2009-04-22ath9k: Remove the useless do..while loopsSujith1-23/+17
These are unnecessary constructs in a function. This patch removes these from both RX and TX init routines. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-04-22ath9k: Cleanup buffer status handlingSujith1-5/+4
Using a u32 to store a single flag is overkill. Use a bool to store whether the buffer is stale or not. Also, use u8 instead of u32 to store the buffer type. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-03-27ath9k: Fix bug in reporting status of tx rateVasanthakumar Thiagarajan1-13/+22
This patch updates count of every hw tried rate with appropriate tries before reporting tx status of a frame. Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vasanth@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-03-27ath9k: Fix rate control update for aggregated framesVasanthakumar Thiagarajan1-8/+18
We will miss rate control update if first A-MPDU of an aggregation is not Block Acked as we always tell if the rate control needs to updated through update_rc of first A-MPDU. This patch does rate control update for the first A-MPDU which notifies it's tx status (which is not necessarily the first A-MPDU of an aggregation) to mac80211.

2009-03-16ath9k: downgrade xmit queue full message to xmit debugLuis R. Rodriguez1-1/+1
This is not a fatal message, hitting it simply means we're going to tell the upper layers to slow their horses down but as we make more descriptors available we let the show continue by waking up the queues in ath_wake_mac80211_queue(). We downgrade this as otherwise we fill up your kernel log with messages which can be common under heavy traffic. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-03-16ath9k: Fix bug in TX aggregationSujith1-16/+33
mac80211 expects the driver to fill in the starting sequence number of an ADDBA request to initiate TX aggregation. IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU would be set for frames only after a successful ADDBA exchange, but we have to increment the internal sequence counter for the normal(non-AMPDU) data frames proerly.

2009-03-05ath9k: Virtual wiphy pause/unpause functionalityJouni Malinen1-2/+9
Allow virtual wiphys to be paused/unpaused to allow off-channel operations. Pause will stop all TX queues for the wiphy and move the STA into power save mode if in managed mode. Unpause wakes up the TX queues and notifies the AP that the STA woke up if in managed mode. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-02-09ath9k: Handle mac80211's RC flags for MCS ratesSujith1-95/+40
mac80211 notifies the RC algorithm if RTS/CTS and short preamble are needed. The RC flags for MCS rates are currently not handled by mac80211, and ath9k's RC doesn't set the flags either. Fix this. Also, set the rts_cts_rate_idx inside the RC algorithm. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-01-12ath9k: Revert fix to TX status reporting for retries and MCS indexJouni Malinen1-9/+1
This patch reverts "ath9k: Fix TX status reporting for retries and MCS index" because that change ended up breaking ath9k rate control. While the MCS index reporting to mac80211 was indeed fixed by the patch, it did not take into account that the ath9k rate control algorithm was updating private tables based on this index and the index comes through the rate control API call, i.e., based on mac80211 TX status call. In addition, it looks like the "fix" to remove +1 from TX status 'count' field was not correct based on ieee80211_tx_status() implementation that counts the total of count values, but starting from -1, not 0. The TX status reporting for frames using MCS needs to be fixed somehow, but it does not look like there is any easy fix for the ath9k rate control algorithm, so the best option now seems to be to revert the change and bring it back once the rate control code is cleaned up to handle this better.
