[PATCH 1/4] ath9k: Fix channel context transition

[Sujith Manoharan]

From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>

In channel context mode, a nullfunc is sent with
the PM bit enabled when we switch to a new channel
context from the current one. But, when the scheduler
switches back to the old context, sending a nullfunc
with PM bit cleared has to be done only if there is
buffered traffic at the AP.

Currently, this is not done and a nullfunc is sent
for every transition. Fix this by parsing the TIM IE
for a received beacon and checking if there is buffered
traffic.

Since the beacon frame has to be parsed, move the location
of the ATH_CHANCTX_EVENT_BEACON_RECEIVED after the frame
has been processed - in ath_rx_tasklet().

That does not make much sense to me. Why would you not inform the AP and
instead let it start buffering until the next beacon period?

Is it correct to send a nullfunc to the AP with PM=0 when there is no
buffered traffic and the TIM doesn't indicate anything for the station's AID ?
This was the concern raised.

The mac80211 mlme does a similar thing too, in ieee80211_rx_mgmt_beacon().
A nullfunc with PM=0 is sent only when the aid is set in the TIM IE.

You can send as many nullfunc Data frames as you want and pretty much
whenever you want.. If the AP has information indicating that the STA is
in power save mode, this frame needs to be sent. If the AP doesn't have
such information or the STA does not know what the state is, this frame
can still be sent. I would skip this only if the STA is reasonably
certain the AP does not have it recorded to be in power save mode.

In addition to power save management, nullfunc frames can be used for
number of other purposes, e.g., to check that the association is valid
and to trigger operations (well, that is related to power save). In any
case, there are no rules (other than normal Data frame rules) that
somehow limit the STA from sending this frame.

Thanks for clarifying. This patch is unnecessary then.

Constant switching of HW channels (and bgscan) appear to make things
go deaf after some time. We have never really tested fastcc and as
a preemptive measure, it can be disabled for MCC.

[PATCH 4/4] ath9k: Fix channel context timer

[Sujith Manoharan]

From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>

Setup the channel context correctly. Not doing this was
causing beacon loss in a P2P-GO/STA concurrent setup.

[PATCH 0/4] ath9k patches

[Sujith Manoharan]

From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>

Third series cleaning up the channel context code. Most of the code
has been moved inside CONFIG_ATH9K_CHANNEL_CONTEXT. Since the normal
path also makes use of certain channel context specific variables,
they have been left unmodified - like 'cur_chan', 'cur_chandef' etc.

After this series, just 3 functions in channel.c are outside
CONFIG_ATH9K_CHANNEL_CONTEXT.

All the pending patches are in:

[PATCH 0/4] ath9k patches

[Sujith Manoharan]

From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>

With the introduction of channel context support, ath9k now supports
two types of operation, with separate paths for HW scan and SW scan.
The paths interleave in many places with code overlap and this makes the code
a bit hard to follow. This series begins to separate the two modes by making
the channel context code more self-contained. There is still lots to
be done, though.

Sujith Manoharan (4):
  ath9k: Add a config option for channel context
  ath9k: Move P2P functions to channel.c
  ath9k: Isolate P2P powersave routines
  ath9k: Isolate ath9k_use_chanctx module parameter

[PATCH 0/4] ath9k patches

[Sujith Manoharan]

From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>

This series has a few RTC fixes. There are still two missing pieces:

* When a cold reset is performed, AR9100 requires the AHB/WMAC interface
  to be reset.
* AR955x requires an SoC RTC reset.

Both have to be done via the external_reset() platform interface.

Sujith Manoharan (4):
  ath9k: Remove ath9k_hw_gettsf32()
  ath9k: Add a delay between RTC reset/clear for AR9003
  ath9k: Fix RTC reset delay
