The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.
The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).
This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.
To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).
It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).
To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.

We have seen several DMA races when we race against

debugging (CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG) is enabled.
If you run into this warning and are a developer,
please fix the cause of the warning. The potential
here, although I cannot prove yet, is that the DMA
engine can be confused and start writing to a buffer
that was already DMA'd before and at least the kernel
assumes is not being accessed by hardware anymore.

Bit 22 of AR_WA should be set to fix the situation where chip reset
is asynchronous to clock of analog shift registers, such that when
reset is released, it could mess up the values of analog shift registers
and cause some hw issue on AR9280.
This bit is write only, but the driver does a read-modify-write
on AR_WA without setting bit 22 in ar9002_hw_configpcipowersave()
during radio disable. This causes surprise removal of hw. It can
never recover from this state and the hw will become usable only
after a power on/off cycle, and sometimes only during a cold reboot.
This issue can be triggered by doing frequent roaming with the
simple/test-roam script available from the wifi-test project [1]
when roaming between APs quickly. When roaming there is a is a high
possibility that the device being put into idle (radio disable) state

ath9k locks for starting RX but not for stopping RX. We could
potentially run into a situation where tried to stop RX
but immediately started RX. This allows for races on the
the RX engine deciding what buffer we last left off on
and could potentially cause ath9k to DMA into already
free'd memory or in the worst case at a later time to
already given memory to other drivers.
Fix this by locking stopping RX.
This is part of a series that will help resolve the bug:

Since aggregation is usually triggered by tx completion, a hardware
reset (because of beacon stuck, tx hang or baseband hang) can
significantly delay the transmission of the next AMPDU (until the next
tx completion event).
Fix this by rescheduling aggregation after such a reset.

The ath9k aggregation code was already checking the rate control probe flag
to prevent starting an aggregate frame with a sampling rate. What was missing
was closing an aggregate before adding a probing frame to it.
Without that, rate control cannot have precise control over probing, which
delays using faster rates when the channel conditions improve.

This updates the initvals for the AR9003 2.2 chipsets. The initvals
are the initial register values we use for our registers upon hardware
reset. This synchs up the initvals to match what our latest recommendation
from our systems engineering team.
The description of changes in this update:
Improves ability to support very strong Rx conditions.
Enhances DFS support for AP-mode.
Improves performance of Tx carrier leak calibration.
Adds support for Japan channel 14 Tx filtering requirements.
Improves Tx power accuracy.
Impact:
Update required to address degraded throughput at very short range.
Update required for AP-mode DFS certification.
Update required to comply to IEEE Tx carrier leak specification.
May not meet expected +/- 2 dB Tx power accuracy without update.
The most important fix here would be the TX carrier leakage required
to comply with IEEE 802.11 specifications. The group of changes have
been tested all together in one release.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

This patch fixes the following problems with the rate control feedback
generated by ath9k for A-MPDU frames:
1. Rate control feedback is carried on the first frame of an aggregate
that is either ACKed, or has execeeded the software retry count and is
considered failed. However, ath9k would incorrectly assume the aggregate
had the length 1 if one of these conditions did not apply to the first
frame of the aggregate, but instead a later frame. This fix therefor
copies the bf_nframes field of the buffer in the same manner as the rates
field of the tx status.
2. Sometimes the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields of the tx status was
left uninitialized eventhough the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag was set.
This is now avoid by setting flag and fields in the same place.
3. Even if a frame has been selected for aggregation by mac80211 and
marked with the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU flag it can sometimes happen that
ath9k transmits the frame without aggregation. In these cases the
ampdu_ack_len field could be incorrectly computed because the nbad
parameter to ath_tx_rc_status was incorrect.

ANI state is kept per channel, so instead of keeping an array of ANI states

The cycle counters are used by ANI to determine the amount of time that the
radio spent not receiving or transmitting. They're also used for debugging
purposes if the baseband watchdog on AR9003 detects a lockup.
In the future, we want to use these counters to determine the medium utilization
and export this information via survey. For that, we need to make sure that
the counter is only accessed from one place, which also ensures that
wraparounds won't occur at inconvenient points in time.

The calibration actual calibration flags are only used by the per chip family
source files, so it makes more sense to define them in those files instead
of globally. That way the code has to test for less flags.
Also instead of using a separate callback for testing whether a particular
calibration type is supported, simply adjust ah->supp_cals in the calibration
init which is called right after the hardware reset, before any of the
calibrations are run.

The base_eep_header_4k structure contains information that the

table even if the device inidicates that the high power table

The tid aggregation cleanup is a bit fragile, as it discards failed
subframes in some places, and retransmits them in others. This could
block the cleanup of an existing aggregation session, if a retransmission
for a tid is issued, yet the tid is never scheduled again because of
the cleanup state.
Fix this by getting rid of as many subframes as possible, as early
as possible, and immediately transmitting pending subframes as regular
HT frames instead of waiting for the cleanup to complete.
Drop all pending subframes while keeping track of the Block ACK window
during aggregate tx completion to prevent sending out stale subframes,
which could confuse the receiver side.

ath9k's entire logic with SC_OP_SCANNING is incorrect due to the
way mac80211 currently implements the scan complete callback and
we handle it in ath9k. This patch removes the flag completely in
preference for the SC_OP_OFFCHANNEL which is really what we wanted.
The scanning flag was used to ensure we reset ANI to the old values
when we go back to the home channel, but if we are offchannel we
use some defaults. The flag was also used to re-enable the TX monitor.
Without this patch we simply never re-enabled ANI and the TX monitor
after going offchannel. This means that after one background
scan we are prone to noise issues and if we had a TX hang we would
not recover. To get this to work properly we must enable ANI after
we have configured the beacon timers, otherwise hardware acts really
oddly.
This patch has stable fixes which apply down to [2.6.36+], there
*may* be a to fix this on older kernels but requires a bit of
work since this patch relies on the new mac80211 flag
IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which was introduced as of 2.6.36.

When we return to the home channel we were never reseting our beacon
timers, this was casued by the fact that the scanning flag was still
on even after we returned to our home channel. There are also other
reasons why we would get a reset and if we are not off channel
we always need to resynch our beacon timers, because a reset will
clear them.
This bug is a regression introduced on 2.6.36. The order of the
changes are as follows:
5ee08656 - Sat Jul 31 - ath9k: prevent calibration during off-channel activity
a0daa0e7 - Tue Jul 27 - Revert "mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing"
543708be - Fri Jun 18 - mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing
mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \
--contains 5ee0865615
v2.6.36-rc1~43^2~34^2~22
mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \

--contains 543708be32
v2.6.36-rc1~571^2~107^2~187
So 5ee08656 would have worked if a0daa0e7 was not committed but
it was so this means 5ee08656 was broken since it assumed that
when we were in the channel change routine the scan flag would
be lifted. As it turns out the scan flag will be set when we
are already on the home channel.
For more details refer to:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=5715
These issues will need to be considered for our solution on
reshifting the scan complete callback location on mac80211 on
current development kernel work.

ath9k has a race on putting the chip into network sleep and
having registers read from hardware. The race occurs because
although ath9k_ps_restore() locks its own callers it makes use
of some variables which get altered in the driver at different
code paths. The variables are the ps_enabled and ps_flags.
This is easily reprodicible in large network environments when
roaming with the wpa_supplicant simple bgscan. You'd get some
0xdeadbeef read out on certain registers such as:
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x806c: 0xdeadbeef & 0x01f00000 != 0x00000000
ath: RX failed to go idle in 10 ms RXSM=0xdeadbeef
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000
ath: Chip reset failed
The fix is to protect the ath9k_config(hw, IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_PS)
calls with a spin_lock_irqsave() which will disable contendors for
these variables from interrupt context, timers, re-entry from mac80211
on the same callback, and most importantly from ath9k_ps_restore()
which is the only call which will put the device into network sleep.
There are quite a few threads and bug reports on these a few of them are:

To optimize register read/write operations, the HTC firmwares were patched
to change EP3 and EP4 pipe types from Interrupt to Bulk. So register writes

At the time the .add_interface driver op is called, the interface has not
been marked as running yet, so ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces will
not pass it to the iterator function.
Because of this, the calculated BSSID mask is wrong, which breaks multi-BSS
operation.
Additionally, the current way of comparing all addresses against each other
is pointless, as the hardware only uses the hardware MAC address and the BSSID
mask for matching the destination address, so all the address array
reallocation is completely unnecessary.
This patch simplifies the logic by setting the initial mask bytes to 0xff
and removing all bits in the iterator call that don't match the hardware MAC
address. It also calls the iterator for the vif that was passed to

In order to recover from this as quickly as possible, trigger a
long periodic calibration every second instead of every 30 seconds,
until the NF median is within limits again. This is especially important
if the interference lasts for a while, since it takes multiple clean

When beacons get stuck in AP mode, the most likely cause is interference.
Such interference can often go on for a while, and too many consecutive
beacon misses can lead to connected clients getting dropped.
Since connected clients might not be subjected to the same interference
if that happens to be very local, the AP should try to deal with it as
good as it can. One way to do this is to trigger an NF calibration with
automatic baseband update right after the beacon miss. In my tests with
very strong interference, this allowed the AP to continue transmitting
beacons after only 2-3 misses, which allows a normal client to stay
connected.
With some of the newer - really sensitive - chips, the maximum noise
floor limit is very low, which can be problematic during very strong
interference. To avoid an endless loop of stuck beacons -> nfcal ->
periodic calibration -> stuck beacons, the beacon miss event also sets
a flag, which allows the calibration code to bypass the chip specific
maximum NF value. This flag is automatically cleared, as soon as the
first NF median goes back below the limits for all chains.
In my tests, this allowed an ath9k AP to survive very strong interference
(measured NF: -68, or sometimes even higher) without losing connectivity
to its clients. Even under these conditions, I was able to transmit
several mbits/s through the interface.

Some APs advertise that they may be HT40 capable in the capabilites
but the current operating channel configuration may be only HT20.
This causes disconnection as ath9k_htc sets WLAN_RC_40_FLAG despite
the AP operating in HT20 mode.
Hence set this flag only if the current channel configuration
is HT40 enabled.

ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess nulls rxs and the mactime is never set again -
mactime is always 0. This causes problems in IBSS mode.
ieee80211_rx_bss_info uses mactime to decide if an IBSS merge is needed.
Without this patch the merge is triggered by each beacon received.
This can be recognized by the "beacon TSF higher than local TSF - IBSS
merge with BSSID" log message accompanying each beacon.
This problem was not completely fixed in commit
a6d2055b02 and is not a stable kernel fix.

I noticed a possible issue in the paused flag management of the
ath_atx_tid data structure. In particular, in a noisy environment and
under heavy load, I observed that the AGGR session establishment could
fail several times consecutively causing values of the paused flag
greater than one for this TID (ath_tx_pause_tid is called more than
once from ath_tx_aggr_start).
Considering that the session for this TID can not be established also
after the mac80211 stack calls the ieee80211_agg_tx_operational() since
the ath_tx_aggr_resume() lowers the paused flag only by one.
This patch also replaces some BUG_ON calls with WARN_ON, as even if
these unlikely conditions happen, it's not fatal enough to justify a
BUG_ON.

AR9003 was not relying on the CTL indexes from the EEPROM for capping the
max output power. The CTL indexes from the EEPROM provide calibrated
limits for output power for each tested and supported frequency. Without
this the device operates at a power level which only conforms to the
transmit spectrum mask as specified by IEEE Annex I.2.3.
The regulatory limit by CRDA is always used but does not provide
calibrated values for optimal performance, specially on band edges.
Using the calibrated data from the EEPROM ensures the device
operates at optimal output power while still ensuring proper
regulatory compliance. The device uses the minimum of these tree
values, the value from CRDA, the calibrated value from CTL indexex,
and the value to conform to the IEEE transmit spectrum mask.

On AR5008-AR9002, other forms of calibration must not be started while
the noise floor calibration is running, as this can create invalid
readings which were sometimes not even recoverable by any further
calibration attempts.
This patch also ensures that the result of noise floor measurements
are processed faster and also allows the result of the initial
calibration on reset to make it into the NF history buffer

The noise floor history buffer is currently not kept per channel, which
can lead to problems when changing channels from a clean channel to a
noisy one. Also when switching from HT20 to HT40, the noise floor
history buffer is full of measurements, but none of them contain data
for the extension channel, which it needs quite a bit of time to recover
from.
This patch puts all the per-channel calibration data into a single data
structure, and gives the the driver control over whether that is used
per-channel or even not used for some channels.
For ath9k_htc, I decided to keep this per-channel in order to avoid
creating regressions.
For ath9k, the data is kept only for the operating channel, which saves
some space. ath9k_hw takes care of wiping old data when the operating
channel or its channel flags change.

Previously the software scan callback was used to indicate to the hardware,
when it was safe to calibrate. This didn't really work properly, because it
depends on a specific order of software scan callbacks vs. channel changes.
Also, software scans are not the only thing that triggers off-channel
activity, so it's better to use the newly added indication from mac80211 for
this and not use the software scan callback for anything calibration related.
This fixes at least some of the invalid noise floor readings that I've seen
in AP mode on AR9160

When issuing two consecutive scans you could often end up
getting in the logs:
"ath9k: Two wiphys trying to scan at the same time"
This message is due to a race in mac80211 but addressing
that race requires some more major changes on the driver
and perhaps optimizations on mac80211 like removing the
scan complete callback alltogether. Its too late to address
this this kernel release so supress the complaint and annotate
this needs fixing for later.

An A-MPDU may contain several subframes each containing its own
CRC for the data. Each subframe also has a respective CRC for the
MPDU length and 4 reserved bits (aka delimeter CRC). AR9003 will
ACK frames that have a valid data CRC but have failed to pass the
CRC for the MPDU length, if and only if the subframe is not the
last subframe in an A-MPDU and if an OFDM phy OFDM reset error has
been caught. Discarding those subframes results in packet loss under
heavy stress conditions, an example being UDP video. Since the
frames are ACK'd by hardware we need to let these frames through
and process them as valid frames.
