Johannes Berg dbabad0c9c zd1211rw: fix potential use-after-free bug
zd_mac_tx_to_dev() could potentially free the skb, or hand it off
to mac80211 which might free it. Hence, this code needs to get the
usb pointer out of skb->cb before handing it off to that function.

Luis Carlos Cobo 72e77a8a79 zd1211rw: support for mesh interface and beaconing
The previously unused CR_CAM_MODE register is set to MODE_AP_WDS. This makes the
driver ack mesh (WDS) frames. It does not affect Infra functionality of the
driver.

Previously missing beaconing support has been added. This might also help
implement a currently missing ah-hoc mode.

Support for interrupts from the device have been added, but we are not handling
most of them.

Mesh interfaces are considered associated as long as the interface is up.

Despite the product name, I'm pretty sure this isn't a MIMO device. It
appears just to be a normal ZD1211B and we have never heard of these
devices having more than 1 RF. I guess they named this product this way
to make it appear that it fits in with the rest of their XtremeMIMO

Daniel Drake 74553aedd4 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Defer firmware load until first ifup
While playing with the firmware a while back, I discovered a way to
access the device's entire address space before the firmware has been
loaded.

Previously we were loading the firmware early on (during probe) so that
we could read the MAC address from the EEPROM and register a netdevice.
Now that we can read the EEPROM without having firmware, we can defer
firmware loading until later while still reading the MAC address early
on.

This has the advantage that zd1211rw can now be built into the kernel --
previously if this was the case, zd1211rw would be loaded before the
filesystem is available and firmware loading would fail.

Firmware load and other device initialization operations now happen the
first time the interface is brought up.

Some architectural changes were needed: handling of the is_zd1211b flag
was moved into the zd_usb structure, MAC address handling was obviously
changed, and a preinit_hw stage was added (the order is now: init,
preinit_hw, init_hw).

Daniel Drake 0ce34bc8f7 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Remove addressing abstraction
Instead of passing our own custom 32-bit addresses around and
translating them, this patch makes all our register address constants
absolute and removes the translation.

There are two ugly parts:
 - fw_reg_addr() is needed to compute addresses of firmware registers, as this
   is dynamic based upon firmware
 - inc_addr() needs a small hack to handle byte vs word addressing

However, both of those are only small, and we don't use fw_regs a whole
lot anyway.

The bonuses here include simplicity and improved driver readability. Also, the
fact that registers are now referenced by 16-bit absolute addresses (as
opposed to 32-bit pseudo addresses) means that over 2kb compiled code size has
been shaved off.

Includes some touchups and sparse fixes from Ulrich Kunitz.

Daniel Drake ee30276774 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Consistency for address space constants
The zd1211rw address space has confused me once too many times. This
patch introduces the following naming notation:

Memory space is split into segments (cr, fw, eeprom) and segments may
contain components (e.g. boot code inside eeprom). These names are
arbitrary and only for the description below:

x_START: Absolute address of segment start
(previously these were named such as CR_BASE_OFFSET, but they weren't
really offsets unless you were considering them as an offset to 0)

x_LEN: Segment length

x_y_LEN: Length of component y of segment x

x_y_OFFSET: Relative address of component y into segment x. The absolute
address for this component is (x_START + x_y_OFFSET)

I also renamed EEPROM registers to EEPROM data. These 'registers' can't
be written to using standard I/O and really represent predefined data
from the vendor.

Remove unused code in zd_mac.c: The unused code intended for debugging
rx_status values is no longer useful.

Added dump_stack() to ZD_ASSERT macro: Output of the stack helps to debug
assertions. Keep in mind that the ZD_ASSERT() macro only results in code,
if DEBUG is defined.

Ulrich Kunitz a68077defb [PATCH] zd1211rw: Fix of a locking bug
This patch fixes the bug as reported in the kernel bug tracker
under the id 7244. The bug was simply that the interrupt lock has
been locked outside an interrupt without blocking the interrupt.

David Howells 7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

Ulrich Kunitz bc5f06a8aa [PATCH] zd1211rw: Added workqueue
For housekeeping and watchdog tasks a workqueue is created. The
central workqueue is not used to prevent crashes creates by bugs.
It might be changed, when the housekeeping is stabilized.

Ulrich Kunitz c48cf12514 [PATCH] zd1211rw: cleanups
Add static to 2 internal functions. Thanks goes to Adrian Bunk, who found that.

Also made some modifications to the clear functions:

After a discussion on the mailing list, I implemented this code to
have on the one hand sufficient test in debug mode, but on the
other hand reduce the overhead for structure clearing to a
minimum.

A new macro ZD_MEMCLEAR is introduced, which produces code if
DEBUG is set. Locks are not set anymore for structure clearing,
but in debug mode, there is a verification, that the locks have
not been set.

Finally, removed a misleading comment regarding locking in the disconnect
path.
