The old ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw method didn't properly
find VIFS when there was more than one per AP. This caused
AMPDU logic in ath9k to get the wrong VIF when trying to
account for transmitted SKBs.
This patch changes ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw to take a
localaddr argument to distinguish between VIFs with the
same AP but different local addresses. The method name
is changed to ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr.

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.

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.

The way we set up our queues matches the mac80211 queue priority 1:1, so we

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

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
are submitted as bulk urbs, but register reads are not. Also changing the
register read endpoint pipe as bulk type when URBs are filled improves the
register reads considerably which results in reduced scan time and CPU
utilization.

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.
