2011-11-11iwlagn: do not use interruptible waitsJohannes Berg
Upstream commit effd4d9aece9184f526e6556786a94d335e38b71. Since the dawn of its time, iwlwifi has used interruptible waits to wait for synchronous commands and firmware loading. This leads to "interesting" bugs, because it can't actually handle the interruptions; for example when a command sending is interrupted it will assume the command completed fully, and then leave it pending, which leads to all kinds of trouble when the command finishes later. Since there's no easy way to gracefully deal with interruptions, fix the driver to not use interruptible waits. This at least fixes the error iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Error: Response NULL in 'REPLY_SCAN_ABORT_CMD' I have seen in P2P testing, but it is likely that there are other errors caused by this.

2011-06-03iwlagn: fix channel switch lockingStanislaw Gruszka
We use priv->mutex to avoid race conditions between iwl_chswitch_done() and iwlagn_mac_channel_switch(), when marking channel switch in progress. But iwl_chswitch_done() can be called in atomic context from iwl_rx_csa() or with mutex already taken from iwlagn_commit_rxon(). These bugs were introduced by: commit 79d07325502e73508f917475bc1617b60979dd94 Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Date: Thu May 6 08:54:11 2010 -0700 iwlwifi: support channel switch offload in driver To fix remove mutex from iwl_chswitch_done() and use atomic bitops for marking channel switch pending. Also remove iwl2030_hw_channel_switch() since 2000 series adapters are 2.4GHz only devices.

2011-04-22iwlagn: implement synchronous firmware loadJohannes Berg
The current firmware loading mechanism in iwlwifi is very hard to follow, and thus hard to maintain. To make it easier, make the firmware loading synchronous. For now, as a side effect, this removes a number of retry possibilities we had. It isn't typical for this to fail, but if it does happen we restart from scratch which this also makes easier to do should it be necessary.

2011-04-08iwlagn: clean up & autodetect statisticsJohannes Berg
There's no need to keep both normal and BT statistics versions around all the time in memory when we only use a subset of both. So keep only the subsets that we need in memory, depending on the debug config). Also, in doing so, we can remove all the calls to iwl_bt_statistics() in the driver as we'll just access the copied statistics now. Finally, also remove this call from the one place where it might still be needed and automatically detect what kind of statistics the device is sending based on their size. This way, we don't need to keep track of which devices do what any more, which is good since this is subject to change based on the ucode version (as some ucode even for non-BT devices will in fact use BT statistics). Warn upon encountering a statistics command from the ucode that isn't known, so we will find such issues earlier in the future.

2011-04-08iwlagn: fix radar frame rejectionGaren Tamrazian
The microcode may sometimes reject TX frames when on a radar channel even after we associated as it clears information during association and needs to receive a new beacon before allowing that channel again. This manifests itself as a TX status value of TX_STATUS_FAIL_PASSIVE_NO_RX. So in this case, stop the corresponding queue and give the frame back to mac80211 for retransmission. We start the queue again when a beacon from the AP is received which will make the regulatory enforcement in the device allow transmitting again.

2011-04-07iwlagn: clean up alive handlingJohannes Berg
Devices newer than 4965 don't actually send two different versions of the ALIVE command, so we always had a bug here since before this patch we copy more data than we got. Remove the iwl_init_alive_resp struct and don't use it. Since we also really don't need to track all the data received in ALIVE as we only use the error and log event tables later, we can also save space by just keeping those and not more data around in memory.

2011-03-04iwlwifi: avoid too frequent recover from statisticsStanislaw Gruszka
Usually H/W generate statistics notify once per about 100ms, but sometimes we can receive notify in shorter time, even 2 ms. This can be problem for plcp health and ack health checking. I.e. with 2 plcp errors happens randomly in 2 ms duration, we exceed plcp delta threshold equal to 100 (2*100/2). Also checking ack's in short time, can results not necessary false positive and firmware reset, for example when channel is noised and we do not receive ACKs frames or when remote device does not send ACKs at the moment. Patch change code to do statistic check and possible recovery only if 99ms elapsed from last check. Forced delay should assure we have good statistic data to estimate hardware state.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h 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.

2010-03-09iwlagn: remove write-only variablesJohannes Berg
Updating the variables last_rx_rssi, last_tsf and last_beacon_time needs a lot of code but they are not actually used in iwlagn (only in 3945) so we can move them to the 3945 specific data.
