colin@cozybit.com 93da9cc17c Add nl80211 commands to get and set o11s mesh networking parameters
The two new commands are NL80211_CMD_GET_MESH_PARAMS and
NL80211_CMD_SET_MESH_PARAMS. There is a new attribute enum,
NL80211_ATTR_MESH_PARAMS, which enumerates the various mesh configuration
parameters.

Moved struct mesh_config from mac80211/ieee80211_i.h to net/cfg80211.h.
nl80211_get_mesh_params and nl80211_set_mesh_params unpack the netlink messages
and ask the driver to get or set the configuration.  This is done via two new
function stubs, get_mesh_params and set_mesh_params, in struct cfg80211_ops.

Johannes Berg 4a68ec535e mac80211: inform userspace of probe/auth/assoc timeout
I noticed that when for some reason [1] the probe or auth times
out, wpa_supplicant doesn't realise this and only tries the next
AP when it runs into its own timeout, which is ten seconds, and
that's quite long. Fix this by making mac80211 notify userspace
that it didn't associate.

[1] my wrt350n in mixed B/G/HT mode often runs into this, maybe
it's because one of the antennas is broken off and for whatever
reason it decides to use that antenna to transmit the response
frames (auth, probe); I do see beacons fine so it's not totally
broken. Works fine in pure-G mode.

This patch:
1. fixes command DMA unmapping, this might be visible only
	on platforms where DMA unmapping is no noop such as PPC64 (not tested)
2. attaches correctly high memory part of the host command buffer
3. changes structure of TFD TB
	instead of describing transmit buffer (TB) tuple it describes single
	TB and makes code more readable on price of one unaligned access
4. eliminates using of IWL_GET/SET_BITs for TFD handling
5. renames TFD structures to mach the HW spec
6. reduces iwl_tx_info size by reserving first TB to the host command

This patch should not have any visible effect on x86 32

requires it. This makes it hard to enable, but most people wouldn't

Wang Chen faf3994a9f airo: Kill directly reference of 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.

In this driver, I don't simply use netdev_priv() to replace netdev->priv.

The reason is:
Pointer netdev->priv was changed in this driver, but it shouldn't.
Because the memory was allocated when alloc_netdev() and netdev->priv
should always point to that memory.

So I use netdev->ml_priv to replace netdev->priv.
After replacing, both ai and ai->wifidev->ml_priv point to the same memory.

Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski f8288317b5 rtl8187: add short slot handling for 8187B
This change adds short slot handling for 8187B variant of rtl8187 chips.
Some things to note about changes done:
* Values used are chosen to met 802.11-2007 spec. This raised a question
  about SIFS value used with 8187L: 0x22 (34) doesn't match any spec
  value. For now just don't change 8187L, but is something to be
  looked at.
* On 8187B, the location of EIFS register is at the same place as BRSR+1
  of struct rtl818x_csr. Unfortunately there is no clean way to
  accomodate 8187B differences currently, just use address of BRSR+1 and
  comment about it. The same thing happens for Ack timeout register,
  that is on CARRIER_SENSE_COUNTER location of 8187L. The eifs and ack
  timeout values are in units of 4us. All these registers information
  was gathered from references being the vendor gpl driver and 8180
  datasheet, unfortunately there is no information about this on 8187B
  datasheet. Also the ack timeout value was inspired by the same
  calculation as done on rt2x00.

 * it always uses the AP info even if there is no AP,

 * it pretends to be HW config, but really is per-BSS
 * channel sanity checking is left to the drivers
 * it generally lets the driver control too much

HT enabling is still wrong with this patch if you have more than
one virtual STA mode interface, but that never happens currently.
Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be
wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht().

Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs:
 * mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any
             more since the refactoring
 * iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff
               mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA
 * ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API

I'm not entirely happy with putting the HT capabilities into
struct ieee80211_sta as restricted to our own HT TX capabilities,
but I see no cleaner solution for now.

Johannes Berg bda3933a8a mac80211: move bss_conf into vif
Move bss_conf into the vif struct so that drivers can
access it during ->tx without having to store it in
the private data or similar. No driver updates because
this is only for when they want to start using it.

Instead of having a separate callback, use the HW config callback
with a new flag to change retry limits.

Johannes Berg 94778280fa mac80211: provide sequence numbers
I've come to think that not providing sequence numbers for
the normal STA mode case was a mistake, at least two drivers
now had to implement code they wouldn't otherwise need, and
I believe at76_usb and adm8211 might be broken.

This patch makes mac80211 assign a sequence number to all
those frames that need one except beacons. That means that
if a driver only implements modes that do not do beaconing
it need not worry about the sequence number.

Larry Finger 2e20cc3986 p54: Move rx_mtu to struct bootrec_desc
The patch entitled "[PATCH] p54: Fix sparse warnings" added the __le16
variable rx_mtu to struct bootrec, but it could equally well be placed
in the struct bootrec_desc, which overlays the 'data' section of bootrec.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 78236571a5 rfkill: rate-limit rfkill-input workqueue usage (v3)
Limit the number of "expensive" rfkill workqueue operations per second, in
order to not hog system resources too much when faced with a rogue source
of rfkill input events.

The old rfkill-input code (before it was refactored) had such a limit in
place.  It used to drop new events that were past the rate limit.  This
behaviour was not implemented as an anti-DoS measure, but rather as an
attempt to work around deficiencies in input device drivers which would
issue multiple KEY_FOO events too soon for a given key FOO (i.e. ones that
do not implement mechanical debouncing properly).

However, we can't really expect such issues to be worked around by every
input handler out there, and also by every userspace client of input
devices.  It is the input device driver's responsability to do debouncing
instead of spamming the input layer with bogus events.

The new limiter code is focused only on anti-DoS behaviour, and tries to
not lose events (instead, it coalesces them when possible).

The transmitters are updated once every 200ms, maximum.  Care is taken not
to delay a request to _enter_ rfkill transmitter Emergency Power Off (EPO)
mode.

If mistriggered (e.g. by a jiffies counter wrap), the code delays processing
*once* by 200ms.
