2013-01-22ath9k: clean up processing of pending tx frames on resetFelix Fietkau1-33/+10
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. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-11-21ath9k: Fix the 'xmit' debugfs fileSujith Manoharan1-0/+2
The 'xmit' debugfs file has become big and unwieldy, fix multiple issues with its usage: * Store TX counters/statistics only for the 4 Access Categories. Use IEEE80211_NUM_ACS instead of ATH9K_NUM_TX_QUEUES. * Move various utility macros to debug.h, they can be reused elsewhere. * Remove tx_complete_poll_work_seen. * Remove code that accesses various internal queue-specific variables without any locking whatsoever. HW/SW queue details will be handled in a subsequent patch. * Do not print internal values like txq_headidx and txq_headidx. They were mostly unused anyway, considering code like: PRX("txq_tailidx: ", txq_headidx); * Handle 'txprocdesc' for EDMA too.

2012-10-30ath9k: Test for TID only in BlockAcks while checking tx statusSven Eckelmann1-2/+6
The ath9k xmit functions for AMPDUs can send frames as non-aggregate in case only one frame is currently available. The client will then answer using a normal Ack instead of a BlockAck. This acknowledgement has no TID stored and therefore the hardware is not able to provide us the corresponding TID. The TID set by the hardware in the tx status descriptor has to be seen as undefined and not as a valid TID value for normal acknowledgements. Doing otherwise results in a massive amount of retransmissions and stalls of connections. Users may experience low bandwidth and complete connection stalls in environments with transfers using multiple TIDs. This regression was introduced in b11b160defc48e4daa283f785192ea3a23a51f8e ("ath9k: validate the TID in the tx status information").

2012-10-29ath9k: fix stale pointers potentially causing access to free'd skbsFelix Fietkau1-0/+2
bf->bf_next is only while buffers are chained as part of an A-MPDU in the tx queue. When a tid queue is flushed (e.g. on tearing down an aggregation session), frames can be enqueued again as normal transmission, without bf_next being cleared. This can lead to the old pointer being dereferenced again later. This patch might fix crashes and "Failed to stop TX DMA!" messages.

2012-09-07ath9k: Fix TX filter usageSujith Manoharan1-1/+1
The TX filter bit for a station would be set by the HW when a frame is not acked. A frame would be completed with ATH9K_TXERR_FILT status only when the corresponding filter bit for the destination station is already set. Currently, un-acknowledged packets are added to the pending queue and retried, but the "clear_dest_mask" bit in the descriptor is set only when the TX status has been ATH9K_TXERR_FILT. This results in packet loss and the log shows: wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746071 wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746076 wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746377 ... ... This issue can be resolved by making sure that the destination mask is cleared when the packet is being retried and the earlier TX status is ATH9K_TXERR_XRETRY.

mac80211 adds stations in HT IBSS as soon as a frame comes by, even if the HT capabilities are not known yet (they are often received later, e.g. in beacons). So far, ampdu factor/density are only calculated when the station is initially added. This patch changes this to update ampdu factor/density settings when starting a blockack session.
