i'll send a new version.

what is the difference between the normal and underscore version?
atomicity? (i didn't find a documentation about it)

Generally underscore versions are more "internal" APIs. In this case, I
believe the underscore version is usable in places where the compiler
needs a constant as the output, I'm not quite sure though.

I think that explanation should be clearer and say that you must call
this only when the flag is set and vice versa. Also, there should be a 

WARN_ON(hw->flags & HW_AP_LINK_PS)

in the functions.

Also, maybe just a single function with a bool argument would be more
appropriate? Call it "ieee80211_sta_ps_transition()" or something like
that. You should also remove the text about calling the internal
equivalent -- the internal details might change at any time but the API
should be documented in a way that makes sense without the internal
details for the benefit of both sides -- people implementing a driver
don't need to know about the internal details, and people changing the
internal details know what semantics to keep.

> + * This function may not be called in IRQ context or process context.

This can't be true -- the latter part you must mean "or with softirqs
enabled".


Also, I'm worried about races between this and RX. All of the RX path
assumes that it is running at the same time. The ap_sta_ps_{start,end}
functions won't be called from the RX path when the flag is set, and
this is dependent on setting the flag, but is there really nothing in
them that could race?

Finally, I'm worried about this calling back into the driver's
sta_notify callback. If that is to remain that way, it needs to be
*very* clearly documented, I'd *much* prefer it not doing that but
handing off to a work struct or so internally.

The underscore version doesn't look appropriate at this point or in fact
anywhere in this patch.

Also, your patch subject and commit log is wrong -- this doesn't just
fix sparse warnings, it fixes actual bugs pointed out by sparse, so
commit log should reflect that.

Abort Tx/Rx on fast channel change before hw reset.
This helps to avoid timeout on loading noise floor
values after channel change.

* [PATCH 10/10] wl12xx: AP-mode - management of links in PS-mode
From: Arik Nemtsov @ 2011-01-16  5:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless; +Cc: Luciano Coelho, Johannes Berg, Arik Nemtsov
In-Reply-To: <1295156534-4178-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>

Update the PS mode of each link according to a bitmap polled from
fw_status. Manually notify mac80211 about PS mode changes in connected
stations.

mac80211 will only be notified about PS start when the station is in PS
and there is a small number of TX blocks from this link ready in HW.
This is required for waking up the remote station since the TIM is
updated entirely by FW.

When a station enters mac80211-PS-mode, we drop all the skbs in the
low-level TX queues belonging to this sta with STAT_TX_FILTERED
to keep our queues clean.

* [PATCH 09/10] wl12xx: AP-mode - count free FW TX blocks per link
From: Arik Nemtsov @ 2011-01-16  5:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless; +Cc: Luciano Coelho, Johannes Berg, Arik Nemtsov
In-Reply-To: <1295156534-4178-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>

Count the number of FW TX blocks allocated per link. We add blocks to a
link counter when allocated for a TX descriptor. We remove blocks
according to counters in fw_status indicating the number of freed blocks
in FW. These counters are polled after each IRQ.

When operating in AP mode the wl1271 hardware filters our null-data
packets as well as management packets. This makes it impossible for
mac80211 to monitor the PS mode by using the PM bit of incoming frames.

Disable mac80211 automatic link PS-mode handling by supporting
IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS in HW flags.

* [PATCH 06/10] mac80211: add HW flag for disabling auto link-PS in AP mode
From: Arik Nemtsov @ 2011-01-16  5:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless; +Cc: Luciano Coelho, Johannes Berg, Arik Nemtsov

When operating in AP mode the wl1271 hardware filters our null-data
packets as well as management packets. This makes it impossible for
mac80211 to monitor the PS mode by using the PM bit of incoming frames.

Implement a HW flag to indicate that mac80211 should ignore the PM bit.
In addition, expose ieee80211_start_ps()/ieee80211_end_ps() to make
low-level drivers capable of controlling PS-mode.

using ieee80211_tx_status(). Otherwise mac80211 tries to use the

* [PATCH 04/10] mac80211: do not calc frame duration when using HW rate-control
From: Arik Nemtsov @ 2011-01-16  5:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless; +Cc: Luciano Coelho, Johannes Berg, Arik Nemtsov
In-Reply-To: <1295156534-4178-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>

When rate-control is performed in HW, we cannot calculate frame
duration as we do not have the skb transmission rate in SW.

ieee80211_tx_h_calculate_duration() should only be called when
ieee80211_tx_h_rate_ctrl() has been called before to initialize data
in skb->cb. This doesn't happen for drivers with HW rate-control.

Fixes the following warning when operating in AP-mode
in a driver with HW rate-control.

* [PATCH 03/10] wl12xx: AP-mode - TX queue per link in AC
From: Arik Nemtsov @ 2011-01-16  5:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless; +Cc: Luciano Coelho, Johannes Berg, Arik Nemtsov
In-Reply-To: <1295156534-4178-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>

When operating in AP-mode we require a per link tx-queue.
This allows us to implement HW assisted PS mode for links,
as well as regulate per-link FW TX blocks consumption.
Split each link into ACs to support future QoS for AP-mode.

AC queues are emptied in priority and per-link queues are
scheduled in a simple round-robin fashion.

* [PATCH 02/10] wl12xx: AP-mode - fix race condition on sta connection
From: Arik Nemtsov @ 2011-01-16  5:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless; +Cc: Luciano Coelho, Johannes Berg, Arik Nemtsov
In-Reply-To: <1295156534-4178-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>

If a sta starts transmitting immediately after authentication, sometimes
the FW deauthenticates it. Fix this by marking the sta "in-connection"
in FW before sending the autentication response.

* [PATCH 01/10] wl12xx: fix potential race condition with TX queue watermark
From: Arik Nemtsov @ 2011-01-16  5:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless; +Cc: Luciano Coelho, Johannes Berg, Arik Nemtsov
In-Reply-To: <1295156534-4178-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>

Check the conditions for the high/low TX queue watermarks when the
spin-lock is taken. This prevents race conditions as tx_queue_count and
the flag checked are only modified when the spin-lock is taken.

The following race was in mind:
- Queues are almost full and wl1271_op_tx() will stop the queues, but it
  doesn't get the spin-lock yet.
- (on another CPU) tx_work_locked() dequeues 15 skbs from this queue and
  tx_queue_count is updated to reflect this
- wl1271_op_tx() does not check tx_queue_count after taking the
  spin-lock and incorrectly stops the queue.

* [PATCH 00/10] wl12xx: AP-mode per link PSM
From: Arik Nemtsov @ 2011-01-16  5:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless; +Cc: Luciano Coelho, Johannes Berg, Arik Nemtsov

This patchset introduces per-link PSM for AP-mode. The PS status of each
link is updated from FW.
The wl12xx concept of PSM is different from the mac80211 one - some data
must remain in FW for a link in PSM since the TIM is updated automatically
by FW.
Exported functions to manually toggle PSM in mac80211 are added
to bridge this gap.

We set up a skb-queue per link which allows for a cleaner link
disconnection and prepares the code for regulating each link separately.

A few other AP-mode related small bug fixes and enchancements are included.

Arik Nemtsov (10):
  wl12xx: fix potential race condition with TX queue watermark
  wl12xx: AP-mode - fix race condition on sta connection
  wl12xx: AP-mode - TX queue per link in AC
  mac80211: do not calc frame duration when using HW rate-control
  wl12xx: report invalid TX rate when returning non-TX-ed skbs
  mac80211: add HW flag for disabling auto link-PS in AP mode
  wl12xx: AP-mode - support HW based link PS monitoring
  wl12xx: AP mode - fix bug in cleanup of wl1271_op_sta_add()
  wl12xx: AP-mode - count free FW TX blocks per link
  wl12xx: AP-mode - management of links in PS-mode

I really would like to give it a try, but compat-wireless-2011-01-15
crashes right on module loading. Is there a version known to work?

I also guess that this issue would be fixed in compat-wireless due to the queue
refactoring. But I guess that is way too big for a stable kernel :(

No thanks!! I'm almost a stable(not experimental) user..
It's not a "try" but a "big challenge"! And I have a physical LAN cable

Give 2.6.37 kernel from Debian/experimental a try?

Gertjan,

Yes, distribution Debian I use is sometimes old...

I will wait for the 2.6.34~ appears in dist because of maintain-ability.
Thanks for your helpful reply.
