* mac80211: Update to version 4.19.7-1Hauke Mehrtens2018-12-1322-236/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | This updates the backports package used in mac80211 to version 4.19.7-1 which is based on kernel 4.19.7. This integrates all the stable fixes introduces in this kernel version. The deleted patches are not needed any more because they are either included in the upstream Linux kernel 4.19.7 or in backports 4.19.7-1. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
* ath9k: register GPIO chip for OF targetsMathias Kresin2018-12-122-10/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This partitialy reverts commit ccab68f2d399. Registering the GPIO chip without a parent device completely breaks the ath9k GPIOs for device tree targets. As long as boards using the devicetree don't have the gpio-controller property set for the ath9k node, the unloading of the driver works as expected. Register the GPIO chip with the ath9k device as parent only for OF targets to find a trade-off between the needs of driver developers and the broken LEDs and buttons seen by users.

* mac80211: fix brcmfmac on brcm2708Stijn Tintel2018-12-041-0/+76
| | | | | | | | | An upstream change broke brcmfmac when loaded with modparam roamoff=1. As we are carrying a patch that enables roamoff by default on the brcm2708 target to improve stability, wireless is currently broken there. Add a patch to fix brcmfmac with roamoff=1.

* ath9k: fix dynack in IBSS modeKoen Vandeputte2018-11-065-0/+309
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, dynack was only tested upstream using AP/STA mode. Testing it on IBSS, showed that late-ack detection was broken. This is caused due to dynack using Association Request/Response frames for late-ack detection, which IBSS does not use. Also allowing Authentication frames here solves this. A second issue also got fixed, which was also seen AP/STA mode: When a station was added, the estimated value would be exponentially averaged using 0 as a starting point. This means that on larger distances, the ack timeout was still not high enough before synchronizing would run out of late-ack's for estimation. Fix this by using the initial estimated value as a baseline and only start averaging in the following estimation rounds. Test setup: - 2x identical devices: RB912UAG-5HPnD + 19dB sector - IBSS - 2x2 802.11an (ar9340), HT20, long GI - RSSI's -70 / -71 - Real distance: 23910 meter Results (60s iperf runs): Fixed coverage class 54 (up to 24300m): * 21.5 Mbits/sec Dynack: * 28.9 Mbits/sec Signed-off-by: Koen Vandeputte <koen.vandeputte@ncentric.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Tri-band devices (1x 2.4GHz + 2x 5GHz) often incorporate special filters in the RX and TX path. These filtered channel can in theory still be used by the hardware but the signal strength is reduced so much that it makes no sense. There is already a DT property to limit the available channels but ath10k has to manually call this functionality to limit the currrently set wiphy channels further.

* mac80211: Expose support for ath9k DynackKoen Vandeputte2018-07-111-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enables support for Dynack feature. When a remote station is far away, we need to compensate for the distance by allowing more time for an ACK to arrive back before issueing a retransmission. Currently, it needs to be set fixed to indicate the maximum distance the remote station will ever be. While this mostly works for static antennae, it introduces 2 issues: - If the actual distance is less, speed is reduced due to a lot of wates wait-time - If the distance becomes greater, retries start to occur and comms can get lost. Allowing to set it dynamically using dynack ensures the best possible tradeoff between speed vs distance. This feature is currently only supported in ath9k. it is also disabled by default. Enabling it can be done in 2 ways: - issue cmd: iw phy0 set distance auto - sending the NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_DYN_ACK flag to mac80211 driver using netlink Disabling it can be done by providing a valid fixed value. To give an idea of a practical example: In my usecase, we have mesh wifi device installed on ships/platforms. Currently, the coverage class is set at 12000m fixed. When a vessel moved closer (ex. 1500m), the measured link capacity was a lot lower compared to setting the coverage class fixed to 1500m Dynack completely solved this, nearly providing double the bandwidth at closer range compared to the fixed setting of 12000m being used. Also when a vessel sailed to a distance greater than the fixed setting, communication was lost as the ACK's never arrived within the max allowed timeframe. Actual distance: 6010m iperf 60s run avg Fixed 12150m: 31 Mbit/s Dynack: 58 Mbit/s Fixed 6300m: 51 Mbit/s Dynack: 59 Mbit/s Fixed 3000m: 13 Mbit/s (lots of retries) Dynack: 58 Mbit/s Actual distance: 1504m iperf 60s run avg Fixed 12150m: 31 Mbit/s Dynack: 86 Mbit/s Fixed 6300m: 55 Mbit/s Dynack: 87 Mbit/s Fixed 3000m: 67 Mbit/s Dynack: 87 Mbit/s Signed-off-by: Koen Vandeputte <koen.vandeputte@ncentric.com>
