2012-04-11rtlwifi: Preallocate USB read buffers and eliminate kalloc in read routineLarry Finger2-19/+21
The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When _usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775. The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync() by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.

2012-04-10mac80211: remove channel type argument from rate_updateJohannes Berg1-2/+1
The channel type argument to the rate_update() callback isn't really the correct way to give the rate control algorithm about the desired RX bandwidth of the peer. Remove this argument, and instead update the STA capabilities with 20/40 appropriately. The SMPS update done by this callback works in the same way, so this makes the callback cleaner.

In https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42976, a system with driver rtl8192se used as an AP suffers from "Out of SW-IOMMU space" errors. These are caused by the DMA buffers used for beacons never being unmapped.

2012-03-26rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: rtl8192cu: rtl8192de: Fix low-gain setting when scanningLarry Finger2-2/+2
In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207, slowdowns of driver rtl8192ce are reported. One fix (commit a9b89e2) has already been applied, and it helped, but the maximum RX speed would still drop to 1 Mbps. As in the previous fix, the initial gain was determined to be the problem; however, the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started. Driver rtl8192de also has the same code structure - this one is fixed as well.

2012-03-06rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix loss of receive performanceJingjun Wu1-0/+4
Driver rtl8192ce when used with the RTL8188CE device would start at about 20 Mbps on a 54 Mbps connection, but quickly drop to 1 Mbps. One of the symptoms is that the AP would need to retransmit each packet 4 of 5 times before the driver would acknowledge it. Recovery is possible only by unloading and reloading the driver. This problem was reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207. The problem is due to a missing update of the gain setting.

2012-03-05rtlwifi: rtl8192c: Prevent sleeping from invalid context in rtl8192cuLarry Finger1-3/+8
When driver rtl8192cu is used with the debug level set to 3 or greater, the result is "sleeping function called from invalid context" due to an rcu_read_lock() call in the DM refresh routine in driver rtl8192c. This lock is not necessary as the USB driver does not use the struct being protected, thus the lock is set only when a PCI interface is active.

2012-03-05rtlwifi: Remove extraneous value returnLarry Finger1-3/+2

Define RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE which represents the maximimum possible firmware file size. Use it in the definition of the buffer which receives the firmware file data. Set RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE closer to the actual size of the firmware file, e.g., 90000 (down from hard coded 164000). The current size of rtlwifi/rtl8192sefw.bin is 88856. Set max_fw_size to RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE for the size limit check. Fix the error case where max_fw_size is not cleared if the size limit check fails.

2012-01-30rtlwifi: Convert to asynchronous firmware loadLarry Finger20-164/+194
This patch addresses a kernel bugzilla report and two recent mail threads. The kernel bugzilla report is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42632, which reports a udev timeout on boot. The first mail thread, which was on LKML (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/ linux/kernel/1112.3/00965.html) was for a WARNING that occurs after a suspend/resume cycle for rtl8192cu. The scond mail thread (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=132655490826766&w=2) concerned changes in udev that break drivers that delay while firmware is loaded on modprobe. This patch converts all rtlwifi-based drivers to use the asynchronous firmware loading mechanism. Drivers rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu and rtl8192de share a common callback routine. Driver rtl8192se needs different handling of the firmware, thus it has its own code. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <[email protected]> Cc: Stable <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: John W.
