* carl9170: Fix mismatch in carl9170_op_set_key mutex lock-unlockAlexey Khoroshilov2011-10-031-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 66cb54bd24086b2d871a03035de9b0e79b2b725e upstream. If is_main_vif(ar, vif) reports that we have to fall back to software encryption, we goto err_softw; before locking ar->mutex. As a result, we have unprotected call to carl9170_set_operating_mode and unmatched mutex_unlock. The patch fix the issue by adding mutex_lock before goto.

* carl9170: fix allmulticast modeNicolas Cavallari2011-05-051-1/+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.

* carl9170: improve unicast PS bufferingChristian Lamparter2011-04-261-86/+6

* carl9170: Fix tx aggregation problems with some clientsChristian Lamparter2011-03-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients carl9170 should set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to generate a BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU subframe fails. This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe others as well). Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | "mac80211 will properly assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing."

* mac80211: track receiver's aggregation reorder buffer sizeJohannes Berg2011-01-191-1/+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!

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RX Stress tests of unidirectional bulk traffic with bitrates of up to 220Mbit/s have revealed that the fatal-event recovery logic [which was solely triggered by an out-of-rx-buffer situation] is too aggressive. The new method now "pings" the device and then decides - based on the response - whenever a restart is needed or not.

* carl9170: support firmware-based rx filterChristian Lamparter2010-10-051-2/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn. Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were left with the job of filtering. This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive in terms of latency, memory and load. Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check, RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible. Note: This patch also includes all changes to the shared headers files since the inclusion. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | tx_ampdu_upload was not decreased when an a-MPDU frame had to be kicked out from the tx_pending queues.
