna. This would not be a problem except that they were shipped with an incorrectly encoded EFUSE. It should have been possible to open the computer and transfer the antenna connection to the other terminal except that such action might void the warranty, and moving the antenna broke the Windows driver. The fix was to add a module option that would override the EFUSE encoding. That was done with commit c18d8f509571 ("rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Add antenna select module parameter"). There was still a problem with Bluetooth coexistence, which was addressed with commit baa170229095 ("rtlwifi: btcoexist: Implement antenna selection"). There were still problems, thus there were commit 0ff78adeef11 ("rtlwifi: rtl8723be: fix ant_sel code") and commit 6d6226928369 ("rtlwifi: btcoexist: Fix antenna selection code"). Despite all these attempts at fixing the problem, the code is not yet right. A proper fix is important as there are now instances of laptops having RTL8723DE chips with the same problem. The module parameter ant_sel is used to control antenna number and path. At present enum ANT_{X2,X1} is used to define the antenna number, but this choice is not intuitive, thus change to a new enum ANT_{MAIN,AUX} to make it more readable. This change showed examples where incorrect values were used. It was also possible to remove a workaround in halbtcoutsrc.c. The experimental results with single antenna connected to specific path are now as follows: ant_sel ANT_MAIN(#1) ANT_AUX(#2) 0 -8 -62 1 -62 -10 2 -6 -60 Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih Fixes: c18d8f509571 ("rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Add antenna select module parameter") Fixes: baa170229095 ("rtlwifi: btcoexist: Implement antenna selection") Fixes: 0ff78adeef11 ("rtlwifi: rtl8723be: fix ant_sel code") Fixes: 6d6226928369 ("rtlwifi: btcoexist: Fix antenna selection code") Cc: Stable # 4.7+ Reviewed-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

headers: untangle kmemleak.h from mm.h

2018-04-06T04:36:27+00:00

Currently #includes for no obvious reason. It looks like it's only a convenience, so remove kmemleak.h from slab.h and add to any users of kmemleak_* that don't already #include it. Also remove from source files that do not use it. This is tested on i386 allmodconfig and x86_64 allmodconfig. It would be good to run it through the 0day bot for other $ARCHes. I have neither the horsepower nor the storage space for the other $ARCHes. Update: This patch has been extensively build-tested by both the 0day bot & kisskb/ozlabs build farms. Both of them reported 2 build failures for which patches are included here (in v2). [ slab.h is the second most used header file after module.h; kernel.h is right there with slab.h. There could be some minor error in the counting due to some #includes having comments after them and I didn't combine all of those. ] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: security/keys/big_key.c needs vmalloc.h, per sfr] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/e4309f98-3749-93e1-4bb7-d9501a39d015@infradead.org Link: http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/head/13396/ Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar Reported-by: Michael Ellerman [2 build failures] Reported-by: Fengguang Wu [2 build failures] Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Wei Yongjun Cc: Luis R.
