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.

2012-06-22mwifiex: 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 fixes above issues. Signed-off-by: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-06-11mwifiex: fix simultaneous scan and Tx traffic problemAmitkumar Karwar
If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running, driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic there is a delay for Tx packets. This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by 20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will be aborted.

2011-12-14mwifiex: remove cfg_workqueueAmitkumar Karwar
cfg_workqueue was added to notify cfg80211 that scan, connect or disconnect is done by calling respective completion handlers. We can avoid use of this workqueue by calling those handlers from other places. 1) Call connect, disconnect completion handlers in their callback functions. ex. Call cfg80211_connect_result() in mwifiex_cfg80211_connect() 2) Call scan completion handler after parsing response of last scan command in a queue. After removing the workqueue, variables (assoc_request etc.) and checks used for mutual exclusion become redundant. Those are also removed in this patch.

2011-10-14mwifiex: use separate wait condition for each command nodeAmitkumar Karwar
Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition) is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver command time out is seen for INIT command. This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag (scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.
