2009-08-28p54: fix broadcast buffering in AP modeChristian Lamparter
The patch "mac80211: fix PS-poll response race" somehow broke broadcast buffering in a funny way. During normal operation - stations are awake - the firmware refused to transmit broadcast frames and reported P54_TX_PSM_CANCELLED. But everything worked as soon as one station entered PSM. The reason: The stack sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM for outgoing broadcast frames as soon as a station is marked as sleeping. This flag triggers a path which will reroute these frames into p54's "content after beacon" queue, which is designed to cope with the demands for psm. This patch restores the old behavior. IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT will once again be used to signalize the firmware to ignore the ps canceling for certain frames.

2009-08-14p54: implement rfkillChristian Lamparter
This patch implements a basic rfkill support for p54 hardware and removes a rfkill related WARNING: fwio.c: In function ‘p54_setup_mac’: fwio.c:323: warning: ‘radio_enabled’ is deprecated. by abandoning radio_enable in flavour for IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE.

2009-08-04mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueueLuis R. Rodriguez
The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-07-27mac80211: fix PS-poll response, raceJohannes Berg
When a station queries us for a PS-poll response, we wrongly queue the frame on the virtual interface's queue rather than the pending queue. Additionally, fix a race condition where we could potentially send multiple frames to the sleeping station due to using a station flag rather than a packet flag. When converting to a packet flag, we can also convert p54 and remove the filter clearing we added for it. (Also remove a now dead function) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Reported-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Tested-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Cc: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-07-24p54: re-enable power save featureChristian Lamparter
This patch re-enables p54's power save features and adds a workaround which temporarily alters the device's power state in order to allow ps-polls to be sent and buffered data to be retrieved during psm.

Larry Finger discovered a weird behavior under load. In essence, the queue's length count under runs, which in turn renders the associated ac queue unusable.
