[PATCH V2 for 3.19 0/7] Fixes for rtl8192ee

[Larry Finger]

Kalle,

This is V2 of the patches for rtl8192ee to be applied to 3.19. They replace
all the patches submitted under the title '[PATCH for 3.19 0/3] rtlwifi:
Various updates/fixes". All are marked for backporting to 3.18.

The first of these removes a logging statement that is no longer needed.

Patches 1-6 are relatively small and should not be a problem for 3.19.
Patch 7 is quite a bit larger, and adds two new routines to detect
DMA stalls. I will understand if you want to defer that to -next; however,
it does fix a serious problem.

[PATCH V2 for 3.19 1/7] rtlwifi: Remove logging statement that is no longer needed

[Larry Finger]

In commit e9538cf4f907 ("rtlwifi: Fix error when accessing unmapped memory
in skb"), a printk was included to indicate that the condition had been
reached. There is now enough evidence from other users that the fix is
working. That logging statement can now be removed.

[PATCH V2 for 3.19 2/7] rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix handling of new style descriptors

[Larry Finger]

From: Troy Tan <troy_tan@realsil.com.cn>

The hardware and firmware for the RTL8192EE utilize a FIFO list of
descriptors. There were some problems with the initial implementation.
The worst of these failed to detect that the FIFO was becoming full,
which led to the device needing to be power cycled. As this condition
is not relevant to most of the devices supported by rtlwifi, a callback
routine was added to detect this situation. This patch implements the
necessary changes in the pci handler, and the linkage into the appropriate
rtl8192ee routine.

[PATCH V2 for 3.19 4/7] rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix TX hang due to failure to update TX write point

[Larry Finger]

From: Troy Tan <troy_tan@realsil.com.cn>

Initially, the routine to update the write point in the FIFO buffer was
coded to save CPU time by not doing the calculation every interrupt. This
was an error and results in TX hangs.

[PATCH V2 for 3.19 5/7] rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix parsing of received packet

[Larry Finger]

From: Troy Tan <troy_tan@realsil.com.cn>

The firmware supplies two kinds of packets via the RX mechanism. Besides the
normal data received over the air, these packets may contain bluetooth status
and other information. The present code fails to detect which kind of
information was received.

[PATCH V2 for 3.19 6/7] rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix problems with calculating free space in FIFO

[Larry Finger]

This driver utilizes a FIFO buffer for RX descriptors. There are four places
in the code where it calculates the number of free slots. Several of those
locations do the calculation incorrectly. To fix these and to prevent future
mistakes, a common inline routine is created.

[PATCH V2 for 3.19 7/7] rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix DMA stalls

From: Troy Tan <troy_tan@realsil.com.cn>

There are instances where the DMA engine stalls. The new code detects
such stalls and restarts DMA without needing a power reset.

-rc6 is most likely released on Sunday, I cannot send six patches this
late in the cycle unless our inboxes are filling of bug reports. As my
inbox seems to be pretty empty about rtlwifi problems can you give more
background why you think it's important to get these to 3.19? Are these
all regressions from 3.18 or older bugs which just got fixed now?

>   rtlwifi: Remove logging statement that is no longer needed

I think this is ok.

>   rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix adhoc fail

Ad-Hoc mode is not that popular, IMHO this can easily wait for -next.

For -rc1 or -rc2 these would have been ok, but without really good
justifications getting these into -rc7 is difficult.

But the patches itself are create, huge improvement compared to v1.

Kalle,

It is too bad that it took so long to get these ready. I think the reason that 
there are not a lot of bug reports is because the complaints are all in the 
GitHub issues for the rtlwifi_new repo, or with Ubuntu. If there are any that 
get filed against Bugzilla, I will refer them to that repo.

Driver rtl8192ee was new in 3.18. There had been a previous version in staging, 
but it did not get a lot of usage. I'm not sure if the additional usage after 
3.18 was due to the driver being in the regular tree, or if vendors started 
using the chips, but the problem reports started arriving. All these bugs have 
been part of rtl8192ee since it has been in the kernel, thus they are hard to 
categorize as regressions.

Push all 7 into -next so that they will be in 3.20. If you think it to be 
prudent, please leave the Cc for stable. That way 3.18 and 3.19 will eventually 
get the fixes.

Thanks,

Larry

Ok.

Good. So we are not going backwards in quality, that's most important.

I think that's the best plan, thanks for understanding. The patches are
in my queue and I should apply them within the next few days, unless
anything comes during the review.

I had to skip these three patches because of my mistake. So what I did
was that I had merged ("fast forwarded") the net tree into my
wireless-drivers tree and not realising I should not do that. So now I
can't merge wireless-drivers into wireless-drivers-next anymore, as it
will pull unnecessary net changes.

I'll apply this after 3.20-rc1 is released, it should apply then without
problems (or the conflicts are easy for me to fix). Luckily this is just
a cosmetic error and can wait for 3.20-rc2, right?

Not sure what to do with these one. Should you rebase and send them now?

That is correct. 3.20-rc2 will be OK. I'll probably get a bunch of "your **** 
driver is spamming my logs, but I can ignore them".

These two fix real bugs and need to be in the kernel ASAP. Unfortunately, I saw 
you pass them off to DaveM and I deleted them from my "Submitted Patch" list. I 
can recreate them from my working copy of wireless-drivers, and I will resubmit. 
When I do, please process them as quickly as possible.

Thanks,

Larry

Thanks, applied to wireless-drivers.git.
