Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Benoit PAPILLAULT 7f4013f096 zd1211rw: Fix TX status reporting in order to have proper rate control
First, we reduce the number of hardware retries to 0 (ie 2 real retries
for each rate). Next, when we report the retries to mac80211, we always
report a retry count of 1 (it seems to be 2 in fact, but using 2 seems
to lead to wrong performance for some reason). We use a state machine to
determine the real fate of a packet based on the 802.11 ACK and what the
Zydas hardware is saying when a real retry occurs. The real retry rates
are encoded in a static array. It has been tested with both zd1211 and
zd1211b hardware. Of course, since the Zydas hardware is not reporting
retries accurately, we are just doing our best in order to get the best
performance (ie higher throughput).

The previously unused CR_CAM_MODE register is set to MODE_AP_WDS. This makes the
driver ack mesh (WDS) frames. It does not affect Infra functionality of the

Previously missing beaconing support has been added. This might also help

Johannes Berg 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.

Ulrich Kunitz 64f222cce2 [PATCH] zd1211rw: consistent handling of ZD1211 specific rates
As pointed out by Daniel Drake, the zd1211rw driver used several
different rate values and names throughout the driver. He has
written a patch to change it and tweaked it after some pretty wild
ideas from my side. But the discussion helped me to understand the
problem better and I think I have nailed it down with this patch.

A zd-rate will consist from now on of a four-bit "pure" rate value
and a modulation type flag as used in the ZD1211 control set used
for packet transmission. This is consistent with the usage in the
zd_rates table. If possible these zd-rates should be used in the
code.

Daniel Drake 74553aedd4 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Defer firmware load until first ifup
While playing with the firmware a while back, I discovered a way to
access the device's entire address space before the firmware has been
loaded.

Previously we were loading the firmware early on (during probe) so that
we could read the MAC address from the EEPROM and register a netdevice.
Now that we can read the EEPROM without having firmware, we can defer
firmware loading until later while still reading the MAC address early
on.

This has the advantage that zd1211rw can now be built into the kernel --
previously if this was the case, zd1211rw would be loaded before the
filesystem is available and firmware loading would fail.

Firmware load and other device initialization operations now happen the
first time the interface is brought up.

Some architectural changes were needed: handling of the is_zd1211b flag
was moved into the zd_usb structure, MAC address handling was obviously
changed, and a preinit_hw stage was added (the order is now: init,
preinit_hw, init_hw).

Daniel Drake aaf83d4fc4 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Make CCK gain patching conditional on RF type
The vendor driver code suggests that CR47 patching happens on every channel
change for every RF (depending on bit 8 in POD).

Due to a bug in their driver (upper bits of RF_Mode get zeroed out, then
are examined for 1s when setting some other flags), this isn't actually
what happens, and their generic CCK patching routine never takes effect.

Some of their RF configurations do include explicit (duplicated) code
for CR47 patching though. This patch makes zd1211rw match that
behaviour.

Daniel Drake 0ce34bc8f7 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Remove addressing abstraction
Instead of passing our own custom 32-bit addresses around and
translating them, this patch makes all our register address constants
absolute and removes the translation.

There are two ugly parts:
 - fw_reg_addr() is needed to compute addresses of firmware registers, as this
   is dynamic based upon firmware
 - inc_addr() needs a small hack to handle byte vs word addressing

However, both of those are only small, and we don't use fw_regs a whole
lot anyway.

The bonuses here include simplicity and improved driver readability. Also, the
fact that registers are now referenced by 16-bit absolute addresses (as
opposed to 32-bit pseudo addresses) means that over 2kb compiled code size has
been shaved off.

Includes some touchups and sparse fixes from Ulrich Kunitz.

Daniel Drake b1382edef9 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Use softmac ERP handling functionality
This adds zd1211rw driver support for the softmac functionality I
added a while back. We now obey changes in basic rates, use short
preamble if it is available (but long if the AP says it's not),
and send self-CTS in the proper situations.

Locking fixed and improved by Ulrich Kunitz.

Ulrich Kunitz 583afd1e4f [PATCH] zd1211rw: Add LED support
This patch includes a big cleanup of the existing unused LED code,
and adds support for controlling the LED.

The link LED will blink if the device is not associated. The LED
switches between 2 seconds on and 1 second off. If the device is
associated the LED is switched on.

The link LED also indicates packet TX. I do a little bit more led
resetting than the vendor driver, but the device works now as
expected for single LED and double LED devices.

Ulrich Kunitz 44976c66bb [PATCH] zd1211rw: Removes wrong assertions
Checking whether a mutex is not locked directly before
mutex_lock() is called, doesn't make sense. The whole point of
mutex_lock() is to block, if the mutex is locked.

Caused by a documentation issue I mixed up fields of the zd_status

Ulrich Kunitz c48cf12514 [PATCH] zd1211rw: cleanups
Add static to 2 internal functions. Thanks goes to Adrian Bunk, who found that.

Also made some modifications to the clear functions:

After a discussion on the mailing list, I implemented this code to
have on the one hand sufficient test in debug mode, but on the
other hand reduce the overhead for structure clearing to a
minimum.

A new macro ZD_MEMCLEAR is introduced, which produces code if
DEBUG is set. Locks are not set anymore for structure clearing,
but in debug mode, there is a verification, that the locks have
not been set.

Finally, removed a misleading comment regarding locking in the disconnect
path.

Daniel Drake e85d0918b5 [PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driver
There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS
ZD1211 chip.

Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most
data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits
alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver
currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed
products which we will be supporting soon.

Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The
initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.

This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.

This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!

We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite

If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).
