Reinette Chatre 4a6547c748 iwl3945: remove STATUS macros from header
iwl3945 includes iwl-core.h in which these STATUS flags are already
defined. This also removes a potential confusing definition with iwlcore
using STATUS_MODE_PENDING with value 18 and iwl3945 defining (but not
using) STATUS_CONF_PENDING for value 18.

Reinette Chatre 3459ab5a1c iwlwifi: make broadcast station addition generic
Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it
in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and
iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add
that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality
resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code
reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This
seems to be an efficient solution.

It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945
broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since
the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always
set.

Trieu 'Andrew' Nguyen 3e4fb5faef iwlwifi: Tune radio to prevent unexpected behavior
We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment
and the radio is out of tune.  There are lot of plcp errors indicating
this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the
Access Point.  By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are
reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise.

To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication,
- The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on
the statistics notification from the uCode.
- It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via
the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.

we see from http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2125
that power saving does not work well on 3945. Since then power saving has
also been connected with association problems where an AP deathenticates a
3945 after it is unable to transmit data to it - this happens when 3945
enters power savings mode.

In iwlwifi, priv->alloc_rxb_page is used to keep track of the Rx
pages allocated by the driver. This cleans up the page free routines
by introducing __iwl_free_pages/iwl_free_pages so that the accounting
is more accurate and less error prone. This also fixes two instances where

touch an already freed page. It is fixed by avoiding the access in this
patch. I've also added some comments so that other people touching the
code won't make the same mistake. In the future, if we cannot avoid
access the page after being handled to the upper layer, we can use
get_page/put_page to handle it. For now, it's just not necessary.

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.

Ben Cahill 008a9e3e3c iwl3945: move iwl_power_initialize()
iwl_power_initialize() initializes driver data (not device hardware), and does
not need to execute more than once (when the driver initializes).  Therefore, it
does not belong in iwl3945_apm_init(), which initializes hardware, and may run

Move it to iwl3945_pci_probe(), where it will run only once.  This agrees
with similar placement in iwl-agn.c's iwl_pci_probe(), although placement
under "services" seemed more appropriate than under "mac80211".

Johannes Berg e932a609e9 iwlwifi: LED cleanup
The iwlwifi drivers have LED blinking requirements that
mac80211 cannot fulfill due to the use of just a single
LED instead of different ones for TX, RX, radio etc.
Instead, the single LED blinks according to transfers
and is solid on the rest of the time. As such, having
LED class devices registered that mac80211 triggers are
connected to is pointless as we don't use the triggers
anyway.

Remove all the useless code and add hooks into the
driver itself. At the same time, make the LED code
abstracted so the core code that determines blink rate
etc. can be shared between 3945 and agn in iwlcore.

At the same time, the fact that we removed the use of
the mac80211 LED triggers means we can also remove the
IWLWIFI_LEDS Kconfig symbol since the LED support is
now self-contained.

The calculation is: (100-averageDeviation)/100 * blinkTime
For code efficiency the calculation will be:

Reinette Chatre b7a794048f iwlwifi: fix 3945 ucode info retrieval after failure
When hardware or uCode problem occurs driver captures significant
information from device to enable debugging. The format of this information
is different between 3945 and 4965 and later devices, yet currently the
3945 uses the 4965 and later format. Fix this by adding a new library call
that is initialized to the correct formatting routine based on device.

This moves the iwlagn event and error log handling back to iwl-agn.c to
make it part of iwlagn module.

Also remove the 3945 sysfs file that triggers dump of event log - there is
already a debugfs file that can do it for all drivers.

Daniel C Halperin 396887a2b2 iwlwifi: fix erroneous use of iwl_rx_packet.len as a length
The field called 'len' in struct iwl_rx_packet is in fact not just a length
field but also includes some flags from the flow handler.  In several places
throughout the driver, this causes incorrect values to be interpreted as
lengths when the field is improperly masked.

In most situations the improper use is for debugging output, and simply results
in an erroneous message, such as:

[551933.070224] ieee80211 phy0: I iwl_rx_statistics Statistics notification received (480 vs -1367342620).

which should read '(480 vs 484)'.

In at least one case this could case bad things to happen:

                                      struct iwl_rx_mem_buffer *rxb)
{
        struct iwl_rx_packet *pkt = (struct iwl_rx_packet *)rxb->skb->data;

Given the rampant misuse of this field without proper masking throughout the
driver (every use but one), this patch renames the field from 'len' to
'len_n_flags' to reduce confusion.  It also adds the proper masking when
this field is used as a length value.

Daniel C Halperin b261793da5 iwlwifi: use station HT capabilities and BSS operating mode for Green-field
Green-field mode should be configured in the HT station table.  This patch uses
both the per-station GF support flag as well as the current BSS HT operation
mode (non-GF stations present flag).

Added the "ht_greenfield_support" field to struct iwl_cfg to replace the
device-specific check in rs_use_green().  That check has been moved to
iwlcore_init_ht_hw_capab().

Kalle Valo aae79e648d iwl3945: fix compilation error in iwl3945_pass_packet_to_mac80211()
Commit "iwlwifi: Traffic type and counter for debugFs" broke iwl3945 in
a case when CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEDS is disabled:

drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-3945.c:580: error: 'hdr' undeclared (first use in this function)

Fix it by removing the ifdef check for hdr variable.

Break down the traffic type and counter for both Tx and Rx.
Enhance the tx_statistics and rx_statistics debugfs function and move
to /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/iwlagn/debug directory to help
better debugging both driver and uCode related problems.

Wey-Yi Guy 20594eb0da iwlwifi: new debugging feature for dumping data traffic
The traffic buffer will only beallocated and used if either bit 23
(IWL_DX_TX) or bit 24 (IWL_DL_RX) of "debug" is set;
example: "debug=0x800000" - log tx data traffic
         "debug=0x1000000" - log rx data traffic
         "debug=0x1800000" - log both tx and rx traffic

The traffic log will store the beginning portion (64 bytes)  of the
latest 256 of tx and rx packets in the round-robbin buffer for
debugging,
user can examine the log through debugfs file.

How to display the current logged tx/rx traffic and txfifo and rxfifo
read/write point:
"cat traffic_log" in /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/iwlagn/debug
directory

By echo "0" to traffic_log file will empty the traffic log buffer and
reset both tx and rx taffic log index to 0.

Reinette Chatre 3d816c77ec iwlwifi: re-introduce per device debugging
Commit "iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly" cleaned up the
debug level handling. In doing so it created a single global debug
level for all devices. Some setups do consits of more that one iwlwifi
device and in these setups there is a requirement that debug levels
should be unique per device.

We now re-introduce the per device debugging while maintaining the
cleanup effort of the previous patch.

The maintain the global debug level and now introduce a per-device debug
level that will be used if it (the per-device debug level) is set. The
per-device debug level can be controlled via the debug_level sysfs file
while the global debug level is controlled by the debug module parameter.

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 a562a9dda7 iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly
* Deprecate the "debug50" module parameter used to obtain
  5000 series and up debugging. Replace it with "debug" module
  parameter to match with original driver and be consistent
  between them. The "debug50" module parameter can still be used,
  except that the module parameter is not writable in keeping
  with its previous state. We currently just mark it as "deprecated"
  and do not have it in the feature-removal-schedule. Some more
  cleanup of module parameters needs to be done and can then be
  entered together.

* Only make "debug" module parameters visible if the driver
  is compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG. This will eliminate
  a lot of confusion where users think they have set debug flags
  but yet cannot see any debug output.

* Make module parameters writable. This eliminates the need for the
  "debug_level" sysfs file, which can now also be deprecated and
  added to feature-removal-schedule. This file is in significant
  use though with many iwlwifi documents and text referring users
  to it. We can thus not take its removal lightly and keep it around.

With iwlcore shared between iwlagn and iwl3945 we really do not need
debug module parameters for each but can instead have one debug
module parameter for the iwlcore module. The same issue is here as
with the sysfs file - a lot of iwlwifi documentation and text (like
bug reports) rely on iwlagn and iwl3945 having this module parameter,
so changing this to a module parameter of iwlcore will have significant
impact and we do not do this for that reason.

One consequence of this patch is that if a user is running a system
with both 3945 and later hardware then the setting of the one module
parameter will affect the value of the other. The likelihood of this
seems low - and even if this setup is present it does not seem like an
issue for both modules to run with the same debug level.

Jay Sternberg cc0f555d51 iwlwifi: Handle new firmware file with ucode build number in header
Adding new API version to account for change to ucode file format.  New
header includes the build number of the ucode.  This build number is the
SVN revision thus allowing for exact correlation to the code that
generated it.

The header adds the build number so that older ucode images can also be
enhanced to include the build in the future.

some cleanup in iwl_read_ucode needed to ensure old header not used and
reduce unnecessary references through pointer with the data is already
in heap variable.
