mwifiex: fix infinite loop by removing NO_PKT_PRIO_TID

Using NO_PKT_PRIO_TID and tx_pkts_queued to check for an empty
state, can lead to a contradictory state, resulting in an
infinite loop. Currently queueing and dequeuing of packets is
not synchronized, and can happen concurrently. While tx_pkts_queued
is incremented when adding a packet, max prio is set to NO_PKT when
the WMM list is empty. If a packet is added right after the check
for empty, but before setting max prio to NO_PKT, that packet is
trapped and creates an infinite loop.

Because of the new packet, tx_pkts_queued is at least 1, indicating
wmm lists are not empty. Opposing that max prio is NO_PKT, which
means "skip this wmm queue, it has no packets". The infinite loop
results, because the main loop checks the wmm lists for not empty
via tx_pkts_queued, but for dequeing it uses max_prio to see if it
can skip current list. This will never end, unless a new packet is
added which will restore max prio to the level of the trapped packet.

The solution here is to rely on tx_pkts_queued solely for checking
wmm queue to be empty, and drop the NO_PKT define. It does not
address the locking issue.

This patch fixes an issue where RX throughput values observed

PCIe8897 supports larger rx_win_size. After changing these values

Different tx_win_size and rx_win_size are used for AP mode.

mwifiex: add multi-queue support

This patch adds support for multiple TX queues inside mwifiex
driver. Four different queues according to WMM access categories
are defined for each virtual interface. When a packet is
received from netdev for transmission, tx pending count for
particular queue is incremented and if tx pending count has
reached upper water-mark, this queue is stopped instead of
stopping all queues. Similarly when a packet is successfully
transmitted from device, tx pending count is decremented per
queue and if pending count falls below lower water-mark, queue
operations are again resumed. This ensures that not all
tranmission is blocked if traffic with particular TOS value
suddenly increases.

Also wake all queues after association/IBSS_join/uAP_BSS_start
to enable traffic on all queues.

mwifiex: update adapter->bss_prio_tbl[j].bss_prio_cur correctly

"adapter->bss_prio_tbl[j].bss_prio_head" points to linked list of
interfaces with priority 'j'. "bss_prio_tbl[j].bss_prio_cur" is
supposed to point to next interface every time the routine for
dequeuing the packet is called. This ensures that each interface
gets fair chance.

Currently we have AP and station interfaces with priority '0'.
Therefore "adapter->bss_prio_tbl[0].bss_prio_cur" should
alternately point to AP and station nodes. Since "bss_prio_cur"
is not correctly updated, for each packet picked for AP, two
packets are picked for station interface.

This patch fixes the problem by correctly updating "bss_prio_cur".

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.

mwifiex: fix 11n rx packet drop issue

Currently we check the sequence number of last packet received
against start_win. If a sequence hole is detected, start_win is
updated to next sequence number.

Since the rx sequence number is initialized to 0, a corner case
exists when BA setup happens immediately after association. As
0 is a valid sequence number, start_win gets increased to 1
incorrectly. This causes the first packet with sequence number 0
being dropped.

Initialize rx sequence number as 0xffff and skip adjusting
start_win if the sequence number remains 0xffff. The sequence
number will be updated once the first packet is received.

seconds.

That commit is reverted to fix the problem.
Also, MIN_NUM_AMSDU check is moved inside the loop to optimize the

Therefore "memset(0xff)" is used to treat multicast packet as broadcast
one while choosing RA.
