* rt2x00: Only initialize the minimum needed fields of PCI TX descriptors.Gertjan van Wingerde2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | In preparation of replacing the statically allocated data DMA buffers with DMA-mapped skb's we need to change the TXD handling of the PCI drivers, by moving the programming of the buffer address fields to the actual TXD writing at TX time, instead of at start-up time.

* rt2x00: Preserve descriptor information after memmove()Ivo van Doorn2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to usage of memmove() in rt2x00usb the descriptor can become corrupted because it is being overwritten by the data part. Overall having the descriptor in front of the frame is a bad idea, we can however use the skb->cb array for this task, since that contains more then enough room to hold the entire descriptor and preserve the information long enough. After this we can also cleanup the alignment code a bit to make it work a bit more flexible to allow for all kinds of odd header lengths.

* rt2x00: Fix queue related oops in case of deselected mac80211 multi-queue ↵Gertjan van Wingerde2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | feature. With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected. The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use, and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation. Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents inside a mac80211 structure.

* rt2x00: Remove ieee80211_tx_control argument from write_tx_desc()Ivo van Doorn2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | Move the last remaining information details read from ieee80211_tx_control in the drivers to the txentry_desc structure. After this we can remove ieee80211_tx_control from the argument list for the callback function, which makes it easier when the control information is moved into skb->cb Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* rt2x00: Fix TX status reportingIvo van Doorn2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tx_status enumeration was broken since the introduction of rt61pci. That driver uses different values to report the status of the tx action. This would lead to frames that were reported as success but actually failed to be send out, or frames that were neither successfull or failure which were reported as failure. Fix this by change the TX status reporting and more explicitely check for failure or success. Note that a third possibility is added "unknown". Not all hardware (USB) can report the actual TX status, for rt61pci some frames will receive this status because the TXdone handler is never called for those frames. This unknown will now be handled as neither success or failure, so we no longer increment the failure counter while this conclusion could not be determined from the real status of the frame.

* rt2x00: trim skb_frame_desc to 32 bytesIvo van Doorn2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove frame_type from skb_frame_desc and pass it as argument to rt2x00debug_dump_frame(). Change data_len and desc_len to unsigned short to save another 4 bytes in skb_frame_desc. Note that this was the only location where the data_len and desc_len was not yet treated as unsigned short. This trim is required to help mac80211 with adding the TX control and TX status informtation into the skb->cb structure. When that happens, drivers will have approximately 40 bytes left to use freely. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* bnx2: Allow phy reset to be skipped during chip reset.Michael Chan2008-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> found that netconsole would panic when resetting bnx2 devices. >From Andy: "The issue is the bnx2_set_link in bnx2_init_nic will print a link-status message before we are fully initialized and ready to start polling. Polling is currently disabled in this state, but since the __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED is overloaded to not only try and disable polling but also to make the system aware there is something waiting to be polled, we really have to fix this in drivers. The problematic call is the one to netif_rx_complete as it tries to remove an entry from the poll_list when there isn't one." While this netconsole problem should be fixed separately, we really should not reset the PHY when changing ring sizes, MTU, or other similar settings.

| * ath5k: Fix loop variable initializationsBob Copeland2008-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In ath5k_tasklet_rx, both status structures 'rxs' and 'rs' are initialized at the top of the tasklet, but not within the loop. If the loop is executed multiple times in the tasklet then the variables may see changes from previous packets. For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets are processed in the tasklet: rxs.flag gets set to RX_DECRYPTED by mac80211 when it decrypts the first encrypted packet. The subsequent packet will have RX_DECRYPTED set upon entry to mac80211, so mac80211 will not try to decrypt it. We currently initialize all but two fields in the structures, so fix the other two.

| * iwl3945: do not delay hardware scan if it is a direct scanBill Moss2008-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | iwl3945 <---> mac80211 <----> wpa_supplicant <---> NetworkManager When a hardware scan is completed and another scan is requested in less than two seconds, iwlwifi will not do the second scan and will pass the error code -EAGAIN back to mac80211 where it quickly dies. The error code is not passed along to the calling program wpa_supplicant. After a timeout, wpa_supplicant will just give up but it will not know why the scan failed. This is a weakness in the design. I ran into this issue when I was trying to figure out why it takes more an a minute for NetworkManager to connect after Networking has been disabled and then re-enabled. I found a good deal of unnecessary work being done because mac80211 requests authentication when the interface is not configured, the ANY mode. I created an experimental passive (NOTANY) mode for mac80211 to eliminate this case. Then NetworkManager became so fast that I ran into the iwlwifi 2 second delay next scan issue which we are discussing. The patch resolves the problem by bypassing the delay if the scan request is a direct scan. It should do less harm to the hardware.

Many don't, but one of the especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different CPUs at the same time. Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this is safe. It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be very simple using the new static inline functions this patch introduces for accessing sta->flags. Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which is in a bh context.
