7050ec821c rt2x00: Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc()
Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() up into a TX descriptor initializor
and TX descriptor writer.

This split is required to properly allow mac80211 to move its
tx_control structure into the skb->cb array.
The rt2x00queue_create_tx_descriptor() function will read all tx control
information and convert it into a rt2x00 TX descriptor information structure.
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.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_descriptor() will be in charge of really sending
the TX descriptor to the hardware and kicking the TX queue.

61448f8807 rt2x00: Fix queue related oops in case of deselected mac80211 multi-queue 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.

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

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.

5a6e59991b rt2x00: trim skb_frame_desc to 32 bytes
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.

566bfe5a8b mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

ed499983b8 rt2x00: Fix broken recover-on-error path
During initialization the initialize() callback function
in rt2x00pci and rt2x00usb will cleanup the mess they made.

rt2x00lib shouldn't call uninitialize because the callback function already
cleaned up _and_ the DEVICE_INITIALIZED isn't set which causes the
rt2x00lib_uninitialize() to halt directly anyway. All that is required
to be cleaned up by rt2x00lib is the queue, and that can be done by
calling rt2x00queue_uninitialize() directly.

9896322ae1 rt2x00: Ignore set_state(STATE_SLEEP) failure
Some hardware never seem to accept the "goto sleep" command, since the legacy
drivers don't have suspend and resume handlers the entire code for it was
basically a educated guess (based on the "enable radio" code).
This patch will only print a warning when the "goto sleep" command fails, and
just continues as usual. Perhaps that means the device will not reach a sleep
state and consumes more power then it should, but it is equally possible it
simply needs some seconds longer to sleep. Anyway, by making the command
non-fatal it will not block the rest of the suspend procedure.

866a050384 rt2x00: Fix rate detection for invalid signals
It has been observed on rt2500pci hardware that some
frames received with signal 0x0C do not have the OFDM
flag set.

Signals can have 2 meanings:
 1) The PLCP value
 2) The bitrate * 10

For rt2500pci (1) is for frames received with a OFDM rate,
and (2) is for frames received with a CCK rate.
But 0x0C is a invalid bitrate value but is a valid PLCP
value for 54Mbs (obvious OFDM rate).
This means that it is possible that the hardware does not
set the OFDM bit correctly under all circumstances.
This results in rt2x00 failing to detect the rate and
mac80211 triggering a WARN_ON() and dropping the frame.

To bypass this, print a warning when such a frame is received,
and reset the rate to the lowest supported rate for the current band.

89993890ae rt2x00: Fix rt2400pci signal
After sampling hundreds of RX frame descriptors,
the results were conclusive:
- The Ralink documentation regarding the SIGNAL and RSSI are wrong.

It turns out that of the 5 BBR registers, we should not use BBR0 and BBR1
for SIGNAL and RSSI respectively, but actually BBR1 and BBR2.
BBR0 does show values, but the exact meaning remains unclear,
but they cannot be translated into a SIGNAL or RSSI field.
BBR3, BBR4 and BBR5 are always 0, so their meaning is unknown.

As it turns out, the reported SIGNAL is the PLCP value, this
in contradiction to what was expected looking at rt2500pci which
only reported the PLCP values for OFDM rates and bitrate values
for CCK rates.

This means we should let the driver raise the flag about the contents
of the SIGNAL field so rt2x00lib can always do the right thing based
on what the driver reports.

the led status. This can be enabled through a per-driver
configuration option which will automatically enable the
generic handler in rt2x00lib.

This has been enabled for rt2500usb and rt73usb for the moment
since the led class will call set_brightness in irq context which
will not work correctly with the usb drivers who need to sleep.

70e2fed4ec rt2x00: Rate structure overhaul
Recent changes to the rate structure registration broke rt2x00,
the hw_value was reduced from 32bits to 16bits while rt2x00 used
the full 32bits. However the way rt2x00 used the value was inflexible
and needed to be changed anyway.

This patch creates a array containing information for each rate,
the hw_value passed to mac80211 is the index value for that array
including a field to indicate if short preamble should be enabled.

8318d78a44 cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

6bb40dd13b rt2x00: Add per-interface structure
Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.

Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.

Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces

At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
will be very unlikely.

Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
mode interfaces are currently active.

The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
often called together since they all belong to the interface
configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
the configuration handler as well.

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.

This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for

This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is

when the BSS configuration changes.

This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following
new features:
 * drivers are notified of their association AID
 * drivers are notified of association status

and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does

As reported by Modestas Vainius, enabling rkfill in 1 driver and
disabling it in a second could cause a NULL pointer exception when
the rfkill-disabled driver still sets the CONFIG_SUPPORT_HW_BUTTON flag.

Furthermore, rfkill expects the timeout as a value in milliseconds
instead of jiffies. Also increase the timeout to a second,
since this 250ms would be overkill.

Also the flag DEVICE_ENABLED_RADIO_HW is causing problems
for devices which do not support the hardware button
while rfkill is enabled in the driver.

To remidy this we should inverse the flag and its meaning,
rename the flag to DEVICE_DISABLED_RADIO_HW this means that
by default the radio is enabled by the hardware button (if present)
and can only be disabled explicitely.

when shutting down the device. The remaining calls inside the
rt2x00lib_toggle_rx handler should deliver no problems when
called while the radio is done.

fdd0abc817 [PATCH] rt2x00: Fix panic on rmmod with rfkill enabled
When ieee80211_hw.config indicates that the radio
is enabled and is configuring options that require
the link tuner to be restarted the link tuner will
cause a kernel panic when rfkill has indicated the
radio was in fact disabled.

25ab002f94 [PATCH] rt2x00: Stop link tuning when radio is down
As pointed out by Modestas Vainius the link tuner
could continue working while the radio is already
down. This because at the start of disable_radio
the ENABLED_RADIO flag is cleared and causes the
toggle_rx to skip the stop_link_tuner() call.
This will add a check to the start of the link tuner
which will automatically stop the link tuner when the
radio is disabled.

3e30968e55 [PATCH] rt2x00: make rt2x00lib_stop_link_tuner() reentrant with link_tuner work
Calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() unconditionally won't hurt
and it will avoid race conditions when another CPU is already
executing link_tuner work.

The rt2x00dev->flags has become a chaos over time,
this will reorganize the flags by renaming, deleting, adding
and properly implement the flags.

725d99d466 [PATCH] rt2x00: Correct error in calculating rssi for link tuner
The call to rt2x00lib_precalculate_link_signal resets link.rx_success
which is needed when calculating the average rssi for the link
tuner. Change the call order so the link tuner runs first as it
doesn't need the result of the precalculate.

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).
