Basically it\nmeans enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it\ndynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low\nlatency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some\nrequire the host to do it.\n\nThe dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to\nieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace\nwith Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the\ndynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms:\n\niwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m\n\nPower save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware.\nIt\u0027s also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is\nconsidered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle.\nIn case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature\nwith IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS.\n\nBig thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.\n\nSigned-off-by: Kalle Valo \u003ckalle.valo@nokia.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Johannes Berg \u003cjohannes@sipsolutions.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John W.

It is also not used\nby any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for \"good\nenough\" suspend/resume.\n\nUnfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only\nworks for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or\nany other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless.\n\nRecently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because\nit required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping\nfunctions within the critical section, and now because it\u0027s called\nby iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl\nbecause it is flushed under rtnl.\n(cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id\u003d12046)\n\nI think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it\nentirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly.\nFor suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for\nthe case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably\nsimply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get\nmac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to\nconnect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we\nwill need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer\nto schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation,\nwhile the suspend operation must be done directly.\n\nProper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect\nto the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short\nenough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect\nthat the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the\nassociation is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data\nframe is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and\nhave mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is\navailable and requested.\n\nSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg \u003cjohannes@sipsolutions.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John W.

Alternatively, a scan\nthat started as a hardware scan may terminate as though it\nwas a software scan, if the timing is just right.\n\nOn SMP systems, software scan also has a similar problem,\njust canceling the delayed work and setting a flag isn\u0027t\nenough since it may be running concurrently; in this case\nwe would also never restore state of other interfaces.\n\nThis patch hopefully fixes the problems by always invoking\nieee80211_scan_completed or requiring it to be invoked by\nthe driver, I suspect the drivers that have -\u003ehw_scan() are\nbuggy. The bug will not manifest itself unless you remove\nthe interface while hw-scanning which will also turn off\nthe hw, and then add a new interface which will be unusable\nuntil you scan once.\n\nSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg \u003cjohannes@sipsolutions.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John W.
