2011-04-30iwlagn: remove un-necessary debugfs callbackWey-Yi Guy

2011-04-30iwlagn: prefer BSS contextJohannes Berg
If an interface type changes from a type that is only supported on the PAN context (e.g. P2P GO) to a type that is supported on the BSS context, and the BSS context is not in use, then we need to use the BSS context instead of changing the device type within the context. To achieve this, refuse the type change, which causes a down/up cycle that will allocate the BSS context for the interface.

2011-04-30iwlagn: improve RXON checkingJohannes Berg
The current RXON checking doesn't verify that the channel is valid (or at least non-zero), so add that. Also, add a WARN() so we get a stacktrace, and capture a bitmask of errors in order to capture all necessary information in the warning itself (in case the previous messages are snipped off.)

2011-04-30iwlagn: remove spectrum measurement headerJohannes Berg
This header file isn't used, and if we ever need these definitions they shouldn't be added to a driver but rather to the common 802.11 include file that has all frame definitions.

2011-04-30iwlagn: use proper good CRC threshold behaviourJohannes Berg
New microcode versions use the good CRC threshold field differently, as a flag, and in that case we should set it to 1/0 instead of 1/65535 for an active/passive scan. The new behaviour is advertised by the uCode with a feature flag. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>

2011-04-30iwlagn: refactor restartJohannes Berg
The WoWLAN resume code will have to essentially do a restart, but without going through the work struct. To support that, refactor the restart by splitting out the preparation code into a new function.

2011-04-30iwlagn: introduce silent grabbing of NIC accessJohannes Berg
There are a few cases like the WoWLAN support I'm writing that require attempting to access the NIC when it is known that it might not be accessible, e.g. after the system woke up and the platform might have reset the device. To avoid messages in this case, introduce the new function iwl_grab_nic_access_silent(), it will only return an error status.

2011-04-30iwlagn: avoid hangs when restarting deviceJohannes Berg
If a device error happens while the uCode is being loaded or initialised, we will attempt to restart the device (which will likely fail again, but that's not the issue here). During this new restart, we turn off the device, but as the uCode failed to initialise it already is turned off. As a consequence, grabbing NIC access will fail and cause excessive messages and hangs. To fix this issue, introduce a new status bit and only attempt to reprogram the device when it isn't already disabled.

2011-04-29iwlagn: fix tx power initializationStanislaw Gruszka
Since commit f844a709a7d8f8be61a571afc31dfaca9e779621 Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Date: Fri Jan 28 16:47:44 2011 +0100 iwlwifi: do not set tx power when channel is changing we set device tx power during initialization to priv->tx_power_next, which itself is initialized to minimum power. That changed default behaviour of driver. Previously we initialized device to transmit at maximum available power by default. Patch change again to previous behaviour and cleanup tx power initialization. Fortunately this is not critical fix, as mac80211 layer setup tx power lately to 14dB, hence device does not operate at minimal transmit power all the time.

2011-04-29iwlagn: fix "Received BA when not expected"Stanislaw Gruszka
Need to use broadcast sta_id for management frames, otherwise we broke BA session in the firmware and get messages like that: "Received BA when not expected" or (on older kernels): "BA scd_flow 0 does not match txq_id 10" This fix regression introduced in 2.6.35 during station management code rewrite by: commit 2a87c26bbe9587baeb9e56d3ce0b4971bd777643 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Fri Apr 30 11:30:45 2010 -0700 iwlwifi: use iwl_find_station less Patch partially resolve: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16691 However, there are still 11n performance problems on 4965 and 5xxx devices that need to be investigated.

2011-04-25iwlwifi: fix possible data overwrite in hcmd callbackStanislaw Gruszka
My commit 3598e1774c94e55c71b585340e7dc4538f310e3f "iwlwifi: fix enqueue hcmd race conditions" move hcmd callback after command queue reclaim, to avoid call it with hcmd_lock.

2011-04-22iwlagn: remove hw_ready variableJohannes Berg
This variable is only ever checked right after the function that sets it, but the same function will also return the status, so we can pass it through instead of checking hw_ready later. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>
2011-04-22iwlagn: combine firmware code/dataJohannes Berg
On new hardware, ucode images always come in pairs: code and data. Therefore, combine the variables into an appropriate struct and use that when both code and data are needed. Also, combine allocation and copying so that we have less code in total. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>
2011-04-22iwlagn: implement synchronous firmware loadJohannes Berg
The current firmware loading mechanism in iwlwifi is very hard to follow, and thus hard to maintain. To make it easier, make the firmware loading synchronous. For now, as a side effect, this removes a number of retry possibilities we had. It isn't typical for this to fail, but if it does happen we restart from scratch which this also makes easier to do should it be necessary.

2011-04-22iwlagn: leave notification waits on firmware errorsJohannes Berg
When the firmware encounters an error while the driver is waiting for a notification, it will never get that notification. Therefore, instead of timing out, bail out on errors when waiting for notifications. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>
2011-04-22iwlagn: make iwlagn_wait_notification return error codeJohannes Berg
We're unlikely to care about the actual time spent waiting, so make the function return an error code which is less error prone in coding new uses. Also, while at it, mark __must_check. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>
2011-04-22iwlagn: extend notification wait functionJohannes Berg
A notification wait function is called with the command, but currently has no way of passing data back to the caller -- fix that by adding a void pointer to the function that can be used between the caller and the function.

2011-04-22iwlagn: refactor up pathJohannes Berg
Starting the device consists of many things, refactor out enabling the hardware and also return -ERFKILL when the rfkill signal is found to be asserted (which makes more sense anyway, but is also required now to make the __iwl_up function return right away.)

2011-04-22iwlagn: refactor down pathJohannes Berg

2011-04-22iwlagn: clean up some exit codeJohannes Berg
There's no point in running through iwl_down() when we never registered with mac80211, as it just cleans up internal structures that were never initialised in this case. Therefore we can also remove the special handling for this case from __iwl_down(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>
2011-04-22iwlagn: simplify error table readingJohannes Berg
The current code to read the error table header just hardcodes all the offsets, which is a bit hard to understand. We can read in the entire header (as much as we need) into a structure, and then take the data from there, which makes it easier to understand. To read a bigger blob we also don't need to grab NIC access for each word read, making the code more efficient.

2011-04-18iwlagn: use huge command for beaconJohannes Berg
When testing some new P2P code, Angie found that the driver might crash because the beacon command ended up being bigger than a regular command. This is quite obvious -- a normal command is limited to roughly 360 bytes but a beacon may be much larger of course. To fix this, use the huge command buffer.

2011-04-18iwlagn: verify that huge commands are synchronousJohannes Berg
Since huge commands all share a single buffer, there can only be a single one in flight at a time since otherwise they'd overwrite each other. This is true in the driver now, but it seems like a possible source of bugs, so add a test to verify that huge commands are always sent synchronously.

2011-04-18iwlagn: remove most BUG_ON instancesJohannes Berg
There are a number of things in the driver that may result in a BUG(), which is suboptimal since it's hard to get debugging information out of the driver in that case and the user experience is also not good :-) Almost all BUG_ON instances can be converted to WARN_ON with a few lines of appropriate error handling, so do that instead.
