* mac80211: make master netdev handling saneJohannes Berg2008-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however, is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power saving stations.) Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on the list of interfaces either. This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now - no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which lets me remove a lot of tests for that - no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called on the master netdev any more.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | When CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n the following error occures on vmlinux linkage: `.exit.text' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o 'rtl8187_disconnect' function marked as __devexit isn't compiled with no hotplug support.

* rt2x00: Fix NULL pointer error in adhoc/master modeIvo van Doorn2008-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As soon as an interface is enabled, and that interface is in adhoc or master mode, the device will start raising beacondone interrupts. But before the first interrupt is raised, mac80211 will probably not have send any beacons to the device yet, which results in a NULL pointer error when the skb is being freed. Note that the "raise beacondone interrupts without a beacon" is also a bug, and will be addressed later. The more important bug however is preventing the NULL pointer failt itself, since there might be other conditions that could trigger it as well.

| | | | | | | | | | First, we add a qdisc_tx_changing() helper which returns true if the qdisc attachment is in transition.

* netdev: Create netdev_queue abstraction.David S. Miller2008-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc. Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely contains a backpointer to the net_device. The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well. Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the resulting hierarchy: net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue pointer argument.

Maybe some other nasty things, but we caught only the oops in gc so far. The solution is to disarm the ifp->timer before flushing the rt from it.

| * mac80211: Only flush workqueue when last interface was removedIvo van Doorn2008-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the ieee80211_hw->workqueue is flushed each time an interface is being removed. However most scheduled work is not interface specific but device specific, for example things like periodic work for link tuners.

There are also other examples in the same file which might have the same problem. Perhaps someone can actually test this (or refute my logic). Take the simple example with only one element in the list (which should fit into the message): 1. invocation: Start: idx = 0, start = 0 Loop: condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 0) => false => no continue, fill one entry, exit loop, return skb->len > 0 2. invocation: Start: idx = 0, start = 1 Loop: condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 1) => false => no continue, fill the same entry again, exit loop, return skb->len > 0 3. invocation: Same as 2. invocation, endless invocation of callback. Also, iterations where the filling of an element fails should not be counted as completed, so idx should not be incremented in this case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some early versions of RTL8187B devices have a USB ID of 0x8187 rather than the 0x8189 of later models. In addition, it appears that these early units also must be programmed with lower power.
