2014-09-14carl9170: fix sending URBs with wrong type when using full-speedRonald Wahl2-4/+28
commit 671796dd96b6cd85b75fba9d3007bcf7e5f7c309 upstream. The driver assumes that endpoint 4 is always an interrupt endpoint. Unfortunately the type differs between high-speed and full-speed configurations while in the former case it is indeed an interrupt endpoint this is not true for the latter case - here it is a bulk endpoint. When sending URBs with the wrong type the kernel will generate a warning message including backtrace. In this specific case there will be a huge amount of warnings which can bring the system to freeze. To fix this we are now sending URBs to endpoint 4 using the type found in the endpoint descriptor. A side note: The carl9170 firmware currently specifies endpoint 4 as interrupt endpoint even in the full-speed configuration but this has no relevance because before this firmware is loaded the endpoint type is as described above and after the firmware is running the stick is not reenumerated and so the old descriptor is used.

2012-03-12carl9170: fix frame delivery if sta is in powersave modeChristian Lamparter1-3/+5
commit 9926a67557532acb6cddb1c1add02952175b5c72 upstream. Nicolas Cavallari discovered that carl9170 has some serious problems delivering data to sleeping stations. It turns out that the driver was not honoring two important flags (IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE and IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT) which are set on frames that should be sent although the receiving station is still in powersave mode.

2012-03-12carl9170: Fix memory accounting when sta is in power-save mode.Nicolas Cavallari1-0/+1
commit 992d52529d7840236d3059b51c15d5eb9e81a869 upstream. On Access Point mode, when transmitting a packet, if the destination station is in powersave mode, we abort transmitting the packet to the device queue, but we do not reclaim the allocated memory. Given enough packets, we can go in a state where there is no packet on the device queue, but we think the device has no memory left, so no packet gets transmitted, connections breaks and the AP stops working. This undo the allocation done in the TX path when the station is in power-save mode.

2011-11-02carl9170: fix AMPDU TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS handlingChristian Lamparter1-4/+7
Previously the driver did not care if TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS was set on aggregated frames or not and it would silently drop successfully sent frames if possible [much like: "no news is good news!"]. But, TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS was invented for a reason and no tx status report should ever be dropped if it is set.

2011-05-05carl9170: fix allmulticast modeNicolas Cavallari1-1/+1
Currently, the driver only disable multicast filtering when the FIF_ALLMULTI driver flag has been just set (ie, if changed_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI and *new_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI) or else it will reenable multicast filtering. But next time, this condition will be false and multicast filtering will be reenabled, even through FIF_ALLMULTI is still set. This mean that allmulticast only works for less than two minutes in ad-hoc mode. This patch fixes that to disable multicast filtering as long as FIF_ALLMULTI is set.

2011-02-25mac80211: make tx() operation return voidJohannes Berg2-4/+3
The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211. Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the old "return -1" there was wrong.

2011-01-19mac80211: track receiver's aggregation reorder buffer sizeJohannes Berg1-1/+1
The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0 instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it isn't possible to honour this request. In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That way the driver can limit the number of subframes in aggregates appropriately. Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the addition of the new argument -- they all need to be updated separately to use this variable!
