ath9k's entire logic with SC_OP_SCANNING is incorrect due to the
way mac80211 currently implements the scan complete callback and
we handle it in ath9k. This patch removes the flag completely in
preference for the SC_OP_OFFCHANNEL which is really what we wanted.
The scanning flag was used to ensure we reset ANI to the old values
when we go back to the home channel, but if we are offchannel we
use some defaults. The flag was also used to re-enable the TX monitor.
Without this patch we simply never re-enabled ANI and the TX monitor
after going offchannel. This means that after one background
scan we are prone to noise issues and if we had a TX hang we would
not recover. To get this to work properly we must enable ANI after
we have configured the beacon timers, otherwise hardware acts really
oddly.
This patch has stable fixes which apply down to [2.6.36+], there
*may* be a to fix this on older kernels but requires a bit of
work since this patch relies on the new mac80211 flag
IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which was introduced as of 2.6.36.

When we return to the home channel we were never reseting our beacon
timers, this was casued by the fact that the scanning flag was still
on even after we returned to our home channel. There are also other
reasons why we would get a reset and if we are not off channel
we always need to resynch our beacon timers, because a reset will
clear them.
This bug is a regression introduced on 2.6.36. The order of the
changes are as follows:
5ee08656 - Sat Jul 31 - ath9k: prevent calibration during off-channel activity
a0daa0e7 - Tue Jul 27 - Revert "mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing"
543708be - Fri Jun 18 - mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing
mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \
--contains 5ee0865615
v2.6.36-rc1~43^2~34^2~22
mcgrof@tux ~/linux-2.6-allstable (git::master)$ git describe \

v2.6.36-rc1~571^2~107^2~187
So 5ee08656 would have worked if a0daa0e7 was not committed but
it was so this means 5ee08656 was broken since it assumed that
when we were in the channel change routine the scan flag would
be lifted. As it turns out the scan flag will be set when we
are already on the home channel.
For more details refer to:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=5715
These issues will need to be considered for our solution on
reshifting the scan complete callback location on mac80211 on
current development kernel work.

ath9k has a race on putting the chip into network sleep and
having registers read from hardware. The race occurs because
although ath9k_ps_restore() locks its own callers it makes use
of some variables which get altered in the driver at different
code paths. The variables are the ps_enabled and ps_flags.
This is easily reprodicible in large network environments when
roaming with the wpa_supplicant simple bgscan. You'd get some
0xdeadbeef read out on certain registers such as:
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x806c: 0xdeadbeef & 0x01f00000 != 0x00000000
ath: RX failed to go idle in 10 ms RXSM=0xdeadbeef
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000
ath: Chip reset failed
The fix is to protect the ath9k_config(hw, IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_PS)
calls with a spin_lock_irqsave() which will disable contendors for
these variables from interrupt context, timers, re-entry from mac80211
on the same callback, and most importantly from ath9k_ps_restore()
which is the only call which will put the device into network sleep.
There are quite a few threads and bug reports on these a few of them are:

At the time the .add_interface driver op is called, the interface has not
been marked as running yet, so ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces will
not pass it to the iterator function.
Because of this, the calculated BSSID mask is wrong, which breaks multi-BSS
operation.
Additionally, the current way of comparing all addresses against each other
is pointless, as the hardware only uses the hardware MAC address and the BSSID
mask for matching the destination address, so all the address array
reallocation is completely unnecessary.
This patch simplifies the logic by setting the initial mask bytes to 0xff
and removing all bits in the iterator call that don't match the hardware MAC
address. It also calls the iterator for the vif that was passed to
add_interface()

When the noise floor limits are being bypassed because of strong
interference, sensitivity is also reduced.
In order to recover from this as quickly as possible, trigger a
long periodic calibration every second instead of every 30 seconds,
until the NF median is within limits again. This is especially important
if the interference lasts for a while, since it takes multiple clean
NF calibrations to bring the median back to normal.

The noise floor history buffer is currently not kept per channel, which
can lead to problems when changing channels from a clean channel to a
noisy one. Also when switching from HT20 to HT40, the noise floor
history buffer is full of measurements, but none of them contain data
for the extension channel, which it needs quite a bit of time to recover
from.
This patch puts all the per-channel calibration data into a single data
structure, and gives the the driver control over whether that is used
per-channel or even not used for some channels.
For ath9k_htc, I decided to keep this per-channel in order to avoid
creating regressions.
For ath9k, the data is kept only for the operating channel, which saves
some space. ath9k_hw takes care of wiping old data when the operating
channel or its channel flags change.

Previously the software scan callback was used to indicate to the hardware,
when it was safe to calibrate. This didn't really work properly, because it
depends on a specific order of software scan callbacks vs. channel changes.
Also, software scans are not the only thing that triggers off-channel
activity, so it's better to use the newly added indication from mac80211 for
this and not use the software scan callback for anything calibration related.
This fixes at least some of the invalid noise floor readings that I've seen
in AP mode on AR9160

There are few places where ANI is started without checking
if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani
timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess
during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with
paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a
chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking
if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled
even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic.
This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani
needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset().
This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen

This adds support for ANI for AR9003. The implementation for
ANI for AR9003 is slightly different than the one used for
the older chipset families. It can technically be used for
the older families as well but this is not yet fully tested
so we only enable the new ANI for the AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002
families with a module parameter, force_new_ani.
The old ANI implementation is left intact.
Details of the new ANI implemention:
* ANI adjustment logic is now table driven so that each ANI level
setting is parameterized. This makes adjustments much more
deterministic than the old procedure based logic and allows
adjustments to be made incrementally to several parameters per
level.
* ANI register settings are now relative to INI values; so ANI
param zero level == INI value. Appropriate floor and ceiling
values are obeyed when adjustments are combined with INI values.
* ANI processing is done once per second rather that every 100ms.
The poll interval is now a set upon hardware initialization and
can be picked up by the core driver.
* OFDM error and CCK error processing are made in a round robin
fashion rather than allowing all OFDM adjustments to be made
before CCK adjustments.
* ANI adjusts MRC CCK off in the presence of high CCK errors
* When adjusting spur immunity (SI) and OFDM weak signal detection,
ANI now sets register values for the extension channel too
* When adjusting FIR step (ST), ANI now sets register for FIR step
low too
* FIR step adjustments now allow for an extra level of immunity for
extremely noisy environments
* The old Noise immunity setting (NI), which changes coarse low, size
desired, etc have been removed. Changing these settings could affect
up RIFS RX as well.
* CCK weak signal adjustment is no longer used
* ANI no longer enables phy error interrupts; in all cases phy hw
counting registers are used instead
* The phy error count (overflow) interrupts are also no longer used
for ANI adjustments. All ANI adjustments are made via the polling
routine and no adjustments are possible in the ISR context anymore
* A history settings buffer is now correctly used for each channel;
channel settings are initialized with the defaults but later
changes are restored when returning back to that channel
* When scanning, ANI is disabled settings are returned to (INI) defaults.
* OFDM phy error thresholds are now 400 & 1000 (errors/second units) for
low/high water marks, providing increased stability/hysteresis when
changing levels.
* Similarly CCK phy error thresholds are now 300 & 600 (errors/second)

Because there is a limited number of tx buffers available, once the
queue has been filled to a certain point, ath9k needs to stop accepting
new frames from mac80211. In order to prevent a full WMM queue from
stopping another queue with fewer frames, this patch limits the number
of queued frames to a quarter of the total available tx buffers, minus
some reserved frames to be used for other purposes (e.g. beacons).
Because tx buffers are reserved for frames when they're staged in
software queues as well, the actual queue depth cannot be used for
this, so this patch stores a reference to the tx queue in the ath_buf
struct and keeps track of the total number of pending frames.

When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that
the traffic may be lost after a while.
The detailed phenomenon is
1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get
into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered
successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally.
2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well,
because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the
broadcast trouble.
It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this
issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet.
I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k.
The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and
associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware
supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160.
Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems
to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.

The newer single chip hardware family of chipsets have not been
experiencing issues with power saving set by default with recent
fixes merged (even into stable). The remaining issues are only
reported with AR5416 and since enabling PS by default can increase
power savings considerably best to take advantage of that feature
as this has been tested properly.
For more details on this issue see the bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14267
We leave AR5416 with PS disabled by default, that seems to require
some more work.

AMDPDU actions poke hardware for TX operation, as such
we want to turn hardware on for these actions. AMDPU RX operations
do not require hardware on as nothing is done in hardware for
those actions. Without this we cannot guarantee hardware has
been programmed correctly for each AMPDU TX action.

Software padding is done on the TX path and software unpadding is done on the
RX path. This patch corrects the position where the padding occurs. A specific
function computes the pad position and this function is used in the TX and RX
path. This patch has been tested by generating every possible 802.11 frames
with every possible frame_control field and a varying length. This patch is
useful for analyzing non standard 802.11 frames going over the air

When mac80211 was telling us to go into Powersave we listened
and immediately turned RX off. This meant hardware would not
see the ACKs from the AP we're associated with and hardware
we'd end up retransmiting the null data frame in a loop
helplessly.
Fix this by keeping track of the transmitted nullfunc frames
and only when we are sure the AP has sent back an ACK do we
go ahead and shut RX off.

This patch changes ath9k to pass proper MCS indexes and flags
between the RC and the rest of the driver code.
sc->cur_rate_table remains, as it's used by the RC code internally,
but the rest of the driver code no longer uses it, so a potential
new RC for ath9k would not have to update it.

* Remove a code chunk dealing with operating mode changes.
As noted, all such policy changes are to be done in
add_interface.
* Remove pointless check for empty BSSID.
Also, remove mode checks - mac80211 does all the needed checks.
* Handle enabling/disabling beacon transmission properly.
* Handle beacon interval changes for AP mode.
The original code depended on config_interface() to update
the HW TSF. Since that callback has been removed, handle
it properly.
* Remove unneeded code dealing with key/privacy.
* Set the chainmasks to 1x1 for IBSS when the BSSID is set.

We use the ieee80211_hw for radio enable/disable but the wrong
structure hw was being used in consideration for virtual wiphys
as each virtual wiphy has its own ieee80211_hw struct.
Just pass the hw struct to ensure we use the right one. This should
fix the hw used and passed for radio enable/disable. This includes
the stoping / starting of the software TX queues so mac80211 doesn't
send us data for a specific virtual wiphy. ath9k already takes care
of pausing virtual wiphys and stopping the respective queues on its
own, but this should handle the idle mac80211 conf calls as well.

The way idle configuration detection was implemented as
busted due to the fact that it assumed the ath9k virtual wiphy,
the aphy, would be marked as inactive if it was not used but
it turns out an aphy is always active if its the only wiphy
present. We need to distinguish between aphy activity and
idleness so we now add an idle bool for the aphy and mark
it as such based on the passed IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE
from mac80211.
Previous to all_wiphys_idle would never be true when using
only one device so we never really were using
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE -- we never turned the radio
off or on upon IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE changes as radio
changes depended on all_wiphys_idle being true either to
turn the radio on or off. Since it was always false for
one device this code was doing nothing.
