francesco.gringoli@ing.unibs.it bad6919469 b43: avoid packet losses in the dma worker code.
Following Rafal request, we verified that on "modern" CPUs using one
or more workers is equivalent. Here is patch V3 that addresses the
packet loss bug in the dma engine using only one worker.

-------

This patch addresses a bug in the dma worker code that keeps draining
packets even when the hardware queues are full. In such cases packets
can not be passed down to the device and are erroneusly dropped by the
code.

This problem was already discussed here

http://www.mail-archive.com/b43-dev@lists.infradead.org/msg01413.html

and acknowledged by Michael.

Number of hardware queues is now defined in b43.h (B43_QOS_QUEUE_NUM).

Larry Finger 996bc370fa b43: Relax requirement for descriptors to be in the DMA zone
When 64-bit DMA was first used, there were problems with the
BCM4311 (14e4:4311). The problem was "fixed" by using the GFP_DMA
flag in the allocation of coherent ring descriptor memory.

The original problem is now believed to have been due to bugs in
the 64-bit DMA implementation in the rest of the kernel, and that
those bugs have been fixed. Accordingly, the requirement for the
descriptors to be in the DMA zone is relaxed.

Bounce buffers are left in the DMA zone.

Tejun Heo 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.

If userencounter the "Fatal DMA Problem" with a BCM43XX device, and
still wish to use b43 as the driver, their only option is to rebuild
the kernel with CONFIG_B43_FORCE_PIO. This patch removes this option and
allows PIO mode to be selected with a load-time parameter for the module.
Note that the configuration variable CONFIG_B43_PIO is also removed.

Once the DMA problem with the BCM4312 devices is solved, this patch will

It won't recover from errors (that are bugs in the firmware or driver),

Enforce all device constraints on the descriptor memory region.

There are several constraints on the descriptor memory, as documented
in the specification. The current code does not enforce them and/or
incorrectly enforces them.

Those constraints are:
- The address limitations on 30/32bit engines, that also apply to
  the skbs.
- The 4k alignment requirement on 30/32bit engines.
- The 8k alignment requirement on 64bit engines.

Michael Buesch 9a3f45116f b43: Fix DMA TX bounce buffer copying
b43 allocates a bouncebuffer, if the supplied TX skb is in an invalid
memory range for DMA.
However, this is broken in that it fails to copy over some metadata to the
new skb.

This patch fixes three problems:
* Failure to adjust the ieee80211_tx_info pointer to the new buffer.
  This results in a kmemcheck warning.
* Failure to copy the skb cb, which contains ieee80211_tx_info, to the new skb.
  This results in breakage of various TX-status postprocessing (Rate control).
* Failure to transfer the queue mapping.
  This results in the wrong queue being stopped on saturation and can result in queue overflow.

Larry Finger 18c6951091 b43: Work around mac80211 race condition
As shown in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/36497,
mac80211 has a bug that allows a call to the TX routine after the queues have
been stopped. This situation will only occur under extreme stress. Although
b43 does not crash when this condition occurs, it does generate a WARN_ON and
also logs a queue overrun message. This patch recognizes b43 is not at fault
and logs a message only when the most verbose debugging mode is enabled. In
the unlikely event that the queue is not stopped when the DMA queue becomes
full, then a warning is issued.

During testing of this patch with one output stream running repeated tcpperf
writes and a second running a flood ping, this routine was entered with
the DMA ring stopped about once per hour. The condition where the DMA queue is
full but the ring has not been stopped has never been seen by me.

Michael Buesch cf68636a97 b43: Refresh RX poison on buffer recycling
The RX buffer poison needs to be refreshed, if we recycle an RX buffer,
because it might be (partially) overwritten by some DMA operations.

Michael Buesch ec9a1d8c13 b43: Poison RX buffers
This patch adds poisoning and sanity checking to the RX DMA buffers.
This is used for protection against buggy hardware/firmware that raises
RX interrupts without doing an actual DMA transfer.

This mechanism protects against rare "bad packets" (due to uninitialized skb data)
and rare kernel crashes due to uninitialized RX headers.

The poison is selected to not match on valid frames and to be cheap for checking.

The poison check mechanism _might_ trigger incorrectly, if we are voluntarily
receiving frames with bad PLCP headers. However, this is nonfatal, because the
chance of such a match is basically zero and in case it happens it just results
in dropping the packet.
Bad-PLCP RX defaults to off, and you should leave it off unless you want to listen
to the latest news broadcasted by your microwave oven.

This patch also moves the initialization of the RX-header "length" field in front of
the mapping of the DMA buffer. The CPU should not touch the buffer after we mapped it.

Michael Buesch ce4fbdbf16 b43: Pass more RX flags to mac80211
This changes the RX handler to pass more status flags to mac80211.
It also changes part of the drop policy, if bad frames were requested. (Note that
currently mac80211 will throw a WARN_ON in that case. But nothing bad will happen).

This also removes some obsolete unused timestamping code.
