Reinette Chatre b7a794048f iwlwifi: fix 3945 ucode info retrieval after failure
When hardware or uCode problem occurs driver captures significant
information from device to enable debugging. The format of this information
is different between 3945 and 4965 and later devices, yet currently the
3945 uses the 4965 and later format. Fix this by adding a new library call
that is initialized to the correct formatting routine based on device.

This moves the iwlagn event and error log handling back to iwl-agn.c to
make it part of iwlagn module.

Also remove the 3945 sysfs file that triggers dump of event log - there is
already a debugfs file that can do it for all drivers.

Reinette Chatre 2fac9717a0 iwlwifi: fix debugfs buffer handling
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.

Issue was discovered and discussed during testing of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464598 .

Reinette Chatre f82a924cc8 iwlwifi: reduce noise when skb allocation fails
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

This addresses issue reported upstream in thread "iwlagn: order 2 page
allocation failures" in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/39187

Reinette Chatre bba98871c6 iwlwifi: do not send sync command while holding spinlock
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.

Johannes Berg 96d8c6af24 iwlwifi: disable powersave for 4965
There's a bug in 4965 powersave that appears to
be related to the way it keeps track of its data
during sleep, but we haven't found it yet. Due to
that, using powersave may spontaneously cause the
device to SYSASSERT when transitioning from sleep
to wake. Therefore, disable powersave for 4965,
until (if ever, unfortunately) we can identify
and fix the problem.

Cf. http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1982

Reinette Chatre de0bd50845 iwlwifi: fix potential rx buffer loss
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.

Reinette Chatre af472a953e iwl3945: reduce debug noise when default debug flags used
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.

Johannes Berg 4c561a0229 iwlwifi: use sleep interval succession
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.

Daniel C Halperin 31513be8a0 iwlwifi: use iwl_hwrate_get_mac80211_idx where appropriate
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).

Daniel C Halperin b58ef214b7 iwlwifi: remove incorrect uses of ieee80211_get_tx_rate to prevent TX stall
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.

("iwlwifi: clean up unused NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR for Monitor mode")
broke injection of non-broadcast frames to unassociated stations
(causing a SYSASSERT for all such injected frames), due to injected
frames no longer automatically getting a broadcast station ID assigned.
This patch restores the old behavior, fixing the aforementioned
regression.

Also, consistently check for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED instead of
iwl_is_monitor_mode in the TX path, as TX_CTL_INJECTED specifically
means that a given packet is coming from a monitor interface, while
iwl_is_monitor_mode only shows whether a monitor interface exists
on the device.

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter

things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that

callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.

A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this

Daniel C Halperin 396887a2b2 iwlwifi: fix erroneous use of iwl_rx_packet.len as a length
The field called 'len' in struct iwl_rx_packet is in fact not just a length
field but also includes some flags from the flow handler.  In several places
throughout the driver, this causes incorrect values to be interpreted as
lengths when the field is improperly masked.

In most situations the improper use is for debugging output, and simply results
in an erroneous message, such as:

[551933.070224] ieee80211 phy0: I iwl_rx_statistics Statistics notification received (480 vs -1367342620).

which should read '(480 vs 484)'.

In at least one case this could case bad things to happen:

void iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif(struct iwl_priv *priv,
                                      struct iwl_rx_mem_buffer *rxb)
{
        struct iwl_rx_packet *pkt = (struct iwl_rx_packet *)rxb->skb->data;
        IWL_DEBUG_RADIO(priv, "Dumping %d bytes of unhandled "
                        "notification for %s:\n",
                        le32_to_cpu(pkt->len), get_cmd_string(pkt->hdr.cmd));
        iwl_print_hex_dump(priv, IWL_DL_RADIO, pkt->u.raw, le32_to_cpu(pkt->len)
);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif);

Given the rampant misuse of this field without proper masking throughout the
driver (every use but one), this patch renames the field from 'len' to
'len_n_flags' to reduce confusion.  It also adds the proper masking when
this field is used as a length value.

Green-field mode should be configured in the HT station table.  This patch uses

Added the "ht_greenfield_support" field to struct iwl_cfg to replace the

Short guard interval support is a local per-station parameter not a global
per-NIC parameter.  (mac80211 will correctly remove SGI support from station
capabilities if the BSS does not permit it).  This patch removes the short GI
support bitfield from the global iwl_ht_info struct and properly uses
per-station HT capabilities during rate selection.

Daniel C Halperin 28bd723bba iwlwifi: configure HT40 channels in iwl_mac_config
As indicated by note in iwl_ht_conf, some HT parameters are set on association
(e.g., channel width) and some vary over time (HT protection mode) and per
station (e.g., short GI support).  The global parameters should be set in
iwl_mac_config and the local/varying parameters in iwl_ht_conf.

This patch moves the channel width configuration from iwl_ht_conf to
iwl_mac_config, and defers further cleanup of the local/global conflation for a
later patch.

This fixes a bug in using HT40 channels in some modes.

Daniel C Halperin 9f30e04e04 iwlwifi: refactor packet reception code
This patch fixes a number of issues in iwl_rx_reply_rx and
iwl_pass_packet_to_mac80211.  These issues stem from the complexities of
managing two different types of packet commands for different hardware.

- Unify code handling rx_phy_res in SKB or cached to eliminate redundancy and
remove potential NULL pointer accesses
- Replace magic number with proper constant
- Optimize functions by moving early exit conditions before computation
- Comment code and improve some variable names
- Remove redundant computation in iwl_pass_packet_to_mac80211 by passing in the
correct, already-computed arguments.

any one of the OTP blocks. If shadow RAM is disabled, we need to
traverse link list to find the last valid block, then start the EEPROM
image reading.

If OTP is not full, the valid block is the block _before_ the last block
on the link list; the last block on the link list is the empty block
ready for next OTP refresh/update.

If OTP is full, then the last block is the valid block to be used for

With EDCA and HCCA we have 16 potential tid values. This is accommodated by
mac80211, but iwlwifi only supports EDCA. With this implementation it is
thus possible for mac80211 to request a tid that will cause iwlwifi to read
outside array bounds. A similar problem exists if traffic is received in an
unsupported category.

We add error checking to catch these situations.

Johannes Berg e312c24cf8 iwlwifi: automatically adjust sleep level
Depending on required latency requested by pm_qos (via mac80211)
we can automatically adjust the sleep state. Also, mac80211 has
a user-visible dynamic sleep feature where we are supposed to
stay awake after sending/receiving frames to better receive
response frames to our packets, this can be integrated into the
sleep command.

Currently, and this patch doesn't change that yet, we default
to using sleep level 1 if PS is enabled. With a module parameter
to iwlcore, automatic adjustment to changing network latency
requirements can be enabled -- this isn't yet the default due
to requiring more testing.

The goal is to enable automatic adjustment and then go into the
deepest possible sleep state possible depending on the networking
latency requirements.

This patch does, however, enable IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS
to avoid the double-timer (one in software and one in the device)
when transmitting -- the exact timeout may be ignored but that is
not of big concern.

Note also that we keep the hard-coded power indices around for
thermal throttling -- the specification of that calls for using
the specified power levels. Those can also be selected in debugfs
to allow easier testing of such parameters.
