main_proc_lock and int_lock (in mwifiex_adapter) are the only spinlocks
used in hardirq contexts. The rest are only in task or softirq contexts.
Convert every other lock from *_irq{save,restore}() variants to _bh()
variants.
This is a mechanical transformation of all spinlock usage in mwifiex
using the following:
Step 1:
I ran this nasty sed script:
sed -i -E '/spin_lock_irqsave|spin_unlock_irqrestore/ {
/main_proc_lock|int_lock/! {
s:(spin_(un|)lock)_irq(save|restore):\1_bh: ;
# Join broken lines.
:a /;$/! {
N;
s/\s*\n\s*//;
ba
}
/,.*\);$/ s:,.*\):\):
}
}' drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/*
Step 2:
Manually delete the flags / ra_list_flags args from:
mwifiex_send_single_packet()
mwifiex_11n_aggregate_pkt()
mwifiex_send_processed_packet()
which are now unused.
Step 3:
Apply this semantic patch (coccinelle) to remove the unused 'flags'
variables:
// <smpl>
@@
type T;
identifier i;
@@
(
extern T i;
|
- T i;
... when != i
)
// </smpl>
(Usage is something like this:
make coccicheck COCCI=./patch.cocci MODE=patch M=drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/
although this skips *.h files for some reasons, so I had to massage
stuff.)
Testing: I've played with a variety of stress tests, including download
stress tests on the same APs which caught regressions with commit
5188d5453b ("mwifiex: restructure rx_reorder_tbl_lock usage"). I've
primarily tested on Marvell 8997 / PCIe, although I've given 8897 / SDIO
a quick spin as well.

This patch adds HT support for adhoc station. Firmware will upload
ibss sta connect event with beacon data, whenever new station joins
the adhoc network. Driver will check the HT IE and decide whether to
support HT aggreagation or not.
