09be251e90 Revert "iwlwifi: do not perferm force reset while doing scan"
This reverts commit 7acc7c683a. It was
applied to avoid possible warning in ieee80211_restart_hw, however
reason of the warning were races in mac80211, currently hopefully fixed.

Not reseting device when performing scan is bad for two reasons.

When forcing reset from iwl_check_stuck_queue(), in case of fail,
reset will be repeated until scan finish. But since firmware is in bad
shape, scan only finish after scan_check work (about 7s). So we will
delay the reset, what is not good behaviour.

When forcing reset from iwl_recover_from_statistics(), we will not
repeat the reset, so we will not perform reset at all when needed.

7cb1b0887f iwlagn: reduce redundant parameter definitions
move paramater definitions to a device paramater structure only
leaving the device name, which antennas are used and what firmware
file to use in the iwl_cfg structure.  this will not completely
remove the redundancies but greatly reduce them for devices that
only vary by name or antennas.  the parameters that are more
likely to change within a given device family are left in iwl_cfg.
also separate bt param structure added to help reduce more.

7acc7c683a iwlwifi: do not perferm force reset while doing scan
When uCode error condition detected, driver try to perform either
rf reset or firmware reload in order bring device back to
working condition.

If rf reset is required and scan is in process, there is no need
to issue rf reset since scan already reset the rf.

If firmware reload is required and scan is in process, skip the
reload request. There is a possibility firmware reload during
scan cause problem.

e7e16b90b4 iwlwifi: do not force complete scan too early
Currently we force scan complete at the end of iwl_scan_cancel_timeout
function. This cause race condition when we can get a new scan request
from mac80211 and complete it by iwl_bg_complete from older scan. Change
code to force scan complete only when really needed: device goes down,
interface is removed or scan timeout occurs.

ea196fdbb9 iwlwifi: fix and describe iwl_adjust_beacon_interval
The iwl_adjust_beacon_interval function is a bit
of black magic, so add comments to it describing
what it does. Also, in the case when there's no
beacon interval set, program the default into
the device (instead of adjusting, which results
in the max) since using the max in that case
interacts badly with dual-mode/PAN parameters.

Also update the PAN parameters accordingly and
use the same constant as here.

bee008b783 iwlwifi: add bt full concurrency support
Adding the bluetooth full concurrency support for WiFi/BT combo devices.

Driver should configure uCode to operate in "full concurrency" mode (via
LUT) if both conditions are met:
 - Antenna Coupling is more than 35dB
 - WiFi Channel Inhibition Request is hornored by BT Core

Currently, there is no antenna coupling information provided by uCode;
use module parameter to specified the antenna coupling in dB.

When in "full concurrency" mode, driver need to download different LUT
to uCode while sending bt configuration command; also, driver need to
configure the device operate in 1x1 while in full concurrency mode.

aa2dc6b529 iwlwifi: avoid race condition in channel change
When iwl_mac_config() is called by mac80211, the channel pointer
hw->conf->channel can potentially change, resulting in mismatch
band and channel number when configuring RXON command. To avoid
this situation, save the channel pointer in local variables
and validate the channel before using it. Note that priv->mutex
is locked during the whole function so the local variables are safe.

Same change is applied to iwl_mac_channel_switch() since basically
it copies code from iwl_mac_config().

    iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly

broke 3945 under some unknown circumstances, as
reported by Alex.

Since I want to keep the direct application of
filter flags on iwlagn, duplicate the code into
both 3945 and agn and remove committing the
RXON that broke things from the 3945 version.

a85d7cca12 iwlwifi: track IBSS manager status
Only the IBSS manager, ie. the station that sent
the IBSS beacon last, should be replying to probe
responses. This requires implementing the mac80211
tx_last_beacon callback, which we can do thanks to
the ucode beacon notification.

94597ab23e iwlagn: fix rts cts protection
Currently the driver will try to protect all frames,
which leads to a lot of odd things like sending an
RTS with a zeroed RA before multicast frames, which
is clearly bogus.

In order to fix all of this, we need to take a step
back and see what we need to achieve:
 * we need RTS/CTS protection if requested by
   the AP for the BSS, mac80211 tells us this
 * in that case, CTS-to-self should only be
   enabled when mac80211 tells us
 * additionally, as a hardware workaround, on
   some devices we have to protect aggregated
   frames with RTS

To achieve the first two items, set up the RXON
accordingly and set the protection required flag
in the transmit command when mac80211 requests
protection for the frame.

To achieve the last item, set the rate-control
RTS-requested flag for all stations that we have
aggregation sessions with, and set the protection
required flag when sending aggregated frames (on
those devices where this is required).

Since otherwise bugs can occur, do not allow the
user to override the RTS-for-aggregation setting
from sysfs any more.

Finally, also clean up the way all these flags get
set in the driver and move everything into the
device-specific functions.

02f5ba5bac iwlwifi: fix possible recursive locking deadlock
commit f84b29ec0a
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Date:   Tue May 18 02:29:13 2010 -0700

    iwlwifi: queue user-initiated scan when doing internal scan

introduced a potential deadlock because it calls
ieee80211_scan_completed() with the priv->mutex
held, but mac80211 may call back into iwlwifi
which would lead to recursive locking. Move this
out from under the mutex.

4ced3f74da mac80211: move QoS-enable to BSS info
Ever since

commit e1b3ec1a2a
Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon Mar 29 12:18:34 2010 +0200

    mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS

mac80211 is telling drivers, in particular
iwlwifi, whether QoS is enabled or not.

However, this is only relevant for station mode,
since only then will any device send nullfunc
frames and need to know whether they should be
QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are
(currently) no frames the device is supposed to
send.

When you now consider virtual interfaces, it
becomes apparent that the current mechanism is
inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a
global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has
to be on a per-interface scale.

Due to the above considerations, we can change
the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to
drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in
station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

c04f9f2203 iwlwifi: fix fw_restart module parameter
fw_restart module parameter was broken by the recent check for stuck
queue patch, driver check the fx_restart module parameter
before reload the firmware; but the stuck queue timer kick in after
firmware error and reload the firmware even fw_restart=0. In this case,
driver should not reload the firmware, it is important to help debugging
uCode error.

The only case we can ignore the module parameter is when user request
firmware reload from debugfs, which can bypass the checking and perform
firmware reload all the time.
