mac80211 currently maintains the ampdu_lock to
avoid starting a queue due to one aggregation
session while another aggregation session needs
the queue stopped.
We can do better, however, and instead refcount
the queue stops for this particular purpose,
thus removing the need for the lock. This will
help making ampdu_action able to sleep.

This might lead to locking issues, which will

Currently we allocate some memory for each TX

By using RCU to protect the pointer, moving

Currently we allocate some memory for each RX
aggregation session and additionally keep a
flag indicating whether or not it is valid.
By using RCU to protect the pointer and making
sure that the memory is fully set up before it
becomes visible to the RX path, we can remove
the need for the bool that indicates validity,
as well as for locking on the RX path since it
is always synchronised against itself, and we
can guarantee that all other modifications are
done when the structure is not visible to the
RX path.
The net result is that since we remove locking
requirements from the RX path, we can in the
future use any kind of lock for the setup and
teardown code paths.

This moves the aggregation callback processing
to the per-sdata skb queue and a work function
rather than the tasklet.
Unfortunately, this means that it extends the

gradually, my current plan is to get rid of
this again by forcing drivers to only return
from ampdu_action() when everything is done,

There's a corner case where we receive a fragmented
frame during a blockack session, in which case we
will terminate that session. To simplify future work
in this area that will culminate in allowing the
driver callbacks for aggregation to sleep, move the
processing of this case out of the RX path into the
interface work.
This will simplify future work because the new place
for this code doesn't require that the function will
always be atomic, which the RX path needs.

A number of places use RCU locking for accessing
the station list, even though they do not need
to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the
locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is
also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the
same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that.
While doing so, combine places where we loop
over stations twice, and optimise away some of
the loops by checking if the hardware supports
aggregation at all first.
Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right
now we could resume, set up an aggregation session,
and right after tear it down again due to the code
that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here.
Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as
a workaround.
Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling
loop when an interface is stopped, directly after
that we remove all stations from it which will also
disable all aggregation sessions that may still be
active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the

Reading the ELP_CTRL register with sdio_readb causes problems because
hardware seems to be performing a write using stuff bits in the request
(those bits contain write data in write request). This indicates that it
actually expects RAW (read after write) type of request, so perform that
when reading ELP_CTRL instead. Also cache last written value so we know
what to write when doing RAW request.
Because of the above it was not possible to wake the chip from ELP power

Fairly complex code in iwlagn_tx_status_reply_tx handle the status reports for
aggregated packet batches sent by the NIC. This code aims to handle the case
where the NIC retransmits failed packets from a previous batch; the status
information for these packets can sometimes be inserted in the middle of a
batch and are actually not in order by sequence number! (I verified this can
happen with printk's in the function.)
The code in question adaptively identifies the "first" frame of the batch,
taking into account that it may not be the one corresponding to the first agg
status report, and also handles the case when the set of sent packets wraps the
256-character entry buffer. It generates the agg->bitmap field of sent packets
which is later compared to the BlockAck response from the receiver to see which
frames of those sent in this batch were ACKed. A small logic error (wrapping by
0xff==255 instead of 0x100==256) was causing the agg->bitmap to be set
incorrectly.
Fix this wrapping code, and add extensive comments to clarify what is going on.

Compressed BlockAck frames store the ACKs/NACKs in a 64-bit bitmap that starts
at the sequence number of the first frame sent in the aggregated batch. Note
that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission;
e.g., if frames 1,4-5 in a batch are ACKed then the next transmission will
include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed
BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the
semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame
is seq 2).
The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of
the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets,
maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the
bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This
flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly
underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as
well as driver and uCode.
Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through
all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed.
In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput
stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in
aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g.,

Currently, the driver allocates up to 19 skb pointers
for each TFD, of which we have 256 per queue. This
means that for each TX queue, we allocate 19k/38k
(an order 4 or 5 allocation on 32/64 bit respectively)
just for each queue's "txb" array, which contains only
the SKB pointers.
However, due to the way we use these pointers only the
first one can ever be assigned. When the driver was
initially written, the idea was that it could be
passed multiple SKBs for each TFD and attach all
those to implement gather DMA. However, due to
constraints in the userspace API and lack of TCP/IP
level checksumming in the device, this is in fact not
possible. And even if it were, the SKBs would be
chained, and we wouldn't need to keep pointers to
each anyway.
Change this to only keep track of one SKB per TFD,
and thereby reduce memory consumption to just one
pointer per TFD, which is an order 0 allocation per
transmit queue.
