Senthil Balasubramanian a59b5a5e68 ath9k: Manipulate and report the correct RSSI
RSSI reported by the RX descriptor requires little manipulation.
Manipulate and report the correct RSSI to the stack. This will
fix the improper signal levels reported by iwconfig iw dev wlanX
station dump. Also the Link Quality reported seems to be varying
(falls to zero also sometimes) when iperf is run from STA to AP.

Also use the default noise floor for now as the one reported
during the caliberation seems to be wrong.

The Signal and Link Quality before this patch (taken while TX is
in progress from STA to AP)

Luis R. Rodriguez 4c6d4f5c33 mac80211: add helper for management / no-ack frame rate decision
All current rate control algorithms agree to send management and no-ack
frames at the lowest rate. They also agree to do this when sta
and the private rate control data is NULL. We add a hlper to mac80211
for this and simplify the rate control algorithm code.

Developers wishing to make enhancements to rate control algorithms
are for broadcast/multicast can opt to not use this in their
gate_rate() mac80211 callback.

Luis R. Rodriguez 7d5ca3b8b2 ath9k: differentiate quality reporting between legacy and HT configurations
We were not differentiating quality between legacy and HT
configurations. We change this to consider the differences.

New theory for reporting quality:

At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 7  reliably.
At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably.
At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably.

MCS 7  is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device.
MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device.

All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream.

How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting.

A more elaborate scheme can be used here but it requires tables
of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table
you can refer to the wireless wiki:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/ieee80211/802.11n

This should fix this bug report:

Johannes Berg f1d58c2521 mac80211: push rx status into skb->cb
Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan cbfe89c67b ath9k: Fix leak in tx descriptor
When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the
last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it.
If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal
reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding
descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the
following two issues.

1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer
due to shortage in tx desc.

2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to
update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame
associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in
the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw().

This patch fixes these two issues.

Jouni Malinen f0214843ba ath9k: Fix PCI FATAL interrupts by restoring RETRY_TIMEOUT disabling
An earlier commit, 'ath9k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix', removed
code that was documented to disable RETRY_TIMEOUT register (PCI reg
0x41) since it was claimed to be a no-op. However, it turns out that
there are some combinations of hosts and ath9k-supported cards for
which this is not a no-op (reg 0x41 has value 0x80, not 0) and this
code (or something similar) is needed. In such cases, the driver may
be next to unusable due to very frequent PCI FATAL interrupts from the
card.

Reverting the earlier commit, i.e., restoring the RETRY_TIMEOUT
disabling, seems to resolve the issue. Since the removal of this code
was not based on any known issue and was purely a cleanup change, the
safest option here is to just revert that commit. Should there be
desire to clean this up in the future, the change will need to be
tested with a more complete coverage of cards and host systems.

Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan 5eae6592e9 ath9k: Fix tx stuck when connected to aggr disabled HT AP
This patch along with my previous patch in mac80211 "Fix the
way ADDBA count..", fixes hang in tx when connected to an HT
AP which rejects/times out on addba req.

AGGR_ADDBA_PROGRESS should be cleared in aggr state when addba
negotiation is terminated due to either addba response is timed out
or addba is denied by the AP. With out clearing this bit,
all frames are queued onto s/w queue for getting tx'd as aggr and
will never be scheduled onto hw queue.

Johannes Berg 19d337dff9 rfkill: rewrite
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:

 * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
   rather than having one central implementation

 * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
   contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
   lots of code

 * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
   internally -- the core should do this

 * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
   asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister

 * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
   driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
   should be avoided

 * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module

 * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
   depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
   that do nothing if it isn't compiled in

 * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
   it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
   force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()

 * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
   reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS

 * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
   operations in locked sections

 * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
   changes -- this wasn't done before

Jouni Malinen 546256fbd0 ath9k: Add sanity check for beacon_int in adhoc/mesh case
It looks like mac80211 can request the driver to start beaconing with
a beacon interval of zero in some cases (at least for mesh point). This
does not sound correct and something may need to be fixed in
mac80211. However, taken into account the unpleasantness of getting
stuck in an infinite busy loop with rtnl_lock held, let's add a quick
workaround in the driver to avoid the worst symptom while someone more
familiar with the mesh implementation can figure out what should be done
with mac80211 as far as beacon interval configuration is concerned.
