mac80211: fix channel assumption for association done work

Be consistent and use the wk->chan instead of the
local->hw.conf.channel for the association done work.
This prevents any possible races against channel changes
while we run this work.

In the case that the race did happen we would be initializing
the bit rates for the new AP under the assumption of a wrong
channel and in the worst case, wrong band. This could lead
to trying to assuming we could use CCK frames on 5 GHz, for
example.

This patch has a fix for kernels >= v2.6.34

rt2x00: Work around hw aggregation oddity in rt2800

still decide to aggregate this frame if a previous frame started an
AMPDU. However, this will limit the usefulness of the reported tx rate
since the reported rate will be the one specified in the TXWI of the
first frame and thus it is not possible to reliably caculate the
number of retrys by substracting the reported tx rate from the tx rate
in the TXWI.

To fix this issue, only report the successful rate for frames that were
not meant to be aggregated but ended up in an aggregate.

Example:
Frame A (MCS7, AMPDU=1) B (MCS7, AMPDU=1) C (MCS12, AMDPU=0, PROBE_RATE)

Although frame C shoudn't be aggregated the hw might sill put it
into an AMPDU together with A and B. If the transmission succeeds the tx
status will contain MCS7 for all three frames. In that case we should
only report MCS7 as success rate and avoid reporting MCS12-MCS8 as
failed tx attempts as this will affect the future rate control
decisions.

This oddity might strike us in other scenarious as well but the most
common "wrong" report happened for frames used to probe a different tx
rate.

This improves the rate control decisions notable.

rt2x00: Fix race between dma mapping and clearing rx entries in rt2800pci

14 years agort2x00: rework tx status handling in rt2800pci
Helmut Schaa [Sat, 2 Oct 2010 09:27:35 +0000 (11:27 +0200)]
rt2x00: rework tx status handling in rt2800pci

This patch changes the way tx status reports are handled by rt2800pci.
Previously rt2800pci would sometimes lose tx status reports as the
TX_STA_FIFO register is a fifo of 16 entries that can overflow in case
we don't read it often/fast enough. Since interrupts are disabled in the
device during the execution of the interrupt thread it happend sometimes
under high network and CPU load that processing took too long and a few
tx status reports were dropped by the hw.

To fix this issue the TX_STA_FIFO register is read directly in the
interrupt handler and stored in a kfifo which is large enough to hold
all status reports of all used tx queues.

To process the status reports a new tasklet txstatus_tasklet is used.
Using the already used interrupt thread is not possible since we don't
want to disable the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt while processing them and
it is not possible to schedule the interrupt thread multiple times for
execution. A tasklet instead can be scheduled multiple times which
allows to leave the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt enabled while a previously
scheduled tasklet is still executing.

In short: All other interrupts are handled in the interrupt thread as
before. Only the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt is partly handled in the
interrupt handler and finished in the according tasklet.

One drawback of this patch is that it duplicates some code from
rt2800lib. However, that can be cleaned up in the future once the
rt2800usb and rt2800pci tx status handling converge more.

Using this patch on a Ralink RT3052 embedded board gives me a reliable
wireless connection even under high CPU and network load. I've
transferred several gigabytes without any queue lockups.

configures the WMM parameters to the driver is the wmm_last_param_set
counter value is changed by the AP.

The wmm_last_param_set is initialized to -1 on association in order to ensure
the configuration is made to the driver at least once on association, but
currently this initialization is done *after* the WMM parameter configuration
function was called.

This leads to unreliability in the driver getting properly configured on first
association (depending on what counter value the AP happens to use.) When
disassociating (the wmm default parameters are configured to the driver) and
then reassociating, due to the above the WMM configuration is not set to the
driver at all.

On drivers without beacon filtering the problem is corrected by later beacons,
but on drivers with beacon filtering the WMM will remain permanently incorrectly
configured.

Fix this by moving the initialization of wmm_last_param_set to -1 before
ieee80211_sta_wmm_params is called on association.

14 years agoiwl3945: queue the right work if the scan needs to be aborted

iwl3945: queue the right work if the scan needs to be aborted

iwl3945's scan_completed calls into the mac80211 stack which triggers a
warn on if there is no scan outstanding.

This can be avoided by not calling scan_completed but abort_scan in
iwl3945_request_scan  in the done: branch of the function which is used
as an error out.

The done: branch seems to be an error-out branch, as, for example, if
iwl_is_ready(priv) returns false  the done: branch is executed.

NOTE:
I'm not familiar with the driver at all.
I just quickly scanned as a reaction to

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17722

the users of scan_completed in the  iwl3945 driver and noted the odd
discrepancy between the comment above this instance and the comment in
mac80211 scan_completed function.

wl1271: Optimize scan duration

Currently then dwell times for each channel in scans is set to an overly
long value, and excessive number of probe-requests are transmitted on each
channel (for active scans.)

Based on testing, comparable results can be received with smaller dwell-time,
and, with fever probe-requests - in fact, reducing the number of probe-requests
to 2 seems to increase the number of found results.

Configure more optimal values for per channel dwell times. Comparison for the
different scan configurations (in my current office environment):

dwell-time 60000   3x probe-req == ~60 results
           40000   3x probe-req == ~50 results
           30000   3x probe-req == ~40 results

dwell-time 60000   2x probe-req == ~70 results
           40000   2x probe-req == ~60 results
           30000   2x probe-req == ~58 results

The above are results for a cumulative 3 scan run. For individual scans, the
number of results drop slightly more.
