The iwlwifi drivers have LED blinking requirements that
mac80211 cannot fulfill due to the use of just a single
LED instead of different ones for TX, RX, radio etc.
Instead, the single LED blinks according to transfers
and is solid on the rest of the time. As such, having
LED class devices registered that mac80211 triggers are
connected to is pointless as we don't use the triggers
anyway.
Remove all the useless code and add hooks into the
driver itself. At the same time, make the LED code
abstracted so the core code that determines blink rate
etc. can be shared between 3945 and agn in iwlcore.
At the same time, the fact that we removed the use of
the mac80211 LED triggers means we can also remove the
IWLWIFI_LEDS Kconfig symbol since the LED support is
now self-contained.

When uCode detects critical temperature it should send "card state
notification" interrupt to driver and then shut itself down to prevent
overheating. There is a race condition where uCode shuts down before it
can deliver the interrupt to driver.
Additional method provided here for driver to enter CT_KILL state based
on temperature reading.
How it works:
Method 1:
If driver receive "card state notification" interrupt from uCode; it
enters "CT_KILL" state immediately
Method 2:
If the last temperature report by Card reach Critical temperature,
driver will send "statistic notification" request to uCode to verify the
temperature reading, if driver can not get reply from uCode within
300ms, driver will enter CT_KILL state automatically.
Method 3:
If the last temperature report by Card did not reach Critical
temperature, but uCode already shut down due to critical temperature.
All the host commands send to uCode will not get process by uCode;
when command queue reach the limit, driver will check the last reported
temperature reading, if it is within pre-defined margin, enter "CT_KILL"
state immediately. In this case, when uCode ready to exit from "CT_KILL" state,
driver need to restart the adapter in order to reset all the queues and
resume normal operation.
One additional issue being address here, when system is in CT_KILL
state, both tx and rx already stopped, but driver still can send host
command to uCode, it will flood the command queue since card was not
responding; adding STATUS_CT_KILL flag to reject enqueue host commands
to uCode if it is in CT_KILL state, when uCode is ready to come out of
CT_KILL, driver will clear the STATUS_CT_KILL bit and allow enqueue the host
commands to uCode to recover from CT_KILL state.

However, using a single chain doesn't actually have

Therefore, always instruct the microcode to use all

Today's implementation allow LED to blink based on the traffic
condition. We introduce an additional LED mode that reflects the RF
state.
The supported LED modes after this are:
IWL_LED_BLINK (current/default) - blink rate based on current Tx/Rx
traffic
IWL_LED_RF_STATE (new) -
LED OFF: No power/RF disabled, the LED is emitting no light
LED ON: Powered/RF enabled, the LED is emitting light
in a stable non-flashing state.
In order to provide the flexibility to support different LED
behavior per user/system preference we add "led_mode" iwlcore module

Current rate scale algorithm fluctuates between different MIMO modes fairly
rapidly, causing widely varying performance. These fluctuations occur because in
the rate_scale tables for expected throughput the values are not very different
for different modes.
However, when aggregation is turned on and MAC overhead is reduced, the
expected throughput for different MIMO modes grows and different modes have
vastly different performance. Add expected throughput tables for this case.
We also need to keep track of aggregation status per-station, so we add the
"is_agg" field to struct lq_sta.

When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.
The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.
When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.
By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.
For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

The chain settings we currently use in iwlwifi are
rather confusing -- and we also go by the wrong
settings entirely under certain circumstances. To
clean it up, create a new variable in the current
HT config -- single_chain_sufficient -- that tells
us whether we need more than one chain. Calculate
that based on the AP and operating mode (no IBSS
HT implemented -- so no need for multiple chains,
for station mode we use the AP's capabilities).
Additionally, since APs always send disabled SM PS
mode, keeping track of their sm_ps mode isn't very
useful -- doubly not so for our _own_ RX config
since that should depend on our, not the AP's, SM
PS mode.
Finally, document that our configuration of the
number of RX chains used is currently wrong when
in powersave (by adding a comment).
All together this removes the two remaining items
in struct iwl_ht_config that were done wrong there.
For the future, the number of RX chains and some
SM PS handshaking needs to be added to mac80211,
which then needs to tell us, and the new variable
current_ht_config.single_chain_sufficient should
also be calculated by mac80211.

We keep track of where to write into a buffer by keeping a count of how
much has been written so far. When writing to the buffer we thus take the
buffer pointer and adding the count of what has been written so far.
Keeping track of what has been written so far is done by incrementing
this number every time something is written to the buffer with how much has
been written at that time.
Currently this number is incremented incorrectly when using the
"hex_dump_to_buffer" call to add data to the buffer. Fix this by only
adding what has been added to the buffer in that call instead of what has
been added since beginning of buffer.

Replenishment of receive buffers is done in the tasklet handling
received frames as well as in a workqueue. When we are in the tasklet
we cannot sleep and thus attempt atomic skb allocations. It is generally
not a big problem if this fails since iwl_rx_allocate is always followed
by a call to iwl_rx_queue_restock which will queue the work to replenish
the buffers at a time when sleeping is allowed.
We thus add the __GFP_NOWARN to the skb allocation in iwl_rx_allocate to
reduce the noise if such an allocation fails while we still have enough
buffers. We do maintain the warning and the error message when we are low
on buffers to communicate to the user that there is a potential problem with
memory availability on system

commit 10c994ca70e8e94bbc85a5bf13de5911ee8de4d2 "iwlwifi: fix remove key
error" fixed an error reported by mac80211 during interface down. The fix
involved changing an async command to synchronous. Unfortunately this was
inside a spinlock section in which we cannot sleep.
Modify the sending of the command back to async. This causes the mac80211
error "mac80211-phy0: failed to remove key (0, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) from
hardware (-16)." to return. This error is not serious since this occurs
during interface down and the keys will be cleared anyway when ucode is
unloaded. Having this error message is thus less serious than a potential
deadlock introduced when sleeping while holding a spinlock. We will have to
find another fix for that error.
This is a revert of the abovementioned commit.

RX handling maintains a few lists that keep track of the RX buffers.
Buffers move from one list to the other as they are used, replenished, and
again made available for usage. In one such instance, when a buffer is used
it enters the "rx_used" list. When buffers are replenished an skb is
attached to the buffer and it is moved to the "rx_free" list. The problem
here is that the buffer is first removed from the "rx_used" list _before_ the
skb is allocated. Thus, if the skb allocation fails this buffer remains
removed from the "rx_used" list and is thus lost for future usage.
Fix this by first allocating the skb before trying to attach it to a list.
We add an additional check to not do this unnecessarily.

When we cleaned up the driver to properly tell mac80211 about HT rates
("iwlwifi: use iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx where appropriate"), we broke
internal rate indexing in 2.4 GHz band.

Significant literature suggests users use debug flags 0x43fff - this causes
the debug flags to be set that causes information to be printed for every
received frame - including beacons. In the best case it fills up the logs,
at worst it slows driver down and causes failures due to timeouts.
In the RX handler, print debugging only if user requested RX debugging.

3945 does not have update_chain_flags defined and because if this we always
see the debug message that does not apply to it. Add a check to be specific
about what is actually happening.

Some concerns were raised about the automatic adjustment
of sleep intervals to all the same, potentially high,
value, and I can imagine the hardware behaving better
when we don't ask too much of it.
So let's convert to use a succession of sleep levels
when requesting to go to deeper sleeps (which can only
happen with large DTIM intervals), using the succession
values from power level three, which have the benefit of
also having been tested extensively already.
As a result, the automatic sleep level adjustment will
now be mostly equivalent to power level three, except
for the RX/TX timeouts and possibly using smaller sleep
vectors to account for networking latency.

For HT packets, mac80211 expects the rate_idx to be an MCS number, which is the
lower byte of rate_n_flags. However, iwl_hwrate_to_plcp_idx takes the MCS
number and reduces it down to the range 0-8 (6 to 60 Mbps), removing the bits
that signify multiply streams, HT40 Duplicate mode, or unequal modulation.
This version is used for various internal purposes through the driver.
Add the function iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx, an alternate version which takes
the rate and the band and returns the mac80211 index (MCS, for HT packets, and
PLCP rate, for legacy packets).

Refactor and correct rate selection for outgoing transmitted
packets.
First, note that HT rates in the mac80211 rate table do not provide valid
indices when ieee80211_get_tx_rate is called; the check to see if we could to
abort a transmission early in iwl_tx_skb() would thus occasionally read invalid
memory and occasionally stall transmission (if the erroneous byte was 0xff).
We remove that code; the check wasn't valid anyway.
Second, iwl_tx_cmd_build_rate() also called ieee80211_get_tx_rate to be used
for sending management packets, which do not use the uCode station table. This
patch refactors that function and adds comments to enhance legibility, replaces
the call to ieee80211_get_tx_rate() with a direct lookup, and adds error
handling in case the table entry is invalid.

ieee80211_supported_band is supposed to only contain legacy rates in the
bitrates table (HT rates go in the ieee80211_sta_ht_cap substruct). Make
iwlwifi driver obey this restriction by removing the 60 Mbps rate. Also, clean
up a few pieces of other code that formerly relied on 60 Mbps being in
sband->bitrates.

The ICT IRQ table is a set of __le32 values, not u32 values,
so when reading it we need to take into account that it has
to be converted to CPU endianness. This was causing a lot of
trouble on my powerpc box where various things would simply
not work for no apparent reason with 5xxx cards, but worked
with 4965 -- which doesn't use the ICT table.

If NetworkManager is busy scanning when user
tries to unload the module, the driver can not be unloaded
because HW still scanning.
Make sure driver sends abort scan host command to uCode if it
is in the middle of scanning during driver unload.
