We activate/deactivate QoS and setup default queue parameters in iwlwifi
driver. Mac stack do the same, so we do not need repeat that work here.
Stack also will tell when disable QoS, this will fix driver when working
with older APs, that do not have QoS implemented.
Patch make "force = true" in iwl_active_qos() assuming we always want
to do with QoS what mac stack wish.
Patch also remove unused qos_cap bits, do not initialize qos_active = 0,
as we have it initialized to zero by kzalloc.

Previously in interrupt handling tasklet, iwlwifi driver only clear/ack
those interrupts that are enabled by the driver through inta_mask.
If the hardware generates unattended interrupts, driver will not ack them,
defeating the interrupt coalescing feature. This results in high number
of interrupts per second and high CPU utilization.
This patch addresses this issue by acking those unattended interrupts
in the tasklet. Local test showed an order of magnitude improvement
in terms of the number of interrupts without sacrificing networking
throughput. This is a workaround for hardware issue.

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.

mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.
This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change
this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211.
With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always
present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is
sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after
such an RXON command is sent.
We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station
table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios:
- only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC
bit is sent
- clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed.
We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the
device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but
do add the interface during reconfiguration.
Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is
cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys
are set and cleared correctly.
There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP
without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is
because of the lack of full station notification support and the later
patches in this series that complete the station notification support will
fix this.

This reverts commit 21b2d8bd2f0d4e0f21ade147fd193c8b9c1fd2b9.
As explained by Johannes:
When we
build a probe request frame in the buffer with the SSID, we could
arrive over the limit of 200 bytes. When we build it in the buffer
without the SSID (wildcard) we don't arrive over 200 bytes, but the
ucode still allows direct probe in addition because it has an internal
buffer that is larger when it inserts the SSID...

At the wireless summit in Portland we discussed a way of
loading firmware asynchronously from ->probe() before
registration to mac80211, in order to register with the
wireless subsystems with complete information in cases
where firmware is required to know parameters.
This is not yet the case in iwlwifi, but for some new
features we're working on it will be the case since
those will only be supported by new firmware images.
Hence, to start with, convert iwlwifi to load firmware
asynchronously from probe, unbinding the device when
firmware loading fails, and only registering with the
wireless subsystems after firmware has been loaded
successfully.
Future patches will hook into this to register the
new firmware capabilities, depending on the firmware
API version.

This reverts commit 1db5950f1d0b82e07371b211a48317b8972da063.
The goal of "iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure"
is to first detect when data transmission stalls and then to recover from
this situation with a reset of the radio or the firmware, depending on how
bad the transmission failures are.
Unfortunately we have found that this change causes excessive resets with
its current detection algorithm. It also performs its recovery action when
none is really needed, like when we are not associated.
Revert this change until the issues have been addressed.

This change monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the expected_
ack_count also drops. At the same time, the aggregated ba_timeout (the number
of ba timeout retries) also rises. If the actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count
ratio is 0 and the number of ba timeout retries rises to 16, no tx packets
(tcp, udp, or ping - icmp) can be delivered. The driver recovers from this
situation by reseting the uCode firmware. If the actual_ack_count/expected_
ack_count ratio drops below 50% (but not 0) and the aggregated ba_timeout
retries just exceed 5 (but not 16), then the driver can reset the radio to
bring the throughput up.

To ensure that card is in a sane state during probe we add a reset call.
This change was prompted by users of kdump who was not able to bring up the
wireless driver in the kdump kernel. The problem here was that the primary
kernel, which is not running at the time, left the wireless card up and
running. When the kdump kernel starts it is thus possible to immediately
receive interrupts from firmware after registering interrupt, but without
being ready to deal with interrupts from firmware yet.

When running directed active scans we currently end up sending both the SSID
probe requests and an additional broadcast one.
This is due to the fact that we always leave the probe request template SSID IE
length to 0. Instead we should set it to the first SSID to scan, and fill the
direct_scan array with the remaining SSIDs to scan for. This way we only send
what we've been asked to: a broadcast probe request when no directed scan is
requested, and directed probe requests otherwise.

In iwlagn the support for spectrum measurement command has been
disabled since v2.6.29 without any requests for it. In addition to this
when this command is indeed enabled it has been found to trigger firmware
SYSASSERT on at least 4965 and 5100 hardware (see
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 ). Since then
this code has been bitrotting and cannot just be enabled without porting.
Remove support for spectrum measurement command from iwlagn. It can be
added back if there is a future need and the firmware problem it triggers
has been fixed. Support for the spectrim measurement notification remains
as it has been enabled all the time.
In addition to this remove the 3945 spectrum measurement command Kconfig
option and make this command always supported. The code added by this
enabling is minimal and only run when user triggers a spectrum measurement
request via sysfs.

Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it
in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and
iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add
that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality
resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code
reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This
seems to be an efficient solution.
It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945
broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since
the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always
set.
