Today's implementation allow LED to blink based on the traffic
condition. We introduce an additional LED mode that reflects the RF
state.
The supported LED modes after this are:
IWL_LED_BLINK (current/default) - blink rate based on current Tx/Rx
traffic
IWL_LED_RF_STATE (new) -
LED OFF: No power/RF disabled, the LED is emitting no light
LED ON: Powered/RF enabled, the LED is emitting light
in a stable non-flashing state.
In order to provide the flexibility to support different LED
behavior per user/system preference we add "led_mode" iwlcore module
parameter.

Current rate scale algorithm fluctuates between different MIMO modes fairly
rapidly, causing widely varying performance. These fluctuations occur because in
the rate_scale tables for expected throughput the values are not very different
for different modes.
However, when aggregation is turned on and MAC overhead is reduced, the
expected throughput for different MIMO modes grows and different modes have
vastly different performance. Add expected throughput tables for this case.
We also need to keep track of aggregation status per-station, so we add the
"is_agg" field to struct lq_sta.
Also includes cleanup of comments and variable names in/around the affected

When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.
The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.
When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.
By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.
For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

The chain settings we currently use in iwlwifi are
rather confusing -- and we also go by the wrong
settings entirely under certain circumstances. To
clean it up, create a new variable in the current
HT config -- single_chain_sufficient -- that tells
us whether we need more than one chain. Calculate
that based on the AP and operating mode (no IBSS
HT implemented -- so no need for multiple chains,
for station mode we use the AP's capabilities).
Additionally, since APs always send disabled SM PS
mode, keeping track of their sm_ps mode isn't very
useful -- doubly not so for our _own_ RX config
since that should depend on our, not the AP's, SM
PS mode.
Finally, document that our configuration of the
number of RX chains used is currently wrong when
in powersave (by adding a comment).
All together this removes the two remaining items
in struct iwl_ht_config that were done wrong there.
For the future, the number of RX chains and some
SM PS handshaking needs to be added to mac80211,
which then needs to tell us, and the new variable
current_ht_config.single_chain_sufficient should
also be calculated by mac80211.

The address stored in the next link address is a word address but when

valid so return an error.
The algorithm is simply valid blocks have a next address and that
address's contents is zero.
Using the wrong address for the next link address gets arbitrary data,
obviously. In cases seen, the first block is considered valid when it is not.
If the block has in fact been invalidated there may be old data or
there may be no data, bad data, or partial data, there is no way of
telling. Without this patch it is possible that a device with valid OTP data

We keep track of where to write into a buffer by keeping a count of how
much has been written so far. When writing to the buffer we thus take the
buffer pointer and adding the count of what has been written so far.
Keeping track of what has been written so far is done by incrementing
this number every time something is written to the buffer with how much has
been written at that time.
Currently this number is incremented incorrectly when using the
"hex_dump_to_buffer" call to add data to the buffer. Fix this by only
adding what has been added to the buffer in that call instead of what has
been added since beginning of buffer.

Replenishment of receive buffers is done in the tasklet handling
received frames as well as in a workqueue. When we are in the tasklet
we cannot sleep and thus attempt atomic skb allocations. It is generally
not a big problem if this fails since iwl_rx_allocate is always followed
by a call to iwl_rx_queue_restock which will queue the work to replenish
the buffers at a time when sleeping is allowed.
We thus add the __GFP_NOWARN to the skb allocation in iwl_rx_allocate to
reduce the noise if such an allocation fails while we still have enough
buffers. We do maintain the warning and the error message when we are low
on buffers to communicate to the user that there is a potential problem with
memory availability on system

commit 10c994ca70e8e94bbc85a5bf13de5911ee8de4d2 "iwlwifi: fix remove key
error" fixed an error reported by mac80211 during interface down. The fix
involved changing an async command to synchronous. Unfortunately this was
inside a spinlock section in which we cannot sleep.
Modify the sending of the command back to async. This causes the mac80211
error "mac80211-phy0: failed to remove key (0, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) from
hardware (-16)." to return. This error is not serious since this occurs
during interface down and the keys will be cleared anyway when ucode is
unloaded. Having this error message is thus less serious than a potential
deadlock introduced when sleeping while holding a spinlock. We will have to
find another fix for that error.

RX handling maintains a few lists that keep track of the RX buffers.
Buffers move from one list to the other as they are used, replenished, and
again made available for usage. In one such instance, when a buffer is used
it enters the "rx_used" list. When buffers are replenished an skb is
attached to the buffer and it is moved to the "rx_free" list. The problem
here is that the buffer is first removed from the "rx_used" list _before_ the
skb is allocated. Thus, if the skb allocation fails this buffer remains
removed from the "rx_used" list and is thus lost for future usage.
Fix this by first allocating the skb before trying to attach it to a list.
We add an additional check to not do this unnecessarily.

Some concerns were raised about the automatic adjustment
of sleep intervals to all the same, potentially high,
value, and I can imagine the hardware behaving better
when we don't ask too much of it.
So let's convert to use a succession of sleep levels
when requesting to go to deeper sleeps (which can only
happen with large DTIM intervals), using the succession
values from power level three, which have the benefit of
also having been tested extensively already.
As a result, the automatic sleep level adjustment will
now be mostly equivalent to power level three, except
for the RX/TX timeouts and possibly using smaller sleep
vectors to account for networking latency.

For HT packets, mac80211 expects the rate_idx to be an MCS number, which is the
lower byte of rate_n_flags. However, iwl_hwrate_to_plcp_idx takes the MCS
number and reduces it down to the range 0-8 (6 to 60 Mbps), removing the bits
that signify multiply streams, HT40 Duplicate mode, or unequal modulation.
This version is used for various internal purposes through the driver.
Add the function iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx, an alternate version which takes
the rate and the band and returns the mac80211 index (MCS, for HT packets, and
PLCP rate, for legacy packets).

Refactor and correct rate selection for outgoing transmitted
packets.
First, note that HT rates in the mac80211 rate table do not provide valid
indices when ieee80211_get_tx_rate is called; the check to see if we could to
abort a transmission early in iwl_tx_skb() would thus occasionally read invalid
memory and occasionally stall transmission (if the erroneous byte was 0xff).
We remove that code; the check wasn't valid anyway.
Second, iwl_tx_cmd_build_rate() also called ieee80211_get_tx_rate to be used
for sending management packets, which do not use the uCode station table. This
patch refactors that function and adds comments to enhance legibility, replaces
the call to ieee80211_get_tx_rate() with a direct lookup, and adds error
handling in case the table entry is invalid.

The ICT IRQ table is a set of __le32 values, not u32 values,
so when reading it we need to take into account that it has
to be converted to CPU endianness. This was causing a lot of
trouble on my powerpc box where various things would simply
not work for no apparent reason with 5xxx cards, but worked
with 4965 -- which doesn't use the ICT table.

Commit 1ccb84d87d04df3c76cd4352fe69786d8c7cf016 by Wey-Yi Guy
("iwlwifi: clean up unused NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR for Monitor mode")
broke injection of non-broadcast frames to unassociated stations
(causing a SYSASSERT for all such injected frames), due to injected
frames no longer automatically getting a broadcast station ID assigned.
This patch restores the old behavior, fixing the aforementioned
regression.
Also, consistently check for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED instead of
iwl_is_monitor_mode in the TX path, as TX_CTL_INJECTED specifically
means that a given packet is coming from a monitor interface, while
iwl_is_monitor_mode only shows whether a monitor interface exists
on the device.

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.
A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

The field called 'len' in struct iwl_rx_packet is in fact not just a length
field but also includes some flags from the flow handler. In several places
throughout the driver, this causes incorrect values to be interpreted as
lengths when the field is improperly masked.
In most situations the improper use is for debugging output, and simply results
in an erroneous message, such as:
[551933.070224] ieee80211 phy0: I iwl_rx_statistics Statistics notification received (480 vs -1367342620).
which should read '(480 vs 484)'.
In at least one case this could case bad things to happen:
void iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif(struct iwl_priv *priv,
struct iwl_rx_mem_buffer *rxb)
{
struct iwl_rx_packet *pkt = (struct iwl_rx_packet *)rxb->skb->data;
IWL_DEBUG_RADIO(priv, "Dumping %d bytes of unhandled "
"notification for %s:\n",
le32_to_cpu(pkt->len), get_cmd_string(pkt->hdr.cmd));
iwl_print_hex_dump(priv, IWL_DL_RADIO, pkt->u.raw, le32_to_cpu(pkt->len)
);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif);
Given the rampant misuse of this field without proper masking throughout the
driver (every use but one), this patch renames the field from 'len' to
'len_n_flags' to reduce confusion. It also adds the proper masking when
this field is used as a length value.

Depending on required latency requested by pm_qos (via mac80211)
we can automatically adjust the sleep state. Also, mac80211 has
a user-visible dynamic sleep feature where we are supposed to
stay awake after sending/receiving frames to better receive
response frames to our packets, this can be integrated into the
sleep command.
Currently, and this patch doesn't change that yet, we default
to using sleep level 1 if PS is enabled. With a module parameter
to iwlcore, automatic adjustment to changing network latency
requirements can be enabled -- this isn't yet the default due
to requiring more testing.
The goal is to enable automatic adjustment and then go into the
deepest possible sleep state possible depending on the networking
latency requirements.
This patch does, however, enable IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS
to avoid the double-timer (one in software and one in the device)
when transmitting -- the exact timeout may be ignored but that is
not of big concern.
Note also that we keep the hard-coded power indices around for
thermal throttling -- the specification of that calls for using
the specified power levels. Those can also be selected in debugfs
to allow easier testing of such parameters.

commit "iwlwifi: uCode Alive notification with timeout" introduced a more
reliable mechanism for ucode loading. Unfortunately we hit a problem with
it frequently enough to make a 4965 unusable. The problem can be seen in
debug log below. What this code attempts is to set runtime ucode up to
load, start a timer to wait for the alive response from runtime ucode, and
if it times out it tries again. As can be seen below we receive the alive
response and wake the waiting task _before_ the tasks starts waiting. The
task thus times out as the alive response is not received while it is
waiting for it and it restarts the device. This starts the cycle all over
again.

"debug=0x1800000" - log both tx and rx traffic
The traffic log will store the beginning portion (64 bytes) of the

Commit "iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly" cleaned up the
debug level handling. In doing so it created a single global debug
level for all devices. Some setups do consits of more that one iwlwifi
device and in these setups there is a requirement that debug levels
should be unique per device.
We now re-introduce the per device debugging while maintaining the
cleanup effort of the previous patch.
The maintain the global debug level and now introduce a per-device debug
level that will be used if it (the per-device debug level) is set. The
per-device debug level can be controlled via the debug_level sysfs file
while the global debug level is controlled by the debug module parameter.

A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:
"cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"
We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.
By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
support such enhancements when world roaming.
Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.
We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
world wide.
This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
upon wiphy registration.
I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.

The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess:
1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver
and device data in a single packed structure -- this
is very confusing
2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a
structure by embedding the latter in the former, which
is also rather confusing because it leads to weird
unions and similarly odd constructs
3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands,
even if only 32 end up being used
This patch fixes these things:
1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of
command metadata and device command separately, in
two arrays in each tx queue
2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only
put in the required members
3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of
embedding them into the txq structure

then measure the temperature.
If temperature is above CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode go backto sleep;
if temperature is below CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode send Card State

I had a problem on 4965 hardware (well, probably other hardware too,
but others don't survive my stress testing right now, unfortunately)
where the driver was sending invalid commands to the device, but no
such thing could be seen from the driver's point of view. I could
reproduce this fairly easily by sending multiple TCP streams with
iperf on different TIDs, though sometimes a single iperf stream was
sufficient. It even happened with a single core, but I have forced
preemption turned on.
The culprit was a queue overrun, where we advanced the queue's write
pointer over the read pointer. After careful analysis I've come to
the conclusion that the cause is a race condition between iwlwifi
and mac80211.
mac80211, of course, checks whether the queue is stopped, before
transmitting a frame. This effectively looks like this:
lock(queues)
if (stopped(queue)) {
unlock(queues)
return busy;
}
unlock(queues)
... <-- this place will be important
there is some more code here
drv_tx(frame)
The driver, on the other hand, can stop and start queues, which does
lock(queues)
mark_running/stopped(queue)
unlock(queues)
[if marked running: wake up tasklet to send pending frames]
Now, however, once the driver starts the queue, mac80211 can see that
and end up at the marked place above, at which point for some reason the
driver seems to stop the queue again (I don't understand that) and then
we end up transmitting while the queue is actually full.
Now, this shouldn't actually matter much, but for some reason I've seen
it happen multiple times in a row and the queue actually overflows, at
which point the queue bites itself in the tail and things go completely
wrong.
This patch fixes this by just dropping the packet should this have
happened, and making the lock in iwlwifi cover everything so iwlwifi
can't race against itself (dropping the lock there might make it more
likely, but it did seem to happen without that too).
Since we can't hold the lock across drv_tx() above, I see no way to fix
this in mac80211, but I also don't understand why I haven't seen this
before -- maybe I just never stress tested it this badly.
With this patch, the device has survived many minutes of simultanously
sending two iperf streams on different TIDs with combined throughput
of about 60 Mbps.

* 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.

We need to provide a reasonable minimum that will result in a
working setup if used. Set minimum to be 10 to provide for
4 standard TX queues + 1 command queue + 2 (unused) HCCA queues +
4 HT queues (one per AC).
We allow the user to change the number of queues used via a module
parameter and use this minimum value to check if it is valid. Without
this patch a user can select a value for the number of queues that
will result in a failing setup.

* Rename maximum number of queue (TFD_QUEUE_MAX) to IWL39_NUM_QUEUES to
be consistent with rest of iwlwifi.
* Remove unused defines.
* Fix loops that iterate over number of TX queues to stop when maximum is reached
(currently it is maximum + 1).
* Remove queues_num module parameter as it is not used.

debugfs files are created with 644 permissions which gives everybody
read access. This presents a security issue if a user opens the file and
holds it open at the time the driver removes the file. At this point
invalid memory will be accessed.
Fix this by only allowing root to read debugfs files.

The byte count table is only used for aggregation. Updating it
in other cases caused fragmented frames to be dropped.

This changes the power_level file to adhere to the "one value
per file" sysfs rule. The user will know which power level was
requested as it will be the number just written to this file. It
is thus not necessary to create a new sysfs file for this value.
In addition it fixes a problem where powertop's parsing expects
this value to be the first value in this file without any descriptions.

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.
