f5e8560ee0 mwifiex: corner case NULL pointer dereference fix
When next scan command is delayed due to Tx traffic and
meanwhile synchronous command is received followed by a signal,
we cance all pending commands. NULL pointer dereference is seen
in this case while queueing next command in scan delay timer.
This patch adds a check to fix this issue.

fa0ecbb990 mwifiex: remove global variable cmd_wait_q_required
There is a race condition while queuing synchronous command and
asynchronous command requested from different threads, because
the wait_q_enabled flag is set based on a global variable
cmd_wait_q_required.

The issue is fixed by removing this global variable and using a
unified function with an argument 'sync' passed into the
function.

99932d4fc0 netdevice: add queue selection fallback handler for ndo_select_queue
Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a
fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx();
fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers
invoke this function within their customized implementation in
case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback
handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different
queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc).

This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is
then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that
function to modules can be undone.

f663dd9aaf net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding
Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:

- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
  instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
  lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
  control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
  watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
  when tso is disabled for lower device.

Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.

With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.

In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

fa9ffc7456 cfg80211: Add support for QoS mapping
This allows QoS mapping from external networks to be implemented as
defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 10.24.9. APs can use this to advertise
DSCP ranges and exceptions for mapping frames to a specific UP over
Wi-Fi.

The payload of the QoS Map Set element (IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 8.4.2.97)
is sent to the driver through the new NL80211_ATTR_QOS_MAP attribute to
configure the local behavior either on the AP (based on local
configuration) or on a station (based on information received from the
AP).

mwifiex_add_virtual_intf() allocates wdev structure. So it should
be freed in mwifiex_del_virtual_intf().
This will make sure that wdev will be freed when user deletes an
interface and also in unload path.
2) "priv->netdev->ieee80211_ptr" should also be cleared in

453b0c3f69 mwifiex: fix SDIO interrupt lost issue
601216e "mwifiex: process RX packets in SDIO IRQ thread directly"
introduced a command timeout issue which can be reproduced easily on
an AM33xx platform using a test application written by Daniel Mack:

https://gist.github.com/zonque/6579314

mwifiex_main_process() is called from both the SDIO handler and
the workqueue. In case an interrupt occurs right after the
int_status check, but before updating the mwifiex_processing flag,
this interrupt gets lost, resulting in a command timeout and
consequently a card reset.

Let main_proc_lock protect both int_status and mwifiex_processing
flag. This fixes the interrupt lost issue.

1211c96117 mwifiex: do not create AP and P2P interfaces upon driver loading
Bug 60747 - 1286:2044 [Microsoft Surface Pro]
    Marvell 88W8797 wifi show 3 interface under network
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60747

This issue was also reported previously by OLPC and some folks from
the community.

There are 3 network interfaces with different types being created
when mwifiex driver is loaded:

1. mlan0 (infra. STA)
2. uap0 (AP)
3. p2p0 (P2P_CLIENT)

The Network Manager attempts to use all 3 interfaces above without
filtering the managed interface type. As the result, 3 identical
interfaces are displayed under network manager. If user happens to
click on an entry under which its interface is uap0 or p2p0, the
association will fail.

Work around it by removing the creation of AP and P2P interfaces
at driver loading time. These interfaces can be added with 'iw' or
other applications manually when they are needed.

232fde062e mwifiex: fix IRQ enable/disable
During tear down (e.g. mwifiex_sdio_remove during system suspend),
mwifiex left IRQs enabled for a significant period of time when it was
unable to handle them correctly. This caused interrupt storms and
interfered with the bluetooth interface on the same SDIO card.

Solve this by disabling interrupts at the point when they can no longer
be handled correctly, which is at the start of mwifiex_remove_card().

For cleanliness, we now enable interrupts in the mwifiex_add_card() path,
to be symmetrical with the disabling of interrupts. We also couple the
registration of the sdio IRQ handler with the actual enable/disable of
interrupts at the hardware level.

I also removed a write to this register in mwifiex_init_sdio which seemed
pointless and won't cause any ill effects now that we only register
the SDIO IRQ handler when we are ready to accept interrupts.

Includes some corrections from Amitkumar Karwar.

6390d88529 mwifiex: fix memory corruption when unsetting multicast list
When trying to unset a previously-set multicast list (i.e. the new list
has 0 entries), mwifiex_set_multicast_list() was calling down to
mwifiex_request_set_multicast_list() while leaving
mcast_list.num_multicast_addr as an uninitialized value.

We were arriving at mwifiex_cmd_mac_multicast_adr() which would then
proceed to do an often huge memcpy of
mcast_list.num_multicast_addr*ETH_ALEN bytes, causing memory corruption
and hard to debug crashes.

Fix this by setting mcast_list.num_multicast_addr to 0 when no multicast
list is provided. Similarly, fix up the logic in
mwifiex_request_set_multicast_list() to unset the multicast list that
was previously sent to the hardware in such cases.

47411a06c0 mwifiex: add multi-queue support
This patch adds support for multiple TX queues inside mwifiex
driver. Four different queues according to WMM access categories
are defined for each virtual interface. When a packet is
received from netdev for transmission, tx pending count for
particular queue is incremented and if tx pending count has
reached upper water-mark, this queue is stopped instead of
stopping all queues. Similarly when a packet is successfully
transmitted from device, tx pending count is decremented per
queue and if pending count falls below lower water-mark, queue
operations are again resumed. This ensures that not all
tranmission is blocked if traffic with particular TOS value
suddenly increases.

Also wake all queues after association/IBSS_join/uAP_BSS_start
to enable traffic on all queues.

bdd37bed61 mwifiex: improve scan delay logic during Tx traffic
Earlier scan command was postponed by 20msec multiple times to give
preference to Tx traffic until we find empty wmm queue.

There is a corner case in which wmm queue becomes empty immediately
after processing the packet(before 20msec) and there may be next
packet coming after some time. In this case we should not resume scan
operation.

We will use new flag to check Tx traffic and resume scan operation
only if there is no traffic for 200msec.

f931c7705b mwifiex: wake up main thread to handle Tx traffic if scan is delayed/aborted
This is a flaw in recently implemented logic to handle Tx traffic
and scan operation simultaneously. We missed to wakeup main thread
to handle Tx traffic if scan is delayed/aborted.

For some cards (SD8797, for example), firmware will send SLEEP event
if there is no activity for 50msec. While handling the SLEEP event,
main thread will be woken up and Tx packet gets sent hence. In worst
case Tx traffic will be delayed for 50msec.

For other cards, such as USB8797, firmware won't send SLEEP event.
So, Tx traffic gets stuck if no other event triggers the wakeup of
main thread.

This patch fixes above issues.

3249ba7376 mwifiex: fix simultaneous scan and Tx traffic problem
If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running,
driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic
there is a delay for Tx packets.

This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority
in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan
commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will
make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan
command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by
20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or
timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will
be aborted.
