2011-05-02wl12xx: avoid redundant join on interface reconfigurationEliad Peller
ieee80211_reconfig() sets most of the "changed" flags regardless of the actual change (e.g. BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC will be set even if the interface is still not associated). in this case the driver will issue some unneeded commands. Since the driver relies solely on the BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC flag, without checking if there was an actual change, it will end up issuing unjoin() and dummy_join() commands, although it was never associated and should just remain idle. Avoid it by checking the actual state change, in addition to the "changed" flag. (there seem to be more redundant configuration commands being issued, but they shouldn't harm) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com>

2011-05-02wl12xx: Handle platforms without level trigger interruptsIdo Yariv
Some platforms are incapable of triggering on level interrupts. Add a platform quirks member in the platform data structure, as well as an edge interrupt quirk which can be set on such platforms. When the interrupt is requested with IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING, IRQF_ONESHOT cannot be used, as we might miss interrupts that occur after the FW status is cleared and before the threaded interrupt handler exits. Moreover, when IRQF_ONESHOT is not set, iterating more than once in the threaded interrupt handler introduces a few race conditions between this handler and the hardirq handler. Currently this is worked around by limiting the loop to one iteration only. This workaround has an impact on performance. To remove to this restriction, the race conditions will need to be addressed.

2011-05-02wl12xx: Simplify TX blocks accountingIdo Yariv
The total number of TX memory blocks may change when the dynamic memory option is enabled. The current implementation only tracks the available memory blocks, which over-complicates TX blocks accounting. By tracking the number of allocated blocks, calculation of the number of available blocks becomes simpler and cleaner. It simply equals the total number of TX memory blocks minus the allocated ones. Also, remove some unnecessary castings and use union member accesses instead.

2011-05-02wl12xx: Clean up the dummy packet mechanismIdo Yariv
The current implementation allocates a skb each time one is requested by the firmware. Since dummy packets are handled differently than regular packets, the skb needs to be marked. Currently, this is done by setting the pkt_type member to 5. This might not be safe, as we cannot be sure that there won't be any other packets with this pkt_type value. Since the packet does not change from one request to another, we can simply allocate a dummy packet template and always send it. All changes to the skb done during packet preparation must be reverted, so the same skb can be reused. The dummy packets are not transmitted, therefore there's no need to set the BSSID or our own MAC address. In addition, the header portion of the packet was zeroed by mistake, so fix that as well.

2011-05-02wl12xx: fix "JOIN while associated" commentaryOhad Ben-Cohen
Issuing multiple JOIN commands to the wl12xx's firmware, while we're associated, might have undesired implications, so the driver prints a message when that happens, and warn developers who check out the source. Update the commentary in order to consider the one valid scenario where this can happen: roaming. Cautiously keep the message for now, until we either gain confidence there are no unintentional JOIN-while-associated events, or until we move to the new multi-role fw who solves this multiple-join issue for good.

2011-05-02wl12xx: fix roamingOhad Ben-Cohen
The wl12xx device normally drops all frames coming from BSSID it is not joined with. This behavior is configured today by the wl12xx driver in response to a handful of ieee80211_bss_change and ieee80211_conf_changed notification flags, such as BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC, BSS_CHANGED_BSSID, IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE, etc.. This breaks when we roam to a new BSSID, where authentication frames are sent before any BSS_CHANGED/CONF_CHANGED flags are received. When this happens the hardware silently drops the authentication responses, and the roaming fails. Ideally this aggressive filtering behavior of the device should be disabled upon a notification from mac80211. Such notification will take place after multi-channel support will be added: mac80211 will likely send a remain-on-channel notification to drivers when entering sensitive states (like authentication), otherwise the firmware might jump to different channels (to serve a different role). Until those notifications materialize, disable the hw BSSID filter when authentication requests are sent, so roaming would work.

2011-05-02wl12xx: rearrange some ELP wake_up/sleep callsEliad Peller
ELP (Extremely/Enhanced Low Power, or something like that ;)) refers to the powerstate of the 12xx chip, in which very low power is consumed, and no commands (from the host) can be issued until the chip is woken up. Wakeup/sleep commands must be protected by a wl->mutex, so it's generally a good idea to call wakeup/sleep along with the mutex lock/unlock (where needed). However, in some places the wl12xx driver calls wakeup/sleep in some "inner" functions. This result in some "nested" wakeup/sleep calls which might end up letting the chip go to sleep prematurely (e.g. during event handling). Fix it by rearranging the elp calls to come along with mutex_lock/unlock.

2011-05-02wl12xx: Clamp byte mode transfers for 128x chipsArik Nemtsov
On wl128x based devices, when TX packets are aggregated, each packet size must be aligned to the SDIO block size, and sent using block mode transfers. The block size is set to 256 bytes, which is less than the maximum possible byte transfer. Thus, if two small packets (< 256 bytes) are aggregated, the aggregation buffer size would be 512, and will be sent using byte mode transfers. This can have undesired side effects. Fix this by setting the MMC_QUIRK_BLKSZ_FOR_BYTE_MODE mmc card quirk. For 127x chips this has no effect, as the block size is set to 512 bytes.

2011-05-02wl12xx: Switch to level trigger interruptsIdo Yariv
The interrupt of the wl12xx is a level interrupt in nature, since the interrupt line is not auto-reset. However, since resetting the interrupt requires bus transactions, this cannot be done from an interrupt context. Thus, requesting a level interrupt would require to disable the irq and re-enable it after the HW is acknowledged. Since we now request a threaded irq, this can also be done by specifying the IRQF_ONESHOT flag. Triggering on an edge can be problematic in some platforms, if the sampling frequency is not sufficient for detecting very frequent interrupts. In case an interrupt is missed, the driver will hang as the interrupt line will stay high until it is acknowledged by the driver, which will never happen. Fix this by requesting a level triggered interrupt, with the IRQF_ONESHOT flag.

2011-05-02wl12xx: Switch to a threaded interrupt handlerIdo Yariv
To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler. This handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as SDIO/SPI transactions. Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs (ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance. The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was changed. For simplicity, always query the FW for more pending interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables registering the IRQ handler with the ONESHOT option.
