a9999348e7 Bluetooth: Remove unnecessary hci_dev_unlock for smp_user_confirm_reply
Now that the SMP context has it's own crypto handle it doesn't need to
lock the hci_dev anymore for most operations. This means that it is safe
to call smp_user_confirm_reply with the lock already held.

ec70f36f8b Bluetooth: Update SMP crypto functions to take the SMP context
Passing the full SMP context instead of just the crypto context lets us
use the crypto handle from the context which in turn removes the need to
lock the hci_dev. Passing the SMP context instead of just the crypto
handle allows a bit more detailed logging which is helpful in
multi-adapter scenarios.

6a7bd103c8 Bluetooth: Add dedicated AES instance for each SMP context
Many places have to be extra careful to not hold the hdev lock when
calling into the SMP code. This is because the SMP crypto functions use
the crypto handle that's part of the hci_dev struct. Giving the SMP
context its own handle helps simplifying the locking logic and removes
the risk for deadlocks.

4dae27983e Bluetooth: Convert hci_conn->link_mode into flags
Since the link_mode member of the hci_conn struct is a bit field and we
already have a flags member as well it makes sense to merge these two
together. This patch moves all used link_mode bits into corresponding
flags. To keep backwards compatibility with user space we still need to
provide a get_link_mode() helper function for the ioctl's that expect a
link_mode style value.

7652ff6aea Bluetooth: Move mgmt event sending out from hci_add_link_key()
There are two callers of hci_add_link_key(). The first one is the HCI
Link Key Notification event and the second one the mgmt code that
receives a list of link keys from user space. Previously we've had the
hci_add_link_key() function being responsible for also emitting a mgmt
signal but for the latter use case this should not happen. Because of
this a rather awkward new_key paramter has been passed to the function.

This patch moves the mgmt event sending out from the hci_add_link_key()
function, thereby making the code a bit more understandable.

5547e48c09 Bluetooth: 6LoWPAN: Create a kernel module
Instead of adding the 6LoWPAN functionality to Bluetooth module,
we create a separate kernel module for it.

Usage:

In the slave side do this:

$ modprobe bluetooth_6lowpan
$ echo 62 > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_psm
$ hciconfig hci0 leadv

In the master side do this:

$ modprobe bluetooth_6lowpan
$ echo 62 > /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_psm
$ echo 'connect E0:06:E6:B7:2A:73 1' > \
                  /sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/6lowpan_control

The 6LoWPAN functionality can be controlled by psm value. If it
is left to 0, then the module is disabled and all the 6LoWPAN
connections are dropped if there were any. In the above example,
the psm value is just an example and not a real value for
6LoWPAN service. The real psm value is yet to be defined in
Bluetooth specification.

The 6lowpan controlling interface is a temporary solution
until the specifications are ready.

0498878b18 Bluetooth: Provide L2CAP ops callback for memcpy_fromiovec
The highly optimized TX path for L2CAP channels and its fragmentation
within the HCI ACL packets requires to copy data from user provided
IO vectors and also kernel provided memory buffers.

This patch allows channel clients to provide a memcpy_fromiovec callback
to keep this optimized behavior, but adapt it to kernel vs user memory
for the TX path. For all kernel internal L2CAP channels, a default
implementation is provided that can be referenced.

In case of A2MP, this fixes a long-standing issue with wrongly accessing
kernel memory as user memory.

Some of them, that are taken in case of errors, forget to set the "err"
variable, that is returned by the probe function.
This can lead to the kernel thinking the probe function succeeds while it
didn't, and this in turn causes extra calls to the "remove" function.

non-zero value in each exit path.

f4cf628781 rtl818x_pci: handle broken PIO mapping
All boards supported by this driver could work using PIO or MMIO for accessing
registers.
This driver tries to access HW by using MMIO, and, if this fails for somewhat
reason, the driver tries to fall back to PIO mode.

MMIO-mode is straightforward on all boards.
PIO-mode is straightforward on rtl8180 only.

On rtl8185 and rtl8187se boards not all registers are directly available in PIO
mode (they are paged).

On rtl8185 there are two pages and it is known how to switch page.
PIO mode works, except for only one access to a register out of default page,
recently added by me in the initialization code with patch:
rtl818x_pci: Fix rtl8185 excessive IFS after CTS-to-self
This can be easily fixed to work in both cases (MMIO and PIO).

On rtl8187se, for a number of reasons, there is much more work to do to fix PIO
access.
PIO access is currently broken on rtl8187se, and it never worked.

This patch fixes the said register write for rtl8185 and makes the driver to
fail cleanly if PIO mode is attempted with rtl8187se boards.

While doing this, I converted also a couple of printk(KERN_ERR) to dev_err(), in
order to make checkpatch happy.

fe67bcd4c8 rtl8180: disable buggy rate fallback mechanism
Currently the driver configures mac80211 to provide two rates for each TX frame:
One initial rate and one alternate fallback rate, each one with its retry count.

HW does not support fully this: rtl8180 doesn't have support for rate scaling at
all, and rtl8185/rtl8187SE supports it in a way that does not fit with mac80211:
The HW does automatically fall back to the next lower rate, and only a lower
limit can be specified, so the HW may TX also on rates in between the two rates
specified by mac80211.  Furthermore only the total TX retry count can be
specified for each packet, while the number of TX attempts before scaling rate
can be configured only globally (not per each packet).

Currently the driver sets the HW auto rate fallback mechanism to quickly scale
rate after a couple of retries, and it uses the alternate rate requested by
mac80211 as fallback limit rate (and it does this even wrongly).

The HW indeed will behave differently than what mac80211 mandates, that is
probably undesirable, and the reported TX retry count may not refer to what
mac80211 thinks, and this could fool mac80211.

This patch makes the driver to declare to mac80211 to support only one rate
configuration for each packet, and it does disable the HW auto rate fallback
mechanism, relying only on SW and letting mac80211 to do all by itself.

This should ensure correct operation and fairness respect to mac80211.
Indeed here tests with iperf do not show significant performance differences.

81129fce7e rtl8180: fix incorrect TX retry.
HW is programmed with wrong retry count value for TX:

Mac80211 passes to driver the number of times the TX should be attempted.
The HW, instead, wants the number of time the TX should be retried if it fails
the first time (assuming we have to TX it at least one time).

This patch correct this.

f82be7c46a rtl818x_pci: add comment pointing to the rtl8187se reference code
Rtl8187se support has been added to the rtl818x_pci driver by extracting a lot
of information from a rtl8187se Linux staging driver included in the kernel at
the time rtl8187se support was added.
The rtl818x_pci main file has a comment that advertises this.

Recently this staging driver has been removed from the kernel, but I still feel
it can be useful as "reference" code (in case of bugs, or to implement
improvements in rtl818x_pci driver).

This one-line patch adds a comment in rtl818x_pci driver to point people
searching for that "reference code" to the last kernel version still containing
it (3.14).
