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).

a0a4c4c9e5 wimax/i2400m: sdio: set the block size before enabling the function
From a fix by Cindy H Kao:

  Block size has to be set before sending IOE enable because the
  firmware reads the block size register before it reads IOE register.

052991d7ac wimax/i2400m: remove redundant readiness checks from i2400m_report_tlv_*()
Functions i2400m_report_tlv*() are only called from
i2400m_report_hook(), called in a workqueue by
i2400m_report_hook_work(). The scheduler checks for device readiness
before scheduling.

Added an extra check for readiness in i2400m_report_hook_work(), which
makes all the checks down the line redundant.

Obviously the device state could change in the middle, but error
handling would take care of that.

223beea238 wimax/i2400m: allow kernel commands to device to be logged too
By running 'echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/wimax:wmxX/i2400m/trace_msg_from_user',
the driver will echo to user space all the commands being sent to the
device from user space, along with the responses.

However, this only helps with the commands being sent from user space;
with this patch, the trace hook is moved to i2400m_msg_to_dev(), which
is the single access point for running commands to the device (both by
user space and the kernel driver). This allows better debugging by
having a complete stream of commands/acks and reports.

44b849d11b wimax/i2400m: trace commands sent from user space on the "echo" pipe
When commands are sent from user space, trace both the command sent
and the answer received over the "echo" pipe instead of over the
"trace" pipe when command tracing is enabled. As well, when the device
sends a reports/indications, send it over the "echo" pipe.

The "trace" pipe is used by the device to send firmware traces;
gets confusing. Another named pipe makes it easier to split debug
information.

fe44268385 wimax/i2400m: generate fake source MAC address with random_ether_addr()
The WiMAX i2400m driver needs to generate a fake source MAC address to
fake an ethernet header (for destination, the card's MAC is
used). This is the source of the packet, which is the basestation it
came from. The basestation's mac address is not usable for this, as it
uses its own namespace and it is not always available.

Currently the fake source MAC address was being set to all zeros,
which was causing trouble with bridging.

Use random_ether_addr() to generate a proper one that creates no
trouble.

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.

RX is implemented in a similar fashion, but reads are kicked in by the

reset notifications are also sent via the notification endpoint.

We need a thread contexts to run USB autopm functions (blocking) and
to process the received data (can get to be heavy in processing
time).

aa5a7acabe i2400m: RX and TX data/control paths
Handling of TX/RX data to/from the i2400m device (IP packets, control
and diagnostics). On RX, this parses the received read transaction
from the device, breaks it in chunks and passes it to the
corresponding subsystems (network and control).

Transmission to the device is done through a software FIFO, as
data/control frames can be coalesced (while the device is reading the
previous tx transaction, others accumulate). A FIFO is used because at
the end it is resource-cheaper that scatter/gather over USB. As well,
most traffic is going to be download (vs upload).

467cc396fb i2400m: firmware loading and bootrom initialization
Implements the firmware loader (using the bus-specific driver's
backends for the actual upload). The most critical thing in here is
the piece that puts the device in boot-mode from any other
(undetermined) state, otherwise, it is just pushing the bytes from the
firmware file to the device.

ce6cde9280 i2400m: linkage to the networking stack
Implementation of the glue to the network stack so the WiMAX device
shows up as an Ethernet device.

Initially we shot for implementing a Pure IP device -- however, the
world seems to turn around Ethernet devices. Main issues were with the
ISC DHCP client and servers (as they don't understand types other than
Ethernet and Token Ring).

We proceeded to register with IANA the PureIP hw type, so that DHCP
requests could declare such. We also created patches to the main ISC
DHCP versions to support it. However, until all that permeates into
deployments, there is going to be a long time.

So we moved back to wrap Ethernet frames around the PureIP device. At
the time being this has overhead; we need to reallocate with space for
an Ethernet header. The reason is the device-to-host protocol
coalesces many network packets into a single message, so we can't
introduce Ethernet headers without overwriting valid data from other
packets.

Coming-soon versions of the firmware have this issue solved.

024f7f31ed i2400m: Generic probe/disconnect, reset and message passing
Implements the generic probe and disconnect functions that will be
called by the USB and SDIO driver's probe/disconnect functions.

Implements the backends for the WiMAX stack's basic operations:
message passing, rfkill control and reset.

ea24652d25 i2400m: host/device procotol and core driver definitions
The wimax/i2400m.h defines the structures and constants for the
host-device protocols:

 - boot / firmware upload protocol

 - general data transport protocol

 - control protocol

It is done in such a way that can also be used verbatim by user space.

drivers/net/wimax/i2400m.h defines all the APIs used by the core,
bus-generic driver (i2400m) and the bus specific drivers
(i2400m-BUSNAME). It also gives a roadmap to the driver
implementation.

debug-levels.h adds the core driver's debug settings.
