iwl4965: disable 8K A-MSDU by default

commit

Author: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
Date: Wed Feb 20 11:33:00 2013 +0200
iwlwifi: disable 8K A-MSDU by default
Supporting 8K A-MSDU means that we need to allocate order 1
pages for every Rx packet. Even when there is no traffic.
This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of
compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager
and not using them will make the allocation code run faster
although I didn't really measure.
Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little
data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since
the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP
to have a big Rx window.
See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details.
Note that very few vendors will actually send A-MSDU.
Disable this feature by default.

The TX descriptors are consumed by the HW using DMA.
Even if in the driver code the memory write that sets the "valid"

causing the HW to consider as valid a not-fully-written yet
descriptor.
This may cause HW incorrect behaviour.
This can happen because (AFAIK) the HW may attempt DMA
asynchronously without waiting to be kicked by the following
register write.

ath9k_hw: toggle weak signal detection in AP mode on older chipsets
The commit
80b4205b "ath9k: Fix OFDM weak signal detection for AP mode"
prevented weak signal detection changes from taking effect in AP mode on
all chipsets, claiming it is "not allowed".
The main reason for not disabling weak signal detection in AP mode is
that typically beacon RSSI is used to track whether it is needed to
boost range, and this is unavailable in AP mode for obvious reasons.
The problem with not disabling weak signal detection is that older
chipsets are very sensitive to high PHY error counts. When faced with
heavy noise, this can lead to an excessive amount of "Failed to stop
TX DMA" errors in the field.

mwifiex: Track BA sequence number reset
Some stations reset the sequence number for traffic-ids (TIDs)
as they initiate a block-ACK session. In order to detect such
behavior, mwifiex must note the starting sequence number given
during the ADDBA request. If the first received sequence number
after the ADDBA falls outside the receive window for this TID but
after the the ADDBA starting sequence number, we can assume that
this AP has reset its sequence number during the ADDBA. In this
case we must adjust the input window backward to incorporate this
received sequence number instead of ignoring it. Otherwise, we
could fail to successfully retrieve an arbitrarily large number
of downstream frames at the beginning of the block-ACK session.

rtl818x: make dev_alloc_skb() null pointer check to really work
During driver initialization, some skbs are preallocated for RX.
Currenly if the allocation fails, the driver's allocation routine
exits immediatly but it will return zero (success) anyway.
In this way the driver will continue initialization with buggy
pointers around.
This patch makes the driver's allocation routine to return
an error value and to print a complaint message when skb allocation
fails.
In this way its caller will not go further, avoinding the driver to
successfully load, and preventing dereferencing buggy pointers.
An hint is thus printed about why the driver failed.

rtl818x: check for pci_map_single() success when initializing RX ring
During initialization a number of RX skbs are allocated and mapped
for DMA.
Currently if pci_map_single() fails, it will result in passing to the
HW a wrong DMA address (to write to!).
This patch adds check for this condition and eventually causes the
driver not to initialize, avoiding at least dangerous DMAs.

rtl818x: pci_iomap() should pair with pci_iounmap()
Currently the driver uses pci_iomap() but iounmap() is called in
the error path
Change to use pci_iounmap() instead.

rtl818x: Explicitly enable contetion window
Currently the contention window enable/disable HW flag is not
touched by the driver.
This patch explicitly set it to the correct value to make sure
contention window is enabled (AFAIK contention window must be
enabled in most (if not all) cases.

mwifiex: do not advertise usb autosuspend support
As many Surface Pro I & II users have found out, the mwifiex_usb
doesn't support usb autosuspend, and it has caused some system
stability issues.
Bug 69661 - mwifiex_usb on MS Surface Pro 1 is unstable
Bug 60815 - Interface hangs in mwifiex_usb
Bug 64111 - mwifiex_usb USB8797 crash failed to get signal
information
USB autosuspend get triggered when Surface Pro's AC power is
removed or powertop enables power saving on USB8797 device.
Driver's suspend handler is called here, but resume handler
won't be called until the AC power is put back on or powertop
disables power saving for USB8797.
We need to refactor the suspend/resume handlers to support
usb autosuspend properly. For now let's just remove it.
