commit 2e286947f1294239527c11f9f466ddce6466455b upstream.
The hardware rx filter flag triggered by FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS is overly broad
and covers even frames with PHY errors. When this flag is enabled, this message
shows up frequently during scanning or hardware resets:
ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up
Since promiscuous mode is usually not particularly useful, yet enabled by
default by bridging (either used normally in 4-addr mode, or with hacks
for various virtualization software), we should sacrifice it for better
reliability during normal operation.
This patch leaves it enabled if there are active monitor mode interfaces, since
it's very useful for debugging.

commit ac45c12dfb3f727a5a7a3332ed9c11b4a5ab287e upstream.
There are few places where we are checking for macversion and revsions
before RTC is powered ON. However we are reading the macversion and
revisions only after RTC is powered ON and so both macversion and
revisions are actully zero and this leads to incorrect srev checks
Incorrect srev checks can cause registers to be configured wrongly and can
cause unexpected behavior. Fixing this seems to address the ASPM issue that
we have observed. The laptop becomes very slow and hangs mostly with ASPM L1
enabled without this fix.
fix this by reading the macversion and revisisons even before we start
using them. There is no reason why should we delay reading this info
until RTC is powered on as this is just a register information.

commit 0a8d7cb0c8182df7a28ad719780071178c386f0f upstream.
We need to read and backup AR_WA register value permanently and reading
this after the chip is awakened results in this register being zeroed out.
This seems to fix the ASPM with L1 enabled issue that we have observed.
The laptop becomes very slow and hangs mostly with ASPM L1 enabled without

This is a backport of upstream commit 0f5cd45960173ba5b36727decbb4a241cbd35ef9.
The DMA latency issue is observed only in Intel pinetrail platforms
but in the driver we had a default PM-QOS value of 55. This caused
unnecessary power consumption and battery drain in other platforms.
Remove the pm-qos thing in the driver code and address the throughput
issue in Intel pinetrail platfroms in user space using any one of
the scripts in below links:

commit 5b64aa72ead6f8be488d2be7af579f0d69fb7a6e upstream.
The bit 6 & 7 of AR_WA (0x4004) should be enabled only
for the chips that are supporting L0s functionality
while resuming back from S3/S4.
Enabling these bits for AR9280 is causing system hang
within a few S3/S4-resume cycles.

commit 6f4810101a629b31b5427872a09ea092cfc5c4bd upstream.
AR9003's PAPRD was enabled prematurely, and is causing some
large discrepancies on throughput and network connectivity.
For example downlink (RX) throughput against an AR9280 AP
can vary widlely from 43-73 Mbit/s while disabling this
gets AR9382 (2x2) up to around 93 Mbit/s in a 2.4 GHz HT20 setup.

commit 811ea256b30b37091b5bbf41517404cf98ab56c1 upstream.
The power detector adc offset calibration has to be done
on 4 minutes interval (longcal * pa_skip_count). But the commit
"ath9k_hw: fix a noise floor calibration related race condition"
makes the PA calibration executed more frequently beased on
nfcal_pending value. Running PAOffset calibration lesser than
longcal interval doesn't help anything and the worse part is that
it causes NF load timeouts and RX deaf conditions.
In a very noisy environment, where the distance b/w AP & station
is ~10 meter and running a downlink udp traffic with frequent
background scan causes "Timeout while waiting for nf to load:
AR_PHY_AGC_CONTROL=0x40d1a" and moves the chip into deaf state.
This issue was originaly reported in Android platform where
the network-manager application does bgscan more frequently
on AR9271 chips. (AR9285 family usb device).

commit afe68d0a8f5961652e26cea39d74e2cc820de841 upstream.
ath9k supports its own set of virtual wiphys, and it uses
the mac80211 idle notifications to know when a device needs
to be idle or not. We recently changed ath9k to force idle
on driver stop() and on resume but forgot to take into account
ath9k's own virtual wiphy idle states. These are used internally
by ath9k to check if the device's radio should be powered down
on each idle call. Without this change its possible that the
device could have been forced off but the virtual wiphy idle
was left on.

commit a08e7ade9ddf4fe79576f953cc5c1725e944d26c upstream.
mac80211 will notify drivers when to go idle and ath9k
assumed that it would get further notifications for idle
states after a device stop() config call but as per agreed
semantics the idle state of the radio is left up to driver
after mac80211 issues the stop() callback. The driver is
resposnbile for ensuring the device remains idle after
that even between suspend / resume calls.
This fixes suspend/resume when you issue suspend and resume
twice on ath9k when ath9k_stop() was already called. We need
to put the radio to full sleep in order for resume to work
correctly.
What might seem fishy is we are turning the radio off
after resume. The reason why we do this is because we know
we should not have anything enabled after a mac80211 tells
us to stop(), if we resume and never get a start() we won't
get another stop() by mac80211 so to be safe always bring
the 802.11 device with the radio disabled after resume,
this ensures that if we suspend we already have the radio
disabled and only a start() will ever trigger it on.

The beacon tasklet is accesssing the bslot info for beacon generation.
Meanwhile the same slot can be freed on interface deletion.
Current the remove_interface disables the beacon alert after freeing the slot.
This may leads to null pointer access.
This patch disables SWBA and kills the beacon tasklet to prevent access
to the slot to be freed. After releasing the slot, swba will be enabled again
upon the availablity of beaconing interfaces.

When ath_drain_all_txq fails to stop DMA, it issues a hw reset. This reset
happens at a very problematic point in time, when the hardware rx path has
not been stopped yet. This could lead to memory corruption, hardware hangs
or other issues.
To fix these issues, simply remove the reset entirely and check the tx DMA
stop status to prevent problems with fast channel changes.

It seems that using ath9k_hw_stoppcurecv to stop rx dma is not enough.
When it's time to stop DMA, the PCU is still busy, so the rx enable
bit never clears.
Using ath9k_hw_abortpcurecv helps with getting rx stopped much faster,
with this change, I cannot reproduce the rx stop related WARN_ON anymore.

to Bulk type by firmware, the urb submission done on Bulk pipes.
And the recent commit "check the endpoint type against the pipe type"
added aditional error checking against pipe types under CONFIG_USB_DEBUG.
So bmAttribute has to be updated for both EP3 & EP4 before submitting
urbs on that pipe. This patch resolves the following failure.

Bit 22 of AR_WA should be set to fix the situation where chip reset
is asynchronous to clock of analog shift registers, such that when
reset is released, it could mess up the values of analog shift registers
and cause some hw issue on AR9280.
This bit is write only, but the driver does a read-modify-write
on AR_WA without setting bit 22 in ar9002_hw_configpcipowersave()
during radio disable. This causes surprise removal of hw. It can
never recover from this state and the hw will become usable only
after a power on/off cycle, and sometimes only during a cold reboot.
This issue can be triggered by doing frequent roaming with the
simple/test-roam script available from the wifi-test project [1]
when roaming between APs quickly. When roaming there is a is a high
possibility that the device being put into idle (radio disable) state
by mac80211 during AUTH->ASSOC. A device hardware reset would fail
and the kernel would output:

This is currently only reproducible with some HB92 (Half Mini-PCIE)
cards but the fix applies to all AR9280 cards. This patch fixes this
issue by setting bit 22 during radio disable.
This patch has fixes for all kernels that has ath9k.

ath9k_ps_wakeup() clears the cycle counters after waking up the
hardware using ath9k_hw_setpower, however if power save is disabled,
then the counters will contain useful data, which then gets discarded.
Fix this by checking the old power mode before discarding any data.

The HW opmode is blindly set to monitor type on monitor mode
change notification. This overrides the opmode when one of the
interfaces is still running as non-monitor iftype. So the monitoring
information needs to be maintained seperately.
