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.

For 6x50 series, it is wimax/wifi combo device, so driver need to enable
the wimax/wifi co-exist function and send the coexist event priority
table to uCode for operation.
The priority table will be used by uCode to determine what is the proper
action it should take when co-exist with WiMAX.
For example, when WiFi runs a scan, it must own radio exclusively, therefore
will disconnect WiMAX if WiMAX is connected.

To save power, don't run apm_ops.init() until needed at "up" time.
EEPROM (5000 and earlier devices) may be read without running apm_ops.init(),
but OTP reads (6000 and newer devices) require a powered-up chip.
Therefore, remove apm_ops.init() from the general path in XXXX_pci_probe(),
and call it only if device uses OTP. Once done with OTP read, call
apm_ops.stop() to reset chip and save power until "up" time comes around.

This switches the iwlwifi driver to use paged skb from linear skb for Rx
buffer. So that it relieves some Rx buffer allocation pressure for the
memory subsystem. Currently iwlwifi (4K for 3945) requests 8K bytes for
Rx buffer. Due to the trailing skb_shared_info in the skb->data,
alloc_skb() will do the next order allocation, which is 16K bytes. This
is suboptimal and more likely to fail when the system is under memory
usage pressure. Switching to paged Rx skb lets us allocate the RXB
directly by alloc_pages(), so that only order 1 allocation is required.
It also adjusts the area spin_lock (with IRQ disabled) protected in the
tasklet because tasklet guarentees to run only on one CPU and the new
unprotected code can be preempted by the IRQ handler. This saves us from
spawning another workqueue to make skb_linearize/__pskb_pull_tail happy
(which cannot be called in hard irq context).
Finally, mac80211 doesn't support paged Rx yet. So we linearize the skb
for all the management frames and software decryption or defragmentation
required data frames before handed to mac80211. For all the other frames,
we __pskb_pull_tail 64 bytes in the linear area of the skb for mac80211
to handle them properly.

iwl_power_initialize() initializes driver data (not device hardware), and does
not need to execute more than once (when the driver initializes). Therefore, it
does not belong in iwl3945_apm_init(), which initializes hardware, and may run
more than once.
Move it to iwl3945_pci_probe(), where it will run only once. This agrees
with similar placement in iwl-agn.c's iwl_pci_probe(), although placement
under "services" seemed more appropriate than under "mac80211".

The sleep_level_override debugfs file is used by the user to request a
static power index instead of the dynamic sleep values. Users are expected
to provide value from 1 to 5 as an index or -1 to disable it.
The problem at the moment is that users can also provide 0 to this file
which, together with the value 1, is translated to index 1. This is
confusing and even more so when users write 0 to sleep_level_override and
then read 1 from it afterwards.

In some cases (e.g. when mac80211 calls iwl_mac_stop() for suspend or user
no longer wants device active), device has not been going into low power state
via __iwl_down(). apm_ops.reset() does not put device into low power state;
instead it resets the device, then puts it into a powered-up state ready to be
re-loaded with uCode and re-started. This has needlessly warmed up user's
laptops and drained batteries.
With current architecture in which mac80211 controls device up/down (including
resetting device after firmware errors), there is no need for apm_ops.reset()
any more; apm_ops.reset() is basically a combination of apm_ops.stop() and
apm_ops.init().
Instead, __iwl_down() now unconditionally places the device into a low-power
state via apm_ops.stop(). Device may be re-started via __iwl_up() calling
apm_ops.init() as soon as it may be needed (e.g. quickly for firmware errors),
but in the meantime, device will stop wasting energy.
Note that, even in this low power state, if driver re-enables interrupts,
the device retains the ability to sense the hardware RF-KILL switch, and
(except for 3945) interrupt the host when it changes.

Both 1000 & 6000 series NICs contain on-chip OTP memory that
replaces the off-chip EEPROM memory. The nature of OTP means
there is a limited number of times a particular board can go through the
factory flow and be (re)calibrated. As a consequence there will be some boards
that contain EEPROM memory because OTP blocks were full.
In the signature validation routine, iwlwifi needs to make sure

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.

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

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

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.

The address stored in the next link address is a word address but when
reading the OTP blocks, a byte address is used. Also if the blocks are
full and the last link pointer is not zero, then none of the blocks are
valid so return an error.
The algorithm is simply valid blocks have a next address and that
address's contents is zero.
Using the wrong address for the next link address gets arbitrary data,
obviously. In cases seen, the first block is considered valid when it is not.
If the block has in fact been invalidated there may be old data or
there may be no data, bad data, or partial data, there is no way of
telling. Without this patch it is possible that a device with valid OTP data
is unable to work.

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.

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.

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.

broke injection of non-broadcast frames to unassociated stations

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

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
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,

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.
