We receive many bug reports about system hang during suspend/resume
when ath9k driver is in use. Adrian Chadd remarked that this problem
happens on systems that have ASPM disabled.
To do not hit the bug, skip doing ->config_pci_powersave magic if PCIe
downstream port device, which ath9k device is connected to, has ASPM
disabled.
Bug was introduced by:
commit 53bc7aa08b
Author: Vivek Natarajan <[email protected]>
Date: Mon Apr 5 14:48:04 2010 +0530
ath9k: Add support for newer AR9285 chipsets.

however I did not receive confirmation about that, except from Camilo
Mesias, whose system stops hang regularly with this patch (but still
hangs from time to time, but this is probably some other bug).

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out

iwlwifi: do not set tx power when channel is changing
we set device tx power during initialization to priv->tx_power_next,
which itself is initialized to minimum power. That changed
default behaviour of driver. Previously we initialized device to
transmit at maximum available power by default. Patch change again
to previous behaviour and cleanup tx power initialization.
Fortunately this is not critical fix, as mac80211 layer setup

exceed plcp delta threshold equal to 100 (2*100/2).
Also checking ack's in short time, can results not necessary false

we do not receive ACKs frames or when remote device does not send
ACKs at the moment.

Is still possible to schedule conn_mon_timer after disassociate from
ieee80211_sta_tx_notify() and ieee80211_offchannel_ps_disable().
Move disassociate check to ieee80211_sta_reset_conn_monitor() to cover
all these cases, and add unlikely since in most the time we call
ieee80211_sta_reset_conn_monitor() when associated.

Commit 4df3071ebd "ath9k_hw: optimize
interrupt mask changes", changed ath9k_hw_set_interrupts function to
enable interrupts regardless of function argument, what could possibly
be wrong. Correct that behaviour and check "ints" arguments before
enabling interrupts, also disable interrupts if ints do not have
ATH9K_INT_GLOBAL flag set.

Many users report very low speed problem on 3945 devices,
this patch fixes problem, but only for some of them.
For unknown reason, sometimes after hw scanning, device is not able
to receive frames at high rate. Since plcp health check may request
hw scan to "reset radio", performance problem start to be observable
after update kernel to .35, where plcp check was introduced.
Bug reporter confirmed that removing plcp check fixed problem for him.

Mac80211 can request for tx power and channel change in one ->config
call. If that happens, *_send_tx_power functions will try to setup tx

the band. I.e error "Failed to get channel info for channel 140 [0]",
can be printed frequently when operating in software scanning mode.

pcmcia_request_irq() and pcmcia_enable_device() are intended
to be called from process context (first function allocate memory
with GFP_KERNEL, second take a mutex). We can not take spin lock
and call them.
It's safe to move spin lock after pcmcia_enable_device() as we
still hold off IRQ until dev->base_addr is 0 and driver will
not proceed with interrupts when is not ready.

Looks that we do not set correctly antennas when scanning
on 5Ghz band and when bluetooth is enabled, because
priv->cfg->scan_tx_antennas[band] is only defined for
IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ.
To fix we check band before limiting antennas to first one.
This allow to remove hard coded cfg->scan_tx_antennas[band].

Since commit 6cd0b1cb87 "iwlagn: fix
hw-rfkill while the interface is down", we enable interrupts when
device is not ready to receive them. However hardware, when it is in
some inconsistent state, can generate other than rfkill interrupts
and crash the system. I can reproduce crash with "kernel BUG at
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn.c:1010!" message, when forcing
firmware restarts.
To fix only enable rfkill interrupt when down device and after probe.
I checked patch on laptop with 5100 device, rfkill change is still
passed to user space when device is down.
