4620fefa59 iwlagn: use mutex for aggregation
Now that the ampdu_action callback can sleep,
we can use the mutex to properly protect the
aggregation data, and return useful errors if
they should happen.

Also, add some sleep and mutex debugging so
we won't call any of the functions that now
require being able to sleep and/or the mutex
to be held in an invalid context.

0e1654fa2b iwlwifi: generic scan TX antenna forcing
In "iwlwifi: make scan antenna forcing more generic"
I introduced generic scan RX antenna forcing, which
here I rename to make it more evident. Also add scan
TX antenna forcing, since I will need that as well.

ff0d91c3ee iwlwifi: reduce memory allocation
Currently, the driver allocates up to 19 skb pointers
for each TFD, of which we have 256 per queue. This
means that for each TX queue, we allocate 19k/38k
(an order 4 or 5 allocation on 32/64 bit respectively)
just for each queue's "txb" array, which contains only
the SKB pointers.

However, due to the way we use these pointers only the
first one can ever be assigned. When the driver was
initially written, the idea was that it could be
passed multiple SKBs for each TFD and attach all
those to implement gather DMA. However, due to
constraints in the userspace API and lack of TCP/IP
level checksumming in the device, this is in fact not
possible. And even if it were, the SKBs would be
chained, and we wouldn't need to keep pointers to
each anyway.

Change this to only keep track of one SKB per TFD,
and thereby reduce memory consumption to just one
pointer per TFD, which is an order 0 allocation per
transmit queue.

Move the ucode beacon formation related helper function from 3945 to

9c5ac091b2 iwlwifi: fix and add missing sta_lock usage
There are a few places where sta_lock is used, but the
station information protected by it is accessed outside
of the lock. Address this in two ways, if the access
won't sleep then just move the access into the lock, if
the access can sleep then copy the needed station
information to the stack to be accessed without risk of
it changing while access in progress.

Additionally, a number of other places access station
station information without holding the sta_lock, fix
those as well.

2c810ccdba iwlwifi: rework broadcast station management
Currently, the broadcast station is managed along
with the interface type, rather than always being
present. That leads to a bug with injection -- it
is currently not possible to inject frames when
the only virtual interface is a monitor, because
in that the required broadcast station is missing.

Additionally, allocating and deallocating the
broadcast station's LQ all the time is wasteful,
and the code to support this is fairly complex.

So this changes completely the way we manage the
broadcast station. Rather than manage it along
with any interface, we now allocate it when we
bring the device up, and remove it again when we
bring the device down. When we bring the device
up, we don't immediately program the broadcast
station into it, instead we just mark it active
and rely on the next restore cycle to upload it
to the device. This works because an unassociated
RXON is always required at least once to set up
device parameters, which implies a reprogramming
of stations into the device.

As we now manage all stations properly, there no
longer is a need for forcing a clearing of them
via iwl_clear_ucode_stations(), which can become
a lot simpler.

Based on the type of errors being detected, different recovery methods
will be used to bring the system back to normal operational state.

Because different NIC has different HW and uCode, the behavior is also
different; these functions thus now form part of the ops infrastructure,
so we can have more control on how to monitor and recover from error condition
case per device.

edc1a3a090 iwlwifi: clean up queue/fifo handling
4965 hardware has 7 queues reserved and the
remaining ones used for aggregation, 5000
and higher need to have 10 reserved. This
is not very clear in the code right now,
unfortunately.

Introduce a new IWL_TX_FIFO_UNUSED constant
and make the queue/FIFO mapping arrays able
to hold that value, and change the setup
code to reserve all queues in the arrays
(the queue number is the index) and use the
new unused constant to not map those queues
to any FIFO.

Additionally, clear up the AC/queue mapping
code to be more understandable. The mapping
is the identity mapping right now, but with
the mapping function I think it's easier to
understand what happens there.

Finally, HCCA isn't implemented at all and
I think newer microcode removed it, so let's
remove all mention of it in the code, some
comments remain for 4965.

a9e10fb9b1 iwlwifi: clear all the stop_queue flag after load firmware
All the queues are awake and ready to use after loading firmware,
for firmware reload case, if any queues was stopped before
reload, mac80211 will wake those queues after restart hardware, so make
sure all the flag used to keep track of the queue status are
reset correctly.

3459ab5a1c iwlwifi: make broadcast station addition generic
Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it
in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and
iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add
that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality
resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code
reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This
seems to be an efficient solution.

It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945
broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since
the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always
set.

3e4fb5faef iwlwifi: Tune radio to prevent unexpected behavior
We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment
and the radio is out of tune.  There are lot of plcp errors indicating
this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the
Access Point.  By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are
reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise.

To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication,
- The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on
the statistics notification from the uCode.
- It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via
the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.
