828cf2222f mwifiex: change transmit buffer size for 8897
Currently default Tx buffer size configured to firmware is 2K
for all chipsets. This patch changes it to 4K for SD/PCIe/USB
8897 chipsets as per firmware requirements.

56bd24a18e mwifiex: provision for holding and restoring packets during TDLS setup
While TDLS link is being setup, few packets from this station to
peer station may be buffered at AP. It may happen that once TDLS
link is setup, packets sent from station to peer on direct link
get delivered before traffic from AP arrives at peer station.
This results into packet reordering issue at peer station.

To avoid this, we hold data packets destined to TDLS peer during
TDLS setup. These packets are moved to temperory TDLS TX queue.
Upon successful TDLS setup, they are moved to RA list created for
this peer. Upon failure, packets are moved back to AP's RA list
for that particular TID.

21f58d2003 mwifiex: implement extended scan feature
In extended scan, host gets scan results through one or
multiple events instead of scan command response. Host will
send next scan command when all the events are received.

Legacy scan sometimes truncates scan results in a noisy

d00062e318 mwifiex: reduce firmware poll retries
After downloading the firmware, firmware status is checked by
reading a register. Polling interval is 100 msecs. Therefore 100
retries means the status is checked for 10 secs which is more than
sufficient for firmware to get ready.

This patch removes 1000 retries macro usage, because 100secs
time is not practical.

232fde062e mwifiex: fix IRQ enable/disable
During tear down (e.g. mwifiex_sdio_remove during system suspend),
mwifiex left IRQs enabled for a significant period of time when it was
unable to handle them correctly. This caused interrupt storms and
interfered with the bluetooth interface on the same SDIO card.

Solve this by disabling interrupts at the point when they can no longer
be handled correctly, which is at the start of mwifiex_remove_card().

For cleanliness, we now enable interrupts in the mwifiex_add_card() path,
to be symmetrical with the disabling of interrupts. We also couple the
registration of the sdio IRQ handler with the actual enable/disable of
interrupts at the hardware level.

I also removed a write to this register in mwifiex_init_sdio which seemed
pointless and won't cause any ill effects now that we only register
the SDIO IRQ handler when we are ready to accept interrupts.

Includes some corrections from Amitkumar Karwar.

df8100836e mwifiex: fix regression issue for usb interface
PATCH "mwifiex: scan delay timer cleanup in unload path" adds code
to cancel scan delay timer in unload path. It causes a regression
for USB interface.

USB8797 card gets enumerated twice. First enumeration is for

It was observed that we are trying del_timer_sync() without setting
up the timer when remove handler is called after first enumeration.

This patch moves setup_timer() call to appropriate place so that
timer is setup for both the enumerations.

We see this WARN_ON during PCIe unload:
WARNING: at kernel/smp.c:382 smp_call_function_many+0x66/0x1e1()

This happens because we are doing PCI iounmap operations while
holding spinlock via spin_lock_irqsave(). Holding spinlock this
way causes disabling IRQs and hence PCI iounmap shows warning on
irqs_disabled() check.

Use non-irq variant of spin_lock i.e. spin_lock() instead.

9908b07465 mwifiex: fix negative cmd_pending count
cmd_pending is increased in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() and
decreased in mwifiex_complete_cmd() currently.
If there are two or more commands in the cmd_pending_q the main
worker thread will pick up next command from cmd_pending_q
automatically after finishing current command. As a result
mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() will not be called because
the command is alreay completed. This leads to a negative
number in cmd_pending count.

Fix it by increasing cmd_pending when a cmd is queued into
cmd_pending_q and decreasing when that cmd is recycled. For scan
commands we don't perform inc/dec operations until it's moved
from scan_pending_q to cmd_pending_q. This covers both
synchronous and asynchronous commands.

47411a06c0 mwifiex: add multi-queue support
This patch adds support for multiple TX queues inside mwifiex
driver. Four different queues according to WMM access categories
are defined for each virtual interface. When a packet is
received from netdev for transmission, tx pending count for
particular queue is incremented and if tx pending count has
reached upper water-mark, this queue is stopped instead of
stopping all queues. Similarly when a packet is successfully
transmitted from device, tx pending count is decremented per
queue and if pending count falls below lower water-mark, queue
operations are again resumed. This ensures that not all
tranmission is blocked if traffic with particular TOS value
suddenly increases.

Also wake all queues after association/IBSS_join/uAP_BSS_start
to enable traffic on all queues.

bdd37bed61 mwifiex: improve scan delay logic during Tx traffic
Earlier scan command was postponed by 20msec multiple times to give
preference to Tx traffic until we find empty wmm queue.

There is a corner case in which wmm queue becomes empty immediately
after processing the packet(before 20msec) and there may be next
packet coming after some time. In this case we should not resume scan
operation.

We will use new flag to check Tx traffic and resume scan operation
only if there is no traffic for 200msec.

05910f4a22 mwifiex: add support to use basic rates in ibss join request
In mwifiex_set_rf_channel() ibss specific flags were unnecessarily
getting modified for infra and AP mode. This patch removes
mwifiex_set_rf_channel() function and adds equivalant code in infra,
ibss and AP path.

For ibss, now we are chosing band based on channel type and basic
rates provided in ibss join request. We can start ibss network in
A only, B only, G only, BG, BGN, AN mode.

f931c7705b mwifiex: wake up main thread to handle Tx traffic if scan is delayed/aborted
This is a flaw in recently implemented logic to handle Tx traffic
and scan operation simultaneously. We missed to wakeup main thread
to handle Tx traffic if scan is delayed/aborted.

For some cards (SD8797, for example), firmware will send SLEEP event
if there is no activity for 50msec. While handling the SLEEP event,
main thread will be woken up and Tx packet gets sent hence. In worst
case Tx traffic will be delayed for 50msec.

For other cards, such as USB8797, firmware won't send SLEEP event.
So, Tx traffic gets stuck if no other event triggers the wakeup of
main thread.

This patch fixes above issues.

3249ba7376 mwifiex: fix simultaneous scan and Tx traffic problem
If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running,
driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic
there is a delay for Tx packets.

This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority
in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan
commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will
make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan
command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by
20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or
timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will
be aborted.
