      iwlwifi: avoid Tx queue memory allocation in interface down · de0f60ea
      Zhu Yi authored 
      We used to free all the Tx queues memory when interface is brought
down and reallocate them again in interface up. This requires
order-4 allocation for txq->cmd[]. In situations like s2ram, this
usually leads to allocation failure in the memory subsystem. The
patch fixed this problem by allocating the Tx queues memory only at
the first time. Later iwl_down/iwl_up only initialize but don't
free and reallocate them. The memory is freed at the device removal
time. BTW, we have already done this for the Rx queue.

      iwlwifi: use consistent table for tx data collect · 04f2dec1
      Shanyu Zhao authored 
      When collecting tx data for non-aggregation packets in rate scaling, if
the tx data matches "other table", it still uses current table to update
the stats and calculate average throughput in function rs_collect_tx_data().
This can mess up the rate scaling data structure and cause a kernel panic
in a BUG_ON statement in rs_rate_scale_perform().

To fix this bug, we pass table pointer instead of window pointer (pointed
to by table pointer) to function rs_collect_tx_data() so that the table
being used is consistent.

      iwlwifi: fix DMA allocation warnings · dd487449
      Zhu Yi authored 
      Below warning is triggered sometimes at module removal time when
CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is enabled. This should be caused by we didn't
unmap pending commands (enqueued, but no complete notification
received) for the Tx command queue.

      iwlwifi: Silence tfds_in_queue message · c8406ea8
      Adel Gadllah authored 
      Commit a239a8b4 introduced a
noisy message, that fills up the log very fast.

The error seems not to be fatal (the connection is stable and
performance is ok), so make it IWL_DEBUG_TX rather than IWL_ERR.

      ath9k: fix BUG_ON triggered by PAE frames · 4fdec031
      Felix Fietkau authored 
      When I initially stumbled upon sequence number problems with PAE frames
in ath9k, I submitted a patch to remove all special cases for PAE
frames and let them go through the normal transmit path.
Out of concern about crypto incompatibility issues, this change was
merged instead:

commit 6c8afef5
Author: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com>
Date:   Tue Feb 9 10:07:00 2010 +0530

    ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames

After a lot of testing, I'm able to reliably trigger a driver crash on
rekeying with current versions with this change in place.
It seems that the driver does not support sending out regular MPDUs with
the same TID while an A-MPDU session is active.
This leads to duplicate entries in the TID Tx buffer, which hits the
following BUG_ON in ath_tx_addto_baw():

    index  = ATH_BA_INDEX(tid->seq_start, bf->bf_seqno);
    cindex = (tid->baw_head + index) & (ATH_TID_MAX_BUFS - 1);

    BUG_ON(tid->tx_buf[cindex] != NULL);

I believe until we actually have a reproducible case of an
incompatibility with another AP using no PAE special cases, we should
simply get rid of this mess.

This patch completely fixes my crash issues in STA mode and makes it
stay connected without throughput drops or connectivity issues even
when the AP is configured to a very short group rekey interval.

      In case debugfs does not init for some reason (or is disabled
