2014-01-04ath9k: Process BB watchdog events in the taskletSujith Manoharan1-8/+6
Move the BB processing code to the tasklet and avoid doing it in the ISR, there is no real benefit and this makes the ISR less heavy. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2014-01-04ath9k: Remove RX PollSujith Manoharan1-7/+0
This patch removes the convoluted and hacky method of monitoring for connectivity. We rely on mac80211's connection loss logic and doing it in the driver is not necessary. The HW check for MAC/BB hangs is also simplified, there is no need to have a separate work instance for it. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2014-01-04ath9k: Fix baseband watchdog interruptsSujith Manoharan1-3/+5
Program the required baseband watchdog interrupt mask to ensure that the correct watchdog interrupts are raised when the BB is hung for some reason.

2013-12-19ath9k: properly preserve TSF across resetFelix Fietkau1-0/+2
The beacon code previously reset TSF on every configuration call, as some of the code was not prepared to properly calculate nexttbtt based on current TSF. This patch adds a common function for calculating nexttbtt and moves the TSF reset to driver start. This should improve AP mode compatibility with various stations that expect the TSF to not randomly jump due to hardware resets. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2013-12-02ath9k: optimize ath9k_flushFelix Fietkau1-21/+25

2013-12-02ath9k: use a timer to put hardware into full sleepFelix Fietkau1-5/+22
When operating in client mode, the short period of time between scanning and associating is often enough to put the hardware through several FULL-SLEEP <-> AWAKE transitions, each wakeup requiring a reset to fully recover the hardware. This is completely unnecessary and can easily be avoided by deferring the switch to full sleep. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2013-12-02ath9k: Fix TX99 config option usageSujith Manoharan1-129/+1
Use CONFIG_ATH9K_TX99 to properly enclose the tx99 code and make sure that it is not compiled as part of the driver when it is not selected. Move the tx99 code to a new file tx99.c and also add ATH9K_DEBUGFS as a dependency in Kconfig. This reduces the module size on platforms like OpenWrt where ATH9K_DEBUGFS is selected, but TX99 might be disabled. Cc: Luis R.

2013-10-18ath9k: add TX99 supportLuis R. Rodriguez1-1/+159
TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing. SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF) absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz. Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the governmental SAR regulations.

2013-06-12ath9k: Fix noisefloor calibrationSujith Manoharan1-7/+0
The commits, "ath9k: Fix regression in channelwidth switch at the same channel" "ath9k: Fix invalid noisefloor reading due to channel update" attempted to fix noisefloor calibration when a channel switch happens due to HT20/HT40 bandwidth change. This is causing invalid readings resulting in messages like: "ath: phy16: NF[0] (-45) > MAX (-95), correcting to MAX". This results in an incorrect noise being used initially for reporting the signal level of received packets, until NF calibration is done and the history buffer is updated via the ANI timer, which happens much later. When a bandwidth change happens, it is appropriate to reset the internal history data for the channel. Do this correctly in the reset() routine by checking the "chanmode" variable.

2013-05-22ath9k: prevent aggregation session deadlocksFelix Fietkau1-1/+2
Waiting for all subframes of an existing aggregation session to drain before allowing mac80211 to start a new one is fragile and deadlocks caused by this behavior have been observed. Since mac80211 has proper synchronization for aggregation session start/stop handling, a better approach to session handling is to simply allow mac80211 to start a new session at any time. This requires changing the code to discard any packets outside of the BlockAck window in the A-MPDU software retry code. This patch implements the above and also simplifies the code.

2013-04-22ath9k: always set common->macaddr to the MAC adress of a virtual interfaceFelix Fietkau1-2/+7
In some cases it can be useful to change the MAC address of a virtual interface to something that's completely different from the EEPROM stored MAC address. In this case it is a bad idea to use the EEPROM MAC address for calculating the BSSID mask, as that would make it too wide. In one case a few devices have been observed to send ACKs for many packets on the channel not directed at them, which results in a neat Denial of Service attack on the channel.
