rt2x00: fix rmmod crash

2011-06-06T19:24:18+00:00

Avoid queue and run autowakeup_work when device is not present anymore.
That prevent rmmod and device remove crash introduced by:

rt2x00: Fix rmmod hang of rt2800pci

txstatus_timer should only be deleted for USB devices, as it is only
initialized for USB devices.

rt2x00: Add autowake support for USB hardware

2011-05-02T18:49:19+00:00

The USB drivers don't support automatically waking up when in powersaving mode,
add a work object which will wakeup the device in time to receive the next beacon.
Based on that beacon, we either go back into powersaving mode, or we remain awake
to receive the buffered frames for our station.

Some part of the code, especially rt2x00lib_find_ie and rt2x00lib_rxdone_check_ps
are inspired on the code from carl9170.

rt2800usb: add timer to handle TX_STA_FIFO

2011-04-19T19:39:35+00:00

TX status is reported by the hardware when a packet has been
sent (or after TX failed after possible retries), which is some
time after the DMA completion.  Since the rt2800usb hardware can
not signal interrupts we have to use a timer, otherwise the
TX status would only be read by the next packet's TX DMA
completion, or by the watchdog thread.

rt2x00: fix queue timeout checks

2011-04-19T19:39:30+00:00

Add a timestamp to each queue entry which is updated whenever
the status of the entry changes, and remove the per-queue
timestamps.  The previous check was incorrect and caused both
false positives and false negatives.

With the corrected check it comes apparent that the TX status
usually times out on rt2800usb unless there is sufficient traffic
(i.e. the next TX will complete the previous TX status).

rt2x00: Split rt2x00dev->flags

2011-04-19T19:39:11+00:00

The number of flags defined for the rt2x00dev->flags field,
has been growing over the years. Currently we are approaching
the maximum number of bits which are available in the field.

A secondary problem, is that one part of the field are initialized only
during boot, because the driver requirements are initialized or device
requirements are loaded from the EEPROM. In both cases, the flags are
fixed and will not change during device operation. The other flags are
the device state, and will change frequently. So far this resulted in the fact
that for some flags, the atomic bit accessors are used, while for the others
the non-atomic variants are used.

By splitting the flags up into a "flags" and "cap_flags" we can put all flags
which are fixed inside "cap_flags". This field can then be read non-atomically.
In the "flags" field we keep the device state, which is going to be read atomically.

This adds more room for more flags in the future, and sanitizes the field access methods.

rt2x00: Fix tx aggregation problems with some clients

2011-04-04T20:20:04+00:00

Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
rt2x00 should send a BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU
subframe fails.

Introduce a new flag TXDONE_AMPDU to indicate that this is an AMPDU
subframe and pass IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to mac80211 if an
AMPDU subframe failed during transmission.

This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).

rt2x00: Implement tx power temperature compensation

2011-04-04T20:20:03+00:00

rt2800 devices should adjust their tx power in accordance with the
eeproms temperature calibration values. Add a new driver callback
gain_calibration that is called every 4 seconds.

The rt2800 gain calibration routine simply runs the tx power
configuration that takes care of calculating the temperature
compensation delta.

We don't need to synchronize the calls to rt2800_config_txpower
as they should all happen from mac80211's single threaded workqueue.

rt2x00: Remove obsolete rt2x00queue_align_payload

2011-04-04T20:20:03+00:00

Since commit d1c3a37ceeb1a5ea02991a0476355f1a1d3b3e83 ("mac80211:
clarify alignment docs, fix up alignment") removed the requirement
for a 4-byte aligned payload rt2x00queue_align_payload is obsolete
as mac80211 will align the payload when it passes the frame to the
net stack.

As a result we can remove the call to rt2x00queue_align_payload in the
rx path and since that's the last user we can remove
rt2x00queue_align_payload altogether.

One advantage is that we save some alignment operations for frames
that don't need to be aligned (for example beause they are not passed
to the net stack).
