Since we now store the station ID in each station
struct, many places need not look at the station
table any more since they can just pull the station
ID out of the struct. Remove iwl_get_sta_id() and
use iwl_sta_id() instead as appropriate.
This reduces the amount of code needed to find the

mac80211 passes the station only after it has been

the addition is complete.

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.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.
This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change
this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211.
With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always
present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is
sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after
such an RXON command is sent.
We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station
table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios:
- only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC
bit is sent
- clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed.
We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the
device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but
do add the interface during reconfiguration.
Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is
cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys
are set and cleared correctly.
There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP
without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is
because of the lack of full station notification support and the later
patches in this series that complete the station notification support will
fix this.

At the wireless summit in Portland we discussed a way of
loading firmware asynchronously from ->probe() before
registration to mac80211, in order to register with the
wireless subsystems with complete information in cases
where firmware is required to know parameters.
This is not yet the case in iwlwifi, but for some new
features we're working on it will be the case since
those will only be supported by new firmware images.
Hence, to start with, convert iwlwifi to load firmware
asynchronously from probe, unbinding the device when
firmware loading fails, and only registering with the
wireless subsystems after firmware has been loaded
successfully.
Future patches will hook into this to register the
new firmware capabilities, depending on the firmware

This reverts commit 1db5950f1d.
The goal of "iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure"
is to first detect when data transmission stalls and then to recover from
this situation with a reset of the radio or the firmware, depending on how
bad the transmission failures are.
Unfortunately we have found that this change causes excessive resets with
its current detection algorithm. It also performs its recovery action when
none is really needed, like when we are not associated.
Revert this change until the issues have been addressed.

Until now it was only possible to have one synchronous command running at
any time. If a synchronous command is in progress when a second request
arrives then the second command will fail. Create a new mutex specific for
this purpose to only allow one synchronous command at a time, but enable
other commands to wait instead of fail if a synchronous command is in
progress.

This change monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the expected_
ack_count also drops. At the same time, the aggregated ba_timeout (the number
of ba timeout retries) also rises. If the actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count
ratio is 0 and the number of ba timeout retries rises to 16, no tx packets
(tcp, udp, or ping - icmp) can be delivered. The driver recovers from this
situation by reseting the uCode firmware. If the actual_ack_count/expected_
ack_count ratio drops below 50% (but not 0) and the aggregated ba_timeout
retries just exceed 5 (but not 16), then the driver can reset the radio to
bring the throughput up.

To ensure that card is in a sane state during probe we add a reset call.
This change was prompted by users of kdump who was not able to bring up the
wireless driver in the kdump kernel. The problem here was that the primary
kernel, which is not running at the time, left the wireless card up and
running. When the kdump kernel starts it is thus possible to immediately
receive interrupts from firmware after registering interrupt, but without
being ready to deal with interrupts from firmware yet.

When running directed active scans we currently end up sending both the SSID
probe requests and an additional broadcast one.
This is due to the fact that we always leave the probe request template SSID IE
length to 0. Instead we should set it to the first SSID to scan, and fill the
direct_scan array with the remaining SSIDs to scan for. This way we only send
what we've been asked to: a broadcast probe request when no directed scan is
requested, and directed probe requests otherwise.

In iwlagn the support for spectrum measurement command has been
disabled since v2.6.29 without any requests for it. In addition to this
when this command is indeed enabled it has been found to trigger firmware
SYSASSERT on at least 4965 and 5100 hardware (see
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 ). Since then
this code has been bitrotting and cannot just be enabled without porting.
Remove support for spectrum measurement command from iwlagn. It can be
added back if there is a future need and the firmware problem it triggers
has been fixed. Support for the spectrim measurement notification remains
as it has been enabled all the time.
In addition to this remove the 3945 spectrum measurement command Kconfig
option and make this command always supported. The code added by this
enabling is minimal and only run when user triggers a spectrum measurement
request via sysfs.

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

In order to help uCode debugging, adding the capability to provide
continuous uCode event logging function.
uCode events is located in round-robin event queue and filled by uCode,
by enable continuous event logging, driver check the write pointer
and log the newly added events in iwl_bg_ucode_trace() timer function.
There is still possibility of missing events if event queue being
wrapped before next event dump; but with this capability, we can have
much better understanding of the uCode behavior during runtime; it can
help to debug the uCode related issues.
Methods to enable/disable the continuous event log:
step 1: enable ucode trace timer
"echo 1 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"
step 2: start ftrace
sudo ./trace-cmd record -e iwlwifi_ucode:* sleep 1d
step 3: stop ftrace
sudo ./trace-cmd report trace.dat
step 4: disable ucode trace timer
"echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"
use "ucode_tracing" debugfs file to display number of event
queue wrapped when driver attempt the continuous event logging. If event
queue being wrapped more than once when driver has opportunity to log
the event; it indicated there are events missing in the event log trace.
This continuous event log function only available for 4965 and newer
NICs.

CSR_INT_COALESCING previously had only one, but now has two single-byte fields.
With only one single-byte field (lowest order byte) it was okay to write via
iwl_write32(), but now with two, an iwl_write32() to the lower order field
clobbers the other field (odd-address CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG, offset 0x5), and an
iwl_write32() to CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG could clobber the lowest byte of the
next-higher register (CSR_INT, offset 0x8).
Fortunately, no bad side effects have been produced by the iwl_write32()
usage, due to order of execution (low order byte was always written before
higher order byte), and the fact that writing "0" to the low byte of the
next higher register has no effect (only action is when writing "1"s).
Nonetheless, this cleans up the accesses so no bad side effects might occur
in the future, if execution order changes, or more bit fields get added to
CSR_INT_COALESCING.
Add some comments regarding periodic interrupt usage.

Using the new mac80211 functionality, this makes
iwlwifi handle unicast PS buffering correctly.
The device works like this:
* when a station goes to sleep, the microcode notices
this and marks the station as asleep
* when the station is marked asleep, the microcode
refuses to transmit to the station and rejects all
frames queued to it with the failure status code
TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST_PS (a previous patch handled
this correctly)
* when we need to send frames to the station _although_
it is asleep, we need to tell the ucode how many,
and this is asynchronous with sending so we cannot
just send the frames, we need to wait for all other
frames to be flushed, and then update the counter
before sending out the poll response frames. This
is handled partially in the driver and partially in
mac80211.
In order to do all this correctly, we need to
* keep track of how many frames are pending for each
associated client station (avoid doing it for other
stations to avoid the atomic ops)
* tell mac80211 that we driver-block the PS status
while there are still frames pending on the queues,
and once they are all rejected (due to the dest sta
being in PS) unblock mac80211

When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.
The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.
When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.
By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.
For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

Spatial Multiplexing Power Save was disabled to achieve better
throughput while in power save mode by activating all the rx chains all the time.
By doing so, the device power consumption is high.
Enable static/dynamic spatial multiplexing power save if device support
it, which can lower the power consumption without impact throughput.

In preparation for some station management changes we split the addition of
a broadcast station from the other stations. Later we will rely on mac80211
to direct all management (addition/removal) of all stations except the
broadcast station.

Since iwlagn is the only user of these functions, move it to this module.
This results in a bit more code moving than just these functions since the
functions only used by them are also moved and we need to export the
symbols previously available to them directly.

Wakeup interrupt has been updating write pointers (indexes, actually) only
for tx queues 0-5. This is adequate just for 3945, but inadequate for other
devices, all of which have more tx queues. Now updating all tx/command queues,
so device can be aware of all new tx and host commands enqueued while
device was asleep.
This can potentially improve data traffic bandwidth and/or latency.

To save power, don't run apm_ops.init() until needed at "up" time.
EEPROM (5000 and earlier devices) may be read without running apm_ops.init(),
but OTP reads (6000 and newer devices) require a powered-up chip.
Therefore, remove apm_ops.init() from the general path in XXXX_pci_probe(),
and call it only if device uses OTP. Once done with OTP read, call
apm_ops.stop() to reset chip and save power until "up" time comes around.
NOTE: This patch depends on removal of priv->lock from iwl_apm_stop();
lock does not get initialized until later in flow. See patch
"remove unneeded locks from apm_stop()".

Add unconditional call to apm_ops.stop() to reset device to low power state
when unloading driver. Some paths have existed to unload driver *without*
resetting device, therefore some errors have persisted through multiple
load/unload cycles, until the whole platform gets rebooted; this is an
attempt to remedy some of those situations. Sorry, I can't seem to find
a bughost.org bug that specifically has these symptoms, but I had it happen
recently here.
Note that this will *not* fix situations in which the PCI express bus has
crashed (evidenced by register reads showing "0xffffffff"), e.g. bughost.org
1855 and 2096; device is unreachable from driver in those cases.

In the paged rx patch (4854fde2), I introduced a bug that could possibly
touch an already freed page. It is fixed by avoiding the access in this
patch. I've also added some comments so that other people touching the
code won't make the same mistake. In the future, if we cannot avoid
access the page after being handled to the upper layer, we can use
get_page/put_page to handle it. For now, it's just not necessary.
It also fixed a debug message print bug reported by Stanislaw Gruszka
<sgruszka@redhat.com>.

Currently mac80211 initializes the rate scaling before notifying the driver
of the station's existence. The driver dealt with this by not relying on
mac80211's station notifications and instead mixing this functionality with
the rate scaling code and other places. To clean this up the driver needs
to do rate scaling initialization after being notified of the station, this
can be done if the rate scaling information forms part of the station
information passed from mac80211 to driver.

This switches the iwlwifi driver to use paged skb from linear skb for Rx
buffer. So that it relieves some Rx buffer allocation pressure for the
memory subsystem. Currently iwlwifi (4K for 3945) requests 8K bytes for
Rx buffer. Due to the trailing skb_shared_info in the skb->data,
alloc_skb() will do the next order allocation, which is 16K bytes. This
is suboptimal and more likely to fail when the system is under memory
usage pressure. Switching to paged Rx skb lets us allocate the RXB
directly by alloc_pages(), so that only order 1 allocation is required.
It also adjusts the area spin_lock (with IRQ disabled) protected in the
tasklet because tasklet guarentees to run only on one CPU and the new
unprotected code can be preempted by the IRQ handler. This saves us from
spawning another workqueue to make skb_linearize/__pskb_pull_tail happy
(which cannot be called in hard irq context).
Finally, mac80211 doesn't support paged Rx yet. So we linearize the skb
for all the management frames and software decryption or defragmentation
required data frames before handed to mac80211. For all the other frames,
we __pskb_pull_tail 64 bytes in the linear area of the skb for mac80211
to handle them properly.

In some cases (e.g. when mac80211 calls iwl_mac_stop() for suspend or user
no longer wants device active), device has not been going into low power state
via __iwl_down(). apm_ops.reset() does not put device into low power state;
instead it resets the device, then puts it into a powered-up state ready to be
re-loaded with uCode and re-started. This has needlessly warmed up user's
laptops and drained batteries.
With current architecture in which mac80211 controls device up/down (including
resetting device after firmware errors), there is no need for apm_ops.reset()
any more; apm_ops.reset() is basically a combination of apm_ops.stop() and
apm_ops.init().
Instead, __iwl_down() now unconditionally places the device into a low-power
state via apm_ops.stop(). Device may be re-started via __iwl_up() calling
apm_ops.init() as soon as it may be needed (e.g. quickly for firmware errors),
but in the meantime, device will stop wasting energy.
Note that, even in this low power state, if driver re-enables interrupts,
the device retains the ability to sense the hardware RF-KILL switch, and
(except for 3945) interrupt the host when it changes.

The iwlwifi drivers have LED blinking requirements that
mac80211 cannot fulfill due to the use of just a single
LED instead of different ones for TX, RX, radio etc.
Instead, the single LED blinks according to transfers
and is solid on the rest of the time. As such, having
LED class devices registered that mac80211 triggers are
connected to is pointless as we don't use the triggers
anyway.
Remove all the useless code and add hooks into the
driver itself. At the same time, make the LED code
abstracted so the core code that determines blink rate
etc. can be shared between 3945 and agn in iwlcore.
At the same time, the fact that we removed the use of
the mac80211 LED triggers means we can also remove the
IWLWIFI_LEDS Kconfig symbol since the LED support is
now self-contained.
