2010-03-06bitops: rename for_each_bit() to for_each_set_bit()Akinobu Mita
Rename for_each_bit to for_each_set_bit in the kernel source tree. To permit for_each_clear_bit(), should that ever be added. The patch includes a macro to map the old for_each_bit() onto the new for_each_set_bit(). This is a (very) temporary thing to ease the migration.

2010-02-26ath9k: disable RIFS search for AR91xx based chipsFelix Fietkau
While ath9k does not support RIFS yet, the ability to receive RIFS frames is currently enabled for most chipsets in the initvals. This is causing baseband related issues on AR9160 and AR9130 based chipsets, which can lock up under certain conditions. This patch fixes these issues by overriding the initvals, effectively disabling RIFS for all affected chipsets. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Acked-by: Luis R.

2010-02-19ath9k: fix beacon timer restart after a card resetFelix Fietkau
In AP mode, ath_beacon_config_ap only restarts the timer if a TSF restart is requested. Apparently this was added, because this function unconditionally sets the flag for TSF reset. The problem with this is, that ath9k_hw_reset() clobbers the timer registers (specified in the initvals), thus effectively disabling the SWBA interrupt whenever a card reset without TSF reset is issued (happens in a few places in the code). This patch fixes ath_beacon_config_ap to only issue the TSF reset flag when necessary, but reinitialize the timer unconditionally. Tests show, that this is enough to keep the SWBA interrupt going after a call to ath_reset() Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-02-19ath9k: fix rate control fallback rate selectionFelix Fietkau
When selecting the tx fallback rate, rc.c used a separate variable 'nrix' for storing the next rate index, however it did not use that as reference for further rate index lowering. Because of that, it ended up reusing the same rate for multiple multi-rate retry stages, thus decreasing delivery probability under changing link conditions. This patch removes the separate (unnecessary) variable and fixes fallback the way it was intended to work. This should result in increased throughput and better link stability.

2010-02-12ath9k: add a workaround for ack timeout issuesFelix Fietkau
Adding support for setting the coverage class in some cases broke association and data transfer, as it overwrote the initial ACK timeout value from the initvals with a smaller value. I don't know why the new value works in 5 GHz (matches the initval there), but not in 2.4 GHz (initvals use 64us here), so until the problem is fully understood, the value should be increased again.

2010-01-25ath9k: improve max rate retry handlingFelix Fietkau
ath9k currently forces hw->max_rate_tries to 4 to work around rate control inefficiencies. This has some negative side effects, such as rate_control_send_low also using a maximum of 4 tries, which could negatively affect reliability of unicast management frames. This patch pushes the retry limit to the rate control instead, and allows it to use more tries on the last stage to prevent unnecessary packet loss.

The beacon sent gating doesn't seem to work with any combination of flags. Thus, buffered frames tend to stay buffered forever, using up tx descriptors.

2010-01-19ath9k: fix RTS/CTS handlingFelix Fietkau
The Tx DMA descriptor has two kinds of flags that select RTS/CTS usage. The first one (global for the frame) selects whether RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self should be used, the second one enables RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self usage for an individual multi-rate-retry entry. Previously the code preparing the descriptor only enabled the global flag, if the first MRR series selected the local one. Fix this by enabling the global flag if any of the MRR entries need it. With this patch, rate control can properly select the use of RTS/CTS for all MRR entries except the first one, which is the default behavior.
