* rtlwifi: Improve handling of IPv6 packetsLarry Finger2015-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Routine rtl_is_special_data() is supposed to identify packets that need to use a low bit rate so that the probability of successful transmission is high. The current version has a bug that causes all IPv6 packets to be labelled as special, with a corresponding low rate of transmission. A complete fix will be quite intrusive, but until that is available, all IPv6 packets are identified as regular. This patch also removes a magic number.

* rtlwifi: Remove logging statement that is no longer neededLarry Finger2015-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | In commit e9538cf4f907 ("rtlwifi: Fix error when accessing unmapped memory in skb"), a printk was included to indicate that the condition had been reached. There is now enough evidence from other users that the fix is working. That logging statement can now be removed.

| * rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix problems with calculating free space in FIFOLarry Finger2015-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This driver utilizes a FIFO buffer for RX descriptors. There are four places in the code where it calculates the number of free slots. Several of those locations do the calculation incorrectly. To fix these and to prevent future mistakes, a common inline routine is created.

| * rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix handling of new style descriptorsTroy Tan2015-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardware and firmware for the RTL8192EE utilize a FIFO list of descriptors. There were some problems with the initial implementation. The worst of these failed to detect that the FIFO was becoming full, which led to the device needing to be power cycled. As this condition is not relevant to most of the devices supported by rtlwifi, a callback routine was added to detect this situation. This patch implements the necessary changes in the pci handler, and the linkage into the appropriate rtl8192ee routine.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These drivers use 9100-byte receive buffers, thus allocating an skb requires an O(3) memory allocation. Under heavy memory loads and fragmentation, such a request can fail. Previous versions of the driver have dropped the packet and reused the old buffer; however, the new version introduced a bug in that it released the old buffer before trying to allocate a new one. The previous method is implemented here. The skb is unmapped before any attempt is made to allocate another.
