rtlwifi: rtl818x: Move drivers into new realtek directory

2015-10-14T10:33:10Z

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted, it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are visable to the user. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36Z

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

rtl8187: make CTS-to-self protection work

2014-05-07T20:08:09Z

CTS protection was not working properly because the HW needs RTS flag to be asserted, and it need also RTS duration field to be filled with CTS-to-self duration. This patch makes the driver to do this. Signed-off-by: Andrea Merello Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

rtl8187: report mac80211 short preamble RX flag

2014-05-07T20:08:08Z

This patch make it possible to mac80211 to know whether a frame has been received with short preamble. It simply checks for the "splcp" flag in the RX status descriptor, and eventually set RX_FLAG_SHORTPRE in mac80211 rx status structure. Signed-off-by: Andrea Merello Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

rtl8187: fix use after free on failure path in rtl8187_probe()

2014-03-31T17:47:41Z

If allocation of io_dmabuf fails, rtl8187_probe() calls usb_put_dev(udev) while usb_get_dev(udev) is not called yet. As a result refcnt is decremented incorrectly and usb_dev can be used after memory deallocation. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

rtl8187: fix compile warning

2014-03-31T17:47:41Z

ANAPARAM3 register, defined in the rtl818x common register struct, is accessed as 16bit by rtl8187se and as 8bit by rtl8187b. Since I have no documentation about this, I can only stick to the reference code and to what is known to work. This issue has been addressed by a patch from Larry Finger that introduces an "union", in the register struct. In my last patch-set I applied it on the register struct, but I forget to update rtl8187 driver too. This patch does it.

rtl8187: fix regression on MIPS without coherent DMA

2014-02-13T19:58:12Z

This patch fixes regression caused by commit a16dad77634 "MIPS: Fix potencial corruption". That commit fixes one corruption scenario in cost of adding another one, which actually start to cause crashes on Yeeloong laptop when rtl8187 driver is used. For correct DMA read operation on machines without DMA coherence, kernel have to invalidate cache, such it will refill later with new data that device wrote to memory, when that data is needed to process. We can only invalidate full cache line. Hence when cache line includes both dma buffer and some other data (written in cache, but not yet in main memory), the other data can not hit memory due to invalidation. That happen on rtl8187 where struct rtl8187_priv fields are located just before and after small buffers that are passed to USB layer and DMA is performed on them. To fix the problem we align buffers and reserve space after them to make them match cache line. This patch does not resolve all possible MIPS problems entirely, for that we have to assure that we always map cache aligned buffers for DMA, what can be complex or even not possible. But patch fixes visible and reproducible regression and seems other possible corruptions do not happen in practice, since Yeeloong laptop works stable without rtl8187 driver.

rtl818x: change misleading names for few register bit definitions

2014-02-12T20:31:49Z

In rtl8180/rtl8187 drivers, few register bit definitions have names of form FOOBAR_SHIFT, suggesting they should be used as shift offset, for example reg |= (1 << ENABLE_FOO_SHIFT). However they are actually defined as (1 << x) and thus they are used (correctly) like reg |= ENABLE_FOO_SHIFT; This patch kills the misleading _SHIFT suffix.

wireless: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-03T20:37:01Z

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next.
