2015-06-10mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmapJohannes Berg1-12/+10
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.

2015-04-07rtlwifi: Add encryption argument in rtl_is_special_data for checking DHCP ↵Taehee Yoo1-2/+5
packet. rtl8192cu can't connect to AP after physical reconnect. according to dmesg, that problem's cause was DHCP timeout. rtl_is_special_data function checks packet type for adjusting rate. when that function is called from _rtl_rc_get_highest_rix, it can not calculate offset correctly. so i add argument is_encn in rtl_is_special_data. is_enc variable mean that iv header is added in skb parameter. i test only rtl8192cu chipset. because i doesn't have other rtlwifi chipsets.

2015-03-03rtlwifi: Improve handling of IPv6 packetsLarry Finger1-2/+5
Routine rtl_is_special_data() is supposed to identify packets that need to use a low bit rate so that the probability of successful transmission is high. The current version has a bug that causes all IPv6 packets to be labelled as special, with a corresponding low rate of transmission. A complete fix will be quite intrusive, but until that is available, all IPv6 packets are identified as regular. This patch also removes a magic number.

2013-11-11rtlwifi: Fix endian error in extracting packet typeMark Cave-Ayland1-52/+41
All of the rtlwifi drivers have an error in the routine that tests if the data is "special". If it is, the subsequant transmission will be at the lowest rate to enhance reliability. The 16-bit quantity is big-endian, but was being extracted in native CPU mode. One of the effects of this bug is to inhibit association under some conditions as the TX rate is too high. Based on suggestions by Joe Perches, the entire routine is rewritten. One of the local headers contained duplicates of some of the ETH_P_XXX definitions. These are deleted.

2013-07-19rtlwifi: Fix build errors for unusual casesLarry Finger1-3/+16
The present build configuration for the rtlwifi family of drivers will fail under two known conditions: (1) If rtlwifi is selected without selecting any of the dependent drivers, there are errors in the build. (2) If the PCI drivers are built into the kernel and the USB drivers are modules, or vice versa, there are missing globals. The first condition is fixed by never building rtlwifi unless at least one of the device drivers is selected. The second failure is fixed by splitting the PCI and USB codes out of rtlwifi, and creating their own mini drivers. If the drivers that use them are modules, they will also be modules. Although a number of files are touched by this patch, only Makefile and Kconfig have undergone significant changes. The only modifications to the other files were to export entry points needed by the new rtl_pci and rtl_usb units, or to rename two variables that had names that were likely to cause namespace collisions.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree.

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg1-4/+3
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

2013-02-05rtlwifi: Fix scheduling while atomic bugLarry Finger1-3/+4
Kernel commits 41affd5 and 6539306 changed the locking in rtl_lps_leave() from a spinlock to a mutex by doing the calls indirectly from a work queue to reduce the time that interrupts were disabled. This change was fine for most systems; however a scheduling while atomic bug was reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903881. The backtrace indicates that routine rtl_is_special(), which calls rtl_lps_leave() in three places was entered in atomic context.

This patch addresses a kernel bugzilla report and two recent mail threads. The kernel bugzilla report is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42632, which reports a udev timeout on boot. The first mail thread, which was on LKML (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/ linux/kernel/1112.3/00965.html) was for a WARNING that occurs after a suspend/resume cycle for rtl8192cu. The scond mail thread (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=132655490826766&w=2) concerned changes in udev that break drivers that delay while firmware is loaded on modprobe. This patch converts all rtlwifi-based drivers to use the asynchronous firmware loading mechanism. Drivers rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu and rtl8192de share a common callback routine. Driver rtl8192se needs different handling of the firmware, thus it has its own code. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Cc: Stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

When I tested commit 6539306, I did not notice that loading an out-of-tree module turns off lockdep testing in kernel 3.2. For that reason, I missed the kernel WARNING shown below: The solution fixes the warning by partially reverting commit 6539306.

2011-12-14rtlwifi: merge ips,lps spinlocks into one mutexStanislaw Gruszka1-2/+1
With previous patch "rtlwifi: use work for lps" we can now use mutex for protecting ps mode changing critical sections. This fixes running system with interrupts disabled for long time. Merge ips_lock and lps_lock as they seems to protect the same data structures (accessed in rtl_ps_set_rf_state() function).

2011-11-22rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix endianian issuesLarry Finger1-3/+3
Driver rtlwifi fails on a big-endian host. These changes have been tested on a Mac PowerBook G4, which has a PPC processor. Although this patch touches some of the code that will affect endian issues on PCI hardware through drivers rtl8192ce, rtl8192se, and rtl8192de, these have not been tested due to lack of suitable hardware.
