3209e061ad libertas: ensure we clean up a scan request properly
Commit 2e30168b ("libertas: terminate scan when stopping interface")
adds cleanup code to lbs_eth_stop to call cfg80211_scan_done if there's
an outstanding cfg80211_scan_request.  However, it assumes that the
scan request was allocated via the cfg80211 stack.  Libertas has
its own internal allocation method, kept track of with
priv->internal_scan.  This doesn't set scan_req->wiphy, amongst other
things, which results in hitting a BUG() when we call cfg80211_scan_done
on the request.

This provides a function to take care of the low-level scan_req cleanup
details.  We simply call that to deal with finishing up scan requests.

The bug we were hitting was:

[  964.321495] kernel BUG at net/wireless/core.h:87!

5c1381ac3f libertas: fix changing interface type when interface is down
The recent changes to only power the device when the interface up
introduced a bug: changing interface type, legal when the interface
is down, performs device I/O.

Fix this functionality by validating and recording the interface
type when the change is requested, but only applying the change
if/when the interface is brought up.

8f641d93c3 libertas: detect TX lockups and reset hardware
Recent patches added support for resetting the SD8686 hardware when
commands time out, which seems to happen quite frequently soon after
resuming the system from a Wake-on-WLAN-triggered resume.

At http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10969 we see the same thing happen
with transmits. In this case, the hardware will fail to respond to
a frame passed for transmission, and libertas (correctly) will block
all further commands and transmissions as the hardware can only
deal with one thing at a time. This results in a lockup while the
system waits indefinitely for the dead card to respond.

Hook up a TX lockup timer to detect this and reset the hardware.

d2e7b3425c libertas: disable functionality when interface is down
Modify the driver so that it does not function when the interface is
down, in preparation for runtime power management.

No commands can be run while the interface is down, so the ndo_dev_stop
routine now directly does all necessary work (including asking the device
to disconnect from the network and disabling multicast functionality)
directly.

power_save and power_restore hooks are added meaning that card drivers
can take steps to turn the device off when the interface is down.

The MAC address can now only be changed when all interfaces are down;
the new address will be programmed when an interface gets brought up.
This matches mac80211 behaviour.

Also, some small cleanups/simplifications were made in the surrounding
device handling logic.

df90d84382 libertas: fix handling of command timeout, completion and interruption
When commands time out, corruption ensues. As lbs_complete_command()
is called without locking, the command node is mistakenly freed twice.
Also fixed up locking here in a few other places.

The nature of command timeout may be that the card didn't even
acknowledge receipt of the request. Detect this case and reset dnld_sent
so that other commands don't hang forever.

When cmdnodes are moved between the free list and the pending list,
their list heads should be reinitialized. Fixed this.

Sometimes commands are completed without actually submitting them or
removing them from cmdpendingq. We must remember to remove them from
cmdpendingq in these cases, so handle this in lbs_complete_command().

Harmless signals generated during suspend/resume were interrupting
lbs_cmd. Convert to an uninterruptible sleep to avoid this.

lbs_thread must be woken up every time there is some new work to do.
I found that when 2 commands are queued, ther completion of the first
command would not wake up lbs_thread to submit the second. Poke lbs_thread
at the end of lbs_complete_command() to fix this.

7e4b4eeced libertas: remove tx_timeout handler
As described at http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=130428493104730&w=2
libertas frequently generates spurious tx timeouts, because the tx
queue is brought down for extended periods during scanning. The net
layer takes a look and incorrectly assumes the queue has been down for
several seconds, and generates a tx_timeout.

One way to fix this is to bump the trans_start counter while scanning
so that the network layer knows that the device is still alive, but
I think the tx_timeout handler is implemented wrongly here and not of
any real use, so I vote to remove it.

As explained at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130430311115755&w=2
the watchdog is primarily meant to deal with lockup on the hardware TX
path (detected by the tx queue being stopped for an extended period of
time), but this is unlikely to happen with libertas. In this case, the tx
queue is stopped only while waiting for lbs_thread to send the queued frame
to the driver, and lbs_thread wakes up the queue immediately after, even
if the frame could not be sent correctly.

So, the only hardware-related possibility that this catches is if
hw_host_to_card hangs - this is something I have never seen. And if it
were to happen, nothing done by lbs_tx_timeout would actually wake up
lbs_thread any quicker than otherwise.

Removing this oddly-behaving spuriously-firing tx_timeout handler should
fix an occasional kernel crash during resume

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

921ca03c8f libertas: add auto auth mode feature
Auto auth mode is enabled by default. If user doesn't specify the
auth mode, while association driver will first try with open mode
and then with shared key mode. If user specifies an auth mode,
auto auth is disabled and driver will not try association with
another auth mode.

40e6fa829a libertas: don't retry commands
Retrying commands seldomly works, most often the firmware is in a
weird state anyway and needs the device to reset. So it's better
to report the broken state back to user-space.

Also rename command_timer_fn() into lbs_cmd_timeout_handler(),
which better reflect it's usage.

9842c38e91 kfifo: fix warn_unused_result
Fix the "ignoring return value of '...', declared with attribute
warn_unused_result" compiler warning in several users of the new kfifo
API.

It removes the __must_check attribute from kfifo_in() and
kfifo_in_locked() which must not necessary performed.

Fix the allocation bug in the nozomi driver file, by moving out the
kfifo_alloc from the interrupt handler into the probe function.

Fix the kfifo_out() and kfifo_out_locked() users to handle a unexpected
end of fifo.

c1e13f2567 kfifo: move out spinlock
Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo.  Most users in
tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to
call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a
spinlock.

4546548789 kfifo: move struct kfifo in place
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.

The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains.  Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.

I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:

 - The API is to simple, important functions are missing
 - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
 - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
 - There is no support for data records inside a fifo

So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much.  The new API has the following benefits:

 - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
 - Provide an API for the most use case.
 - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
 - Linux style habit.
 - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
 - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
 - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
   indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
 - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
   which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
 - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
   one is required.
 - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
   - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
     field of 1 bytes.
   - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
     field of 2 bytes.
   - Fixed size records, which no record size field.
 - Preserve memory resource.
 - Performance!
 - Easy to use!

This patch:

Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure.  This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them.  This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.
