Gertjan van Wingerde 14a3bf8921 rt2x00: Convert rt2x00 to use generic DMA-mapping API
At the same time clean up the device administration a bit, by storing a pointer
to struct device instead of a void pointer that is dependent on the type of
device. The normal PCI and USB subsystem provided macros can be used to convert
the device pointer to the right type.
This makes the rt2x00 driver a bit more type-safe.

Gertjan van Wingerde a26cbc6508 rt2x00: Fix double usage of skb->cb in USB RX path.
It is not safe to use the skb->cb area for both the rxd and
skb_frame_desc data at the same time, while they occupy an overlapping
piece of memory. This can lead to hard to trace crashes as pointers
within skb_frame_desc are pointing into nowhere, or the rxd data is
overwritten with non-sense.

Fix it by copying the rxd to a small buffer on the stack.

Gertjan van Wingerde 239c249d06 rt2x00: Centralize RX packet alignment handling in rt2x00lib.
When rt2x00pci will be switched over to dynamically mapped skb's
instead of statically allocated DMA buffers, it no longer can handle
alignment of RX packets in a copy step, and needs to implement the
same scheme as rt2x00usb does.

In order to make the patch on dynamically mapped skb's smaller,
already centralize the alignment handling into rt2x00lib. This allows
us to move more code in rt2x00lib, and thus remove code duplication
between rt2x00usb and rt2x00pci.

Ivo van Doorn b869767b6f rt2x00: Don't kick TX queue after each frame
TX queues shouldn't be kicked after each frame that is put into the
queue.  This could cause problems during RTS and CTS-to-self as well
as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be
send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill
up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached,
will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame.

In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way
that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when
it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() up into a TX descriptor initializor

This split is required to properly allow mac80211 to move its

After that function is complete, we have all information we needed from the
tx control structure and are free to start writing into the skb->cb array
for our own purposes.

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.

Ivo van Doorn fb55f4d1fa rt2x00: Fix TX status reporting
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.

Ivo van Doorn f855c10b6e rt2x00: Align RX descriptor to 4 bytes
Some architectures give problems when reading
RX frame descriptor words when the descriptor
is not aligned on a 4 byte boundrary.

Due to optimalizations for the ieee80211 payload
4 byte alignment, it is no longer guarenteed
that the descriptor is placed on the 4 byte
boundrary (In fact, for rt73usb it is absolutely
never aligned to 4 bytes, for rt2500usb it depends
on the length of the payload).

This will copy the descriptor to a 4 byte aligned
location before it is read for the first time.
This will also move the payload data alignment
in rt2x00usb (instead of inside the driver) where
it has always belonged.

Ivo van Doorn 181d6902b6 rt2x00: Queue handling overhaul
This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
renames "ring" to "queues".

Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.

Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
system of the queue.

Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
code readability.

rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
structure.

rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.

Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect
beacon handling or beacon related code.

Ivo van Doorn e9136550eb [PATCH] rt2x00: Increase rt2x00usb_vendor_request timeout.
By increasing the timeout for rt2x00usb_vendor_request,
we should limit the number of loops required to send
a signal to the device succefully.
500ms timeout is specified by the Ralink legacy drivers
for rt2500usb. For rt73usb 1000ms is specified, but that
includes the timeout for the firmware which is already
specified in a different define.

Johannes Berg 4150c57212 [PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configuration
Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.

This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
FIF_ALLMULTI.

Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that
have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast
frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or
when the mc_count value is positive.

At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().

The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to all-ones.

Driver modifications by Johannes Berg (b43 & iwlwifi), Michael Wu
(rtl8187, adm8211, and p54), Larry Finger (b43legacy), and
Ivo van Doorn (rt2x00).
