Dropping packets from aggregation sessions is usually not a good idea, as
it might upset the synchronization of the BlockAck receive window of the
remote node. The use of the retry_tx parameter to reset/tx-drain functions
also seemed a bit arbitrary.
This patch removes this parameter altogether and ensures that pending tx
frames are not dropped for no good reason.

Right now the rx flush is not doing anything useful on AR9003+, as it only
works if the buffers in the rx FIFO have not been purged yet, as is done
by ath_stoprecv.
To fix this, always call ath_flushrecv from within ath_stoprecv before
the FIFO is emptied, but still after the hw receive path has been stopped.
This ensures that frames received (and ACKed by the hardware) shortly before
a reset will be seen by the software, which should improve A-MPDU session
stability.

Adds the spectral scan feature for ath9k. AR92xx and AR93xx chips
are supported for now. The spectral scan is triggered by configuring
a mode through a debugfs control file. Samples can be gathered via
another relay debugfs file.
Essentially, to try it out:
echo chanscan > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl
iw dev wlan0 scan
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan0 > samples
echo disable > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl
This feature is still experimental.
The special "chanscan" mode is used to perform spectral scan while
mac80211 is scanning for channels. To allow this,
sw_scan_start/complete() ops have been added.
The patch contains code snippets and information from Zefir Kurtisi and
information provided by Adrian Chadd and Felix Fietkau.

When TX aggregation is stopped, there are a few
different cases:
- connection with the peer was dropped
- session stop was requested locally
- session stop was requested by the peer
- connection was dropped while a session is stopping
The behaviour in these cases should be different, if
the connection is dropped then the driver should drop
all frames, otherwise the frames may continue to be
transmitted, aggregated in the case of a locally
requested session stop or unaggregated in the case of
the peer requesting session stop.
Split these different cases so that the driver can
act accordingly; however, treat local and remote stop
the same way and ask the driver to not send frames as
aggregated packets any more.
In the case of connection drop, the stop callback the
driver is otherwise supposed to call is no longer
required.

As of now the ANI cycle is executed only when the chip is awake.
On idle state case, the station wakes up from network sleep for
beacon reception. Since most of the time, ANI cycle is not syncing
with beacon wakeup, ANI cycle is ignored. Approx 5 mins once, the
calibration is performed. This could affect the connection stability
when the station is idle for long. Even though the OFDM and CCK phy
error rates are too high, ANI is unable to tune its immunity level
as quick enough due to rare execution.
Here the experiment shows that OFDM and CCK levels are at default
even on higher phy error rate.
listenTime=44 OFDM:3 errs=121977/s CCK:2 errs=440818/s ofdm_turn=1
This change ensures that ANI calibration will be exectued atleast
once for every 10 seconds. The below result shows improvements and

This patch redefines ATH9K_HW_CAP_MCI and adds an inline wrapper for

Currently in ath9k code there is an attempt which is meant to
disable ANI for ar9100 and ar9340. But it doesn't really achieve
this. All it does is disable ANI init and setup (i.e. calls to
ath9k_hw_ani_setup and ath9k_hw_ani_init). Since ath9k_hw_ani_setup is
not called ah->config.ani_poll_interval is never initialized (i.e. it
is always zero) and ath_ani_calibrate always executes ANI procedures
(over uninitialized ANI parameters).
Moreover, ath_ani_calibrate is being called each 1ms because
common->ani.timer is set to zero interval because
ah->config.ani_poll_interval==0 (and thus smallest value of all
intervals). Normally it should not be called this often.
This patch changes the code so config.enable_ani is used to check if
ANI should be performed.
config.enable_ani is initialized to true by default. This patch sets
it to false for ar9100 and ar9340.

Turning off the radio when mac80211 tells the driver that it's idle is not

For uAPSD implementation, it is necessary to know on
which ACs frames are buffered. mac80211 obviously
knows about the frames it has buffered itself, but
with aggregation many drivers buffer frames. Thus,
mac80211 needs to be informed about this.
For now, since we don't have APSD in any form, this
will unconditionally set the TIM bit for the station
but later with uAPSD only some ACs might cause the
TIM bit to be set.
ath9k is the only driver using this API and I only
modify it in the most basic way, it won't be able
to implement uAPSD with this yet. But it can't do
that anyway since there's no way to selectively
release frames to the peer yet.
Since drivers will buffer frames per TID, let them
inform mac80211 on a per TID basis, mac80211 will
then sort out the AC mapping itself.

EDMA based chips (AR9380+) have 8 Tx FIFO slots, which are used to fix the
tx queue start/stop race conditions which have to be worked around for
earlier chips by keeping the last descriptor in the queue. The current code
stores all frames that do not fit onto the 8 FIFO slots in a separate
list. Whenever a FIFO slot is freed up, the next frame (or A-MPDU) from the
pending queue gets moved to that slot.
This process is not only inefficient, but also unnecessary. The code can
be improved visibly by keeping the pending queue fully linked, and moving
the contents of the entire queue to a FIFO slot as it becomes available.
This patch makes the necessary changes for that and also merges some code
that was duplicated for EDMA vs non-EDMA. It changes txq->axq_link to point
to the last descriptor instead of the link pointer, so that
ath9k_hw_set_desc_link can be used, which works on all chips.
With this patch, a small performance increase for non-aggregated traffic
was observed on AR9380 based embedded hardware.

during suspend/S3 state drv_flush is called from mac80211 irrespective of
interface count. In ath9k we queue a work in ath9k_flush which we expect
to be cancelled in the drv_stop call back. during suspend process mac80211
calls drv_stop only when the interface count(local->count) is non-zero.
unfortunately when the network manager is enabled, drv_flush is called
while drv_stop is not called as local->count reaches '0'.
So fix this by simply checking for the device presence in the
drv_flush call back in the driver before queueing work or anything else.

This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being
sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations.
This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting
of A-MDPU subframes.
Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every
single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT
for unaggregated frames.
A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they
enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure
that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state.
Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter
needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.

The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the
buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max
buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as
the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0
instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it
isn't possible to honour this request.
In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the
addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to
the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called
with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That
way the driver can limit the number of subframes in
aggregates appropriately.
Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the

Since baseband hangs are rare, but the hang check function has a high
false positive rate in some situations, we need to add more reliable
indicators.
In AP mode we can use blocked beacon transmissions as an indicator,
they should be rare enough.
In station mode, we can skip the hang check entirely, since a true
hang will trigger beacon loss detection, and mac80211 will rescan,
which leads to a hw reset that will bring the hardware back to life.
To make this more reliable, we need to skip fast channel changes
if the hardware appears to be stuck.

transmission attempts).

mac80211 will notify drivers when to go idle and ath9k
assumed that it would get further notifications for idle
states after a device stop() config call but as per agreed
semantics the idle state of the radio is left up to driver
after mac80211 issues the stop() callback. The driver is
resposnbile for ensuring the device remains idle after
that even between suspend / resume calls.
This fixes suspend/resume when you issue suspend and resume
twice on ath9k when ath9k_stop() was already called. We need
to put the radio to full sleep in order for resume to work
correctly.
What might seem fishy is we are turning the radio off
after resume. The reason why we do this is because we know
we should not have anything enabled after a mac80211 tells
us to stop(), if we resume and never get a start() we won't
get another stop() by mac80211 so to be safe always bring
the 802.11 device with the radio disabled after resume,
this ensures that if we suspend we already have the radio
disabled and only a start() will ever trigger it on.

Upon a failure we never call ath9k_ps_restore() on ath_radio_enable(),
this will throw off the sc->ps_usecount. When the sc->ps_usecount
is > 0 we never put the chip to full sleep. This drains battery,
and will also make the chip fail upon resume with:
ath: Starting driver with initial channel: 5745 MHz
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000
This would make the chip useless upon resume.
I cannot prove this can happen but in theory it is so best to
avoid this race completely and not have users complain about
a broken device after resume.

We should not be idle when we get the ATH9K_INT_TIM_TIMER,
otherwise its a sign of something broken in our design with
our idle state machine and mac80211. Skip these and WARN once
just in case this is triggerable.

The beacon tasklet is accesssing the bslot info for beacon generation.
Meanwhile the same slot can be freed on interface deletion.
Current the remove_interface disables the beacon alert after freeing the slot.
This may leads to null pointer access.
This patch disables SWBA and kills the beacon tasklet to prevent access
to the slot to be freed. After releasing the slot, swba will be enabled again
upon the availablity of beaconing interfaces.

When ath_drain_all_txq fails to stop DMA, it issues a hw reset. This reset
happens at a very problematic point in time, when the hardware rx path has
not been stopped yet. This could lead to memory corruption, hardware hangs
or other issues.
To fix these issues, simply remove the reset entirely and check the tx DMA
stop status to prevent problems with fast channel changes.

This feature is to mitigate the problem of certain 3
stream chips that exceed the PCIe power requirements.An EEPROM flag
controls which chips have APM enabled which is basically read from
miscellaneous configuration element of the EEPROM header.
This workaround will reduce power consumption by using 2 Tx chains for
Single and Double stream rates (5 GHz only).All self generated frames
(regardless of rate) are sent on 2 chains when this feature is
enabled(Chip Limitation).

The ath9k driver uses a shared pm_qos_request_list structure for all

The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.
The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).
This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.
To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).
It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).
To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.
