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.

a6d2055b02 ath9k: fix extending the rx timestamp with the hardware TSF
AR5416 and all newer chipsets use a 32 bit rx timestamp, so there
is no need to keep the 15 bit timestamp extending logic around.

This patch removes ath9k_hw_extend_tsf (replaced by a call to
ath9k_hw_gettsf64), and reduces the frequency of TSF reads, which
can improve performance in some cases.

This change also has the side effect of making rx timestamps
more accurate.

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)

40346b6679 ath9k_hw: inform ANI calibration when scanning
The new ANI implementation will use this to skip ANI
calibration upon a scan. This cannot be ported to the

the ANI are also used upon a scan. This is essentially
what one of the things thenew ANI does.

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.

832c10fd73 wl1251: fix ELP_CTRL register reads
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
6c1f716e81, which adds the
required SDIO funcion.

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.

f668da2f15 iwlwifi: fix wrapping when handling aggregated batches
Fairly complex code in iwlagn_tx_status_reply_tx handle the status reports for
aggregated packet batches sent by the NIC. This code aims to handle the case
where the NIC retransmits failed packets from a previous batch; the status
information for these packets can sometimes be inserted in the middle of a
batch and are actually not in order by sequence number! (I verified this can
happen with printk's in the function.)

The code in question adaptively identifies the "first" frame of the batch,
taking into account that it may not be the one corresponding to the first agg
status report, and also handles the case when the set of sent packets wraps the
256-character entry buffer. It generates the agg->bitmap field of sent packets
which is later compared to the BlockAck response from the receiver to see which
frames of those sent in this batch were ACKed. A small logic error (wrapping by
0xff==255 instead of 0x100==256) was causing the agg->bitmap to be set
incorrectly.

Fix this wrapping code, and add extensive comments to clarify what is going on.

02cd8dee6e iwlwifi: parse block ack responses correctly
Compressed BlockAck frames store the ACKs/NACKs in a 64-bit bitmap that starts
at the sequence number of the first frame sent in the aggregated batch. Note
that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission;
e.g., if frames 1,4-5 in a batch are ACKed then the next transmission will
include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed
BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the
semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame
is seq 2).

The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of
the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets,
maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the
bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This
flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly
underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as
well as driver and uCode.

Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through
all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed.

In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput
stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in
aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g.,

ff0d91c3ee iwlwifi: reduce memory allocation
Currently, the driver allocates up to 19 skb pointers
for each TFD, of which we have 256 per queue. This
means that for each TX queue, we allocate 19k/38k
(an order 4 or 5 allocation on 32/64 bit respectively)
just for each queue's "txb" array, which contains only
the SKB pointers.

However, due to the way we use these pointers only the
first one can ever be assigned. When the driver was
initially written, the idea was that it could be
passed multiple SKBs for each TFD and attach all
those to implement gather DMA. However, due to
constraints in the userspace API and lack of TCP/IP
level checksumming in the device, this is in fact not
possible. And even if it were, the SKBs would be
chained, and we wouldn't need to keep pointers to
each anyway.

Change this to only keep track of one SKB per TFD,
and thereby reduce memory consumption to just one
pointer per TFD, which is an order 0 allocation per
transmit queue.

pointers found in the txb array since it was
never initialised. This fixes it simply by
using kzalloc().
