commit ed66ba472a742cd8df37d7072804b2111cdb1014 upstream.
The generic powersaving code that determines after reception of a frame
whether the device should go back to sleep or whether is could stay
awake was calling rt2x00lib_config directly from RX tasklet context.
On a number of the devices this call can actually sleep, due to having
to confirm that the sleeping commands have been executed successfully.
Fix this by moving the call to rt2x00lib_config to a workqueue call.
This fixes bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731672

The USB drivers don't support automatically waking up when in powersaving mode,
add a work object which will wakeup the device in time to receive the next beacon.
Based on that beacon, we either go back into powersaving mode, or we remain awake
to receive the buffered frames for our station.
Some part of the code, especially rt2x00lib_find_ie and rt2x00lib_rxdone_check_ps
are inspired on the code from carl9170.

Implement the get_antenna and set_antenna callback functions, which will
allow clients to control the antenna for all non-11n hardware (Antenna handling
in rt2800 is still a bit magical, so we can't use the set_antenna for those drivers
yet).
To best support the set_antenna callback some modifications are needed in the
diversity handling. We should never look at the default antenna settings to determine
if software diversity is enabled. Instead we should set the diversity flag when
possible, which will allow the link_tuner to automatically pick up the tuning.

When powersaving is enabled, assocaition times are very high
(for WPA2 networks, the time can easily be around the 3 seconds).
This is caused, because the flushing of the queues takes
too much time. Without the flushing callback mac80211 assumes
a timeout of 100ms while scanning. Limit all flush waiting
loops to the same maximum.
We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the
driver, which makes sure the driver performs extra actions
during the waiting for the queue to become empty.
After these changes, association times fall within the
healthy range of ~0.6 seconds with powersaving enabled.
The difference between association time between powersaving
enabled and disabled is now only ~0.1 second (which can also
be due to the measuring method).

TX status is reported by the hardware when a packet has been
sent (or after TX failed after possible retries), which is some
time after the DMA completion. Since the rt2800usb hardware can
not signal interrupts we have to use a timer, otherwise the
TX status would only be read by the next packet's TX DMA
completion, or by the watchdog thread.

Trying to fix the "TX status report missed" warnings
by reading the TX_STA_FIFO entries as quickly as possible.
The TX_STA_FIFO is too small in hardware, thus reading
it only from the workqueue is too slow and entries get lost.
Start an asynchronous read of the TX_STA_FIFO directly from
the TX URB completion callback (atomic context, thus it cannot
use the blocking rt2800_register_read()). If the async
read returns a valid FIFO entry, it is pushed into a larger
FIFO inside struct rt2x00_dev, until rt2800_txdone() picks
it up.
A .tx_dma_done callback is added to struct rt2x00lib_ops
to trigger the async read from the URB completion callback.

The number of flags defined for the rt2x00dev->flags field,
has been growing over the years. Currently we are approaching
the maximum number of bits which are available in the field.
A secondary problem, is that one part of the field are initialized only
during boot, because the driver requirements are initialized or device
requirements are loaded from the EEPROM. In both cases, the flags are
fixed and will not change during device operation. The other flags are
the device state, and will change frequently. So far this resulted in the fact
that for some flags, the atomic bit accessors are used, while for the others
the non-atomic variants are used.
By splitting the flags up into a "flags" and "cap_flags" we can put all flags
which are fixed inside "cap_flags". This field can then be read non-atomically.
In the "flags" field we keep the device state, which is going to be read atomically.
This adds more room for more flags in the future, and sanitizes the field access methods.

rt2800 devices should adjust their tx power in accordance with the
eeproms temperature calibration values. Add a new driver callback
gain_calibration that is called every 4 seconds.
The rt2800 gain calibration routine simply runs the tx power
configuration that takes care of calculating the temperature
compensation delta.
We don't need to synchronize the calls to rt2800_config_txpower
as they should all happen from mac80211's single threaded workqueue.

Optimize the tx desciptor memory layout by putting the PLCP and HT
substructs into a union and introduce a new driver flag to decide which
TX desciptor format is used by the device.
This saves us the expensive PLCP calculation fOr HT devices and the HT

In some cases (tx path for example) we don't need to check for non-tx
queues in rt2x00queue_get_queue. Hence, introduce a new method
rt2x00queue_get_tx_queue that is only valid for tx queues and use it in
places where only tx queues are valid.
Furthermore, this new method is quite short and as such can be inlined
to avoid the function call overhead.
This only converts the txdone functions of drivers that don't use an ATIM
queue and the generic tx path.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

The TX/RX work structures must be able to run independently
of other workqueues. This is because mac80211 might use
the flush() callback function from various context, which depends
on the TX/RX work to complete while the main thread is blocked
(until the the TX queues are empty).
This should reduce the number of 'Queue %d failed to flush' warnings.

This patch allows to dynamically remove beaconing interfaces without
shutting beaconing down on all interfaces.
The only place to start and stop beaconing are now the start- and
stop_queue callbacks. Hence, we can remove some register writes during
interface bring up (config_intf) and only write the correct sync mode
to the register there.
When multiple beaconing interfaces are present we should enable
beaconing as soon as mac80211 enables beaconing on at least one of
them. The beacon queue gets stopped when the last beaconing
interface was stopped by mac80211. Therefore, introduce another
interface counter to keep track ot the number of enabled beaconing
interfaces and start or stop the beacon queue accordingly.
To allow single interfaces to stop beaconing, add a new driver
callback clear_beacon to clear a single interface's beacon without
affecting the other interfaces. Don't overload the clear_entry callback
for clearing beacons as that would introduce additional overhead
(check for each TX queue) into the clear_entry callback which is used
on the drivers TX/RX hotpaths.
Furthermore, the write beacon callback doesn't need to enable beaconing
anymore but since beaconing should be disabled while a new beacon is
written or cleared we still disable beacon generation and enable it
afterwards again in the driver specific callbacks. However, beacon
related interrupts should not be disabled/enabled here, that's solely
done from the start- and stop queue callbacks. It would be nice to stop
the beacon queue just before the beacon update and enable it afterwards
in rt2x00queue itself instead of the current implementation that relies
on the driver doing the right thing. However, since start- and
stop_queue are mutex protected we cannot use them for atomic beacon
updates.

The watchdog function must run on a work_queue
which is independent of any other work inside rt2x00.
The main reasons, being that a broken work on the mac80211
work_queue can otherwise prevent the watchdog to run (while
in fact the watchdog could fix the issue). And on the other
hand because the watchdog relies on the completion of the
completion handlers for RX/TX which for the USB case, occur
on the mac80211 workqueue.
This fixes some "Queue %d failed to flush" errors, which were
caused by the watchdog function waiting on the completion
handler which was scheduled to run right after the watchdog.

A lot of functions accept a struct rt2x00_dev combined with
either a struct queue_entry or struct data_queue argument.
This can be simplified by only passing on the queue/entry
argument.
In cases where rt2x00_dev and a sk_buff are send together,
we can send the queue_entry instead.
rt2x00usb_alloc_urb and rt2x00usb_free_urb have a bit
of vague naming. Instead they allocate all the data which
belongs to a rt2x00 data queue entry.

This patch changes the way tx status reports are handled by rt2800pci.
Previously rt2800pci would sometimes lose tx status reports as the
TX_STA_FIFO register is a fifo of 16 entries that can overflow in case
we don't read it often/fast enough. Since interrupts are disabled in the
device during the execution of the interrupt thread it happend sometimes
under high network and CPU load that processing took too long and a few
tx status reports were dropped by the hw.
To fix this issue the TX_STA_FIFO register is read directly in the
interrupt handler and stored in a kfifo which is large enough to hold
all status reports of all used tx queues.
To process the status reports a new tasklet txstatus_tasklet is used.
Using the already used interrupt thread is not possible since we don't
want to disable the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt while processing them and
it is not possible to schedule the interrupt thread multiple times for
execution. A tasklet instead can be scheduled multiple times which
allows to leave the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt enabled while a previously
scheduled tasklet is still executing.
In short: All other interrupts are handled in the interrupt thread as
before. Only the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt is partly handled in the
interrupt handler and finished in the according tasklet.
One drawback of this patch is that it duplicates some code from
rt2800lib. However, that can be cleaned up in the future once the
rt2800usb and rt2800pci tx status handling converge more.
Using this patch on a Ralink RT3052 embedded board gives me a reliable
wireless connection even under high CPU and network load. I've
transferred several gigabytes without any queue lockups.

Previously rt2x00 was always updating all erp related config variables
even though mac80211 might only have changed one. Hence, pass the
changed flags to the config_erp driver callback so that the driver
can limit the changes to the correct values.
This fixes an issue in AP mode where the beacon interval is not

The watchdog for rt2800usb triggers frequently causing all URB's
to be canceled often enough to interrupt the normal TX flow.
More research indicated that not the URB upload to the USB host
were hanging, but instead the TX status reports.
To correctly detect what is going on, we introduce Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE
which is an index counter between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX and indicates
if the frame has been transfered to the device.
This also requires the rt2x00queue timeout functions to be updated
to differentiate between a DMA timeout (time between Q_INDEX and
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE timeout) and a STATUS timeout (time between
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE and Q_INDEX_DONE timeout)
All Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE code was taken from the RFC from
Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> for the implementation
for watchdog for rt2800pci.

During initialization each driver reads the default TX power
for each individual channel. However mac80211 only accepts the
maximum value (which is also handled as default value).
As a result, the TX power of the device was being limited to
the default value, which is often quite low compared to the
real maximum acceptable value.
This patch allows each driver to set the maximum value on a
per-channel basis which is forwarded to mac80211. The default
value will be preserved for now, in case we want to update
mac80211 to differentiate between the maximum and default txpower.
This fixes bug complaining about limited TX power values like:
