The old function rt2x00queue_payload_align() handled
both adding and removing L2 padding and some basic
frame alignment. The entire function was being abused
because it had multiple functions and the header length
argument was somtimes used to align the header instead
of the payload.
Additionally there was a bug when inserting L2 padding
that only the payload was aligned but not the header. This
happens when the header wasn't aligned properly by mac80211,
but rt2x00lib only moves the payload.
A secondary problem was that when removing L2 padding during
TXdone or RX the skb wasn't resized to the proper size.
Split the function into seperate functions each handling
its task as it should.

The patch "Implement set_tim callback for all drivers" can cause kernel
oops in rt73usb_write_beacon. The oops is caused by one of the following
race conditions:
* In case of two near calls to set_tim: rt2x00lib_beacondone_iter is
cleaning the beacon skb, whereas rt73usb_write_beacon is still using it.
* In case of two near updates of beacon: first as the result of set_tim
and second as the result of a call from an application (e.g. hostapd).

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

Indirect registers require multiple calls to the CSR

USB drivers where already protected under a mutex,
so rename the mutex and make PCI drivers use the mutex

With the new configuration handling, and more specifically
splitting the configuration of the antenna from the normal
configuration steps allowed a BUG_ON() to be triggered
in the driver because the SW_DIVERSITY was send to the
driver. This fixes that by catching the value early in
rt2x00config.c and replacing it with a sensible value.
This also fixes a problem where the antenna is not being
initialized at all when the radio is enabled. Since it
no longer is part of the mac80211 configuration the
only place where rt2x00 configured it was the SW diversity
handler. Obviously this is broken for all non-diversity
hardware and breaks SW diversity due to a broken initialization.
When the radio is enabled the antenna will be configured
once as soon as the config() callback function is called.

Some hardware configuration registers such as antenna and channel configuration
can only be written when the radio is enabled. Previously, we didn't consider
this, so some configuration items could be set inconsistently after reenabling

the radio is off are postponed until the radio is switched back on. We also
leave the radio turned off during initialization and only enable it when
requested by mac80211. This allows us to get rid of the DIRTY_CONFIG flag,

rt2x00 will only perform configuration changes from
mac80211 when the configuration option has changed.
This means it keeps track of the current active configuration
and will check these values when the config() callback function
is used.
However this causes breakage when the interface has been
brought down and up again, since all stored active values
aren't reset while the registers might have.
This is for example the case with rt61pci antenna registers which
will jump to invalid values when the interface has been started.
To make sure a full configuration takes place after the start()
callback function, a new flag is added which will be checked
during config() and skips the "what's changed" phase.

This fixes a circular locking dependency in the workqueue handling.
The interface work task uses the mac80211 function
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() which grabs the RTNL lock.
However when the interface is brough down, this happens under the RTNL
lock as well, this causes problems because mac80211 will flush the workqueue
during the ifdown event. This causes mac80211 to wait until the driver has
completed all work which can't finish because it is waiting on the RTNL lock.
This is fixed by moving rt2x00 workqueue tasks on a different workqueue,
this workqueue can be flushed when the ieee80211_hw structure is removed
by the driver (when the driver is unloaded) which does not happen under the
RTNL lock.

Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() up into a TX descriptor initializor
and TX descriptor writer.
This split is required to properly allow mac80211 to move its
tx_control structure into the skb->cb array.
The rt2x00queue_create_tx_descriptor() function will read all tx control
information and convert it into a rt2x00 TX descriptor information structure.
After that function is complete, we have all information we needed from the
tx control structure and are free to start writing into the skb->cb array
for our own purposes.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_descriptor() will be in charge of really sending
the TX descriptor to the hardware and kicking the TX queue.

With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.
The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.
Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
inside a mac80211 structure.

The tx_status enumeration was broken since the introduction
of rt61pci. That driver uses different values to report the
status of the tx action.
This would lead to frames that were reported as success but
actually failed to be send out, or frames that were neither
successfull or failure which were reported as failure.
Fix this by change the TX status reporting and more explicitely
check for failure or success. Note that a third possibility is
added "unknown". Not all hardware (USB) can report the actual
TX status, for rt61pci some frames will receive this status
because the TXdone handler is never called for those frames.
This unknown will now be handled as neither success or failure,
so we no longer increment the failure counter while this conclusion
could not be determined from the real status of the frame.

trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

Some hardware never seem to accept the "goto sleep" command, since the legacy
drivers don't have suspend and resume handlers the entire code for it was
basically a educated guess (based on the "enable radio" code).
This patch will only print a warning when the "goto sleep" command fails, and
just continues as usual. Perhaps that means the device will not reach a sleep
state and consumes more power then it should, but it is equally possible it
simply needs some seconds longer to sleep. Anyway, by making the command
non-fatal it will not block the rest of the suspend procedure.

It has been observed on rt2500pci hardware that some
frames received with signal 0x0C do not have the OFDM
flag set.
Signals can have 2 meanings:
1) The PLCP value
2) The bitrate * 10
For rt2500pci (1) is for frames received with a OFDM rate,
and (2) is for frames received with a CCK rate.
But 0x0C is a invalid bitrate value but is a valid PLCP
value for 54Mbs (obvious OFDM rate).
This means that it is possible that the hardware does not
set the OFDM bit correctly under all circumstances.
This results in rt2x00 failing to detect the rate and
mac80211 triggering a WARN_ON() and dropping the frame.
To bypass this, print a warning when such a frame is received,
and reset the rate to the lowest supported rate for the current band.

After sampling hundreds of RX frame descriptors,
the results were conclusive:
- The Ralink documentation regarding the SIGNAL and RSSI are wrong.
It turns out that of the 5 BBR registers, we should not use BBR0 and BBR1
for SIGNAL and RSSI respectively, but actually BBR1 and BBR2.
BBR0 does show values, but the exact meaning remains unclear,
but they cannot be translated into a SIGNAL or RSSI field.
BBR3, BBR4 and BBR5 are always 0, so their meaning is unknown.
As it turns out, the reported SIGNAL is the PLCP value, this
in contradiction to what was expected looking at rt2500pci which
only reported the PLCP values for OFDM rates and bitrate values
for CCK rates.
This means we should let the driver raise the flag about the contents
of the SIGNAL field so rt2x00lib can always do the right thing based
on what the driver reports.

Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.
Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.
Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
will be very unlikely.
Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
mode interfaces are currently active.
The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
often called together since they all belong to the interface
configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
the configuration handler as well.

This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
renames "ring" to "queues".
Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.
Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
system of the queue.
Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
code readability.
rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
structure.
rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.

This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following

* drivers are notified of their association AID
* drivers are notified of association status

The packet filter flags don't belong in the interface structure
because they are device based instead of interface based.
So move the filter fields out of struct interface and into rt2x00_dev.
Additionally we shouldn't change the filter based on the working
mode, if such a thing is needed than mac80211 should have done that.

Move the start and stop handlers into rt2x00lib.c which are called

the DEVICE_PRESENT flag, while suspend and resume handlers can

Restrict rssi average updating to beacon frames of the bssid the
interface is
associated with. Without this restriction, strong signals belonging to other
BSS, e.g. beacon frames coming from a nearby AP, would cause incorrectly high
rssi approximation values. This would then cause the link tuner to reduce
sensitivity, resulting in transmissions from the BSS associated to to be
missed.

are send to debugfs as well along with additional information

should be used _and_ that this default setup is SW_DIVERSITY.
This requires sampling and storing the RSSI per antenna

mac80211 has 3 values for the antenna setup:
0 - default
1 - use antenna 1
2 - use antenna 2
This means that rt2x00 should store the default value
from the EEPROM somwhere and use that when mac80211 indicates
that the antenna setup is 0.
This also implies that rt2x00 should no longer write the
hw->config.antenna_sel_* values based on the EEPROM input.
This also adds the basis in rt2x00lib for correct software
diversity handling. By default rt2x00lib will now configure
antenna B instead of hardware diversity.

Reorganize configuration handling by creating a extra
structure which contains precalculated values based
on the mac80211 values which are usefull for all
individual drivers.
This also fixes the preamble configuration problem,
up untill now preamble was never configured since
by default the rate->val value was used when changing
the mode.
Now rate->val will only be used to set the basic rate mask.
The preamble configuration will now be done correctly
through the erp_ie_changed callback function.

As reported by Modestas Vainius, enabling rkfill in 1 driver and
disabling it in a second could cause a NULL pointer exception when
the rfkill-disabled driver still sets the CONFIG_SUPPORT_HW_BUTTON flag.
Furthermore, rfkill expects the timeout as a value in milliseconds
instead of jiffies. Also increase the timeout to a second,
since this 250ms would be overkill.
Also the flag DEVICE_ENABLED_RADIO_HW is causing problems
for devices which do not support the hardware button
while rfkill is enabled in the driver.
To remidy this we should inverse the flag and its meaning,
rename the flag to DEVICE_DISABLED_RADIO_HW this means that
by default the radio is enabled by the hardware button (if present)
and can only be disabled explicitely.

We shouldn't use changed_flags when configuring the packet filter,
we work directly with the total_flags which is safe enough since
we already check if something has changed after we applied our
packet filtering flag rules.
Also make sure that when the packet filter is scheduled, the
rt2x00dev->interface.filter is cleared to make sure the drivers
will update the packet filter instead of failing at the check:
*total_flags == rt2x00dev->interface.filter

As pointed out by Modestas Vainius the link tuner
could continue working while the radio is already
down. This because at the start of disable_radio
the ENABLED_RADIO flag is cleared and causes the
toggle_rx to skip the stop_link_tuner() call.
This will add a check to the start of the link tuner
which will automatically stop the link tuner when the
radio is disabled.

Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.
This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
FIF_ALLMULTI.
Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that
have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast
frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or
when the mc_count value is positive.
At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().
The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to all-ones.
