The default qos value of 55 causes higher power consumption and the battery drains out quickly. So, remove the pm_qos request in the driver and the throughout issue in the Intel Pinetrail platforms in which the DMA latency is seen can be fixed with the following script: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcgrof/scripts/cpudmalatency.c http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/files/netlatency.c.txt More details can be found in the following bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27532 Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mshajakhan@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Vivek Natarajan <vnatarajan@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h | 2 -- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c | 4 ---- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c | 4 ---- 3 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h index 0963071..f424b08 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h @@ -21,7 +21,6 @@ #include <linux/device.h> #include <linux/leds.h> #include <linux/completion.h> -#include <linux/pm_qos_params.h> #include "debug.h" #include "common.h" @@ -648,7 +647,6 @@ struct ath_softc { struct ath_ant_comb ant_comb; - struct pm_qos_request_list pm_qos_req; }; struct ath_wiphy { diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c index 14b8ab3..91d9b2a 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c @@ -758,9 +758,6 @@ int ath9k_init_device(u16 devid, struct ath_softc *sc, u16 subsysid, ath_init_leds(sc); ath_start_rfkill_poll(sc); - pm_qos_add_request(&sc->pm_qos_req, PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY, - PM_QOS_DEFAULT_VALUE); - return 0; error_world: @@ -829,7 +826,6 @@ void ath9k_deinit_device(struct ath_softc *sc) } ieee80211_unregister_hw(hw); - pm_qos_remove_request(&sc->pm_qos_req); ath_rx_cleanup(sc); ath_tx_cleanup(sc); ath9k_deinit_softc(sc); diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c index c0c3464..7d332e5 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c @@ -1244,8 +1244,6 @@ static int ath9k_start(struct ieee80211_hw *hw) ath9k_btcoex_timer_resume(sc); } - pm_qos_update_request(&sc->pm_qos_req, 55); - mutex_unlock: mutex_unlock(&sc->mutex); @@ -1423,8 +1421,6 @@ static void ath9k_stop(struct ieee80211_hw *hw) sc->sc_flags |= SC_OP_INVALID; - pm_qos_update_request(&sc->pm_qos_req, PM_QOS_DEFAULT_VALUE); - mutex_unlock(&sc->mutex); ath_print(common, ATH_DBG_CONFIG, "Driver halt\n"); -- 1.7.3.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
