97923b14a5 ath9k: fix queue stopping threshold
ath9k tries to prevent WMM queue tx buffer starvation caused by
traffic on different queues by limiting the number of pending frames
in a tx queue (tracked in the ath_buf structure). This had a leak
issue, because the a skb can be reassigned to a different ath_buf
in the tx path, causing the pending frame counter to become inaccurate.

To fix this, track the number of frames in an array in the softc,
using the mac80211 queue mapping as index.

a6d2055b02 ath9k: fix extending the rx timestamp with the hardware TSF
AR5416 and all newer chipsets use a 32 bit rx timestamp, so there
is no need to keep the 15 bit timestamp extending logic around.

This patch removes ath9k_hw_extend_tsf (replaced by a call to
ath9k_hw_gettsf64), and reduces the frequency of TSF reads, which
can improve performance in some cases.

This change also has the side effect of making rx timestamps
more accurate.

e36b27aff1 ath9k: add new ANI implementation for AR9003
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)

6e97f0fb4d ath9k_hw: clear MIB interrupt causes when skipping ANI adjustments
We get an MIB interrupt when we hit certain PHY error counter
thresholds. If ANI is disabled but the MIB interrupt is enabled
we'll keep around the old MIB interrupt causes.

Since ath9k disables the MIB interrupt when ANI is disabled
this is not a fix, but more of a sanity fix in case we ever
need the MIB interrupt enabled but disabling ANI.

4efc76bdbf mac80211: bracket driver tracing
Currently, driver tracing is sometimes invoked
after and sometimes before the actual driver
callback. This is fine as long as the driver
has no tracing itself, but as soon as it does
it gets confusing.

To make traces containing such information
easier to read, introduce a return tracer in
mac80211 that essentially brackets any driver
tracing, and invoke the real trace before the
driver's callback, only showing the return
value, if any, afterwards.

Since tracing records the process, there's no
problem with overlapping calls if that should
happen.

already uses. The spinlock is still necessary
around some code to avoid races with TX, but
now we can also synchronize_net() to avoid
getting an inconsistent sequence number.

83a5cbf73a mac80211: defer TX agg session teardown to work
Since we want the code to be able to sleep
in the future, it must not be called from
the timer directly. To achieve that, simply
call the function drivers would call, and
also use RCU in the timer to get the struct
so we don't need to rely on the spinlock in
the future.

a93e364430 mac80211: change RX aggregation locking
To prepare for allowing drivers to sleep in
ampdu_action, change the locking in the RX
aggregation code to use a mutex, so that it
would already allow drivers to sleep. But
explicitly disable BHs around the callback
for now since the TX part cannot yet sleep,
and drivers' locking might require it.

f955ebb447 mac80211: fix RX aggregation timer
I noticed that when there was _no_ traffic at
all on a given aggregation session, it would
never time out. This won't happen unless you
forced creating a session, but fix it anyway.

0ab337032a mac80211: make TX aggregation start/stop request async
When the driver or rate control requests starting
or stopping an aggregation session, that currently
causes a direct callback into the driver, which
could potentially cause locking problems. Also,
the functions need to be callable from contexts
that cannot sleep, and thus will interfere with
making the ampdu_action callback sleeping.

To address these issues, add a new work item for
each station that will process any start or stop
requests out of line.

a6a67db2bc mac80211: refcount aggregation queue stop
mac80211 currently maintains the ampdu_lock to
avoid starting a queue due to one aggregation
session while another aggregation session needs
the queue stopped.

We can do better, however, and instead refcount
the queue stops for this particular purpose,
thus removing the need for the lock. This will
help making ampdu_action able to sleep.

5d22c89b9b mac80211: remove non-irqsafe aggregation callbacks
The non-irqsafe aggregation start/stop done
callbacks are currently only used by ath9k_htc,
and can cause callbacks into the driver again.
This might lead to locking issues, which will
only get worse as we modify locking. To avoid
trouble, remove the non-irqsafe versions and
change ath9k_htc to use those instead.

a622ab72b4 mac80211: use RCU for TX aggregation
Currently we allocate some memory for each TX
aggregation session and additionally keep a
state bitmap indicating the state it is in.
By using RCU to protect the pointer, moving
the state into the structure and some locking
trickery we can avoid locking when the TX agg
session is fully operational.

a87f736d94 mac80211: use RCU for RX aggregation
Currently we allocate some memory for each RX
aggregation session and additionally keep a
flag indicating whether or not it is valid.
By using RCU to protect the pointer and making
sure that the memory is fully set up before it
becomes visible to the RX path, we can remove
the need for the bool that indicates validity,
as well as for locking on the RX path since it
is always synchronised against itself, and we
can guarantee that all other modifications are
done when the structure is not visible to the
RX path.

The net result is that since we remove locking
requirements from the RX path, we can in the
future use any kind of lock for the setup and
teardown code paths.

c1475ca99e mac80211: move aggregation callback processing
This moves the aggregation callback processing
to the per-sdata skb queue and a work function
rather than the tasklet.

Unfortunately, this means that it extends the
pkt_type hack to that skb queue. However, it
will enable making ampdu_action API changes
gradually, my current plan is to get rid of
this again by forcing drivers to only return
from ampdu_action() when everything is done,
thus removing the callbacks completely.
