iwmc3200wifi: remove driver for unavailable hardware

2012-07-10T16:16:32+00:00

This hardware never became available to normal humans. Leaving this driver imposes unwelcome maintenance costs for no clear benefit. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Acked-by: Samuel Ortiz

iwmc3200wifi: Return proper error for iwm_if_alloc

2011-01-13T20:46:44+00:00

In the case of alloc_netdev_mq failure and kmalloc failure, current implementation returns ERR_PTR(0). As a result, the caller of iwm_if_alloc does not catch the error by IS_ERR macro. Fix it by setting proper error code for ret variable in the failure cases. Signed-off-by: Axel Lin Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

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.

iwmc3200wifi: 802.11n Tx aggregation support

2009-11-28T20:04:44+00:00

To support 802.11n Tx aggregation support with iwmc3200 wifi, we have to handle the UMAC_CMD_OPCODE_STOP_RESUME_STA_TX notification from the UMAC. Before sending an AddBA, the UMAC synchronizes with the host in order to know what is the last Tx frame it's supposed to receive before it will be able to start the actual aggregation session. We thus have to keep track of the last sequence number that is scheduled for transmission on a particular RAxTID, send an answer to the UMAC with this sequence number. The UMAC then does the BA negociation and once it's done with it sends a new UMAC_CMD_OPCODE_STOP_RESUME_STA_TX notification to let us know that we can resume the Tx flow on the specified RAxTID.

iwmc3200wifi: CT kill support

2009-10-27T20:48:24+00:00

We set the initial CT (Temperature control) value to 110 degrees. If the chip goes over that threshold, we hard block the device which will turn it down. At the same time we schedule a 30 seconds delayed work that unblock the device (and userspace is supposed to bring it back up), hoping that the chip will have cooled down by then...

cfg80211: self-contained wext handling where possible

2009-07-29T19:46:20+00:00

Finally! This is what you've all been waiting for! This patch makes cfg80211 take care of wext emulation _completely_ by itself, drivers that don't need things cfg80211 doesn't do yet don't even need to be aware of wireless extensions. This means we can also clean up mac80211's and iwm's Kconfig and make it possible to build them w/o wext now! RIP wext. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

wireless: ERR_PTR vs null

iwm_wdev_alloc() returns an ERR_PTR on failure and not null. It also prints its own dev_err() message so I removed that as well. Compile tested only. Sorry. Found by smatch (http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git). Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Acked-by: Zhu Yi Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
