6044474ed8 ath9k: shorten the calibration interval during strong interference
When the noise floor limits are being bypassed because of strong
interference, sensitivity is also reduced.
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
NF calibrations to bring the median back to normal.

70cf15335e ath9k: use AP beacon miss as a trigger for fast recalibration
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.

6ccf15a1a7 ath5k: disable ASPM L0s for all cards
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.

Credit for root causing and fixing the bug goes to Jussi Kivilinna.

This causes disconnection as ath9k_htc sets WLAN_RC_40_FLAG despite

7540184942 ath9k: fix an issue in ath_atx_tid paused flag management
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.

824b185adf ath9k_hw: Fix regulatory CTL index usage for AR9003
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.

20bd2a0952 ath9k_hw: clean up per-channel calibration data
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.

5ee0865615 ath9k: prevent calibration during off-channel activity
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

and process them as valid frames.

b3f194e54b ath5k: clean up rxlink handling
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.

450464def7 ath5k: disable tasklets during reset
Based on a patch from Bruno Randolf, attempting useful
work while we are resetting the chip just leads to interface
lockups and bad descriptor data, and possibly DMAing to

reprogramming the registers in the card to avoid such
problems.

In the future we can convert the tasklets to threaded
interrupt handlers to simplify things.

5faaff7477 ath5k: move reset to mac80211 workqueue
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.

The patch 'ath9k: fix a buffer leak in A-MPDU completion' addressed the
issue of running out of buffers/descriptors in the tx path if a STA is

The remaining issue is that the skbs of the buffers are not reclaimed,

bbacee13f4 ath9k: merge noisefloor load implementations
AR5008+ and AR9003 currently use two separate implementations of the
ath9k_hw_loadnf function. There are three main differences:

 - PHY registers for AR9003 are different
 - AR9003 always uses 3 chains, earlier versions are more selective
 - The AR9003 variant contains a fix for NF load timeouts

This patch merges the two implementations into one, storing the
register array in the ath_hw struct. The fix for NF load timeouts is
not just relevant for AR9003, but also important for earlier hardware,
so it's better to just keep one common implementation.

Fix this by resetting the fast channel change flag if stopping the

When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of
the 913x specific cold reset. As with some AR9280 cards, the TSF needs
to be preserved in software here.

Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful
TSF write directly after the chip reset. In this case, repeating the
TSF write after the initval-writes usually works.

This patch detects failed TSF writes and recovers from them, taking
into account the delay caused by the initval writes.

78c4653a22 ath9k: fix retry count for A-MPDU rate control status reports
The 'bf_retries' field of the ath_buf structure was used for both
software retries (AMPDU subframes) and hardware retries (legacy
frames). This led to a wrong retry count being reported for the A-MPDU
rate control stats.
This patch changes the code to no longer use bf_retries for reporting
retry counts, but instead always using the real on-chip retry count
from the ath_tx_status.
Additionally, if the first subframe of an A-MPDU was not acked, the tx
status report is submitted along with the first acked subframe, which
may not contain the correct rates in the tx info.
This is easily corrected by saving the tx rate info before looping over
subframes, and then copying it back once the A-MPDU status report is
submitted.
In my tests this change improves throughput visibly.

paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a

This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani
needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset().
This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen

6a0ec30ad4 ath9k_hw: add pcieSerDesWrite to disable SERDES ASPM tweaks
This can be useful during testing of new ASPM tweaks which often

653fe37122 ath9k_hw: move LowPower array writes to ar9003_hw_configpcipowersave()
The LowPower array writes disables the PLL when ASPM is enabled.
The host driver makes quite a few calls to ath9k_hw_configpcipowersave()
and these same calls also need to ensure the PLL is off when they issue
it.

b6855772f4 ath5k: initialize ah->ah_current_channel
ath5k assumes ah_current_channel is always a valid pointer in
several places, but a newly created interface may not have a

  - check size before making changes to the descriptor

  - whitespace

  - add comments about 5210 timestamps. this needs to be adressed later!

  - FIFO overrun error only available on 5210

  - rs_phyerr should not be OR'ed

  - clear the whole ath5k_rx_status structure before using, instead of
    zeroing specific fields.

97923b14a5 ath9k: fix queue stopping threshold
ath9k tries to prevent WMM queue tx buffer starvation caused by
traffic on different queues by limiting the number of pending frames
in a tx queue (tracked in the ath_buf structure). This had a leak
issue, because the a skb can be reassigned to a different ath_buf
in the tx path, causing the pending frame counter to become inaccurate.

To fix this, track the number of frames in an array in the softc,
using the mac80211 queue mapping as index.

This patch removes ath9k_hw_extend_tsf (replaced by a call to

can improve performance in some cases.

This change also has the side effect of making rx timestamps

293f2ba897 ath9k: fix mac80211 queue lookup for waking up queues
ath_get_mac80211_qnum() expects the queue 'subtype'
(internal ID for the WMM AC) as argument when looking up
the mac80211 queue, however ath_wake_mac80211_queue provides
txq->axq_qnum instead, which contains the hardware queue
number. Fix this by keeping track of the WMM class ID in
the txq data structure.

e36b27aff1 ath9k: add new ANI implementation for AR9003
This adds support for ANI for AR9003. The implementation for
ANI for AR9003 is slightly different than the one used for
the older chipset families. It can technically be used for
the older families as well but this is not yet fully tested
so we only enable the new ANI for the AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002
families with a module parameter, force_new_ani.

The old ANI implementation is left intact.

Details of the new ANI implemention:

  * ANI adjustment logic is now table driven so that each ANI level
    setting is parameterized. This makes adjustments much more
    deterministic than the old procedure based logic and allows
    adjustments to be made incrementally to several parameters per
    level.

  * ANI register settings are now relative to INI values; so ANI
    param zero level == INI value. Appropriate floor and ceiling
    values are obeyed when adjustments are combined with INI values.

  * ANI processing is done once per second rather that every 100ms.
    The poll interval is now a set upon hardware initialization and
    can be picked up by the core driver.

  * OFDM error and CCK error processing are made in a round robin
    fashion rather than allowing all OFDM adjustments to be made
    before CCK adjustments.

  * ANI adjusts MRC CCK off in the presence of high CCK errors

  * When adjusting spur immunity (SI) and OFDM weak signal detection,
    ANI now sets register values for the extension channel too

  * When adjusting FIR step (ST), ANI now sets register for FIR step
    low too

  * FIR step adjustments now allow for an extra level of immunity for
    extremely noisy environments

  * The old Noise immunity setting (NI), which changes coarse low, size
    desired, etc have been removed. Changing these settings could affect
    up RIFS RX as well.

  * CCK weak signal adjustment is no longer used

  * ANI no longer enables phy error interrupts; in all cases phy hw
    counting registers are used instead

  * The phy error count (overflow) interrupts are also no longer used
    for ANI adjustments. All ANI adjustments are made via the polling
    routine and no adjustments are possible in the ISR context anymore

  * A history settings buffer is now correctly used for each channel;
    channel settings are initialized with the defaults but later
    changes are restored when returning back to that channel

  * When scanning, ANI is disabled settings are returned to (INI) defaults.

  * OFDM phy error thresholds are now 400 & 1000 (errors/second units) for
    low/high water marks, providing increased stability/hysteresis when
    changing levels.

  * Similarly CCK phy error thresholds are now 300 & 600 (errors/second)

ac0bb76791 ath9k_hw: allow for spliting up ANI operations by family
The AR9003 hardware family will use a slightly modified ANI
implementation which has not yet been tested on the other hardware
families. To allow for this new ANI implementation a few ANI
calls need to be abstracted away. This patch just allows for
each hardware family to declare their own ANI ops and annotates
the current ANI implementation as old.

6e97f0fb4d ath9k_hw: clear MIB interrupt causes when skipping ANI adjustments
We get an MIB interrupt when we hit certain PHY error counter
thresholds. If ANI is disabled but the MIB interrupt is enabled
we'll keep around the old MIB interrupt causes.

Since ath9k disables the MIB interrupt when ANI is disabled
this is not a fix, but more of a sanity fix in case we ever
need the MIB interrupt enabled but disabling ANI.

0ca74027ac ath5k: new function for setting the antenna switch table
Collect all pieces concering the antenna switch table into one function.
Previously it was split up between ath5k_hw_reset() and
ath5k_hw_commit_eeprom_settings().

Also we need to set the antenna switch table when ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode()
is called manually (by "iw phy0 antenna set", for example).

I'm not sure if we need to set the switchtable at the same place in
ath5k_hw_reset() as it was before - it is set later thru
ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode() anyways - but i leave it there to avoid
problems(?).

Plus print switchtable registers in the debugfs file.

The following commit added an entry in 11na and 11ng rate

inconsistency between the rate count and the actual number
of rates in the table will leave out the final rate entry
(mcs15 with half gi in ht40) while forming the valid
rate indices. Not having mcs15+shortGI in ht40 will have
a performance impact (on max throughput) of about 10% both
in nght40 and naht40 mode.

ce9426d190 ath9k: fix dma sync in rx path
If buffer is to be accessed by cpu after dma is over, but
between dma mapping and dma unmapping, we should use
dma_sync_single_for_cpu to sync the buffer between cpu with
device. And dma_sync_single_for_device is used to let
device gain the buffer again.

v2: Felix pointed out dma_sync_single_for_device is needed to return
buffer to device if an unsuccessful status bit check is found.

84642d6bdd ath9k: fix queue stop/start based on the number of pending frames
Because there is a limited number of tx buffers available, once the
queue has been filled to a certain point, ath9k needs to stop accepting
new frames from mac80211. In order to prevent a full WMM queue from
stopping another queue with fewer frames, this patch limits the number
of queued frames to a quarter of the total available tx buffers, minus
some reserved frames to be used for other purposes (e.g. beacons).

Because tx buffers are reserved for frames when they're staged in
software queues as well, the actual queue depth cannot be used for
this, so this patch stores a reference to the tx queue in the ath_buf
struct and keeps track of the total number of pending frames.

881ac6a535 ath9k_htc: Revamp CONF_IDLE handling
This patch revamps IDLE power save handling in the driver.
Two separate functions (radio enable/disable) are introduced,
because the semantics of radio handling is just not the same
as the start()/stop() callbacks. For example, the HW must not
be disabled, instead, the PHY has to be disabled in radio_disable().
Also, the HW has to be reset properly in radio enable/disable and
certain registers have to be programmed only once, in the
start() callback.

The radio_enable() routine doesn't need the PS wrappers since
we set the HW power mode to AWAKE anyway before calling it.

Rather than doing a series of RMWs, calculate the

This depends on the analog_shiftreg configuration option,
which is currently buggy. For AP mode, a delay of 100us
has to be the default. For station mode, this knob has to
be enabled on a per-case basis, though it is a little
unclear on when to enable a delay. This can be fixed later though.
