13 years agobcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver
Rafał Miłecki [Mon, 9 May 2011 16:56:46 +0000 (18:56 +0200)]
bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.

In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
initialization.

Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).

Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
used for accessing cores on the bus.

13 years agoiwlwifi: support the svtool messages interactions through nl80211 test mode
Cindy H. Kao [Fri, 6 May 2011 17:40:15 +0000 (10:40 -0700)]
iwlwifi: support the svtool messages interactions through nl80211 test mode

This patch adds the feature to support the test mode operation through
the generic netlink channel NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE between intel
wireless device iwlwifi and the user space application svtool.

The main purpose is to create a transportation layer between the iwlwifi
device and the user space application so that the interaction between the
user space application svtool and the iwlwifi device in the kernel space is
in a way of generic netlink messaging.

The detail specific functions are:

1. The function iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to digest the svtool test command
   from the user space application. The svtool test commands are categorized  to
   three types : commands to be processed by the device ucode, commands to access
   the registers, and commands to be processed at the driver level(such as reload
   the ucode). iwl_testmode_cmd() dispatches the commands the corresponding handlers
   and reply to user space regarding the command execution status. Extra data is
   returned to the user space application if there's any.

2. The function iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is added to multicast all the spontaneous
   messages from the iwlwifi device to the user space. Regardless the message types,
   whenever there is a valid spontaneous message received by the iwlwifi ISR,
   iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is invoked to multicast the message content to user
   space. The message content is not attacked and the message parsing is left to
   the user space application.

Implementation guidelines:

1. The generic netlink messaging for iwliwif test mode is through  NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE
   channel, therefore, the codes need to follow the regulations set by cfg80211.ko
   to get the actual device instance ieee80211_ops via cfg80211.ko, so that the iwlwifi
   device is indicated with ieee80211_ops and can be actually accessed.

   Therefore, a callback iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to the structure
   iwlagn_hw_ops in iwl-agn.c.

2. It intends to utilize those low level device access APIs from iwlwifi device driver
   (ie. iwlagn.ko) rather than creating it's own set of device access functions.
   For example, iwl_send_cmd(), iwl_read32(), iwl_write8(), and iwl_write32() are reused.

3. The main functions are maintained in new files instead of spreading all over the
   existing iwlwifi driver files.

   The new files added are :

   drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sv-open.c
        - to handle the user space test mode application command
          and reply the respective command status to the user space application.
        - to multicast the spontaneous messages from device to user space.

   drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-testmode.h
        - the commonly referenced definitions for the TLVs used in
          the generic netlink messages

13 years agolibertas: remove tx_timeout handler
Daniel Drake [Mon, 2 May 2011 20:38:16 +0000 (21:38 +0100)]
libertas: remove tx_timeout handler

As described at http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=130428493104730&w=2
libertas frequently generates spurious tx timeouts, because the tx
queue is brought down for extended periods during scanning. The net
layer takes a look and incorrectly assumes the queue has been down for
several seconds, and generates a tx_timeout.

One way to fix this is to bump the trans_start counter while scanning
so that the network layer knows that the device is still alive, but
I think the tx_timeout handler is implemented wrongly here and not of
any real use, so I vote to remove it.

As explained at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130430311115755&w=2
the watchdog is primarily meant to deal with lockup on the hardware TX
path (detected by the tx queue being stopped for an extended period of
time), but this is unlikely to happen with libertas. In this case, the tx
queue is stopped only while waiting for lbs_thread to send the queued frame
to the driver, and lbs_thread wakes up the queue immediately after, even
if the frame could not be sent correctly.

So, the only hardware-related possibility that this catches is if
hw_host_to_card hangs - this is something I have never seen. And if it
were to happen, nothing done by lbs_tx_timeout would actually wake up
lbs_thread any quicker than otherwise.

Removing this oddly-behaving spuriously-firing tx_timeout handler should
fix an occasional kernel crash during resume

13 years agowl12xx: fix race condition during recovery in AP mode

wl12xx: fix race condition during recovery in AP mode

When operating as AP, the TX queues are not stopped when we start
recovery. mac80211 is notified only after the fact. When there is
pending TX, it will be queued even after the FW is down. This leads to
situations where the TX queues are stopped (because of the TX-watermark
mechanism), and are never woken up when we return from recovery.

Fix this by explicitly stopping the TX queues when before initiating
recovery.
