Get rid of overly complicated cw_min/max and AIFS configuration:
* Validate values in ath5k_hw_set_tx_queueprops(), so we can use them directly
without further checks or computation in ath5k_hw_reset_tx_queue().
* Simplifiy by using AR5K_TUNE_AIFS|CWMIN|CWMAX variables directly since we
don't support XR or B channels. That way we can also remove
AR5K_TXQ_USEDEFAULT and the confusing logic around it.
* Update data types: AIFS is u8, CW's are u16.
* Remove now unneeded variables in ath5k_hw.

If we return a TX descriptor to the pool of available descriptors, while a
queues TXDP still points to it we could potentially run into all sorts of
troube.
It has been suggested that there is hardware which can set the descriptors
done bit before it reads ds_link and moves on to the next descriptor. While the
documentation says this is not true for newer chipsets (the descriptor contents
are copied to some internal memory), we don't know about older hardware.
To be safe, we always keep the last descriptor in the queue, and avoid dangling
TXDP pointers. Unfortunately this does not fully resolve the problem - queues
still get stuck!
This is similar to what ath9k does.

Prepare ath5k for WME by using four hardware queues.
The way we set up our queues matches the mac80211 queue priority 1:1, so we
don't have to do any mapping for queue numbers.
Every queue uses 50 of the total 200 available transmit buffers, so the DMA
memory usage does not increase with this patch, but it might be good to
fine-tune the number of buffers per queue later (depending on the CPU speed and
load, and the speed of the medium access, it might not be big enough).

Use common ath key management functions in ath5k. This fixes problems with HW
encryption in AP mode, which was broken in the ath5k implementation.
Before (with the ath5k implementation) only one client could connect to the AP
using HW encryption and WPA. When a second client connected, the first client
was not able to send/receive any more packets. Because of the problems with HW
encryption, software encryption was always used in AP mode, which resulted in a
high CPU load (and/or low thruput) on embedded devices. Instead of trying to
fix the implementation in ath5k it makes more sense to share the code with
ath9k.
This also enables HW encryption for AP mode again.

Atheros PCIe wireless cards handled by ath5k do require L0s disabled.
For distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM (this will be enabled
by default in the future in 2.6.36) this will also mean both L1 and L0s
will be disabled when a pre 1.1 PCIe device is detected. We do know L1
works correctly even for all ath5k pre 1.1 PCIe devices though but cannot
currently undue the effect of a blacklist, for details you can read
pcie_aspm_sanity_check() and see how it adjusts the device link
capability.
It may be possible in the future to implement some PCI API to allow
drivers to override blacklists for pre 1.1 PCIe but for now it is
best to accept that both L0s and L1 will be disabled completely for
distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM rather than having this
issue present. Motivation for adding this new API will be to help
with power consumption for some of these devices.
Example of issues you'd see:
- On the Acer Aspire One (AOA150, Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001
Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)) doesn't work well
with ASPM enabled, the card will eventually stall on heavy traffic
with often 'unsupported jumbo' warnings appearing. Disabling
ASPM L0s in ath5k fixes these problems.
- On the same card you would see a storm of RXORN interrupts
even though medium is idle.

There were a few places where the sc->rxlink pointer was set to NULL "just in
case". This helps nothing - quite to the contrary it is problematic since it
can create self-linked rx descriptors in the middle of the list of receive
buffers.
Here is an example how this could happen (thanks Bob!):
cpu 0: cpu 1:
ath5k_rx_stop
ath5k_tasklet_rx
sc->rxlink = NULL; /* just in case */
// following doesn't link used
// buffer to prev.
ath5k_rxbuf_setup()
In the case of ath5k_rx_stop() and ath5k_stop_locked() buffers/descriptors are
not changed so rxlink should not be changed as well.
In ath5k_intr() we seem to try to work around a hardware bug, as the comment
(which is copied 1:1 from the HAL) suggests. I don't see how this could help.
Also the HAL does not set rxlink in this case (So where does this code come
from? It has been there since the first import of ath5k). Changed to just
increment a statistics counter.
After this patch rxlink is only set to NULL before we initialize rx descriptors
and updated when the descriptors are linked together.

lockups and bad descriptor data, and possibly DMAing to

problems.

We currently trigger a reset via a tasklet when certain error
conditions are detected so that the card will (eventually)
restart. Unfortunately this makes locking complicated since
reset can also be called in process context (e.g. for channel
change). Currently nothing protects against concurrent resets,
which can be the source of corruption bugs.
Reset takes too long to spinlock the whole thing, so this
patch moves deferred resets into the mac80211 workqueue to
enable use of sc->lock mutex.

We should use the same buffer size we set up for DMA also in the hardware
descriptor. Previously we used common->rx_bufsize for setting up the DMA
mapping, but used skb_tailroom(skb) for the size we tell to the hardware in the
descriptor itself. The problem is that skb_tailroom(skb) can give us a larger
value than the size we set up for DMA before. This allows the hardware to write
into memory locations not set up for DMA. In practice this should rarely happen
because all packets should be smaller than the maximum 802.11 packet size.
On the tested platform rx_bufsize is 2528, and we allocated an skb of 2559
bytes length (including padding for cache alignment) but sbk_tailroom() was
2592. Just consistently use rx_bufsize for all RX DMA memory sizes.
Also use the return value of the descriptor setup function.

Jumbo frames are not supported, and if they are seen it is likely
a bogus frame so just silently discard them instead of warning on
them all time. Also, instead of dropping them immediately though
move the check *after* we check for all sort of frame errors. This
should enable us to discard these frames if the hardware picks
other bogus items first. Lets see if we still get those jumbo
counters increasing still with this.
Jumbo frames would happen if we tell hardware we can support
a small 802.11 chunks of DMA'd frame, hardware would split RX'd
frames into parts and we'd have to reconstruct them in software.
This is done with USB due to the bulk size but with ath5k we
already provide a good limit to hardware and this should not be
happening.
This is reported quite often and if it fills the logs then this
needs to be addressed and to avoid spurious reports.

According to tests, both TSF lower and upper registers kept counting, so
the higher part could have been updated after the lower part has been
read, as shown in the following log where the upper part is read first
and the lower part next.
tsf = {00000003-fffffffd}
tsf = {00000003-00000001}
tsf = {00000004-0000000b}
This patch corrects this by checking that the upper part has not been
changed while the lower part was read. It has been tested in an IBSS
network where artifical IBSS merges have been done in order to trigger
hundreds of rollover for the TSF lower part.
It follows the logic mentionned by Derek, with only 2 register reads
needed at each additional steps instead of 3 (the minimum number of
register reads is still 3).

We get RXORN interrupts when all receive buffers are full. This is not
necessarily a fatal situation. It can also happen when the bus is busy or the
CPU is not fast enough to process all frames.
Older chipsets apparently need a reset to come out of this situration, but on
newer chips we can treat RXORN like RX, as going thru a full reset does more
harm than good, there.
The exact chip revisions which need a reset are unknown - this guess
AR5K_SREV_AR5212 ("venice") is copied from the HAL.

This is an Adaptive Noise Imunity (ANI) implementation for ath5k. I have looked
at both ath9k and HAL sources (they are nearly the same), and even though i
have implemented some things differently, the basic algorithm is practically
the same, for now. I hope that this can serve as a clean start to improve the
algorithm later.
This also adds a possibility to manually control ANI settings, right now only
thru a debugfs file:
* set lowest sensitivity (=highest noise immunity):
echo sens-low > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* set highest sensitivity (=lowest noise immunity):
echo sens-high > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* automatically control immunity (default):
echo ani-on > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* to see the parameters in use and watch them change:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
Manually setting sensitivity will turn the automatic control off. You can also
control each of the five immunity parameters (noise immunity, spur immunity,
firstep, ofdm weak signal detection, cck weak signal detection) manually thru
the debugfs file.
This is tested on AR5414 and nearly doubles the thruput in a noisy 2GHz band.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Currently, the padding position is based on
ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb(). This is not correct since the HW does
padding on RX (and expect the same padding to be present on TX) at the
following position :
- management : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format
- control : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format
- data : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format + 2 if QoS
- invalid : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format
whereas ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb() is :
- management : 24
- control : 16 except for ACK/CTS where it is 10
- data : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format + 2 if QoS + 2 if QoS & order
- invalid : 24
So, correct frames are not affected : management frames do not use
4-addr format, control frames have no body and invalid frames are ...
not valid by definition. However, in order to use monitor interface for
debugging purpose, one must be able to send/receive any frames, be it
correct or not. Such frames are affected by incorrect padding.
Moreover, since padding is added on TX, we need to remove it before
calling ieee80211_tx_status. This affect TX packets received by monitor
interfaces.
It has been tested between an ath5k based card (AR5212) and an ar9170usb
based card (netgear WNDA3100) using a frame generator and a monitor

I/Q calibration was completely broken, resulting in a high number of CRC errors
on received packets. before i could see around 10% to 20% CRC errors, with this
patch they are between 0% and 3%.
1.) the removal of the mask in commit "ath5k: Fix I/Q calibration
(f1cf2dbd0f)" resulted in no mask beeing used
when writing the I/Q values into the register. additional errors in the
calculation of the values (see 2.) resulted too high numbers, exceeding the
masks, so wrong values like 0xfffffffe were written. to be safe we should
always use the bitmask when writing parts of a register.
2.) using a (s32) cast for q_coff is a wrong conversion to signed, since we
convert to a signed value later by substracting 128. this resulted in too low
numbers for Q many times, which were limited to -16 by the boundary check later
on.
3.) checked everything against the HAL sources and took over comments and minor
optimizations from there.
4.) we can't use ENABLE_BITS when we want to write a number (the number can
contain zeros). also always write the correction values first and set ENABLE
bit last, like the HAL does.

antenna and diversity settings (esp. AR5K_STA_ID1_DEFAULT_ANTENNA).
also i would like to note that antenna diversity does not always work correctly
on 5414 (at least) when only one antenna is connected: for example all frames
might be received on antenna A but still the HW tries to send on antenna B some
times, causing packet loss.

The beacon sent gating doesn't seem to work with any combination
of flags. Thus, buffered frames tend to stay buffered forever,
using up tx descriptors.
Instead, use the DBA gating and hold transmission of the buffered
frames until 80% of the beacon interval has elapsed using the ready
time. This fixes the following error in AP mode:
ath5k phy0: no further txbuf available, dropping packet
Add a comment to acknowledge that this isn't the best solution.

When using the external sleep clock in AP mode, the
TSF increments too quickly, causing beacon interval
to be much lower than it is supposed to be, resulting
in lots of beacon-not-ready interrupts.
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14802.

The callback sets slot time as specified in IEEE 802.11-2007 section
17.3.8.6 (for 20MHz channels only for now) and raises ACK and CTS
timeouts accordingly. The values are persistent, they are restored after
device reset.

The original code was correct in 802.11a mode only, 802.11b/g uses
different clock rates. The new code uses values taken from FreeBSD HAL
and should be correct for all modes including turbo modes.
The former rate calculation was used by slope coefficient calculation
function ath5k_hw_write_ofdm_timings. However, this function requires
the 802.11a values even in 802.11g mode. Thus the use of
ath5k_hw_htoclock was replaced by hardcoded values. Possibly the slope
coefficient calculation is not related to clock rate at all.

Functions ath5k_hw_get_slot_time and ath5k_hw_set_slot_time were
converting microseconds to clocks only for AR5210, although it's needed
for all supported devices. The conversion was moved outside the
hardware-specific branches.
The original code also limited minimum slot time to 9, while turbo modes
use 6, this was fixed too.

Commit 8bf3d79bc401ca417ccf9fc076d3295d1a71dbf5 enabled EEPROM
checksum checks to avoid bogus bug reports but failed to address
updating the code to consider devices with custom EEPROM sizes.
Devices with custom sized EEPROMs have the upper limit size stuffed
in the EEPROM. Use this as the upper limit instead of the static
default size. In case of a checksum error also provide back the
max size and whether or not this was the default size or a custom
one. If the EEPROM is busted we add a failsafe check to ensure
we don't loop forever or try to read bogus areas of hardware.
This closes bug 14874

All its members (vif, mac_addr, type) are now available
in the vif struct directly, so we can pass that instead
of the conf struct. I generated this patch (except the

The calibration period is now invoked by triggering a software
interrupt from within the ISR by ath5k_hw_calibration_poll()
instead of via a timer.
However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before
interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an
interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the
interval is actually negative. As a result, the ISR will
arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then
rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a
softlockup at modprobe time.
Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval
is set before interrupts are active. Another possible fix
is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine,
but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.

Without this we have no gaurantee of the integrity of the
EEPROM and are likely to encounter a lot of bogus bug reports
due to actual issues on the EEPROM. With the EEPROM checksum
check in place we can easily rule those issues out.
If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted
EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This
patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and
avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead
on real concrete issues.
If stable keeps bogus bug reports because of a possibly busted EEPROM
feel free to apply this there too.
Tested on an AR5414
