In https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42976, a system with driver
rtl8192se used as an AP suffers from "Out of SW-IOMMU space" errors. These
are caused by the DMA buffers used for beacons never being unmapped.

The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to
acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When
_usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is
a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is
reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.
The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could
be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from
within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync()
by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and
allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.

in a dual-mac system. After the change, it is necessary to load firmware in

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207, slowdowns of driver
rtl8192ce are reported. One fix (commit a9b89e2) has already been applied,
and it helped, but the maximum RX speed would still drop to 1 Mbps. As in
the previous fix, the initial gain was determined to be the problem; however,
the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started.
Driver rtl8192de also has the same code structure - this one is fixed as well.

Driver rtl8192ce when used with the RTL8188CE device would start at about
20 Mbps on a 54 Mbps connection, but quickly drop to 1 Mbps. One of the
symptoms is that the AP would need to retransmit each packet 4 of 5 times
before the driver would acknowledge it. Recovery is possible only by
unloading and reloading the driver. This problem was reported at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207.
The problem is due to a missing update of the gain setting.

When driver rtl8192cu is used with the debug level set to 3 or greater,
the result is "sleeping function called from invalid context" due to
an rcu_read_lock() call in the DM refresh routine in driver rtl8192c.
This lock is not necessary as the USB driver does not use the struct
being protected, thus the lock is set only when a PCI interface is
active.
This bug is reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.

Define RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE which represents the
maximimum possible firmware file size. Use it in the definition
of the buffer which receives the firmware file data.
Set RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE closer to the actual size of
the firmware file, e.g., 90000 (down from hard coded 164000). The current
size of rtlwifi/rtl8192sefw.bin is 88856.
Set max_fw_size to RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE for the size limit
check. Fix the error case where max_fw_size is not cleared if the size
limit check fails.

This patch addresses a kernel bugzilla report and two recent mail threads.
The kernel bugzilla report is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42632,
which reports a udev timeout on boot.
The first mail thread, which was on LKML (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/
linux/kernel/1112.3/00965.html) was for a WARNING that occurs after a
suspend/resume cycle for rtl8192cu.
The scond mail thread (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=132655490826766&w=2)
concerned changes in udev that break drivers that delay while firmware is loaded
on modprobe.
This patch converts all rtlwifi-based drivers to use the asynchronous firmware
loading mechanism. Drivers rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu and rtl8192de share a common
callback routine. Driver rtl8192se needs different handling of the firmware,
thus it has its own code.

It does seem odd though to have a DBG_EMERG and not always
emit it.
What might also be useful for any embedded use is to add
CONFIG_RTLWIFI_DEBUG to conditionally remove all of the
debug logging code to reduce the largish object size.
This reduces the object size by about 1/3 (250KB)
when CONFIG_RTLWIFI_DEBUG is not set.
