7fd96ce47f mv643xx_eth: rework receive skb cache alignment
On the platforms that mv643xx_eth is used on, the manual skb->data
alignment logic in mv643xx_eth can be simplified, as the only case we
need to handle is where NET_SKB_PAD is not a multiple of the cache
line size.  If this is the case, the extra padding we need can be
computed at compile time, while if NET_SKB_PAD _is_ a multiple of
the cache line size, the code can be optimised out entirely.

94c7f2d495 wimax: oops: wimax_dev_add() is the only one that can initialize the state
When a new wimax_dev is created, it's state has to be __WIMAX_ST_NULL
until wimax_dev_add() is succesfully called. This allows calls into
the stack that happen before said time to be rejected.

Until now, the state was being set (by mistake) to UNINITIALIZED,
which was allowing calls such as wimax_report_rfkill_hw() to go
through even when a call to wimax_dev_add() had failed; that was
causing an oops when touching uninitialized data.

This situation is normal when the device starts reporting state before
the whole initialization has been completed. It just has to be dealt
with.

7c5a189dc6 p54: call p54_wake_free_queues on every p54_free_skb and p54_rx_frame_sent
Currently queues are stopped when their length reaches their length limit,
but are restarted only when the size of freed range of packet buffer is
not less than the size of the largest possible packet.

This causes permanent queue stop on radio visibility loss in the middle
of ping series: there is plenty of room in the packet buffer, but it is
never freed more than 3 (size of 'best effort' queue) * 288 (ping packet
plus headers) bytes at once.

aec6795210 mac80211: Comment the order of HT RX reorder handler vs. RX handlers
We are currently processing block ack reordering as a separate task
before all other RX handlers. In theory, this is wrong since this step
should be done only after duplicate removal (see Figure 6-1 in IEEE
802.11n). However, moving this needs some work and the current
situation is not too bad. Add a comment here so that this small detail
does not get forgotten and who knows, maybe someone has some extra
time to take a look at cleaning this up.

4d050f1dae mac80211: Add a timeout for frames in the RX reorder buffer
This patch allows skbs to be released from the RX reorder buffer in
case they have been there for an unexpectedly long time without us
having received the missing frames before them. Previously, these
frames were only released when the reorder window moved and that could
take very long time unless new frames were received constantly (e.g.,
TCP connections could be killed more or less indefinitely).

This situation should not happen very frequently, but it looks like
there are some scenarious that trigger it for some reason. As such,
this should be considered mostly a workaround to speed up recovery
from unexpected siutation that could result in connections hanging for
long periods of time.

The changes here will only check for timeout situation when adding new
RX frames to the reorder buffer. It does not handle all possible
cases, but seems to help for most cases that could result from common
network usage (e.g., TCP retrying at least couple of times). For more
completely coverage, a timer could be used to periodically check
whether there are any frames remaining in the reorder buffer if no new
frames are received.

286d949065 iwlagn: disable PS support for iwlagn
Some issues in PS prevent us from supporting it reliably.

When 4965 goes to sleep it stores some data in host DRAM, reads it back
when device wakes up. In 4965 there is a problem that the data is not
correct when ucode starts using it upon wakeup.

For all iwlagn devices there is a problem where command is sent when PS is
enabled. At the moment there is a locking problem with priv->lock not being
held and thus not requesting nic access correctly.

We disable PS until these issues have been resolved.

6f5f39c95a ath5k: Enable AP mode
After some debuging we were hitting the following bugs so far...

 * Due to huge channel list hostapd couldn't get infos from the driver
 and couldn't set the channel. If we manualy set the channel after
 hostapd starts (by setting channel to 0 -auto), beacons are sent
 but they wont show up on scan because they are malformed (they have
 channel = 0 because hostapd doesn't update the channel info -this is
 probably a hostapd bug so i'm CCing Jouni) and they get dropped. Bob
 fixed this by only allowing standard channels to be registered so
 now hostapd works as expected.

 * Docs (and HAL source) say that we must write 0 on timer0 when
 operating on AP mode to start TSF increment but this seems to
 mess with DBA in many cases and beacon queue never gets started.
 We fixed that on the previous patch.

 We have some more things to deal with...

 * For some reason (hw bug or something else) after restarting hostapd
 a few times, beacon inteval seems to change from 100ms to a sec
 (we get one beacon per sec).

 * We need to set sleep timers on STA mode and enable power saving +
 support PCF.

 ...but i think it's time we enable AP support "officialy" so that
 we can get more feedback from users. I ran ath5k with the mentioned
 patches + hostapd 0.6.8 and AP mode worked fine (it had some less
 throughput on my tests than IBSS but it worked).

428cbd4ff4 ath5k: Beaconing fixes
* Write next beacon timer even on AP mode since without this we get
 no beacons + ath9k does it too.  Docs say that we must write 0 on
 this register on AP mode to start TSF increment, we do both to be
 on the safe side.

 * Fix num_tx_pending function, we never read the register :P that's
 why we got all those "beacon queue 7 didn't stop messages".

 * Put full prioriy on beacon queue, lock all queues with lower
 priority using the arblock and also bypass any arblock by seting
 the arblock ignore flag.

 * For the CAB queue (do we need this thing ?, it seems crap) since
 it's supposed to fire up after each beacon (we don't use it on driver
 part, ath9k/MadWiFi does), don't make it DBA gated but instead make
 it fire after each beacon by using the beacon sent gated flag.

 * Increase bmiss threshold to 10, that's what we used on MadWiFi for
 a long time. Also when we have pending frames on the beacon queue (we
 got a beacon that didn't make it on the air) it's more likely that
 the beacon queue never started, probably due to faulty DBA setting,
 so change that "beacon queue didn't stop" message.

 Tested this with AP mode and IBSS mode and seems to work fine ;-)

206eade5a6 rt2x00: Style fix for interval defines
Extra parenthesis are not needed in these 2 cases,
all other defines in rt2x00 are done without parenthesis
so just fixup these 2 cases.

fb4a3d35a2 ath9k: uninline ath9k_io{read,write}32 routines
The spin_lock handling uses lots of instructions on some archs.
With this patch the size of the ath9k module will be significantly
smaller.

5cff20e6c5 mac80211: tell driver when idle
When we aren't doing anything in mac80211, we can turn off
much of the hardware, depending on the driver/hw. Not doing
anything, aka being idle, means:

 * no monitor interfaces
 * no AP/mesh/wds interfaces
 * any station interfaces are in DISABLED state
 * any IBSS interfaces aren't trying to be in a network
 * we aren't trying to scan

By creating a new function that verifies these conditions and calling
it at strategic points where the states of those conditions change,
we can easily make mac80211 tell the driver when we are idle to save
power.

Additionally, this fixes a small quirk where a recalculated powersave
state is passed to the driver even if the hardware is about to stopped
completely.

This patch intentionally doesn't touch radio_enabled because that is
currently implemented to be a soft rfkill which is inappropriate here
when we need to be able to wake up with low latency.

One thing I'm not entirely sure about is this:

  phy0: device no longer idle - in use
  wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d try 1
  wlan0 direct probe responded
  wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d
  wlan0: authenticated
> phy0: device now idle
> phy0: device no longer idle - in use
  wlan0: associate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d
  wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:11:24:91:07:4d (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1)
  wlan0: associated

Is it appropriate to go into idle state for a short time when we have
just authenticated, but not associated yet? This happens only with the
userspace SME, because we cannot really know how long it will wait
before asking us to associate. Would going idle after a short timeout
be more appropriate? We may need to revisit this, depending on what
happens.

9955151df7 mac80211: Warn if the rate controller requests retries for a NO_ACK frame
To deter future rate scaling algorithm writers from requesting NO_ACK
packets to be retried, throw a WARN_ON_ONCE if the algorithm hands us
a try count over 1 for NO_ACK packet.

4edf040afc mac80211: Fix handling of retry count of NO_ACK frames in minstrel
Make the retry count zero (total try count = 1) for frames with
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK set.

Also remove the check for is_multicast_ether_addr in use_low_rate,
which is redundant because all multicasts have IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK
set.
