Fix up conflicts in net/core/dev.c, drivers/net/pcmcia/smc91c92_cs.c and
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/debug.c as per David
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

- WiFi Channel Inhibition Request is hornored by BT Core
Currently, there is no antenna coupling information provided by uCode;
use module parameter to specified the antenna coupling in dB.
When in "full concurrency" mode, driver need to download different LUT
to uCode while sending bt configuration command; also, driver need to

Depending on the amount of bluetooth traffic,
using the shared antenna (antenna B) will have
adverse impact on both bluetooth and wireless
traffic. Add controls to improve the situation
by making rate scaling depend on the BT load.
When there's high bluetooth traffic load, there's
little point in trying to aggregate as BT traffic
would disrupt the aggregated frames all the time,
so simply don't start sessions then.
When BT traffic returns to lower levels, the rate
scaling will come here again automatically when
wifi traffic is high enough, and then it will be
able to successfully enable aggregation.

The TX status code is currently abusing the ampdu_ack_map field (a bitmap) to
count the number of successfully received frames. The comments in mac80211.h
show there are actually three different, relevant variables, of which we are
currently using two, both incorrectly. Fix this by making
- ampdu_ack_len -> the number of ACKed frames (i.e. successes)
- ampdu_ack_map -> the bitmap
- ampdu_len -> the total number of frames sent (i.e., attempts)
to match the header file (and verified with ath9k's usage) and updating Intel's

When collecting tx data for non-aggregation packets in rate scaling, if
the tx data matches "other table", it still uses current table to update
the stats and calculate average throughput in function rs_collect_tx_data().
This can mess up the rate scaling data structure and cause a kernel panic
in a BUG_ON statement in rs_rate_scale_perform().
To fix this bug, we pass table pointer instead of window pointer (pointed
to by table pointer) to function rs_collect_tx_data() so that the table

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.

of the declaration specifiers in a declaration is an obsolescent
feature.

The entire aggregation code currently operates on the
hw pointer and station addresses, but that needs to
change to make stations purely per-vif; As one step
preparing for that make the aggregation code callable
with the station, or by the combination of virtual
interface and station address.

This fits better in how the callbacks operate (alloc does allocation and
init does initialization). This also helps if we later want to do our own
initialization without relying on the mac80211 allocation.

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.

Multiple MPDUs can be aggregated, transmitted, and finally acknowledged
together using a single BA frame. Block ACK (BA) contains
bitmap size of 64*16 bits so the maximum frame count is 64.
The default value of aggregation frame count suggested by uCode is 31 to
achieve best performance.

Current rate scale algorithm fluctuates between different MIMO modes fairly
rapidly, causing widely varying performance. These fluctuations occur because in
the rate_scale tables for expected throughput the values are not very different
for different modes.
However, when aggregation is turned on and MAC overhead is reduced, the
expected throughput for different MIMO modes grows and different modes have
vastly different performance. Add expected throughput tables for this case.
We also need to keep track of aggregation status per-station, so we add the
"is_agg" field to struct lq_sta.
Also includes cleanup of comments and variable names in/around the affected
code.

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.

Daniel Halperin pointed out that the naming
here is rather inconsistent with at least 3
different names being used for one thing in
different contexts. Rename the struct to
iwl_ht_config (rather than iwl_ht_info) and
use ht_conf as a variable for it.
