Johannes Berg b6e4c55aae iwlwifi: trigger scan synchronously
Scan requesting doesn't need to be asynchronous
since all code paths leading up to it can sleep.
Make the scan request a new util operation that
is hw-specific (to account for 3945 vs. agn)
and call it right in place.

This patch moves a lot of code into iwlagn as
it need not be in iwlcore.

Johannes Berg 88be026490 iwlwifi: fix scan races
When an internal scan is started, nothing protects the
is_internal_short_scan variable which can cause crashes,
cf. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15667.
Fix this by making the short scan request use the mutex
for locking, which requires making the request go to a
work struct so that it can sleep.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking 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.

Reinette Chatre 1382c71c76 Revert "iwlwifi: Send broadcast probe request only when asked to"
This reverts commit 21b2d8bd2f.

As explained by Johannes:
When we
build a probe request frame in the buffer with the SSID, we could
arrive over the limit of 200 bytes. When we build it in the buffer
without the SSID (wildcard) we don't arrive over 200 bytes, but the
ucode still allows direct probe in addition because it has an internal
buffer that is larger when it inserts the SSID...

Reinette Chatre bbcbb9ef97 iwlwifi: fix scan race
There is a problem if an "internal short scan" is in progress when a
mac80211 requested scan arrives. If this new scan request arrives within
the "next_scan_jiffies" period then driver will immediately return success
and complete the scan. The problem here is that the scan has not been
fully initialized at this time (is_internal_short_scan is still set to true
because of the currently running scan), which results in the scan
completion never to be sent to mac80211. At this time also, evan though the
internal short scan is still running the state (is_internal_short_scan)
will be set to false, so when the internal scan does complete then mac80211
will receive a scan completion.

Fix this by checking right away if a scan is in progress when a scan
request arrives from mac80211.

Samuel Ortiz 21b2d8bd2f iwlwifi: Send broadcast probe request only when asked to
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.

Henry Zhangh 220575f78f iwlwifi: Fix A band scanning when associated
This patch allows A band to be scanned when driver is associated to AP.
Scan mechanism is that mac80211/cfg80211 requests driver to scan G band
first and then immediately to scan A band. Original code require
driver to wait for 2 seconds after any scan before another scan will be
performed. This caused driver to service G band scan request from
mac80211/cfg80211 but deny the A band scan request.

Wey-Yi Guy afbdd69af0 iwlwifi: add function to reset/tune radio if needed
Adding "radio reset" function to help reset and stabilize the radio.

During normal operation, sometime for unknown reason, radio encounter
problem and can not recover by itself; the best way to
recover from it is to reset and re-tune the radio. Currently, there is
no RF reset command available, but since radio will get reset when
switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio
reset and get back to normal operation state.

The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first
available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The
request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is
not in associated state.

Also include an "internal_scan" debugfs file to help trigger the
internal scan from user mode.

Zhu Yi 2f301227a1 iwlwifi: use paged Rx
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.

Johannes Berg c2acea8e9b iwlwifi: fix up command sending
The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess:
 1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver
    and device data in a single packed structure -- this
    is very confusing
 2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a
    structure by embedding the latter in the former, which
    is also rather confusing because it leads to weird
    unions and similarly odd constructs
 3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands,
    even if only 32 end up being used

This patch fixes these things:
 1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of
    command metadata and device command separately, in
    two arrays in each tx queue
 2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only
    put in the required members
 3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of
    embedding them into the txq structure

Reinette Chatre fbc9f97bbf iwlwifi: do not cancel delayed work inside spin_lock_irqsave
Calling cancel_delayed_work() from inside
spin_lock_irqsave, introduces a potential deadlock.

As explained by Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

A - lock
T - timer

phase                   CPU 1           CPU 2
---------------------------------------------

some place that calls
cancel_timer_sync()
(which is the | code)
                                        lock-irq(A)
|                                       "lock-irq"(T)
|                                       "unlock"(T)
|                                       wait(T)
                                        unlock(A)

timer softirq
                        "lock"(T)
                        run(T)
                        "unlock"(T)

irq handler
          lock(A)
          unlock(A)

Now all that again, interleaved, leading to deadlock:

                                        lock-irq(A)
                        "lock"(T)
                         run(T)
IRQ during or maybe
before run(T) -->        lock(A)
                                        "lock-irq"(T)
                                        wait(T)

We fix this by moving the call to cancel_delayed_work() into workqueue.
There are cases where the work may not actually be queued or running
at the time we are trying to cancel it, but cancel_delayed_work() is
able to deal with this.

Also cleanup iwl_set_mode related to this call. This function
(iwl_set_mode) is only called when bringing interface up and there will
thus not be any scanning done. No need to try to cancel scanning.

Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13224, which was also
reported at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124081921903223&w=2 .

Under certain circumstances iwlwifi can get stuck and will no

points where it can happen, but I've still seen it (although
only with my radio-off-when-idle patch).

This patch clean up the code for NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR mode,
