Johannes Berg 9d139c810a mac80211: revamp beacon configuration
This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling
to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always
require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally,
it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call
to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it
removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of
having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

Ivo van Doorn d74f5ba473 rt2x00: Cleanup symbol exports
With a bit of code moving to rt2x00lib within the
TX and RX paths we can now remove a lot of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
statements. This cleans up the interface between rt2x00lib
and the drivers and has the additional benefit that rt2x00pci
and rt2x00usb are trimmed down in size as well since they
have less to do.

Gertjan van Wingerde c4da004857 rt2x00: Replace statically allocated DMA buffers with mapped skb's.
The current PCI drivers require a lot of pre-allocated DMA buffers. Reduce this
by using dynamically mapped skb's (using pci_map_single) instead of the pre-
allocated DMA buffers that are allocated at device start-up time.

At the same time move common RX path code into rt2x00lib from rt2x00pci and
rt2x00usb, as the RX paths now are now almost the same.

Gertjan van Wingerde 14a3bf8921 rt2x00: Convert rt2x00 to use generic DMA-mapping API
At the same time clean up the device administration a bit, by storing a pointer
to struct device instead of a void pointer that is dependent on the type of
device. The normal PCI and USB subsystem provided macros can be used to convert
the device pointer to the right type.
This makes the rt2x00 driver a bit more type-safe.

Ivo van Doorn b869767b6f rt2x00: Don't kick TX queue after each frame
TX queues shouldn't be kicked after each frame that is put into the
queue.  This could cause problems during RTS and CTS-to-self as well
as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be
send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill
up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached,
will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame.

In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way
that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when
it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit

Gertjan van Wingerde 61448f8807 rt2x00: Fix queue related oops in case of deselected mac80211 multi-queue feature.
With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.

The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.

Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
inside a mac80211 structure.

Ivo van Doorn fb55f4d1fa rt2x00: Fix TX status reporting
The tx_status enumeration was broken since the introduction
of rt61pci. That driver uses different values to report the
status of the tx action.
This would lead to frames that were reported as success but
actually failed to be send out, or frames that were neither
successfull or failure which were reported as failure.

Fix this by change the TX status reporting and more explicitely
check for failure or success. Note that a third possibility is
added "unknown". Not all hardware (USB) can report the actual
TX status, for rt61pci some frames will receive this status
because the TXdone handler is never called for those frames.
This unknown will now be handled as neither success or failure,
so we no longer increment the failure counter while this conclusion
could not be determined from the real status of the frame.

Bruno Randolf 566bfe5a8b mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

Ivo van Doorn 89993890ae rt2x00: Fix rt2400pci signal
After sampling hundreds of RX frame descriptors,
the results were conclusive:
- The Ralink documentation regarding the SIGNAL and RSSI are wrong.

It turns out that of the 5 BBR registers, we should not use BBR0 and BBR1
for SIGNAL and RSSI respectively, but actually BBR1 and BBR2.
BBR0 does show values, but the exact meaning remains unclear,
but they cannot be translated into a SIGNAL or RSSI field.
BBR3, BBR4 and BBR5 are always 0, so their meaning is unknown.

As it turns out, the reported SIGNAL is the PLCP value, this
in contradiction to what was expected looking at rt2500pci which
only reported the PLCP values for OFDM rates and bitrate values
for CCK rates.

This means we should let the driver raise the flag about the contents
of the SIGNAL field so rt2x00lib can always do the right thing based
on what the driver reports.

We should not write 0 to the beacon sync register during

The side effect of the same bug was that while working with

interfaces would disable beaconing untill an beacon update
was provided.

This is resolved by only updating the TSF_SYNC value during

As Johannes Berg indicated the BEACON and AFTER_BEACON
queue indeces in mac80211 should be removed because they
are too hardware specific. This patch adds the queue index
defines into rt2x00queue.h and removes the dependency of
the defines inside mac80211.h.

Also move rt2x00pci_beacon_update() into rt2400pci and
rt2500pci individually since it is no longer a generic
function since rt61 and rt2800 no longer use that.

Ivo van Doorn 6bb40dd13b rt2x00: Add per-interface structure
Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.

Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.

Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces

At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
will be very unlikely.

Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
mode interfaces are currently active.

The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
often called together since they all belong to the interface
configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
the configuration handler as well.

Ivo van Doorn 181d6902b6 rt2x00: Queue handling overhaul
This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
renames "ring" to "queues".

Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.

Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
system of the queue.

Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
code readability.

rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
structure.

rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.

Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect
beacon handling or beacon related code.

Ivo van Doorn 61667d8d5b rt2x00: Add link tuner safe RX toggle states
This adds 2 new states which both are used to toggle
the RX. These new states are required for usage
inside the link tuner thread, because the normal
RX toggling will stop the link tuner thread.
While it is possible that the link tuner thread itself
is the caller of the RX toggle (when using software
antenna diversity).

Johannes Berg 471b3efdfc mac80211: add unified BSS configuration
This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for
a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require
the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode.

This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is
passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback
when the BSS configuration changes.

This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following
new features:
 * drivers are notified of their association AID
 * drivers are notified of association status

and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does
the relevant driver updates for the latter change.

Ivo van Doorn 3c4f2085e5 rt2x00: Move packet filter flags
The packet filter flags don't belong in the interface structure
because they are device based instead of interface based.
So move the filter fields out of struct interface and into rt2x00_dev.

Additionally we shouldn't change the filter based on the working
mode, if such a thing is needed than mac80211 should have done that.

Ivo van Doorn 3867705bb7 rt2x00: Only set the TBCN flag when the interface is configured to send beacons.
These flags used to be fixed to one in rt2500pci_config_type, which
caused the beacon timer interrupt to fire. This would lead to
rt2x00lib_beacondone adding work which called
rt2x00lib_beacondone_scheduled which called ieee80211_beacon_get which
printed an error about not having any beacon data.

With this patch, these interrupts are only generated when the interface
is configured to send beacons.

frame is to be expected. Use this flag to set the ACK bit in the tx descriptor.
Previously, the ACK bit could be set incorrectly on CTS-to-self frames, so they
