2012-08-06mwifiex: improve scan delay logic during Tx trafficAmitkumar Karwar
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.

2012-07-17mwifiex: remove redundant code in set channel pathAmitkumar Karwar
1) Recently we removed set_channel cfg80211 handler. Also, cfg80211 blocks ibss connection requests if ibss network is already started /joined. Hence the code to restart ibss network in new channel (mwifiex_drv_change_adhoc_chan() function) becomes redundant. 2) mwifiex_bss_set_channel() function is redundant. It does some error checking and calculate adhoc start band and adhoc channel. Cfg80211 already takes care of error checking and provides correct channel information to the driver. Adhoc start band is already calculated in mwifiex_set_rf_channel() function. Other associated code is also removed in this patch.

2012-06-28mwifiex: wakeup main thread to handle command queuedAmitkumar Karwar
We miss to wakeup main thread after adding command to cmd pending queue at follwing places. These commands are handled later when main thread is woken up for handling an interrupt for sleep event from firmware. This adds worst case delay of 50msec. 1) We don't wakeup main thread when asynchronous command is added to cmd pending queue. Move queue_work() call from mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() to mwifiex_send_cmd_async() to wakeup main thread for sync as well as async commands. 2) Scan operation is triggered due to following reasons a) request from user (ex. "iw scan" command) b) Scan performed by driver internally. In first case main thread is woken up when first scan command is queued in cmd pending queue (we don't need to wakeup main thread for subsequent scan commands, because they are queued in scan command response handler), but it is not done for second case. queue_work() is moved inside mwifiex_scan_networks() to handle both the cases.

2012-06-22mwifiex: wake up main thread to handle Tx traffic if scan is delayed/abortedAmitkumar Karwar
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 ensures uniformity in event skb sent by interface code (USB/PCIe/SDIO) which automatically fixes following bugs. 1) For USB interface, same buffer is reused for receiving cmd and events from firmware. While handling events, we perform skb_pull(skb, 4) to remove event header. Corresponding skb_push() call is missing while submitting the buffer. 2) For PCIe interface, event skb is passed with event header.

2012-06-22mwifiex: fix WPS eapol handshake failureStone Piao
After association, STA will go through eapol handshake with WPS enabled AP. It's observed that WPS handshake fails with some 11n AP. The reason for the failure is that the eapol packet is sent via 11n frame aggregation. The eapol packet should be sent directly without 11n aggregation. This patch fixes the problem by adding WPS session control while dequeuing Tx packets for transmission.
