2015-12-08ath9k: MCC, add NOA also in case of an APJanusz Dziedzic1-1/+2
In case of MCC and AP interface, add also NOA attr that will inform stations about absence of an AP. There is a chance that some stations will handle this NOA attr correctly and will know exactly when AP is present/absent.

2015-03-16ath9k: fix tracking of enabled AP beaconsFelix Fietkau1-8/+12
sc->nbcnvifs tracks assigned beacon slots, not enabled beacons. Therefore, it cannot be used to decide if cur_conf->enable_beacon (bool) should be updated, or if beacons have been enabled already. With the current code (depending on the order of calls), beacons often do not get enabled in an AP+STA setup. To fix tracking of enabled beacons, convert cur_conf->enable_beacon to a bitmask of enabled beacon slots.

2014-10-08ath9k: Fix sequence number assignmentSujith Manoharan1-10/+2
Currently, ath9k uses a global counter for all frames that need to be assigned a sequence number. QoS-data frames are handled properly since they have a per-tid counter. But, beacons and other management frames use the same counter even if multiple interfaces or contexts are present. Fix this issue by making the counter per-interface and using it when mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2014-09-09ath9k: Fix interface accountingSujith Manoharan1-1/+1
Currently, the interface count is maintained globally, but this causes problems in RX filter calculation. Make the interface count a per-channel-context variable to fix this. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2014-09-09ath9k: Fix beacon configuration for channel contextsSujith Manoharan1-0/+12
In channel context mode, when a new context is added, mac80211 issues a bss_info_changed() notfication when preparing the connection for the new interface/context. But, this is done prior to the mgd_prepare_tx() call which is where we switch to the new context. Since the current context will be different when the earlier bss_info_changed() is handled, the beacon information for the VIF is not updated, but discarded since the rules for the current context disallows it. In the subsequent association process for the new context/vif, this becomes a problem because the beacon parameters are invalid. This causes problems with the TSF timer, causing large jumps. To fix this, check if the beacon info is being updated for a different context and if so, allow it without any checks since we limit the max. interfaces to two anyway.

2013-12-19ath9k: properly preserve TSF across resetFelix Fietkau1-45/+43
The beacon code previously reset TSF on every configuration call, as some of the code was not prepared to properly calculate nexttbtt based on current TSF. This patch adds a common function for calculating nexttbtt and moves the TSF reset to driver start.

2013-06-12ath9k: limit multicast buffer hardware queue depthFelix Fietkau1-21/+2
The CAB (Content after Beacon) queue is used for beacon-triggered transmission of buffered multicast frames. If lots of multicast frames were buffered and this queue fills up, it drowns out all regular traffic. To limit the damage that buffered traffic can do, try to limit the queued data to becaon_interval / 8. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2013-02-12ath9k: Fix IBSS joiner modeSujith Manoharan1-26/+87
On joining an existing IBSS network, beaconing has to start only after a TSF sync has happened by receiving a beacon from the BSS. In creator mode, beaconing can start immediately after a HW reset has been done. Now that mac80211 notifies the driver of the mode type (creator/joiner) via ieee80211_bss_conf->ibss_creator, make use of it to properly setup the HW beacon timers.

Dropping packets from aggregation sessions is usually not a good idea, as it might upset the synchronization of the BlockAck receive window of the remote node.
