a665d6e260 wl12xx: avoid premature elp entrance
The elp_work is being enqueued on wl1271_ps_elp_sleep, but doesn't get
cancelled on wl1271_ps_elp_wakeup. This might cause immediate entrance
to elp when the wl->mutex is being released, rather than using the delayed
enqueueing optimization.

Cancel elp_work on wakeup request, and add a new WL1271_FLAG_ELP_REQUESTED
flag to further synchronize the elp actions.

[Fixed a couple of typos in some comments -- Luca]

47684808fd wl12xx: support FW TX inactivity triggers
In AP mode we register for the MAX_TX_RETRY and INACTIVE_STA events.
Both are reported to the upper layers as a TX failure in the offending
stations.

In STA mode we register only for the MAX_TX_RETRY event. A TX failure is
interpreted as a loss of connection.

Support for IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS has been removed to avoid
the inherent race condition of a mac80211 TX failure counter in addition
to the FW counter.

This patch depends on "mac80211: allow low level driver to report packet
loss"

341b7cde6c wl12xx: Handle platforms without level trigger interrupts
Some platforms are incapable of triggering on level interrupts. Add a
platform quirks member in the platform data structure, as well as an
edge interrupt quirk which can be set on such platforms.

When the interrupt is requested with IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING, IRQF_ONESHOT
cannot be used, as we might miss interrupts that occur after the FW
status is cleared and before the threaded interrupt handler exits.

Moreover, when IRQF_ONESHOT is not set, iterating more than once in the
threaded interrupt handler introduces a few race conditions between this
handler and the hardirq handler. Currently this is worked around by
limiting the loop to one iteration only. This workaround has an impact
on performance. To remove to this restriction, the race conditions will
need to be addressed.

d2f4d47d84 wl12xx: Simplify TX blocks accounting
The total number of TX memory blocks may change when the dynamic memory
option is enabled. The current implementation only tracks the available
memory blocks, which over-complicates TX blocks accounting.

By tracking the number of allocated blocks, calculation of the number of
available blocks becomes simpler and cleaner. It simply equals the total
number of TX memory blocks minus the allocated ones.

Also, remove some unnecessary castings and use union member accesses
instead.

990f5de738 wl12xx: Clean up the dummy packet mechanism
The current implementation allocates a skb each time one is requested by
the firmware. Since dummy packets are handled differently than regular
packets, the skb needs to be marked. Currently, this is done by
setting the pkt_type member to 5. This might not be safe, as we cannot
be sure that there won't be any other packets with this pkt_type value.

Since the packet does not change from one request to another, we can
simply allocate a dummy packet template and always send it. All changes
to the skb done during packet preparation must be reverted, so the same
skb can be reused.

The dummy packets are not transmitted, therefore there's no need to set
the BSSID or our own MAC address.

In addition, the header portion of the packet was zeroed by mistake, so
fix that as well.

8bf69aae4c wl12xx: fix "JOIN while associated" commentary
Issuing multiple JOIN commands to the wl12xx's firmware, while
we're associated, might have undesired implications, so the driver
prints a message when that happens, and warn developers who check
out the source.

Update the commentary in order to consider the one valid scenario
where this can happen: roaming.

Cautiously keep the message for now, until we either gain confidence
there are no unintentional JOIN-while-associated events, or until
we move to the new multi-role fw who solves this multiple-join issue
for good.

c5745187a4 wl12xx: fix roaming
The wl12xx device normally drops all frames coming from BSSID
it is not joined with.

This behavior is configured today by the wl12xx driver in response
to a handful of ieee80211_bss_change and ieee80211_conf_changed
notification flags, such as BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC, BSS_CHANGED_BSSID,
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE, etc..

This breaks when we roam to a new BSSID, where authentication frames
are sent before any BSS_CHANGED/CONF_CHANGED flags are received.
When this happens the hardware silently drops the authentication
responses, and the roaming fails.

Ideally this aggressive filtering behavior of the device should be disabled
upon a notification from mac80211. Such notification will take place
after multi-channel support will be added: mac80211 will likely send a
remain-on-channel notification to drivers when entering sensitive
states (like authentication), otherwise the firmware might jump to
different channels (to serve a different role).

Until those notifications materialize, disable the hw BSSID filter
when authentication requests are sent, so roaming would work.

c1b193eb65 wl12xx: rearrange some ELP wake_up/sleep calls
ELP (Extremely/Enhanced Low Power, or something like that ;)) refers to
the powerstate of the 12xx chip, in which very low power is consumed,
and no commands (from the host) can be issued until the chip is woken up.

Wakeup/sleep commands must be protected by a wl->mutex, so it's generally
a good idea to call wakeup/sleep along with the mutex lock/unlock (where
needed). However, in some places the wl12xx driver calls wakeup/sleep in
some "inner" functions. This result in some "nested" wakeup/sleep calls
which might end up letting the chip go to sleep prematurely (e.g. during
event handling).

Fix it by rearranging the elp calls to come along with mutex_lock/unlock.

1d732e8cf3 wl12xx: Clamp byte mode transfers for 128x chips
On wl128x based devices, when TX packets are aggregated, each packet
size must be aligned to the SDIO block size, and sent using block mode
transfers.

The block size is set to 256 bytes, which is less than the maximum
possible byte transfer. Thus, if two small packets (< 256 bytes) are
aggregated, the aggregation buffer size would be 512, and will be sent
using byte mode transfers. This can have undesired side effects.

Fix this by setting the MMC_QUIRK_BLKSZ_FOR_BYTE_MODE mmc card quirk.
For 127x chips this has no effect, as the block size is set to 512
bytes.

09b661b332 wl12xx: fix potential buffer overflow in testmode nvs push
We were allocating the size of the NVS file struct and not checking
whether the length of the buffer passed was correct before copying it
into the allocated memory.  This is a security hole because buffer
overflows can occur if the userspace passes a bigger file than what is
expected.

With this patch, we check if the size of the data passed from
userspace matches the size required.

This bug was introduced in 2.6.36.

5245e3a9f7 wl12xx: fix module author's email address in the spi and sdio modules
The MODULE_AUTHOR() macro in the main module (wl12xx) has been updated
to reflect one of the author's new email address, but the wl12xx_spi
and wl12xx_sdio modules haven't been updated.  This patches updates
them.

24225b37bd wl12xx: wakeup chip from ELP during scan
Commands are sometimes sent to FW on scan completion. Make sure the chip
is awake to receive them. Sending commands while the chip is in ELP
can cause SDIO read errors and/or crash the FW.

b07d403705 wl12xx: Avoid redundant TX work
TX might be handled in the threaded IRQ handler, in which case, TX work
might be scheduled just to discover it has nothing to do.

Save a few context switches by cancelling redundant TX work in case TX
is about to be handled in the threaded IRQ handler. Also, avoid
scheduling TX work from wl1271_op_tx if not needed.

2da69b890f wl12xx: Switch to level trigger interrupts
The interrupt of the wl12xx is a level interrupt in nature, since the
interrupt line is not auto-reset. However, since resetting the interrupt
requires bus transactions, this cannot be done from an interrupt
context. Thus, requesting a level interrupt would require to disable the
irq and re-enable it after the HW is acknowledged. Since we now request
a threaded irq, this can also be done by specifying the IRQF_ONESHOT
flag.

Triggering on an edge can be problematic in some platforms, if the
sampling frequency is not sufficient for detecting very frequent
interrupts. In case an interrupt is missed, the driver will hang as the
interrupt line will stay high until it is acknowledged by the driver,
which will never happen.

Fix this by requesting a level triggered interrupt, with the
IRQF_ONESHOT flag.

a620865edf wl12xx: Switch to a threaded interrupt handler
To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to
interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up
a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more
efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler.  This
handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as
SDIO/SPI transactions.

Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs
(ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a
different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O
responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be
scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance.

The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was
changed. For simplicity, always query the FW for more pending
interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the
extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables
registering the IRQ handler with the ONESHOT option.
