2012-09-07wireless: ath9k-htc: only load firmware in needMing Lei1-1/+3
It is not necessary to hold the firmware memory during the whole driver lifetime, and obviously it does waste memory. Suppose there are 4 ath9k-htc usb dongles working, kernel has to consume about 4*50KBytes RAM to cache firmware for all dongles. After applying the patch, kernel only caches one single firmware image in RAM for all ath9k-htc devices just during system suspend/resume cycle. When system is ready for loading firmware, ath9k-htc can request the loading from usersapce. During system resume, ath9k-htc still can load the firmware which was cached in kernel memory before system suspend. Cc: ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org Cc: "Luis R.

2012-01-30ath9k_htc: Load firmware asynchronouslySujith Manoharan1-1/+2
This patch modifies ath9k_htc to load the needed firmware in an asynchronous manner, fixing timeouts that were introduced with the new udev changes. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2011-05-19ath9k_htc: Fix mode selectionSujith Manoharan1-1/+1
Remove all the unsupported modes like FH, TURBO etc. Since this requires a FW update, increase the fw version to 1.3 Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2011-04-25ath9k_htc: Fix AMPDU subframe handlingSujith Manoharan1-0/+3
* Register the driver's maximum ampdu subframe limit to mac80211. * Cleanup the target capabilities structure and fix an endian issue. * Fix BTCOEX by sending a command to the target when the BT priority changes. * Bump the required firmware version to 1.1 Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-04-13ath9k_htc: Use separate URB pool for management framesSujith Manoharan1-0/+1
Beacon transmission needs to involve as little latency as possible after receiving a SWBA event from the target. Since packets are buffered to use TX stream mode, beacon frames sometimes gets queued up and are not sent out immediately. Fix this by decoupling management frame transmission from the normal data path and send them out immediately. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-04-13ath9k_htc: Increase URB count for REG_IN pipeSujith Manoharan1-2/+2
Using a single URB for receiving WMI events is insufficient, increase it to 64 to not lose WMI events in high throughput situations. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-04-13ath9k_htc: Reduce TX queue sizeSujith Manoharan1-1/+1
The current max queue length of 1024 is quite large and unnecessary. 256 suffices well enough even for high throughput situations. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-01-04ath9k_htc: Handle pending URBs properlySujith Manoharan1-0/+1
When doing a channel change, the pending URBs have to be killed properly on calling htc_stop(). This fixes the probe response timeout seen when sending UDP traffic at a high rate and running background scan at the same time.

2010-12-07ath9k_htc: Cleanup device identificationSujith Manoharan1-0/+2
ath.ko is a common module shared between ath5k, ar9170usb, ath9k and ath9k_htc. Adding driver specific data to the shared structure would impact all the drivers. Handling USB device recognition for devices specific to ath9k_htc can be handled within the driver itself. Also, AR7010 refers to the processor used in both AR9280/AR9287 based devices. Rename the device enumerations accordingly. While at it, check properly for the bus type when choosing the EEPROM base address for UB95.

2010-06-04ath9k_htc: Add support for AR7010Sujith1-0/+1
Add the USB device IDs for AR7010 and handle firmware loading properly. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-06-04ath9k: Determine Firmware on probeSujith1-0/+1
Do not assign the FW name to driver_info but determine it dynamically on device probe. This facilitates adding new firmware. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-04-26ath9k_htc: Simplify TX URB managementSujith1-1/+0
This patch simplifies URB management for transmission, by removing the 'FLUSH' variable (which is not needed, since we can determine if the URB has been killed by looking at the URB status), and also handling the STOP case properly.

2010-04-08ath9k_htc: Use anchors for REGOUT pipeSujith1-0/+1
hif_usb_regout_cb() frees the given URB, which is borked by design. Use an anchor to simplify URB management. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-04-08ath9k_htc: Fix module unloading issueSujith1-0/+1
The maximum number of packets in a single buffer in stream mode is 10. The driver currently uses 8 - which caused stack corruption, in the absence of any kind of OOB checking. Fixing this to the correct value of 10 fixes the module unload issue. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Tested-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-04-08ath9k_htc: Protect RX stream variablesSujith1-0/+1
Use a spin lock to prevent concurrent access to variables dealing with RX stream mode handling. Currently, no protection is implemented - which causes problems in RX. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-03-31ath9k_htc: Simplify RX URB managementSujith1-5/+2
This patch introduces the usage of URB anchors, thus reducing a large amount of code dealing with URB maintenance within the driver. The RX callback now takes care of freeing the SKB associated with each URB. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
