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.

When uCode detect error and can not fix itself, this iwl_force_reset()
function allow driver to perform the necessary reset/reload functions and help
to bring uCode back to normal operation state.
Currently only 2 type of force reset are available:
- reset radio
- reload firmware

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.

Add additional logic for internal scan routine to control how
frequent this function should be performed.
The intent of this function is to reset/re-tune the radio and bring the
RF/PHY back to normal state, it does not make sense calling it too
frequent,
if reset the radio can not bring it back to normal state, it indicate
there are other reason to cause the radio not operate correctly.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
