i2400m implements dynamic work allocation and queueing mechanism in
i2400_schedule_work(); however, this is only used for reset and
recovery which can be served equally well with preallocated per device
works.
Replace i2400m_schedule_work() with two work structs in struct i2400m.
These works are explicitly canceled when the device is released making
calls to flush_scheduled_work(), which is being deprecated,
unnecessary.

This patch adds an error recovery mechanism on TX path.
The intention is to bring back the device to some known state
whenever TX sees -110 (-ETIMEOUT) on copying the data to the HW FIFO.
The TX failure could mean a device bus stuck or function stuck, so
the current error recovery implementation is to trigger a bus reset
and expect this can bring back the device.
Since the TX work is done in a thread context, there may be a queue of TX works
already that all hit the -ETIMEOUT error condition because the device has
somewhat stuck already. We don't want any consecutive bus resets simply because
multiple TX works in the queue all hit the same device erratum, the flag
"error_recovery" is introduced to denote if we are ready for taking any
error recovery. See @error_recovery doc in i2400m.h.

The problem is only seen on SDIO interface since on USB, a bus reset would
really re-probe the driver, but on SDIO interface, a bus reset will not
re-enumerate the SDIO bus, so no driver re-probe is happening. Therefore,
on SDIO interface, the reset event should be still detected and handled by
dev_reset_handle().
Problem description:
Whenever a reboot barker is received during operational mode (i2400m->boot_mode == 0),
dev_reset_handle() is invoked to handle that function reset event.
dev_reset_handle() then sets the flag i2400m->boot_mode to 1 indicating the device is
back to bootmode before proceeding to dev_stop() and dev_start().
If dev_start() returns failure, a bus reset is triggered by dev_reset_handle().
The flag i2400m->boot_mode then remains 1 when the second reboot barker arrives.
However the interrupt service routine i2400ms_rx() instead of invoking dev_reset_handle()
to handle that reset event, it filters out that boot event to bootmode because it sees
the flag i2400m->boot_mode equal to 1.
The fix:
Maintain the flag i2400m->boot_mode within dev_reset_handle() and set the flag
i2400m->boot_mode to 1 when entering dev_reset_handle(). It remains 1
until the dev_reset_handle() issues a bus reset. ie: the bus reset is
taking place just like it happens for the first time during operational mode.
To denote the actual device state and the state we expect, a flag i2400m->alive
is introduced in addition to the existing flag i2400m->updown.
It's maintained with the same way for i2400m->updown but instead of reflecting
the actual state like i2400m->updown does, i2400m->alive maintains the state
we expect. i2400m->alive is set 1 just like whenever i2400m->updown is set 1.
Yet i2400m->alive remains 1 since we expect the device to be up all the time
until the driver is removed. See the doc for @alive in i2400m.h.
An enumeration I2400M_BUS_RESET_RETRIES is added to define the maximum number of
bus resets that a device reboot can retry.
A counter i2400m->bus_reset_retries is added to track how many bus resets
have been retried in one device reboot. If I2400M_BUS_RESET_RETRIES bus resets
were retried in this boot, we give up any further retrying so the device would enter
low power state. The counter i2400m->bus_reset_retries is incremented whenever
dev_reset_handle() is issuing a bus reset and is cleared to 0 when dev_start() is
successfully done, ie: a successful reboot.

Currently the i2400m driver was resetting by just calling
i2400m->bus_reset(). However, this was missing stopping the TX queue
and downing the carrier. This was causing, for the corner case of the
driver reseting a device that refuses to go out of idle mode, that a
few packets would be queued and more than one reset would go through,
making the recovery a wee bit messy.
To avoid introducing the same cleanup in all the bus-specific driver,
introduced a i2400m_reset() function that takes care of house cleaning
and then calling the bus-level reset implementation.
The bulk of the changes in all files are just to rename the call from
i2400m->bus_reset() to i2400m_reset().

The i2400m might start sending reports to the driver before it is done
setting up all the infrastructure needed for handling them.
Currently we were just dropping them when the driver wasn't ready and
that is bad in certain situations, as the sync between the driver's
idea of the device's state and the device's state dissapears.
This changes that by implementing a queue for handling
reports. Incoming reports are appended to it and a workstruct is woken
to process the list of queued reports.
When the device is not yet ready to handle them, the workstruct is not
woken, but at soon as the device becomes ready again, the queue is
processed.
As a consequence of this, i2400m_queue_work() is no longer used, and
thus removed.

Since the addition of the pre/post reset handlers, it became clear
that we cannot do a I2400M-RT-BUS type reset while holding the
init_mutex, as in the case of USB, it will deadlock when trying to
call i2400m_pre_reset().
Thus, the following changes:
- clarify the fact that calling bus_reset() w/ I2400M_RT_BUS while
holding init_mutex is a no-no.
- i2400m_dev_reset_handle() will do a BUS reset to recover a gone
device after unlocking init_mutex.
- in the USB reset implementation, when cold and warm reset fails,
fallback to QUEUING a usb reset, not executing a USB reset, so it
happens from another context and does not deadlock.

The USB stack can callback a driver is about to be reset by an
external entity and right after it, so the driver can save state and
then restore it.
This commit implements said support; it is implemented actually in the
core, bus-generic driver [i2400m_{pre,post}_reset()] and used by the
bus-specific drivers. This way the SDIO driver can also use it once
said support is brought to the SDIO stack.

After the introduction of i2400m->bus_setup/release, there is no more
race condition where the bootmode buffers are needed before
i2400m_setup() is called.
Before, the SDIO driver would setup RX before calling i2400m_setup()
and thus need those buffers; now RX setup is done in
i2400m->bus_setup(), which is called by i2400m_setup().
Thus, all the bootmode buffer management can now be done completely
inside i2400m_setup()/i2400m_release(), removing complexity from the
bus-specific drivers.

The SDIO subdriver of the i2400m requires certain steps to be done
before we do any acces to the device, even for doing firmware upload.
This lead to a few ugly hacks, which basically involve doing those
steps in probe() before calling i2400m_setup() and undoing them in
disconnect() after claling i2400m_release(); but then, much of those
steps have to be repeated when resetting the device, suspending, etc
(in upcoming pre/post reset support).
Thus, a new pair of optional, bus-specific calls
i2400m->bus_{setup/release} are introduced. These are used to setup
basic infrastructure needed to load firmware onto the device.
This commit also updates the SDIO subdriver to use said calls.

The i2400m driver uses two different bits to distinguish how much the
driver is up. i2400m->ready is used to denote that the infrastructure
to communicate with the device is up and running. i2400m->updown is
used to indicate if 'ready' and the device is up and running, ready to
take control and data traffic.
However, all this was pretty dirty and not clear, with many open spots
where race conditions were present.
This commit cleans up the situation by:
- documenting the usage of both bits
- setting them only in specific, well controlled places
(i2400m_dev_start, i2400m_dev_stop)
- ensuring the i2400m workqueue can't get in the middle of the
setting by flushing it when i2400m->ready is set to zero. This
allows the report hook not having to check again for the bit to be
set [rx.c:i2400m_report_hook_work()].
- using i2400m->updown to determine if the device is up and running
instead of the wimax state in i2400m_dev_reset_handle().
- not loosing missed messages sent by the hardware before
i2400m->ready is set. In rx.c, whatever the device sends can be
sent to user space over the message pipes as soon as the wimax
device is registered, so don't wait for i2400m->ready to be set.

Currently the i2400m driver was starting in a weird way: registering a
network device, setting the device up and then registering a WiMAX
device.
This is an historic artifact, and was causing issues, a some early
reports the device sends were getting lost by issue of the wimax_dev
not being registered.
Fix said situation by doing the wimax device registration in
i2400m_setup() after network device registration and before starting
thed device.
As well, removed spurious setting of the state to UNINITIALIZED;
i2400m.dev_start() does that already.

When the i2400m device needs to wake up an idle WiMAX connection, it
schedules a workqueue job to do it.
Currently, only when the network stack called the _stop() method this
work struct was being cancelled. This has to be done every time the
device is stopped.
So add a call in i2400m_dev_stop() to take care of such cleanup, which
is now wrapped in i2400m_net_wake_stop().

In preparation for a reset_resume implementation, have the firmware
image be cached in memory when the system goes to suspend and released
when out.
This is needed in case the device resets during suspend; the driver
can't load firmware until resume is completed or bad deadlocks
happen.
The modus operandi for this was copied from the Orinoco USB driver.
The caching is done with a kobject to avoid race conditions when
releasing it. The fw loader path is altered only to first check for a
cached image before trying to load from disk. A Power Management event
notifier is register to call i2400m_fw_cache() or i2400m_fw_uncache()
which take care of the actual cache management.

The SBCF firmware format has been extended to support extra headers
after the main payload. These extra headers are used to sign the
firmware code with more than one certificate. This eases up
distributing single code images that work in more than one SKU of the
device.
The changes to support this feature will be spread in a series of
commits. This one just adds the support to parse the extra headers and
store them in i2400m->fw_hdrs. Coming changes to the loader code will
use that to determine which header to upload to the device.
The i2400m_fw_check() function now iterates over all the headers and
for each, calls i2400m_fw_hdr_check(), which does some basic checks on
each header. It then stores the headers for the bootloader code to use.
The i2400m_dev_bootstrap() function has been modified to cleanup
i2400m->fw_hdrs when done.

This modifies the bootrom initialization code of the i2400m driver so
it can more easily support upcoming hardware.
Currently, the code detects two types of barkers (magic numbers) sent
by the device to indicate the types of firmware it would take (signed
vs non-signed).
This schema is extended so that multiple reboot barkers are
recognized; upcoming hw will expose more types barkers which will have
to match a header in the firmware image before we can load it.
For that, a barker database is introduced; the first time the device
sends a barker, it is matched in the database. That gives the driver
the information needed to decide how to upload the firmware and which
types of firmware to use. The database can be populated from module
parameters.
The execution flow is not altered; a new function
(i2400m_is_boot_barker) is introduced to determine in the RX path if
the device has sent a boot barker. This function is becoming heavier,
so it is put away from the hot reception path [this is why there is
some reorganization in sdio-rx.c:i2400ms_rx and
usb-notifc.c:i2400mu_notification_grok()].
The documentation on the process has also been updated.
All these modifications are heavily based on previous work by Dirk
Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@intel.com>.

In i2400m-based devices, the driver's bootloader will retry to load

Different models of the i2400m device supported by this driver require

The code that sets up the i2400m (firmware load and general driver
setup after it) includes a couple of retry loops.
The SDIO device sometimes can get in more complicated corners than the
USB one (due to its interaction with other SDIO functions), that
require trying a few more times.
To solve that, without having a failing USB device taking longer to be
considered dead, allow the retry counts to be specified by the

The i2400m driver waits for the device to report being ready for
entering power save before asking it to do so. This module parameter
allows control of said operation; if disabled, the driver won't ask
the device to enter power save mode.
This is useful in setups where power saving is not so important or
when the overhead imposed by network reentry after power save is not
acceptable; by combining this with parameter 'idle_mode_disabled', the
driver will always maintain both the connection and the device in
active state.

The WiMAX i2400m driver needs to generate a fake source MAC address to
fake an ethernet header (for destination, the card's MAC is
used). This is the source of the packet, which is the basestation it
came from. The basestation's mac address is not usable for this, as it
uses its own namespace and it is not always available.
Currently the fake source MAC address was being set to all zeros,
which was causing trouble with bridging.

Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information.
When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has
to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held
packets have to be released to the OS.
This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission
support when missing frames are detected.
The code docs provide details about the implementation.
In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with
the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information
in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations
are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the
networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws
and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on
the window start for the specific queue.
The modifications to files other than rx.c are:
- control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support
if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled
- driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call
i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder
support.
- i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for
implementing reorder support.
- linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions
related to RX reorder
Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log
where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in
case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost
impossible.

Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).
However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.
- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.
- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().
- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
stack.
- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while
connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or
rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when
data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived.
This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be
idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs
interace.
It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module
variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version
(upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3).
The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is

In order to support backwards compatibility with older firmwares when
a driver is updated by a new kernel release, the i2400m bus drivers
can declare a list of firmware files they can work with (in general
these will be each a different version). The firmware loader will try
them in sequence until one loads.
Thus, if a user doesn't have the latest and greatest firmware that a
newly installed kernel would require, the driver would fall back to
the firmware from a previous release.
To support this, the i2400m->bus_fw_name is changed to be a NULL
terminated array firmware file names (and renamed to bus_fw_names) and
we add a new entry (i2400m->fw_name) that points to the name of the
firmware being currently used. All code that needs to print the
firmware file name uses i2400m->fw_name instead of the old
i2400m->bus_fw_name.
The code in i2400m_dev_bootstrap() that loads the firmware is changed
with an iterator over the firmware file name list that tries to load
each form user space, using the first one that succeeds in
request_firmware() (and thus stopping the iteration).
The USB and SDIO bus drivers are updated to take advantage of this and
reflect which firmwares they support.

This is a one liner change to have the driver use by default the v1.4
of the i2400m firmware instead of v1.3. The v1.4 version of the
firmware has been submitted to David Woodhouse for inclusion in the
linux-firmware tree and it is already available at
http://linuxwimax.org/Download.
The reason for this change is that the 1.3 release of the user space
software and firmware has a few issues that will make it difficult to
use with currently deployed commercial networks such as Xohm and
Clearwire.
As well, the new 1.4 release of the user space software (which matches
the 1.4 firmware) has intermitent issues with the 1.3 firmware.
The 1.4 release in http://linuxwimax.org/Download has been widely
deployed and tested with the codebase in 2.6.29-rc, the 1.4 firmware
and the 1.4 user space components.
We understand it is quite late in the rc process for such a change,
but would like to ask for the change to be taken into consideration.
Alternatively, a user could always force feed a 1.4 firmware into a
driver that doesn't have this modification by:
$ cd /lib/firmware
$ mv i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.real.sbcf
$ ln -sf i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbc i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf

The wimax/i2400m.h defines the structures and constants for the
host-device protocols:
- boot / firmware upload protocol
- general data transport protocol
- control protocol
It is done in such a way that can also be used verbatim by user space.
drivers/net/wimax/i2400m.h defines all the APIs used by the core,
bus-generic driver (i2400m) and the bus specific drivers
(i2400m-BUSNAME). It also gives a roadmap to the driver
implementation.
debug-levels.h adds the core driver's debug settings.
