Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211
was broken and has remotely triggerable problems, some of
which are due to some code shuffling I did that ended up
changing the order in which things were done -- this was

mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session
and other parts were already present in the original
commit d92684e66091c0f0101819619b315b4bb8b5bcc5
Author: Ron Rindjunsky <ron.rindjunsky@intel.com>
Date: Mon Jan 28 14:07:22 2008 +0200
mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support
The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.
The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
race window where crashes could happen before the driver
accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.
For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
about the session state; don't drop the lock
2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
even before the session was really started -- this is
true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
(ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The ICT IRQ table is a set of __le32 values, not u32 values,
so when reading it we need to take into account that it has

not work for no apparent reason with 5xxx cards, but worked

-16 is EBUSY error. The asynchronous command tests for STATUS_EXIT_PENDING

when sending a non-HT packet so that the rate index can be properly treated.
This fixes the reporting of legacy rates in wireless-extensions for packets
sent after an HT packet.

debugFs file show current tx power for all the transmit chains
Adding "tx_power" file in /sys/kernal/debug/ieee80211/phy0/iwlagn/debug
to display current tx power for all the active chains in 1/2 dB step.
Show tx power information "Not available" if uCode can not provide the
information or interface is down.

When setting tx power in sysfs, check against max channel tx power
limit instead of IWL_TX_POWER_TARGET_POWER_MAX.
Different devices have different max tx power limit; using
IWL_TX_POWER_TARGET_POWER_MAX can excess the limitaion and give wrong

Commit 1ccb84d87d04df3c76cd4352fe69786d8c7cf016 by Wey-Yi Guy
("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
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,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

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
both the per-station GF support flag as well as the current BSS HT operation
mode (non-GF stations present flag).
Added the "ht_greenfield_support" field to struct iwl_cfg to replace the
device-specific check in rs_use_green(). That check has been moved to
iwlcore_init_ht_hw_capab().

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.

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.

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.
