2012-02-03mwifiex: handle association failure case correctlyAmitkumar Karwar1-1/+7
Currently even if association is failed "iw link" shows some information about connected BSS and "Tx timeout" error is seen in dmesg log. This patch fixes below issues in the code to handle assoc failure case correctly. 1) "status" variable in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() is not correctly updated. Hence driver doesn't inform cfg80211 stack about association failure. 2) During association network queues are stopped but carrier is not cleared, which gives Tx timeout error in failure case Signed-off-by: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-01-03mwifiex: fix crash during simultaneous scan and connectAmitkumar Karwar1-1/+6
If 'iw connect' command is fired when driver is already busy in serving 'iw scan' command, ssid specific scan operation for connect is skipped. In this case cmd wait queue handler gets called with no command in queue (i.e. adapter->cmd_queued = NULL). This patch adds a NULL check in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() routine to fix crash observed during simultaneous scan and assoc operations.

2011-12-22mwifiex: fix issues in band configuration codeAmitkumar Karwar2-30/+20
Currently due to following issues in the code even if device is configured in B only, G only or BG mode using iw bitrates command, ibss is getting created in BGN mode. 1) mwifiex_channels_to_cfg80211_channel_type() routine gives channel type as NL80211_CHAN_HT20 for non-HT channel as well, because driver doesn't store HT information provided by stack for the channel. This issue is fixed by maintaining channel type information in 'adapter->channel_type'. 2) Band configuration is unnecessarily overwritten with BGN/AN while setting channel. This patch makes sure that "adapter->config_bands" correctly gets modified while setting channel.

2011-12-14mwifiex: remove cfg_workqueueAmitkumar Karwar6-158/+75
cfg_workqueue was added to notify cfg80211 that scan, connect or disconnect is done by calling respective completion handlers. We can avoid use of this workqueue by calling those handlers from other places. 1) Call connect, disconnect completion handlers in their callback functions. ex. Call cfg80211_connect_result() in mwifiex_cfg80211_connect() 2) Call scan completion handler after parsing response of last scan command in a queue. After removing the workqueue, variables (assoc_request etc.) and checks used for mutual exclusion become redundant. Those are also removed in this patch.

2011-11-11mwifiex: remove unnecessary free_priv handlerAmitkumar Karwar1-6/+0
Cfg80211 stack allocates private area for driver use in struct cfg80211_bss. It will be freed by stack in bss_release(). Driver don't need to worry about it. In mwifiex driver, we use the private area just to store band information(u8). We don't allocate memory explicitly and store it's pointer in bss->priv. Hence we don't have any cleanup work to do in free_priv handler. Currently we try to free the allocated private area in free_priv handler which is not correct.

2011-10-14mwifiex: use separate wait condition for each command nodeAmitkumar Karwar7-19/+33
Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition) is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver command time out is seen for INIT command. This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag (scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.
