Stanislaw Gruszka b25026981a iwlwifi: fix skb usage after free
Since

commit a120e912eb
Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Feb 19 15:47:33 2010 -0800

    iwlwifi: sanity check before counting number of tfds can be free

we use skb->data after calling ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe(), which
could free skb instantly.

On current kernels I do not observe practical problems related with
bug, but on 2.6.35.y it cause random system hangs when stressing
wireless link.

Daniel Halperin d0eb633431 iwlwifi: cleanup and bugfix tx aggregation code
Since the driver split, there's no need for no_agg_framecnt_info since
all devices have this set to false. Secondly, the compressed block ack
handling code was broken. Fix this.

(1) A shift less than zero simply implies that the buffer wrapped, this
is expected. Remove the incorrect comment.

(2) The (agg->frame_count > (64-sh)) condition can happen if the last
frame is dropped. E.g., if I send 7 frames and the 6th is received but
the 7th is lost, the other side may only shift the window 6, not 7
frames since the last bit is a 0. This is perfectly fine behavior and
doesn't invalidate the feedback.

(3) Store the feedback from a Compressed BA in the first newly received
frame, rather than the start of the window. This way it will get
processed by the rate selection code. Feedback stored in a non-received
frame is likely to get overwritten by the retransmission.
    This is based on the approach taken by minstrel_ht.

Stanislaw Gruszka 387f3381f7 iwlwifi: fix dma mappings and skbs leak
Since commit commit 470058e0ad
"iwlwifi: avoid Tx queue memory allocation in interface down" we do

Johannes Berg 2e34034e8c iwlagn: fix station powersave accounting for aggregation
Since aggregation queues are station-specific, the
device will not reject packets in them but rather
will stop the appropriate aggregation queues when
a station goes to sleep. I forgot to account for
this in the driver, so if a station went to sleep
that had aggregation enabled, traffic would stop
indefinitely.

Fix this by only accounting frames queued on the
normal AC queues for associated station.

Traces show RTS-CTS is exchanged and then the timer fires which causes an

printk. Only print the message if the bitmap is non-zero.

 - Antenna Coupling is more than 35dB
 - WiFi Channel Inhibition Request is hornored by BT Core

Currently, there is no antenna coupling information provided by uCode;
use module parameter to specified the antenna coupling in dB.

When in "full concurrency" mode, driver need to download different LUT
to uCode while sending bt configuration command; also, driver need to

Johannes Berg 94597ab23e iwlagn: fix rts cts protection
Currently the driver will try to protect all frames,
which leads to a lot of odd things like sending an
RTS with a zeroed RA before multicast frames, which
is clearly bogus.

In order to fix all of this, we need to take a step
back and see what we need to achieve:
 * we need RTS/CTS protection if requested by
   the AP for the BSS, mac80211 tells us this
 * in that case, CTS-to-self should only be
   enabled when mac80211 tells us
 * additionally, as a hardware workaround, on
   some devices we have to protect aggregated
   frames with RTS

To achieve the first two items, set up the RXON
accordingly and set the protection required flag
in the transmit command when mac80211 requests
protection for the frame.

To achieve the last item, set the rate-control
RTS-requested flag for all stations that we have
aggregation sessions with, and set the protection
required flag when sending aggregated frames (on
those devices where this is required).

Since otherwise bugs can occur, do not allow the
user to override the RTS-for-aggregation setting
from sysfs any more.

Finally, also clean up the way all these flags get
set in the driver and move everything into the
device-specific functions.

The flow id (scd_flow) in a compressed BA packet should match the txq_id
of the queue from which the aggregated packets were sent. However, in
some hardware like the 1000 series, sometimes the flow id is 0 for the
txq_id (10 to 19). This can cause the annoying message:

index 5, is out of range [0-256] 7 7.

And even worse, if agg->wait_for_ba is true when the bad BA is arriving,
this can cause system hang due to NULL pointer dereference because the
code is operating in a wrong tx queue!

that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission;

include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed
BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the
semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame
is seq 2).

The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of
the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets,
maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the
bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This
flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly
underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as
well as driver and uCode.

Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through
all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed.

In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput
stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in
aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g.,

Johannes Berg ff0d91c3ee iwlwifi: reduce memory allocation
Currently, the driver allocates up to 19 skb pointers
for each TFD, of which we have 256 per queue. This
means that for each TX queue, we allocate 19k/38k
(an order 4 or 5 allocation on 32/64 bit respectively)
just for each queue's "txb" array, which contains only
the SKB pointers.

However, due to the way we use these pointers only the
first one can ever be assigned. When the driver was
initially written, the idea was that it could be
passed multiple SKBs for each TFD and attach all
those to implement gather DMA. However, due to
constraints in the userspace API and lack of TCP/IP
level checksumming in the device, this is in fact not
possible. And even if it were, the SKBs would be
chained, and we wouldn't need to keep pointers to
each anyway.

Change this to only keep track of one SKB per TFD,
and thereby reduce memory consumption to just one
pointer per TFD, which is an order 0 allocation per
transmit queue.

Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: use the DMA state API instead of the pci equivalents

This replace the PCI DMA state API (include/linux/pci-dma.h) with the
DMA equivalents since the PCI DMA state API will be obsolete.

No functional change.

There's a single use of this struct member, but
as it is write-only it clearly not necessary.
Thus we can free up some space here, even if we
don't need it right now it seems pointless to
carry around the variable.

Reinette Chatre 9c5ac091b2 iwlwifi: fix and add missing sta_lock usage
There are a few places where sta_lock is used, but the
station information protected by it is accessed outside
of the lock. Address this in two ways, if the access
won't sleep then just move the access into the lock, if
the access can sleep then copy the needed station
information to the stack to be accessed without risk of
it changing while access in progress.

Additionally, a number of other places access station
station information without holding the sta_lock, fix
those as well.

There are now five places where we need to
look up the station ID, but the sta pointer
may be NULL due to mac80211 passing that to
indicate a certain special state.

Replace all these by a new inline function,
called iwl_sta_id_or_broadcast(), and add
documentation about when to use it.

With the station ID being stored in the

Johannes Berg 2a87c26bbe iwlwifi: use iwl_find_station less
Since we now store the station ID in each station
struct, many places need not look at the station
table any more since they can just pull the station
ID out of the struct. Remove iwl_get_sta_id() and
use iwl_sta_id() instead as appropriate.

This reduces the amount of code needed to find the
right station significantly, and works since
mac80211 passes the station only after it has been
fully initialised, ie. even if TX races with
station addition it will only be passed to TX once
the addition is complete.

Daniel Halperin e3a3cd8789 iwlwifi: set AMPDU status variables correctly
The TX status code is currently abusing the ampdu_ack_map field (a bitmap) to
count the number of successfully received frames.  The comments in mac80211.h
show there are actually three different, relevant variables, of which we are
currently using two, both incorrectly. Fix this by making

- ampdu_ack_len -> the number of ACKed frames (i.e. successes)
- ampdu_ack_map -> the bitmap
- ampdu_len -> the total number of frames sent (i.e., attempts)

to match the header file (and verified with ath9k's usage) and updating Intel's
RS code to match.

Shanyu Zhao c2845d010b iwlwifi: set correct AC to swq_id for aggregation
When starting an aggregation session, the swq_id is generated in function
iwl_virtual_agg_queue_num() where the first parameter is supposed to be
the Access Class, but it used the tx fifo ID instead. This means the AC
value stored in swq_id is incorrect. To test this, look at the tx_queue
file in debugfs while transmitting Best Effort flow (ac=2), it shows:
hwq 10: read=0 write=0 stop=0 swq_id=0xa9 (ac 1/hwq 10)
After this fix, it will show:
hwq 10: read=0 write=0 stop=0 swq_id=0xaa (ac 2/hwq 10)
