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 5ed176e1c4 mac80211: make ieee80211_find_sta per virtual interface
Since we have a TODO item to make all station
management dependent on virtual interfaces, I
figured I'd start with pushing such a change
to drivers before more drivers start using the
ieee80211_find_sta() API with a hw pointer and
cause us grief later on.

For now continue exporting the old API in form
of ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw(), but discourage
its use strongly.

Reinette Chatre 62a9492618 iwl3945: store station rate scale information in mac80211 station structure
Currently the rate scale information is pointed to from the mac80211
station structure but since that is the only member we might as well make
it part of the structure. Also move the rate scaling initialization to the
init function, no need to do it when we allocate the structure. This fits
with how mac80211 deals with rate scaling information (it always calls init
after allocation) and makes it easier for us to later call initialization
directly.

Luis R. Rodriguez 4c6d4f5c33 mac80211: add helper for management / no-ack frame rate decision
All current rate control algorithms agree to send management and no-ack
frames at the lowest rate. They also agree to do this when sta
and the private rate control data is NULL. We add a hlper to mac80211
for this and simplify the rate control algorithm code.

Developers wishing to make enhancements to rate control algorithms
are for broadcast/multicast can opt to not use this in their
gate_rate() mac80211 callback.

Samuel Ortiz 8ccde88a87 iwl3945: Getting rid of the *39_rxon iwl_priv fields
The iwl_rxon_cmd is really just a iwl3945_rxon_cmd structure extension.
So, we can use the *_rxon fields from iwl_priv instead of the 3945 specific
ones (*39_rxon). We have to then be careful when submitting REPLY_RXON host
commands, since the command length as to be set according to the HW. As
another precaution the reserved4 and reserved5 fields are cleared before being
sent to the 3945.

With the *39_rxon removal, a lot of duplicated code can be removed from the
3945 code base.

same mode for both B and G mode as IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ which will cause
using invalid rate other than CCK in B only network. THis patch

Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control
API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of
net/mac80211/.

There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking,
we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to
do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control
algorithm or via new API.

Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we
will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right
now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before.

Johannes Berg ae17e98609 mac80211: move txrate_idx into RC algorithms
The sta_info->txrate_idx member isn't used by all RC algorithms
in the way it was intended to be used, move it into those that
require it (only PID) and keep track in the core code of which
rate was last used for reporting to userspace and the mesh MLME.

Johannes Berg 323ce79a9c mac80211: share sta->supp_rates
As more preparation for a saner rate control algorithm API,
share the supported rates bitmap in the public API.

Johannes Berg b7e3500881 mac80211: move last_txrate_idx into RC algorithms
This variable in sta_info is only used in a meaningful way
by the Intel RC algorithms, so move it into those.

Johannes Berg 05c914fe33 mac80211: use nl80211 interface types
There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its
own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and
simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need
to translate them any more now.

Johannes Berg e039fa4a41 mac80211: move TX info into skb->cb
This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.

A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

Johannes Berg 2e92e6f2c5 mac80211: use rate index in TX control
This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.

The rt2x00 driver update was done by Ivo, thanks.

Reinette Chatre 897e1cf29e iwlwifi: move rate registration to module load
Having rate registration during module load enables the use of
error checking as well as reliable registration/unregistration
pairing. Previously this was not possible as rate registration
was done during _probe where _probe could be run for more than
one device on the system.
