2009-11-18iwlwifi: handle unicast PS bufferingJohannes Berg8-42/+113
Using the new mac80211 functionality, this makes iwlwifi handle unicast PS buffering correctly. The device works like this: * when a station goes to sleep, the microcode notices this and marks the station as asleep * when the station is marked asleep, the microcode refuses to transmit to the station and rejects all frames queued to it with the failure status code TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST_PS (a previous patch handled this correctly) * when we need to send frames to the station _although_ it is asleep, we need to tell the ucode how many, and this is asynchronous with sending so we cannot just send the frames, we need to wait for all other frames to be flushed, and then update the counter before sending out the poll response frames. This is handled partially in the driver and partially in mac80211. In order to do all this correctly, we need to * keep track of how many frames are pending for each associated client station (avoid doing it for other stations to avoid the atomic ops) * tell mac80211 that we driver-block the PS status while there are still frames pending on the queues, and once they are all rejected (due to the dest sta being in PS) unblock mac80211 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-11-18iwlwifi: fix bugs in beacon configurationDaniel C Halperin2-21/+63
When sending beacon commands to the uCode, we must inform it of the offset in the beacon frame of the TIM Element so it can transmit packets from the correct queue. This functionality is implemented in iwl_set_beacon_tim(). Fix a bug setting the rate_n_flags for the beacon packet. First, it should not use the station table's rate (it's a management frame), and second it needs to properly configure the TX antennas. Finally, also, clean up and comment relevant functions.

2009-11-18iwlagn: power up device before initializing EEPROMReinette Chatre1-3/+6
A recent change optimized the power usage by the device by only powering it up during EEPROM load if it is required (for OTP devices). This change causes an error on the 1000 series devices during module load.

2009-11-18iwlwifi: eliminate the possible 1/2 dBm tx power loss in 6x00 & 6x50 seriesWey-Yi Guy3-14/+52
In both 6x00 and 6x50 series, the enhanced/extended tx power table in EEPROM is used to set the max. tx power limit. This new tx power table is in 1/2 dBm format, which creates an issue of possibility of 1/2 dBm loss when driver set the tx power limit; because of driver keep track and report the tx power in dBm format. In order to prevent the 1/2 dBm loss, keep track of the true max tx power in 1/2 dBm format in driver; do the comparison and adjust the tx power if needed when send tx power command to uCode.

Power-saving logic will not re-issue a POWER_TABLE_CMD if a new command matches the prior one. This can be bad if we re-start the device due to e.g. uCode error; the new POWER_TABLE_CMD (required to invoke power-saving) may match the prior POWER_TABLE_CMD issued before the uCode error.

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ? In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously. [PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105 real 0m0.266s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s real 0m0.770s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s real 0m1.022s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the holding of device done by following chain : vlan_dev_stop() -> netif_carrier_off(dev) -> linkwatch_fire_event(dev) -> dev_hold() ... And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later... A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method to unlink the device from the list of watched devices. dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory), to be able to unlink device in O(1).

2009-11-18net: introduce NETDEV_UNREGISTER_PERNETOctavian Purdila2-2/+28
This new event is called once for each unique net namespace in batched unregister operations (with the argument set to a random device from that namespace) and once per device in non-batched unregister operations. It allows us to factorize some device unregister work such as clearing the routing cache. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-11-17macvlan: Precise RX stats accountingEric Dumazet1-10/+66
With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call macvlan RX routines simultaneously for the same macvlan device. We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can get slightly wrong counters. One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs between cpus. Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu data per macvlan device. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

znet was including "wireless/i82593.h" (which is a bit wierd), and I missed that when I relocated i82593.h to drivers/staging/wavelan. Since I don't have ISA turned-on in my normal .config, I didn't see the build failures -- mea culpa! Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
