John W. Linville da81dede95 rtl8180: adapt for deprecated IEEE80211_CONF_SHORT_SLOT_TIME flag
This updates rtl8180 handling for short slot after "mac80211: fix short
slot handling". Only rtl8180_rtl8225 actually had code for handling
short slot times, so the other RF devices are untouched by this change.

Ivo van Doorn 8ff48a8bbe rt2x00: Fix race condition when using inderect registers
Indirect registers require multiple calls to the CSR
register in order to access the indirect registers.
This must be protected under a lock to prevent race
conditions which could cause invalid data to
be returned when reading from the indirect register or silent
failures when writing data to the indirect register.

USB drivers where already protected under a mutex,
so rename the mutex and make PCI drivers use the mutex
as well.
This now means that BBP and RF registers are no longer
accessible in interrupt context. That is not a bad
situation since the slow behavior of accessing
those registers means we don't _want_ to access them
in interrupt context either.

Ivo van Doorn bad13639a3 rt2x00: Optimize get_duration / get_duration_res
We can optimize get_duration and get_duration_res
by making them a macro. They are really simple
calculation handlers so this doesn't matter much.

Often (especially in rt2400pci and rt2500pci,
the arguments are hardcoded, and the result value
is passed into other hardcoded values.

By making the functions a macro GCC can
optimize the entire thing much better.

Ivo van Doorn 798b7adb4e rt2x00: Cleanup TX/RX entry handling
Merge the callback functions init_txentry() and
init_rxentry(). This makes life in rt2x00lib a
lot simpler and we can cleanup several functions.

rt2x00pci contained "fake" FIELD definitions for
descriptor words. This is not flexible since it
assumes the driver will always have the same field
to indicate if a driver is available or not.
This should be dependent on the driver, and we
should add a callback function for this.

handle TX interrupts at all (because these interrupts remain masked on

Felix Fietkau 8b0162a3dc ath5k: ignore the return value of ath5k_hw_noise_floor_calibration
Noise floor calibration occasionally fails on Atheros hardware.
This is not fatal and can happen if there's simply too much
noise on the air. Ignoring the calibration error is the right
thing to do here, because when the error is ignored, the hardware
will still work, whereas if the error causes the driver to bail out
of a bigger configuration function and does not configure the tx
queues or the IMR (as is the case in reset.c), the hw no longer
works properly until the next reset.

Ivo van Doorn 6d64360ac5 rt2x00: Fix BUG_ON() with antenna handling
With the new configuration handling, and more specifically
splitting the configuration of the antenna from the normal
configuration steps allowed a BUG_ON() to be triggered
in the driver because the SW_DIVERSITY was send to the
driver. This fixes that by catching the value early in
rt2x00config.c and replacing it with a sensible value.

This also fixes a problem where the antenna is not being
initialized at all when the radio is enabled. Since it
no longer is part of the mac80211 configuration the
only place where rt2x00 configured it was the SW diversity
handler. Obviously this is broken for all non-diversity
hardware and breaks SW diversity due to a broken initialization.

When the radio is enabled the antenna will be configured
once as soon as the config() callback function is called.

hardware, when the module is loaded the keys will

This should prevent the problem reported by Johannes Berg,
where unplugging the device while suspended resulted in
a NULL pointer error during set_key() which was
caused because of the CSR base address being freed.

For every global LED state change (register/unregister,
suspend/resume) we should force the LEDS to turn off.
This makes sure that the LEDS will always be in a sane
state after the state switch.

Note that when unregister is called but the LED class
wasn't resumed yet, we shouldn't change the LED state
since we might not have access to the device (device
was unplugged while suspended).

Also remove the checks in the activity, assoc and
radio LEDS which blocked calls to brightness_set()
when the state hasn't changed. Some of those LEDS
could be enabled by themselves when something happens
in the hardware (e.g. firmware is loaded). We already
did called rt2x00leds to switch the LED off, but those

John W. Linville 3d29b0c33d netdevice zd1201: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev_priv()
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.

(Original patch posted by Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> w/ above
changelog but using dev->ml_priv.  That doesn't seem appropriate
to me for this driver, so I've revamped it to use netdev_priv()
instead. -- JWL)

Johannes Berg 4018517a1a iwlagn: fix RX skb alignment
So I dug deeper into the DMA problems I had with iwlagn and a kind soul
helped me in that he said something about pci-e alignment and mentioned
the iwl_rx_allocate function to check for crossing 4KB boundaries. Since
there's 8KB A-MPDU support, crossing 4k boundaries didn't seem like
something the device would fail with, but when I looked into the
function for a minute anyway I stumbled over this little gem:

	BUG_ON(rxb->dma_addr & (~DMA_BIT_MASK(36) & 0xff));

Clearly, that is a totally bogus check, one would hope the compiler
removes it entirely. (Think about it)

After fixing it, I obviously ran into it, nothing guarantees the
alignment the way you want it,  because of the way skbs and their
headroom are allocated. I won't explain that here nor double-check that
I'm right, that goes beyond what most of the CC'ed people care about.

So then I came up with the patch below, and so far my system has
survived minutes with 64K pages, when it would previously fail in
seconds. And I haven't seen a single instance of the TX bug either. But
when you see the patch it'll be pretty obvious to you why.

This should fix the following reported kernel bugs:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11596
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11393
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11983

I haven't checked if there are any elsewhere, but I suppose RHBZ will
have a few instances too...

I'd like to ask anyone who is CC'ed (those are people I know ran into
the bug) to try this patch.

I am convinced that this patch is correct in spirit, but I haven't
understood why, for example, there are so many unmap calls. I'm not
entirely convinced that this is the only bug leading to the TX reply
errors.

Johannes Berg 8e3bad65a5 mac80211: remove ieee80211_notify_mac
Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the
use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may
have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset.

Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed
up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that
mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used
by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good
enough" suspend/resume.

Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only
works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or
any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless.

Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because
it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping
functions within the critical section, and now because it's called
by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl
because it is flushed under rtnl.
(cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046)

I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it
entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly.
For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for
the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably
simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get
mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to
connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we
will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer
to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation,
while the suspend operation must be done directly.

Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect
to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short
enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect
that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the
association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data
frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and
have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is
available and requested.

Johannes Berg 9b44fb89ca libertas_tf: fix skb tail pointer
skb->tail can't be meant here because it's not the same across 32/64 bit
compilations. This means there's no way the current driver can work on
64-bit architectures.

Wang Chen 524ad0a791 netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-4
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

Johannes Berg f7cd168645 hostap: pad the skb->cb usage in lieu of a proper fix
Like mac80211 did, this driver makes 'clever' use of skb->cb to pass
information along with an skb as it is requeued from the virtual device
to the physical wireless device.  Unfortunately, that trick no longer
works...

Unlike mac80211, code complexity and driver apathy makes this hack
the best option we have in the short run.  Hopefully someone will
eventually be motivated to code a proper fix before all the effected
hardware dies.

(Above text by me.  Johannes officially disavows all knowledge of this
hack. -- JWL)
