We used to free all the Tx queues memory when interface is brought
down and reallocate them again in interface up. This requires
order-4 allocation for txq->cmd[]. In situations like s2ram, this
usually leads to allocation failure in the memory subsystem. The
patch fixed this problem by allocating the Tx queues memory only at
the first time. Later iwl_down/iwl_up only initialize but don't
free and reallocate them. The memory is freed at the device removal
time. BTW, we have already done this for the Rx queue.

When collecting tx data for non-aggregation packets in rate scaling, if
the tx data matches "other table", it still uses current table to update
the stats and calculate average throughput in function rs_collect_tx_data().
This can mess up the rate scaling data structure and cause a kernel panic
in a BUG_ON statement in rs_rate_scale_perform().
To fix this bug, we pass table pointer instead of window pointer (pointed
to by table pointer) to function rs_collect_tx_data() so that the table
being used is consistent.

IWL_RATE_COUNT is 13 and IWL_RATE_COUNT_LEGACY is 12.
IWL_RATE_COUNT_LEGACY is the right one here because iwl3945_rates
doesn't support 60M and also that's how "rates" is defined in
iwlcore_init_geos() from drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-core.c.
rates = kzalloc((sizeof(struct ieee80211_rate) * IWL_RATE_COUNT_LEGACY),
GFP_KERNEL);

An int urb is constructed but we fill it in with a bulk pipe type.
Commit f661c6f8c6 implemented a pipe type
check when CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is enabled. The check failed for all the ar9170
usb transfers and the driver could not configure the wifi dongle.
This went unnoticed until now because most people don't have
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG enabled.

Recent bug reports have shown that rt2500usb also suffers from the
powersave problems that the PCI rt2x00 drivers suffer from.
So disable powersaving by default for rt2500usb as well.

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.

"mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race
between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual
interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious
that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue
when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because
it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue
with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must
only enable the netdev queues once all the pending
packets have been processed and sent off to the device.
In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race
condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when
aggregation is being enabled.

Stanse discovered that kmalloc is being called with GFP_KERNEL while
holding this spinlock. The spinlock can be a mutex instead, which also
enables the removal of the unlock/lock around the lock/unlock of
cfg80211_mutex and the call to set_regdom.

Commit a239a8b47c introduced a
noisy message, that fills up the log very fast.
The error seems not to be fatal (the connection is stable and
performance is ok), so make it IWL_DEBUG_TX rather than IWL_ERR.

When I initially stumbled upon sequence number problems with PAE frames
in ath9k, I submitted a patch to remove all special cases for PAE
frames and let them go through the normal transmit path.
Out of concern about crypto incompatibility issues, this change was
merged instead:
commit 6c8afef551
Author: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com>
Date: Tue Feb 9 10:07:00 2010 +0530
ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames
After a lot of testing, I'm able to reliably trigger a driver crash on
rekeying with current versions with this change in place.
It seems that the driver does not support sending out regular MPDUs with
the same TID while an A-MPDU session is active.
This leads to duplicate entries in the TID Tx buffer, which hits the
following BUG_ON in ath_tx_addto_baw():
index = ATH_BA_INDEX(tid->seq_start, bf->bf_seqno);
cindex = (tid->baw_head + index) & (ATH_TID_MAX_BUFS - 1);
BUG_ON(tid->tx_buf[cindex] != NULL);
I believe until we actually have a reproducible case of an
incompatibility with another AP using no PAE special cases, we should
simply get rid of this mess.
This patch completely fixes my crash issues in STA mode and makes it
stay connected without throughput drops or connectivity issues even
when the AP is configured to a very short group rekey interval.
