Johannes Berg ff0d91c3ee iwlwifi: reduce memory allocation
Currently, the driver allocates up to 19 skb pointers
for each TFD, of which we have 256 per queue. This
means that for each TX queue, we allocate 19k/38k
(an order 4 or 5 allocation on 32/64 bit respectively)
just for each queue's "txb" array, which contains only
the SKB pointers.

However, due to the way we use these pointers only the
first one can ever be assigned. When the driver was
initially written, the idea was that it could be
passed multiple SKBs for each TFD and attach all
those to implement gather DMA. However, due to
constraints in the userspace API and lack of TCP/IP
level checksumming in the device, this is in fact not
possible. And even if it were, the SKBs would be
chained, and we wouldn't need to keep pointers to
each anyway.

Change this to only keep track of one SKB per TFD,
and thereby reduce memory consumption to just one
pointer per TFD, which is an order 0 allocation per
transmit queue.

the access can sleep then copy the needed station
information to the stack to be accessed without risk of
it changing while access in progress.

When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the
expected_ack_count also drops.  At the same time, the aggregated
ba_timeout (the number of ba timeout retries) also rises.  If the
actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count ratio is 0 and the number of ba
timeout retries rises to BA_TIMEOUT_MAX, no tx packets can be delivered.
Reloading the uCode and bring the system back to normal operational
state.

Wey-Yi Guy b74e31a9bc iwlwifi: Recover TX flow stall due to stuck queue
Monitors the internal TX queues periodically.  When a queue is stuck
for some unknown conditions causing the throughput to drop and the
transfer is stop, the driver will force firmware reload and bring the
system back to normal operational state.

The iwlwifi devices behave differently in this regard so this feature is
made part of the ops infrastructure so we can have more control on how to
monitor and recover from tx queue stall case per device.

Reinette Chatre fe6b23dd36 iwlwifi: implement new mac80211 station add/remove calls
mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.

This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

Johannes Berg edc1a3a090 iwlwifi: clean up queue/fifo handling
4965 hardware has 7 queues reserved and the
remaining ones used for aggregation, 5000
and higher need to have 10 reserved. This
is not very clear in the code right now,
unfortunately.

Introduce a new IWL_TX_FIFO_UNUSED constant
and make the queue/FIFO mapping arrays able
to hold that value, and change the setup
code to reserve all queues in the arrays
(the queue number is the index) and use the
new unused constant to not map those queues
to any FIFO.

Additionally, clear up the AC/queue mapping
code to be more understandable. The mapping
is the identity mapping right now, but with
the mapping function I think it's easier to
understand what happens there.

Finally, HCCA isn't implemented at all and
I think newer microcode removed it, so let's
remove all mention of it in the code, some
comments remain for 4965.

Johannes Berg 72e15d71b0 iwlwifi: change WEP key protection to use mutex
For later station notification support we would like WEP key setting to be
done synchronously always. Currently all places from which WEP key is set
can sleep, but the usage of sta_lock prevents it to do so. Modify the
locking to use priv->mutex instead and thus enable this call to sleep.
