* rtl8187: Change rate-control feedbackLarry Finger2011-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver for the RTL8187L chips returns IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK for all packets, even if the maximum number of retries was exhausted. In addition it fails to setup max_rates in the ieee80211_hw struct, This behavior may be responsible for the problems noted in Bug 14168. As the bug is very old, testers have not been found, and I do not have the case where the indicated signal is less than -70 dBm.

* mac80211: make tx() operation return voidJohannes Berg2011-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211. Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the old "return -1" there was wrong.

* mac80211: rename RX_FLAG_TSFTJohannes Berg2011-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | The flag isn't very descriptive -- the intention is that the driver provides a TSF timestamp at the beginning of the MPDU -- make that clearer by renaming the flag to RX_FLAG_MACTIME_MPDU.

* rtl8187: restore anaparam registers after reset with 8187BHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski2010-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Current 8187B initialization misses anaparam registers restore after 8187 reset. This causes ANAPARAM register to stay zeroed out (ANAPARAM2 kept its value on my tests). To avoid this, call rtl8187_set_anaparam right after chip reset (to be on the safe side, as it makes sure we restore all ANAPARAM registers).

| | | | | | | | | | | | The GNTSel bit should only concern pci devices by looking at RTL8180 spec, which is not the case of 8187B. Also testing shows that trying to set this bit fails, a subsequent read from the register after trying to set it shows that the bit isn't set, seems the hardware ignores it, which makes sense.

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
