    rt2x00: Don't let mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails

To fix problem workaround by above commit use
IEEE80211_HW_TEARDOWN_AGGR_ON_BAR_FAIL flag (see change log for
"mac80211: introduce IEEE80211_HW_TEARDOWN_AGGR_ON_BAR_FAIL" patch).

rt2x00: Don't let mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails 2013-01-16T01:13:22+00:00 Andreas Hartmann andihartmann@01019freenet.de 2012-04-16T22:25:28+00:00 226d487976cff4f4328c664a58e4dc027c4e0209 commit be03d4a45c09ee5100d3aaaedd087f19bc20d01f upstream. There are connection stalls or very poor throughputs with rt2800 hardware using 802.11n in AP mode since patch "mac80211: retry sending failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggr"[1][2]. Since rt2800 hardware is not able to correctly report the tx status of BAR frames, this patch removes as workaround the existing error handling on AP side, which lets mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails. As a result, most wifi clients (aside from Intel STAs on Windows) instead will timeout now the reorder buffer and request the lost frame again. The correct solution would be, to tear down BA session on AP side. This patch was born on the basis of "[RFT] rt2x00: Tear down BA session on QoS frame failure"[3].

iwlwifi: don't handle masked interrupt 2013-01-03T03:33:35+00:00 Emmanuel Grumbach emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com 2012-11-28T08:51:34+00:00 a4616d110b0de31d3ee0f447daf220be104aab42 commit 25a172655f837bdb032e451f95441bb4acec51bb upstream. This can lead to a panic if the driver isn't ready to handle them. Since our interrupt line is shared, we can get an interrupt at any time (and CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ checks that even when the interrupt is being freed). If the op_mode has gone away, we musn't call it. To avoid this the transport disables the interrupts when the hw is stopped and the op_mode is leaving. If there is an event that would cause an interrupt the INTA register is updated regardless of the enablement of the interrupts: even if the interrupts are disabled, the INTA will be changed, but the device won't issue an interrupt. But the ISR can be called at any time, so we ought ignore the value in the INTA otherwise we can call the op_mode after it was freed. I found this bug when the op_mode_start failed, and called iwl_trans_stop_hw(trans, true). Then I played with the RFKILL button, and removed the module. While removing the module, the IRQ is freed, and the ISR is called (CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled). Panic.

ath9k_hw: Fix signal strength / channel noise reporting 2013-01-03T03:33:33+00:00 Felix Fietkau nbd@openwrt.org 2012-12-10T13:03:17+00:00 f271af61a44cfe3d8c1b74ed4a7b9d79821026eb commit b7c0c238898d200e80487516e2b67aba2a522cc0 upstream. While AR_PHY_CCA_NOM_VAL_* does contain the expected internal noise floor for a chip measured in clean air, it refers to the lowest expected reading. Depending on the frequency, this measurement can vary by about 6db, thus causing a higher reported channel noise and signal strength.

The cause of the error is that the OTP register

Revert "ath9k_hw: Update AR9003 high_power tx gain table" 2013-01-03T03:33:32+00:00 Felix Fietkau nbd@openwrt.org 2012-12-06T17:40:11+00:00 c9d0bebf4f44ed7f28965207ead52460b1aee53b commit 9c170e068636deb3e3f96114034bb711675f0faa upstream. This reverts commit f74b9d365ddd33a375802b064f96a5d0e99af7c0. Turns out reverting commit a240dc7b3c7463bd60cf0a9b2a90f52f78aae0fd "ath9k_hw: Updated AR9003 tx gain table for 5GHz" was not enough to bring the tx power back to normal levels on devices like the Buffalo WZR-HP-G450H, this one needs to be reverted as well. This revert improves tx power by ~10 db on that device Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com Signed-off-by: John W.
