rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix too long disable of IRQs

2014-03-05T16:13:42Z

[Q]-0 (stream=0, delta=15903, new_hw_ptr=293408, old_hw_ptr=277505) The exact code flow that causes that is: 1. wpa_supplicant send a start_scan request to the nl80211 driver 2. mac80211 module call rtl_op_config with IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE 3. rtl_ips_nic_on is called which disable local irqs 4. rtl92c_phy_set_rf_power_state() is called 5. rtl_ps_enable_nic() is called and hw_init()is executed and then the interrupts on the device are enabled A good solution could be to refactor the code to avoid calling rtl92ce_hw_init() with the irqs disabled but a quick and dirty solution that has proven to work is to reenable the irqs during the function rtl92ce_hw_init(). I think that it is safe doing so since the device interrupt will only be enabled after the init function succeed. Signed-off-by: Olivier Langlois Acked-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W.

rtlwifi: Fix incorrect return from rtl_ps_enable_nic()

2014-03-05T16:13:42Z

commit 2e8c5e56b307271c2dab6f8bfd1d8a3822ca2390 upstream. rtl_ps_enable_nic() is called from loops that will loop until this function returns true or a maximum number of retries is performed. hw_init() returns non-zero on error. In that situation return false to restore the original design intent to retry hw init when it fails. Signed-off-by: Olivier Langlois Acked-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W.

rtl8187: fix regression on MIPS without coherent DMA

2014-03-05T16:13:41Z

commit b6213e413a4e0c66548153516b074df14f9d08e0 upstream. This patch fixes regression caused by commit a16dad77634 "MIPS: Fix potencial corruption". That commit fixes one corruption scenario in cost of adding another one, which actually start to cause crashes on Yeeloong laptop when rtl8187 driver is used. For correct DMA read operation on machines without DMA coherence, kernel have to invalidate cache, such it will refill later with new data that device wrote to memory, when that data is needed to process. We can only invalidate full cache line. Hence when cache line includes both dma buffer and some other data (written in cache, but not yet in main memory), the other data can not hit memory due to invalidation. That happen on rtl8187 where struct rtl8187_priv fields are located just before and after small buffers that are passed to USB layer and DMA is performed on them. To fix the problem we align buffers and reserve space after them to make them match cache line. This patch does not resolve all possible MIPS problems entirely, for that we have to assure that we always map cache aligned buffers for DMA, what can be complex or even not possible. But patch fixes visible and reproducible regression and seems other possible corruptions do not happen in practice, since Yeeloong laptop works stable without rtl8187 driver.

iwlwifi: mvm: don't allow A band if SKU forbids it

2014-02-22T21:32:25Z

commit c512865446e6dd5b6e91e81187e75b734ad7cfc7 upstream. The driver wasn't reading the NVM properly. While this didn't lead to any issue until now, it seems that there is an old version of the NVM in the wild. In this version, the A band channels appear to be valid but the SKU capabilities (another field of the NVM) says that A band isn't supported at all. With this specific version of the NVM, the driver would think that A band is supported while the HW / firmware don't. This leads to asserts.

ath9k: Do not support PowerSave by default

commit 8298383c2cd5a6d0639f1bb1781fba181bd20154 upstream. Even though we make sure PowerSave is not enabled by default by disabling the flag, WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT on init, PS could be enabled by userspace based on various factors like battery usage etc. Since PS in ath9k is just broken and has been untested for years, remove support for it, but allow a user to explicitly enable it using a module parameter.

ath9k_htc: make ->sta_rc_update atomic for most calls

2014-02-22T21:32:25Z

commit 2fa4cb905605c863bf570027233af7afd8149ae4 upstream. sta_rc_update() callback must be atomic, hence we can not take mutexes or do other operations, which can sleep in ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(). I think we can just return from ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(), if it is called without IEEE80211_RC_SUPP_RATES_CHANGED bit. That will help with scheduling while atomic bug for most cases (except mesh and IBSS modes). For mesh and IBSS I do not see other solution like creating additional workqueue, because sending firmware command require us to sleep, but this can be done in additional patch.
