384912ed19 net: Add DEVTYPE support for Ethernet based devices
The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.

To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.

  # cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
  DEVTYPE=wlan
  INTERFACE=wlan0
  IFINDEX=5

This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.

The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

156f5a7801 debugfs: Fix terminology inconsistency of dir name to mount debugfs filesystem.
Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/"
directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to
./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file.

And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.

debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah
hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name
of debugfs filesystem.

0bcfc5ef01 wimax/i2400m: use -EL3RST to indicate device reset instead of -ERESTARTSYS
When the i2400m device resets, the driver code will force some
functions to return a -ERESTARTSYS error code, which can is used by
the caller to determine which recovery actions to take.

However, in certain situations the only thing that can be done is to
bubble up said error code to user space, for handling.

However, -ERESTARSYS was a poor choice, as it is supposed to be used
by the kernel only.

As such, replace -ERESTARTSYS with -EL3RST; as well, in
i2400m_msg_to_dev(), when the device is in boot mode (following a
recent reset), return -EL3RST instead of -ENODEV (meaning the device
is in bootrom mode after a reset, not that the device was
disconnected, and thus, normal commands cannot be executed).

8b5b30ee7d wimax/i2400m: when bootstrap fails, reinitialize the bootrom
When a device reset happens during firmware load [in
i2400m_dev_bootstrap()], __i2400m_dev_start() will retry a number of
times. However, for those retries to be able to accomplish anything,
the device's bootrom has to be reinitialized.

Thus, on the retry path, pass the I2400M_MAC_REINIT to the firmware

6e053d6c79 wimax/i2400m: don't reset device when bootrom init retries are exceeded
When i2400m_bootrom_init() fails to put the device into a state of
being ready to accept firmware, the driver was currently trying to
reset it if it failed to do so. This is not too useful; as part of
trying to put the device in the right state a few resets have already
been tried.

At this point, things are probably fried out and an extra reset might
do more harm than good (for example causing reseting of other
functions in the same composite device).

So it is left up to the callers to determine the error path to take
(at the end this is always i2400m_setup(), who depending on how many
retries are left, might give up on the device).

This change moves the table of "pokes" performed on the device at boot
time to the bus specific portion of the driver.

Different models of the i2400m device supported by this driver require
different poke tables, thus having a single table that works for all
is impossible. For that, the table is moved to the bus-specific
driver, who can decide which table to use based on the specifics of
the device and point the generic driver to it.

ecddfd5ed7 wimax/i2400m: Allow bus-specific driver to specify retry count
The code that sets up the i2400m (firmware load and general driver
setup after it) includes a couple of retry loops.

The SDIO device sometimes can get in more complicated corners than the
USB one (due to its interaction with other SDIO functions), that
require trying a few more times.

To solve that, without having a failing USB device taking longer to be
considered dead, allow the retry counts to be specified by the
bus-specific driver, which the general driver takes as a parameter.

b4bd07e3b1 wimax/i2400m: don't reset device on i2400m_dev_shutdown()
i2400m_dev_shutdown() tried to reset the device to put it in a known
state before shutting down.

But that turned out to be pointless. We reach this case in two paths:

 1 - when the device resets, to clean up state
 2 - when the driver is unloaded, for the same

however, in both cases it is pointless; in (1) the device is already
reset, why do it again? in (2) we can't -- the USB stack, for example,
doesn't allow communicating with the device when the driver is being
unbound and if the device is disconnected, the device is gone already.

So just remove it. Leave the function as a placeholder for future
cleanups that will be done from data allocated by the driver during
device operation.

2971a5bac8 wimax/i2400m: fix panic due to missed corner cases on tail_room calculation
i2400m_tx_skip_tail() needs to handle the special case of being called
when the tail room that is left over in the FIFO is zero.

This happens when a TX message header was opened at the very end of
the FIFO (without payloads). The i2400m_tx_close() code already marked
said TX message (header) to be skipped and this function should be
doing nothing.

It is called anyway because it is part of a common "corner case" path
handling which takes care of more cases than only this one.

The tail room computation was also improved to take care of the case
when tx_in is at the end of the buffer boundary; tail_room has to be
modded (%) to the buffer size. To do that in a single well-documented
place, __i2400m_tx_tail_room() is introduced and used.

Treat i2400m->tx_in == 0 as a corner case and handle it accordingly.

In some situations, when a new TX message header is started, there
might be no space for data payloads. In this case the message is left
with zero payloads and the i2400m_tx_close() function has just to mark
it as "to skip". If it tries to go ahead it will overwrite things
because there is no space to add padding as defined by the
bus-specific layer. This can cause buffer overruns and in some stress
cases, panics.

fff1068559 wimax/i2400m: don't call netif_start_queue() in _tx_msg_sent()
Reported and fixed by Cindy H Kao.

When the device is stopped __i2400m_dev_stop() stops the network

However, when this is done in the middle of heavy network operation,
when the bus-specific subdriver is still wrapping up and it reports a
sent TX transaction with _tx_msg_sent() right after the device was
stopped, the queue was being started again, which was causing a stream
of oopsen and finally a panic.

In any case, said call has no place there. It's a left over from an
early implementation that was discarded later on.

fb10167478 wimax/i2400m: introduce module parameter to disable entering power save
The i2400m driver waits for the device to report being ready for
entering power save before asking it to do so. This module parameter
allows control of said operation; if disabled, the driver won't ask
the device to enter power save mode.

This is useful in setups where power saving is not so important or
when the overhead imposed by network reentry after power save is not
acceptable; by combining this with parameter 'idle_mode_disabled', the
driver will always maintain both the connection and the device in
active state.

2618ab774e wimax/i2400m: usb: fix device reset on autosuspend while not yet idle
When the i2400m is connected to a network, the host interface (USB)
cannot be suspended. For that to happen, the device has to have
negotiated with the basestation to put the link on IDLE state.

If the host tries to put the device in standby while it is connected
but not idle, the device resets, as the driver should not do that.

To avoid triggering that, when the USB susbsytem requires the driver
to autosuspend the device, the driver checks if the device is not yet
idle. If it is not, the request is requested (will be retried again
later on after the autosuspend timeout). At some point the device will
enter idle and the request will succeed (unless of course, there is
network traffic, but at that point, there is no idle neither in the
link or the host interface).

4e5b6d006b wimax/i2400m: fix device crash: fix optimization in _roq_queue_update_ws
When the i2400m receives data and the device indicates there has to be
reordering, we keep an sliding window implementation to sort the
packets before sending them to the network stack.

One of the "operations" that the device indicates is "queue a packet
and update the window start". When the queue is empty, this is
equivalent to "deliver the packet and update the window start".

That case was optimized in i2400m_roq_queue_update_ws() so that we
would not pointlessly queue and dequeue a packet. However, when the
optimization was active, it wasn't updating the window start. That
caused the reorder management code to get confused later on with what
seemed to be wrong reorder requests from the device.

Thus the fix implemented is to do the right thing and update the
window start in both cases, when the queue is empty (and the
optimization is done) and when not.

c747583d19 wimax/i2400m: implement RX reorder support
Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information.

When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has
to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held
packets have to be released to the OS.

This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission
support when missing frames are detected.

The code docs provide details about the implementation.

In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with
the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information
in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations
are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the
networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws
and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on
the window start for the specific queue.

The modifications to files other than rx.c are:

- control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support
  if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled

- driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call
  i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder
  support.

- i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for
  implementing reorder support.

- linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions
  related to RX reorder

Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log
where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in
case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost
impossible.

fd5c565c0c wimax/i2400m: support extended data RX protocol (no need to reallocate skbs)
Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).

However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.

- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
  wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
  definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.

- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
  protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
  netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().

- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
  address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
  stack.

- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
  renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

8987691a4a wimax/i2400m: allow control of the base-station idle mode timeout
For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while
connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or
rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when
data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived.

This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be
idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs
interace.

It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module
variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version
(upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3).

The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is
much more limited and can be only done at initialization time. Thus,
the sysfs file will return -ENOSYS on older ones.

6a0f7ab830 wimax/i2400m: firmware_check() encodes the firmware version in i2400m->fw_version
Upcoming modifications will need to test for the running firmware
version before activating a feature or not. This is helpful to
implement backward compatibility with older firmware versions.

Modify i2400m_firmware_check() to encode in i2400m->fw_version the
major and minor version numbers of the firmware interface.

As well, move the call to be done as the very first operation once we
have communication with the device during probe() [in
__i2400m_dev_start()]. This is needed so any operation that is
executed afterwards can determine which fw version it is talking to.

efa05d0f0a wimax/i2400m: drop support for deprecated major fw interface, add for new minor
Firmware interface version 8.x.x has long been deprecated and is no
longer supported (nor available, as it is a preproduction firmware),
so it can be safely dropped.

Add support for firmware interface v9.2.x (current is 9.1.x). Firmware
version 9.2.x is backwards compatible with 9.1.x; new features are
enabled if switches are pressed to turn them on. Forthcoming commits
to the driver will start pressing those switches when the firmware
interface supports it.

1039abbc5b wimax/i2400m: add the ability to fallback to other firmware files if the default is not there
In order to support backwards compatibility with older firmwares when
a driver is updated by a new kernel release, the i2400m bus drivers
can declare a list of firmware files they can work with (in general
these will be each a different version). The firmware loader will try
them in sequence until one loads.

Thus, if a user doesn't have the latest and greatest firmware that a
newly installed kernel would require, the driver would fall back to
the firmware from a previous release.

To support this, the i2400m->bus_fw_name is changed to be a NULL
terminated array firmware file names (and renamed to bus_fw_names) and
we add a new entry (i2400m->fw_name) that points to the name of the
firmware being currently used. All code that needs to print the
firmware file name uses i2400m->fw_name instead of the old
i2400m->bus_fw_name.

The code in i2400m_dev_bootstrap() that loads the firmware is changed
with an iterator over the firmware file name list that tries to load
each form user space, using the first one that succeeds in
request_firmware() (and thus stopping the iteration).

The USB and SDIO bus drivers are updated to take advantage of this and
reflect which firmwares they support.

494ef10eba wimax/i2400m: driver loads firmware v1.4 instead of v1.3
This is a one liner change to have the driver use by default the v1.4
of the i2400m firmware instead of v1.3. The v1.4 version of the
firmware has been submitted to David Woodhouse for inclusion in the
linux-firmware tree and it is already available at
http://linuxwimax.org/Download.

The reason for this change is that the 1.3 release of the user space
software and firmware has a few issues that will make it difficult to
use with currently deployed commercial networks such as Xohm and
Clearwire.

As well, the new 1.4 release of the user space software (which matches
the 1.4 firmware) has intermitent issues with the 1.3 firmware.

The 1.4 release in http://linuxwimax.org/Download has been widely
deployed and tested with the codebase in 2.6.29-rc, the 1.4 firmware
and the 1.4 user space components.

We understand it is quite late in the rc process for such a change,
but would like to ask for the change to be taken into consideration.

Alternatively, a user could always force feed a 1.4 firmware into a
driver that doesn't have this modification by:

$ cd /lib/firmware
$ mv i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.real.sbcf
$ ln -sf i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbc i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf

1af7ad5104 wimax: fix build issue when debugfs is disabled
As reported by Toralf Förster and Randy Dunlap.

- http://linuxwimax.org/pipermail/wimax/2009-January/000460.html

- http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/279

The definitions needed for the wimax stack and i2400m driver debug
infrastructure was, by mistake, compiled depending on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
(by them being placed in the debugfs.c files); thus the build broke in
2.6.29-rc3 when debugging was enabled (CONFIG_WIMAX_DEBUG) and
DEBUG_FS was disabled.

These definitions are always needed if debug is enabled at compile
time (independently of DEBUG_FS being or not enabled), so moving them
to a file that is always compiled fixes the issue.

f4895b8bc8 wimax/i2400m: error paths that need to free an skb should use kfree_skb()
Roel Kluin reported a bug in two error paths where skbs were wrongly
being freed using kfree(). He provided a fix where it was replaced to
kfree_skb(), as it should be.

However, in i2400mu_rx(), the error path was missing returning an
indication of the failure. Changed to reset rx_skb to NULL and return
it to the caller, i2400mu_rxd(). It will be treated as a transient
error and just ignore the packet.

Depending on the buffering conditions inside the device, the data
packet might be dropped or the device will signal the host again for
data-ready-to-read and the host will retry.
