debugfs ath9k/phy#/wiphy can be used to show the current list of virtual wiphys and to add/remove virtual wiphys. Eventually, this interface could be replaced with a cfg80211/nl80211 command that is passed through mac80211. For example: # cat /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy primary: phy0 # echo add > /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy # cat /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy primary: phy0 secondary: phy1 # echo del=phy1 > /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy # cat /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy primary: phy0 In addition, following commands can be used to test pausing and unpausing of the virtual wiphys: pause=phy1 unpause=phy1 select=phy1 (select pauses and unpauses wiphys automatically based on channel) schedule=500 (set wiphy scheduling interval in msec; 0 = disable; default value: 500) Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This is a very simple scheduler that goes through the wiphys and schedules one at a time every N milliseconds (current default value: 500 ms). This is enough for initial testing, but there are number of areas where a more complex scheduler can improve operations greatly.

Allow mac80211-controlled channel changes on an active wiphy and especially during a scan. We need this as long as the scan is controlled by mac80211. Moving this control into the driver could allow some optimizations on scanning while using multiple virtual interfaces, but for now, try to work as well as possible with the current scan mechanism.

It looks like channel change may fail in some cases and end up leaving the hardware in state where it cannot transmit any frames. Add a workaround to recover from this state if we detect that wiphy selection is failing due to wiphys not leaving PAUSING state.

mac80211 should not be requesting us to transmit frames on paused wiphys since we stop the TX queues. Just in case, add debug code to make sure we catch if this were to happen. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

For now, allow channel changes immediately and just force the other virtual wiphys to paused state. This is needed to allow mac80211-controlled scan to control channel changes. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

ath9k_wiphy_select() can be used to select a virtual wiphy to be activated. Other virtual wiphys will be paused and once that is done, the operational channel is changed and the wiphys that are on the selected channel will be unpaused.

Allow virtual wiphys to be paused/unpaused to allow off-channel operations. Pause will stop all TX queues for the wiphy and move the STA into power save mode if in managed mode. Unpause wakes up the TX queues and notifies the AP that the STA woke up if in managed mode. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Allow RX filter to pass through all broadcast/multicast frames (i.e., no BSSID filtering) if virtual interfaces are used.

The new struct ath_softc::sec_wiphy array is used to store information about virtual wiphys and select which wiphy is used in calls to mac80211.

This is the initial step in allowing ath9k to register multiple virtual radios (wiphys). The goal of virtual radios is to allow the same radio to be shared for multiple virtual interfaces that may operate on different channels. The mac80211 virtual interface support is designed only for single channel operation and as such, it is not suitable for this type of use. Anyway, it can be used on top of the virtual radio concept, if desired (e.g., use two virtual radios to handle two channels and then add multiple mac80211 virtual interfaces on top of each virtual radio). The new struct ath_wiphy is now registered as the driver data structure for wiphy. This structure has a pointer to the shared (among virtual wiphys of the same physical radio) struct ath_softc data. The primary wiphy maintains the allocated memory for ath_softc. Secondary (virtual) wiphys will only allocate the new ath_wiphy structure. Registration of secondary wiphys is added in a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Replace the internal sc_vaps array and index values by using vif pointer from mac80211. Allow multiple VIPs to be registered. Though, number of beaconing VIFs is still limited by ATH_BCBUF (currently 1). Multiple virtual STAs support is not yet complete, but at least the data structures should now be able to handle this.

By exporting the register base, and word size to userspace through debugfs it will be easier to create scripts which parse the register information. This makes debugging and register dumps information easier. This will break my previous scripts which dumped and parsed all information, but since this is only for debugging purposes this change should not be a problem. Dumpfiles created with the old version can be easily manually edited to make them compatible with this new approach, which means there will be no problems comparing dumps from the different versions either. Also be more consistent with using tabs to seperate different fields. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The TSF has to be reset only once, upon bringing the interface up in AP mode. For any beacon reconfigure calls after that, resetting the TSF results in incorrect beacon generation. The only exception is a change in the beacon interval, which is indicated to the driver by mac80211 through IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_BEACON_INTERVAL, handle this properly.

This changes the RX handler to pass more status flags to mac80211. It also changes part of the drop policy, if bad frames were requested. (Note that currently mac80211 will throw a WARN_ON in that case. But nothing bad will happen). This also removes some obsolete unused timestamping code.

If the AP thinks we are in power save state eventhough we are not truly in that state, it sets the TIM bit and does not send a data frame unless we send a null data frame to correct the state in the AP.

Software antenna tuning is broken because of an function ordering problem during rt2x00link_tuner(). rt2x00link_precalculate_signal() rt2x00leds_led_quality() rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() rt2x00link_precalculate_signal() will reset the quality TX/RX counters, however rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() requires the RX counter to see what RSSI value must be used for a particular antenna. We can't change the ordering since rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() might reset other statistics which are needed by the function called earlier. Move the reset of the quality TX/RX counters into a seperate function and move the call to after rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity(). Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
