The problem is that when the attenuation is increased,
the rate will start to drop from MCS7 -> MCS6, and finally
will see MCS1 -> CCK_11Mbps. When the rate is changed b/w
CCK and OFDM, it will use register desired_scale to calculate
how much tx gain need to change.
The output power with the same tx gain for CCK and OFDM modulated
signals are different. This difference is constant for AR9280
but not AR9285/AR9271. It has different PA architecture
a constant. So it should be calibrated against this PA
characteristic.
The driver has to read the calibrated values from EEPROM and set
the tx power registers accordingly.

During PHY errors, the MAC can sometimes fail to enter an idle state on older
hardware (before AR9380) after an rx stop has been requested.
This typically shows up in the kernel log with messages like these:
ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c:504 ath_stoprecv+0xcc/0xf0 [ath9k]()

When this happens, the state that the MAC enters is easy to identify and
does not result in bogus DMA traffic, however to ensure a working state
after a channel change, the hardware should still be reset.
This patch adds detection for this specific MAC state, after which the above

Current ath9k code does not handle beacon timers on opmode

already configured AP vif's beacon timers during scan.
On multi station vif case, configure beacon timers beased
on primary vif selected. This also helps while moving back
to single STA vif from multi STA vifs, where the power save

Stuck beacon detection is supposed to trigger when 9 consecutive beacons
could not be sent by the hardware. When the driver runs only one active
AP mode interface, it still configures the hardware beacon timer for
4 (ATH_BCBUF) beacon slots slots, which causes stuck beacon detection
to be reset if ath9k_hw_stoptxdma clears the stuck frames between
SWBA intervals.
Fix this by not resetting the missed beacon count for empty slots and
multiplying the threshold not by the maximum number of beacon slots
but by the configured number of beacon interfaces.

AP mode beacon timers in ath9k are configured in milliseconds, which breaks
when increasing ATH_BCBUF to 8 instead of 4 (due to rounding errors).
Since the hardware timers are actually configured in microseconds, it's
better to let the driver use that unit directly.
To be able to do that, the beacon interval parameter abuse for passing
certain flags needs to be removed. This is easy to do, because those flags
are completely unnecessary anyway. ATH9K_BEACON_ENA is ignored,
ATH9K_BEACON_RESET_TSF can be replaced with calling ath9k_hw_reset_tsf
from the driver directly.

Fine-tuning register write operation and avoid unnecessay
delays for ath9k_htc driver, saves hw reset time which
improves scanning time and also solves one of the following
scenario.
Sometimes the ACK is sent by STA for assoc response is not
seen at AP side. So the AP continues to send retry assoc
responses. At the STA side, since the assoc response was
already forwarded to mac80211, it proceeded to channel change
which in turns does chip reset.
In most of the cases the chip reset was completed before
max retries are reached at AP side. Hence STA can able to ACK
the retried frames again. But in clear environment these retries
are completed within shortspan of time.
Since ath9k_htc consumes more time for hw reset, this latency
is causing dissociation by AP due to max reties are reached.
This issue was originally reported with Cisco Aironet 1250 AP
in HT40 mode in noise free environment.

With the recent tx status optimization in mac80211, we bail out as
and and when invalid rate index is found. So the behavior of resetting
rate idx to -1 and count to 0 has changed for the rate indexes that
were not part of the driver's retry series.
This has resulted in ath9k using incorrect rate table index which
caused the system to panic. Ideally ath9k need to loop only for the
indexes that were part of the retry series and so simply use hw->max_rates
as the loop counter.
Pasted the stack trace of the panic issue for reference.

ath9k calls ath9k_hw_stoptxdma every time it sends a beacon, however there
is not much point in doing that if the previous beacon and mcast traffic
went out properly. On AR9380, calling that function too often can result
in an increase of stuck beacons due to differences in the handling of the
queue enable/disable functionality.
With this patch, the queue will only be explicitly stopped if the previous
data frames were not sent successfully. With the beacon code being the
only remaining user of ath9k_hw_stoptxdma, this function can be simplified
in order to remove the now pointless attempts at waiting for transmission
completion, which would never happen at this point due to the different
method of tx scheduling of the beacon queue.

for various virtualization software), we should sacrifice it for better
reliability during normal operation.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

One place used WME_AC_* as a queue index for sc->debug.stats.txstats, however

The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the
buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max
buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as
the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0
instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it
isn't possible to honour this request.
In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the
addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to
the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called
with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That
way the driver can limit the number of subframes in
aggregates appropriately.
Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the

The rx error bit parsing was changed to consider PHY errors and various
decryption errors separately. While correct according to the documentation,
this is causing spurious decryption error reports in some situations.
Fix this by restoring the original order of the checks in those places,

Since baseband hangs are rare, but the hang check function has a high
false positive rate in some situations, we need to add more reliable
indicators.
In AP mode we can use blocked beacon transmissions as an indicator,
they should be rare enough.
In station mode, we can skip the hang check entirely, since a true
hang will trigger beacon loss detection, and mac80211 will rescan,
which leads to a hw reset that will bring the hardware back to life.
To make this more reliable, we need to skip fast channel changes
if the hardware appears to be stuck.

The power detector adc offset calibration has to be done
on 4 minutes interval (longcal * pa_skip_count). But the commit
"ath9k_hw: fix a noise floor calibration related race condition"
makes the PA calibration executed more frequently beased on
nfcal_pending value. Running PAOffset calibration lesser than
longcal interval doesn't help anything and the worse part is that
it causes NF load timeouts and RX deaf conditions.
In a very noisy environment, where the distance b/w AP & station
is ~10 meter and running a downlink udp traffic with frequent
background scan causes "Timeout while waiting for nf to load:
AR_PHY_AGC_CONTROL=0x40d1a" and moves the chip into deaf state.

The commit 'ath9k_hw: Disable PAPRD for rates with low Tx power' changed
the code that sets the PAPRD rate masks to use only either the HT20 mask
or the HT40 mask. This is wrong, as the hardware can still use HT20 rates
even when configured for HT40, and the operating channel mode does not
affect PAPRD operation.
The register for the HT40 rate mask is applied as a mask on top of the
other registers to selectively disable PAPRD for specific rates on HT40
packets only.
This patch changes the code back to the old behavior which matches the
intended use of these registers. While with current cards this should not
make any practical difference (according to Atheros, the HT20 and HT40
mask should always be equal), it is more correct that way, and maybe
the HT40 mask will be used for some rare corner cases in the future.

To improve aggregation length, there should not be more than two fully formed

queue length before forming new A-MPDUs. This can reduce the throughput (or
maybe even starve out A-MPDU traffic) when too many non-aggregated frames are
in the queue.
Fix this by keeping track of pending A-MPDU frames (even when they're sent out
as single frames), but exclude rate control probing frames to improve

mac80211 will notify drivers when to go idle and ath9k
assumed that it would get further notifications for idle
states after a device stop() config call but as per agreed
semantics the idle state of the radio is left up to driver
after mac80211 issues the stop() callback. The driver is
resposnbile for ensuring the device remains idle after
that even between suspend / resume calls.
This fixes suspend/resume when you issue suspend and resume
twice on ath9k when ath9k_stop() was already called. We need
to put the radio to full sleep in order for resume to work
correctly.
What might seem fishy is we are turning the radio off
after resume. The reason why we do this is because we know
we should not have anything enabled after a mac80211 tells
us to stop(), if we resume and never get a start() we won't
get another stop() by mac80211 so to be safe always bring
the 802.11 device with the radio disabled after resume,
this ensures that if we suspend we already have the radio
disabled and only a start() will ever trigger it on.

Upon a failure we never call ath9k_ps_restore() on ath_radio_enable(),

and will also make the chip fail upon resume with:
ath: Starting driver with initial channel: 5745 MHz
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000
This would make the chip useless upon resume.
