iwlegacy: fix channel switch locking

2011-06-08T18:19:05+00:00

We use priv->mutex to avoid race conditions between chswitch_done()
and mac_channel_switch(), when marking channel switch in
progress. But chswitch_done() can be called in atomic context
from rx_csa() or with mutex already taken from commit_rxon().

To fix remove mutex from chswitch_done() and use atomic bitops
for marking channel switch pending.

iwlagn: send tx power command if defer cause by RXON not match

2011-06-08T18:17:27+00:00

During channge channel, tx power will not send to uCode, the tx power command
should send after scan complete. but should also can send after RXON command.

Stable fix identified by Stanislaw Gruszka .

rtlwifi: Avoid modifying skbs that are resubmitted

2011-06-07T18:19:07+00:00

In the case we fail to allocate a new skb, the old skb should
be resubmitted unmodified.

Fixes bug introduced in a9e12869758430424804.

iwl4965: set tx power after rxon_assoc

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

Setting tx power can be deferred during scan or changing channel.
If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send
tx power settings also after partial rxon change, to assure device
always be configured with up-to-date settings.

iwlagn: use cts-to-self protection on 5000 adapters series

2011-06-06T19:24:17+00:00

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.

These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:

vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946

This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:

patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683

However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:

wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out

On 2.6.35 kernel patch helps against connection hangs with messages:

iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: queue 10 stuck 3 time. Fw reload.
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: On demand firmware reload
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: Stopping AGG while state not ON or starting
