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.

Currently, driver tracing is sometimes invoked
after and sometimes before the actual driver
callback. This is fine as long as the driver
has no tracing itself, but as soon as it does
it gets confusing.
To make traces containing such information
easier to read, introduce a return tracer in
mac80211 that essentially brackets any driver
tracing, and invoke the real trace before the
driver's callback, only showing the return
value, if any, afterwards.
Since tracing records the process, there's no
problem with overlapping calls if that should
happen.

When the driver or rate control requests starting

Currently we allocate some memory for each RX

By using RCU to protect the pointer and making
sure that the memory is fully set up before it
becomes visible to the RX path, we can remove
the need for the bool that indicates validity,
as well as for locking on the RX path since it
is always synchronised against itself, and we
can guarantee that all other modifications are
done when the structure is not visible to the
RX path.
The net result is that since we remove locking
requirements from the RX path, we can in the

Unfortunately, this means that it extends the

There's a corner case where we receive a fragmented

will terminate that session. To simplify future work
in this area that will culminate in allowing the
driver callbacks for aggregation to sleep, move the
processing of this case out of the RX path into the

This will simplify future work because the new place

A number of places use RCU locking for accessing
the station list, even though they do not need
to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the
locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is
also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the
same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that.
While doing so, combine places where we loop
over stations twice, and optimise away some of
the loops by checking if the hardware supports
aggregation at all first.
Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right
now we could resume, set up an aggregation session,
and right after tear it down again due to the code
that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here.
Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as
a workaround.
Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling
loop when an interface is stopped, directly after
that we remove all stations from it which will also
disable all aggregation sessions that may still be
active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the
current loop that doesn't block new sessions.

When we receive a deauthentication frame before
having successfully associated, we neither print
a message nor abort assocation. The former makes
it hard to debug, while the latter later causes
a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be
the case, association timed out.
This warning was reported by many, e.g. in

but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified
the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame

Reading the ELP_CTRL register with sdio_readb causes problems because
hardware seems to be performing a write using stuff bits in the request
(those bits contain write data in write request). This indicates that it
actually expects RAW (read after write) type of request, so perform that
when reading ELP_CTRL instead. Also cache last written value so we know
what to write when doing RAW request.
Because of the above it was not possible to wake the chip from ELP power
saving mode, PM had to be disabled to have the driver usable in SDIO
mode. After this patch PM is functional.
For backporting to 2.6.34 or earlier, this patch depends on
