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.

A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:
"cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"
We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.
By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
support such enhancements when world roaming.
Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.
We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
world wide.
This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
upon wiphy registration.
I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.

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

We need to provide a reasonable minimum that will result in a

4 standard TX queues + 1 command queue + 2 (unused) HCCA queues +
4 HT queues (one per AC).
We allow the user to change the number of queues used via a module
parameter and use this minimum value to check if it is valid. Without
this patch a user can select a value for the number of queues that

* 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.

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.

This removes all the dead code that tries to adjust the power
saving level based on the system AC state (inacceptable policy
in the kernel) or based on overtemp conditions (unused).
Also, pass _all_ policy wrt. enabling PS to mac80211, since
we do not use the power_disabled internally I now use that to
mirror the mac80211 CONF_PS setting. When mac80211 turns off
CONF_PS we follow suit. This means that the user power level
(which can currently only be set from sysfs) is not touched
for mac80211 powersave changes.
This means no "association status" checks are necessary since
mac80211 will not allow power save to be enabled when not

rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.
This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
