14 years agoiwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly
Reinette Chatre [Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:30:24 +0000 (09:30 -0700)]
iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly

* Deprecate the "debug50" module parameter used to obtain
  5000 series and up debugging. Replace it with "debug" module
  parameter to match with original driver and be consistent
  between them. The "debug50" module parameter can still be used,
  except that the module parameter is not writable in keeping
  with its previous state. We currently just mark it as "deprecated"
  and do not have it in the feature-removal-schedule. Some more
  cleanup of module parameters needs to be done and can then be
  entered together.

* Only make "debug" module parameters visible if the driver
  is compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG. This will eliminate
  a lot of confusion where users think they have set debug flags
  but yet cannot see any debug output.

* Make module parameters writable. This eliminates the need for the
  "debug_level" sysfs file, which can now also be deprecated and
  added to feature-removal-schedule. This file is in significant
  use though with many iwlwifi documents and text referring users
  to it. We can thus not take its removal lightly and keep it around.

With iwlcore shared between iwlagn and iwl3945 we really do not need
debug module parameters for each but can instead have one debug
module parameter for the iwlcore module. The same issue is here as
with the sysfs file - a lot of iwlwifi documentation and text (like
bug reports) rely on iwlagn and iwl3945 having this module parameter,
so changing this to a module parameter of iwlcore will have significant
impact and we do not do this for that reason.

One consequence of this patch is that if a user is running a system
with both 3945 and later hardware then the setting of the one module
parameter will affect the value of the other. The likelihood of this
seems low - and even if this setup is present it does not seem like an
issue for both modules to run with the same debug level.

ath9k: Fix TX hang issue with Atheros chipsets

The hardware doesn't generate interrupts in some cases and so work
around this by monitoring the TX status periodically and reset the
chip if required.

This behavior of the hardware not generating the TX interrupts can
be noticed through ath9k debugfs interrupt statistics when heavy
traffic is being sent from STA to AP. One can easily see this behavior
when the STA is transmitting at a higher rates. The interrupt statistics
in the debugfs interface clearly shows that only RX interrupts alone
being generated and TX being stuck.

TX should be monitored through a timer and reset the chip only when
frames are queued to the hardware but TX interrupts are not generated
for the same even after one second. Also, we shouldn't remove holding
descriptor from AC queue if it happens to be the only descriptor and
schedule TX aggregation regarless of queue depth as it improves
scheduling of AMPDUs from software to hardware queue.

ath9k: RX stucks during heavy traffic in HT40 mode.

Running iperf along with p2p traffic on both TX and RX side then
stop one side, then stop the other side, then start it up again,
eventually the STA gets into a mode that it can not pass data at
all.

A hardware workaround for invalid RSSI can make FIFO write pointer
to jump over read pointer, causing RX data corruption and repeated
DMA. Both TX and RX works fine when the workaround is disabled.

To replace the original hardware work around, software looks for
frames with post delimiter CRC error and mark the RSSI invalid so
that the upperlayer will not use the RSSI associated with this
frame. So disable the hardware workaround by updating the appropriate

mac80211: Assign next hop address to pending mesh frames

Assign next hop address to pending mesh frames once the path is resolved.

Regression.  Frames transmitted when a mesh path was wating to be resolved were
being transmitted with an invalid Receiver Address.

[Changes since v1]

Suggested by Johannes:
 - Improved frame_queue traversal
 - Narower RCU scope

cfg80211: fix two buglets

This fixes two small bugs:
 1) the connect variable is already initialised, and the
    assignment to auth_type overwrites the previous setting
    with a wrong value
 2) when all authentication attempts fail, we need to report
    that we couldn't connect

cfg80211_wext_giwrate doesn't lock the wdev, so it
cannot access current_bss race-free. Also, there's
little point in trying to ask the driver for an AP
