ath5k: fix spontaneus AR5312 freezes

2015-03-18T12:22:35+00:00

commit 8bfae4f9938b6c1f033a5159febe97e441d6d526 upstream.

Sometimes while CPU have some load and ath5k doing the wireless
interface reset the whole WiSoC completely freezes. Set of tests shows
that using atomic delay function while we wait interface reset helps to
avoid such freezes.

The easiest way to reproduce this issue: create a station interface,
start continous scan with wpa_supplicant and load CPU by something. Or
just create multiple station interfaces and put them all in continous
scan.

This patch partially reverts the commit 1846ac3dbec0 ("ath5k: Use
usleep_range where possible"), which replaces initial udelay()
by usleep_range().

I do not know actual source of this issue, but all looks like that HW
freeze is caused by transaction on internal SoC bus, while wireless
block is in reset state.

Also I should note that I do not know how many chips are affected, but I
did not see this issue with chips, other than AR5312.

iwlwifi: mvm: always use mac color zero

2015-03-06T22:40:48+00:00

commit 5523d11cc46393a1e61b7ef4a0b2d4e7ed9521e4 upstream.

We don't really need to use different mac colors when adding mac
contexts, because they're not used anywhere.  In fact, the firmware
doesn't accept 255 as a valid color, so we get into a SYSASSERT 0x3401
when we reach that.

Remove the color increment to use always zero and avoid reaching 255.

iwlwifi: mvm: fix failure path when power_update fails in add_interface

2015-03-06T22:40:48+00:00

commit fd66fc1cafd72ddf27dbec3a5e29e99839d1bc84 upstream.

When iwl_mvm_power_update_mac() is called, we have already added the
mac context, so if this call fails we should remove the mac.

commit 2cee4762c528a9bd2cdff793197bf591a2196c11 upstream.

These are coming from the FW and are used to access arrays.
Bad values can cause an out of bounds access so discard

iwlwifi: pcie: disable the SCD_BASE_ADDR when we resume from WoWLAN

2015-03-06T22:40:48+00:00

commit cd8f438405032ac8ff88bd8f2eca5e0c0063b14b upstream.

The base address of the scheduler in the device's memory
(SRAM) comes from two different sources. The periphery
register and the alive notification from the firmware.
We have a check in iwl_pcie_tx_start that ensures that
they are the same.
When we resume from WoWLAN, the firmware may have crashed
for whatever reason. In that case, the whole device may be
reset which means that the periphery register will hold a
meaningless value. When we come to compare
trans_pcie->scd_base_addr (which really holds the value we
had when we loaded the WoWLAN firmware upon suspend) and
the current value of the register, we don't see a match
unsurprisingly.
Trick the check to avoid a loud yet harmless WARN.
Note that when the WoWLAN has crashed, we will see that
in iwl_trans_pcie_d3_resume which will let the op_mode
know. Once the op_mode is informed that the WowLAN firmware
has crashed, it can't do much besides resetting the whole
device.

ath5k: fix hardware queue index assignment

2015-01-16T14:59:00+00:00

commit 9e4982f6a51a2442f1bb588fee42521b44b4531c upstream.

Like with ath9k, ath5k queues also need to be ordered by priority.
queue_info->tqi_subtype already contains the correct index, so use it
instead of relying on the order of ath5k_hw_setup_tx_queue calls.

commit ad8fdccf9c197a89e2d2fa78c453283dcc2c343f upstream.

The driver passes the desired hardware queue index for a WMM data queue
in qinfo->tqi_subtype. This was ignored in ath9k_hw_setuptxqueue, which
instead relied on the order in which the function is called.

rt2x00: do not align payload on modern H/W

2014-12-06T23:05:49+00:00

commit cfd9167af14eb4ec21517a32911d460083ee3d59 upstream.

RT2800 and newer hardware require padding between header and payload if
header length is not multiple of 4.

For historical reasons we also align payload to to 4 bytes boundary, but
such alignment is not needed on modern H/W.

Patch fixes skb_under_panic problems reported from time to time:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84911
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=139108549530402&w=2
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1087591

Panic happened because we eat 4 bytes of skb headroom on each
(re)transmission when sending frame without the payload and the header
length not being multiple of 4 (i.e. QoS header has 26 bytes). On such
case because paylad_aling=2 is bigger than header_align=0 we increase
header_align by 4 bytes. To prevent that we could change the check to:

	if (payload_length && payload_align > header_align)
		header_align += 4;

but not aligning payload at all is more effective and alignment is not
really needed by H/W (that has been tested on OpenWrt project for few
years now).

iwlwifi: configure the LTR

2014-11-21T17:22:53+00:00

commit 9180ac50716a097a407c6d7e7e4589754a922260 upstream.

The LTR is the handshake between the device and the root
complex about the latency allowed when the bus exits power
save. This configuration was missing and this led to high
latency in the link power up. The end user could experience
high latency in the network because of this.
