* iwlwifi: use iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx where appropriateDaniel C Halperin2009-08-311-5/+4Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For HT packets, mac80211 expects the rate_idx to be an MCS number, which is the lower byte of rate_n_flags. However, iwl_hwrate_to_plcp_idx takes the MCS number and reduces it down to the range 0-8 (6 to 60 Mbps), removing the bits that signify multiply streams, HT40 Duplicate mode, or unequal modulation. This version is used for various internal purposes through the driver. Add the function iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx, an alternate version which takes the rate and the band and returns the mac80211 index (MCS, for HT packets, and PLCP rate, for legacy packets).

* iwlwifi: fix erroneous use of iwl_rx_packet.len as a lengthDaniel C Halperin2009-08-201-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The field called 'len' in struct iwl_rx_packet is in fact not just a length field but also includes some flags from the flow handler. In several places throughout the driver, this causes incorrect values to be interpreted as lengths when the field is improperly masked. In most situations the improper use is for debugging output, and simply results in an erroneous message, such as: [551933.070224] ieee80211 phy0: I iwl_rx_statistics Statistics notification received (480 vs -1367342620). which should read '(480 vs 484)'. In at least one case this could case bad things to happen: void iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif(struct iwl_priv *priv, struct iwl_rx_mem_buffer *rxb) { struct iwl_rx_packet *pkt = (struct iwl_rx_packet *)rxb->skb->data; IWL_DEBUG_RADIO(priv, "Dumping %d bytes of unhandled " "notification for %s:\n", le32_to_cpu(pkt->len), get_cmd_string(pkt->hdr.cmd)); iwl_print_hex_dump(priv, IWL_DL_RADIO, pkt->u.raw, le32_to_cpu(pkt->len) ); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif); Given the rampant misuse of this field without proper masking throughout the driver (every use but one), this patch renames the field from 'len' to 'len_n_flags' to reduce confusion. It also adds the proper masking when this field is used as a length value.

* iwlwifi: refactor packet reception codeDaniel C Halperin2009-08-201-127/+77Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a number of issues in iwl_rx_reply_rx and iwl_pass_packet_to_mac80211. These issues stem from the complexities of managing two different types of packet commands for different hardware. - Unify code handling rx_phy_res in SKB or cached to eliminate redundancy and remove potential NULL pointer accesses - Replace magic number with proper constant - Optimize functions by moving early exit conditions before computation - Comment code and improve some variable names - Remove redundant computation in iwl_pass_packet_to_mac80211 by passing in the correct, already-computed arguments.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The traffic buffer will only beallocated and used if either bit 23 (IWL_DX_TX) or bit 24 (IWL_DL_RX) of "debug" is set; example: "debug=0x800000" - log tx data traffic "debug=0x1000000" - log rx data traffic "debug=0x1800000" - log both tx and rx traffic The traffic log will store the beginning portion (64 bytes) of the latest 256 of tx and rx packets in the round-robbin buffer for debugging, user can examine the log through debugfs file. How to display the current logged tx/rx traffic and txfifo and rxfifo read/write point: "cat traffic_log" in /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/iwlagn/debug directory By echo "0" to traffic_log file will empty the traffic log buffer and reset both tx and rx taffic log index to 0.

* iwlwifi: re-introduce per device debuggingReinette Chatre2009-08-141-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit "iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly" cleaned up the debug level handling. In doing so it created a single global debug level for all devices. Some setups do consits of more that one iwlwifi device and in these setups there is a requirement that debug levels should be unique per device. We now re-introduce the per device debugging while maintaining the cleanup effort of the previous patch. The maintain the global debug level and now introduce a per-device debug level that will be used if it (the per-device debug level) is set. The per-device debug level can be controlled via the debug_level sysfs file while the global debug level is controlled by the debug module parameter.

* iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendlyReinette Chatre2009-07-241-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Deprecate the "debug50" module parameter used to obtain 5000 series and up debugging. Replace it with "debug" module parameter to match with original driver and be consistent between them. The "debug50" module parameter can still be used, except that the module parameter is not writable in keeping with its previous state. We currently just mark it as "deprecated" and do not have it in the feature-removal-schedule. Some more cleanup of module parameters needs to be done and can then be entered together. * Only make "debug" module parameters visible if the driver is compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG. This will eliminate a lot of confusion where users think they have set debug flags but yet cannot see any debug output. * Make module parameters writable. This eliminates the need for the "debug_level" sysfs file, which can now also be deprecated and added to feature-removal-schedule. This file is in significant use though with many iwlwifi documents and text referring users to it. We can thus not take its removal lightly and keep it around. With iwlcore shared between iwlagn and iwl3945 we really do not need debug module parameters for each but can instead have one debug module parameter for the iwlcore module. The same issue is here as with the sysfs file - a lot of iwlwifi documentation and text (like bug reports) rely on iwlagn and iwl3945 having this module parameter, so changing this to a module parameter of iwlcore will have significant impact and we do not do this for that reason. One consequence of this patch is that if a user is running a system with both 3945 and later hardware then the setting of the one module parameter will affect the value of the other. The likelihood of this seems low - and even if this setup is present it does not seem like an issue for both modules to run with the same debug level.

* mac80211: push rx status into skb->cbJohannes Berg2009-07-101-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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)).

Since there's 8KB A-MPDU support, crossing 4k boundaries didn't seem like something the device would fail with, but when I looked into the function for a minute anyway I stumbled over this little gem: BUG_ON(rxb->dma_addr & (~DMA_BIT_MASK(36) & 0xff)); Clearly, that is a totally bogus check, one would hope the compiler removes it entirely. (Think about it) After fixing it, I obviously ran into it, nothing guarantees the alignment the way you want it, because of the way skbs and their headroom are allocated. I won't explain that here nor double-check that I'm right, that goes beyond what most of the CC'ed people care about. So then I came up with the patch below, and so far my system has survived minutes with 64K pages, when it would previously fail in seconds. And I haven't seen a single instance of the TX bug either. But when you see the patch it'll be pretty obvious to you why. This should fix the following reported kernel bugs: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11596 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11393 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11983 I haven't checked if there are any elsewhere, but I suppose RHBZ will have a few instances too... I'd like to ask anyone who is CC'ed (those are people I know ran into the bug) to try this patch. I am convinced that this patch is correct in spirit, but I haven't understood why, for example, there are so many unmap calls.

| * iwlwifi: W/A for the TSF correction in IBSSAssaf Krauss2008-09-031-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a W/A for the TSF sync issue in IBSS merging. HW is not capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

* iwlwifi: remove useless network and duplicate checkingEmmanuel Grumbach2008-06-301-135/+13Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The iwlwifi drivers go to great lengths to avoid passing packets to mac80211 they think shouldn't go there, while mac80211 can (of course!) handle them very well. Especially in the case of duplicate packets this is interesting because it's such a performance hog (especially for IBSS networks) while mac80211 does that work on the side without much effort. This patch removes all that and leaves only what is absolutely necessary for the hardware.
