   Since zd_beacon_done also uploads the next beacon so long in advance,
   there could be an equally long race between the outdated state of the
   next beacon's DTIM broadcast traffic indicator (802.11-2007 7.3.2.6)
   which -in your case- was uploaded almost a beacon interval ago and
   the xmit of ieee80211_get_buffered_bc *now*.

   The dtim bc/mc bit might be not set, when a mc/bc arrived after the
   beacon was uploaded, but before the "beacon done event" from the
   hardware. So, dozing stations don't expect the broadcast traffic
   and of course, they might miss it completely.

   It's probably better to fix this in mac80211 (see the attached hack).

The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211
netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file
makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using
invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one
of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast
frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current
BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only

wl1251: fix queue stopping/waking for TX path

The queue stopping/waking functionality was broken in a way that could
cause the TX to stall if the right circumstances are met.

The problem was caused by tx_work, which is scheduled on each TX operation.
If the firmware buffer is full, tx_work does nothing. In combinition with
stopped queues or non-continues transfers, tx_work is never scheduled again.
Moreover the low watermark introduced by
9df86e2e702c6d5547aced7f241addd2d698bb11 never takes effect because of some
old code.

Solve this by scheduling tx_work every time tx_queue is non-empty and
firmware buffer is freed on tx_complete.

This also solves a possible but unlikely case: If less frames than the high
watermark are queued, but more than firmware buffer can hold. This results
in queues staying awake but the only scheduled tx_work doesn't transfer all
frames, so the remaining frames are stuck in the queue until more frames
get queued and tx_work is scheduled again.

13 years agort2x00: Refactor beacon code to make use of start- and stop_queue
Helmut Schaa [Sun, 30 Jan 2011 12:16:03 +0000 (13:16 +0100)]
rt2x00: Refactor beacon code to make use of start- and stop_queue

This patch allows to dynamically remove beaconing interfaces without
shutting beaconing down on all interfaces.

The only place to start and stop beaconing are now the start- and
stop_queue callbacks. Hence, we can remove some register writes during
interface bring up (config_intf) and only write the correct sync mode
to the register there.

When multiple beaconing interfaces are present we should enable
beaconing as soon as mac80211 enables beaconing on at least one of
them. The beacon queue gets stopped when the last beaconing
interface was stopped by mac80211. Therefore, introduce another
interface counter to keep track ot the number of enabled beaconing
interfaces and start or stop the beacon queue accordingly.

To allow single interfaces to stop beaconing, add a new driver
callback clear_beacon to clear a single interface's beacon without
affecting the other interfaces. Don't overload the clear_entry callback
for clearing beacons as that would introduce additional overhead
(check for each TX queue) into the clear_entry callback which is used
on the drivers TX/RX hotpaths.

Furthermore, the write beacon callback doesn't need to enable beaconing
anymore but since beaconing should be disabled while a new beacon is
written or cleared we still disable beacon generation and enable it
afterwards again in the driver specific callbacks. However, beacon
related interrupts should not be disabled/enabled here, that's solely
done from the start- and stop queue callbacks. It would be nice to stop
the beacon queue just before the beacon update and enable it afterwards
in rt2x00queue itself instead of the current implementation that relies
on the driver doing the right thing. However, since start- and
stop_queue are mutex protected we cannot use them for atomic beacon
updates.

13 years agonet/wireless/nl80211.c: Avoid call to genlmsg_cancel

net/wireless/nl80211.c: Avoid call to genlmsg_cancel

genlmsg_cancel subtracts some constants from its second argument before
calling nlmsg_cancel.  nlmsg_cancel then calls nlmsg_trim on the same
arguments.  nlmsg_trim tests for NULL before doing any computation, but a
NULL second argument to genlmsg_cancel is no longer NULL due to the initial
subtraction.  Nothing else happens in this execution, so the call to
genlmsg_cancel is simply unnecessary in this case.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

// <smpl>
@@
expression data;
@@

if (data == NULL) { ...
* genlmsg_cancel(..., data);

ath5k: Fix short and long retry configuration

The register definition for retry configuration on AR5212 was wrong, and simply
copied over from AR5210. Update the register definitions from the documentation.

Let the short and long retries be configured from mac80211 and use the standard
values of 7 and 4 by default. Also we need to make sure we don't export more
retries than we are configured for to mac80211 (and the rate module) in
hw->max_rate_tries.

Also clean up the code by removing unused defines and variables and drop the
different values for "station retries" - if these need to be different it can
be handled tru ah_retry_long/short.
