2008-06-27ssb, b43, b43legacy, b44: Rewrite SSB DMA APIMichael Buesch
This is a rewrite of the DMA API for SSB devices. This is needed, because the old (non-existing) "API" made too many bad assumptions on the API of the host-bus (PCI). This introduces an almost complete SSB-DMA-API that maps to the lowlevel bus-API based on the bustype. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

Sparse produces warnings about nested contain_of() statements, this means that lines like: interface_to_usbdev(to_usb_interface(rt2x00dev->dev)); will upset sparse.

With a bit of code moving to rt2x00lib within the TX and RX paths we can now remove a lot of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() statements.

2008-06-26rt2x00: Replace statically allocated DMA buffers with mapped skb's.Gertjan van Wingerde
The current PCI drivers require a lot of pre-allocated DMA buffers. Reduce this by using dynamically mapped skb's (using pci_map_single) instead of the pre- allocated DMA buffers that are allocated at device start-up time. At the same time move common RX path code into rt2x00lib from rt2x00pci and rt2x00usb, as the RX paths now are now almost the same.

At the same time clean up the device administration a bit, by storing a pointer to struct device instead of a void pointer that is dependent on the type of device. The normal PCI and USB subsystem provided macros can be used to convert the device pointer to the right type. This makes the rt2x00 driver a bit more type-safe.

2008-06-26rfkill: rename the rfkill_state states and add block-locked stateHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The current naming of rfkill_state causes a lot of confusion: not only the "kill" in rfkill suggests negative logic, but also the fact that rfkill cannot turn anything on (it can just force something off or stop forcing something off) is often forgotten. Rename RFKILL_STATE_OFF to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked and will not operate; state can be changed by a toggle_radio request), and RFKILL_STATE_ON to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED (transmitter is not blocked, and may operate). Also, add a new third state, RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked and will not operate; state cannot be changed through a toggle_radio request), which is used by drivers to indicate a wireless transmiter was blocked by a hardware rfkill line that accepts no overrides. Keep the old names as #defines, but document them as deprecated. This way, drivers can be converted to the new names *and* verified to actually use rfkill correctly one by one.

Rework the documentation so as to make sure driver writers understand exactly where the boundaries are for input drivers related to rfkill switches, buttons and keys, and rfkill class drivers. Also fix a small error in the documentation: setting the state of a normal instance of the rfkill class does not affect the state of any other devices (unless they are tied by firmware/hardware somehow).

2008-06-26rfkill: do not allow userspace to override ALL RADIOS OFFHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
SW_RFKILL_ALL is the "emergency power-off all radios" input event. It must be handled, and must always do the same thing as far as the rfkill system is concerned: all transmitters are to go *immediately* offline. For safety, do NOT allow userspace to override EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL OFF. As long as rfkill-input is loaded, that event will *always* be processed, and it will *always* force all rfkill switches to disable all wireless transmitters, regardless of user_claim attribute or anything else.

2008-06-26rfkill: drop current_state from tasks in rfkill-inputFabien Crespel

2008-06-26rfkill: add uevent notificationsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Use the notification chains to also send uevents, so that userspace can be notified of state changes of every rfkill switch. Userspace should use these events for OSD/status report applications and rfkill GUI frontends. HAL might want to broadcast them over DBUS, for example. It might be also useful for userspace implementations of rfkill-input, or to use HAL as the platform driver which promotes rfkill switch change events into input events (to synchronize all other switches) when necessary for platforms that lack a convenient platform-specific kernel module to do it.

2008-06-26rfkill: add notifier chains supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Add a notifier chain for use by the rfkill class. This notifier chain signals the following events (more to be added when needed): 1. rfkill: rfkill device state has changed A pointer to the rfkill struct will be passed as a parameter. The notifier message types have been added to include/linux/rfkill.h instead of to include/linux/notifier.h in order to avoid the madness of modifying a header used globally (and that triggers an almost full tree rebuild every time it is touched) with information that is of interest only to code that includes the rfkill.h header.

2008-06-26rfkill: rework suspend and resume handlersHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The resume handler should reset the wireless transmitter rfkill state to exactly what it was when the system was suspended. Do it, and do it using the normal routines for state change while at it. The suspend handler should force-switch the transmitter to blocked state, ignoring caches. Do it. Also take an opportunity shot to rfkill_remove_switch() and also force the transmitter to blocked state there, bypassing caches.

2008-06-26rfkill: add the WWAN radio typeHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Unfortunately, instead of adding a generic Wireless WAN type, a technology- specific type (WiMAX) was added. That's useless for other WWAN devices, such as EDGE, UMTS, X-RTT and other such radios. Add a WWAN rfkill type for generic wireless WAN devices. No keys are added as most devices really want to use KEY_WLAN for WWAN control (in a cycle of none, WLAN, WWAN, WLAN+WWAN) and need no specific keycode added.

2008-06-26rfkill: add read-write rfkill switch supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Currently, rfkill support for read/write rfkill switches is hacked through a round-trip over the input layer and rfkill-input to let a driver sync rfkill->state to hardware changes. This is buggy and sub-optimal. It causes real problems. It is best to think of the rfkill class as supporting only write-only switches at the moment. In order to implement the read/write functionality properly: Add a get_state() hook that is called by the class every time it needs to fetch the current state of the switch. Add a call to this hook every time the *current* state of the radio plays a role in a decision. Also add a force_state() method that can be used to forcefully syncronize the class' idea of the current state of the switch. This allows for a faster implementation of the read/write functionality, as a driver which get events on switch changes can avoid the need for a get_state() hook. If the get_state() hook is left as NULL, current behaviour is maintained, so this change is fully backwards compatible with the current rfkill drivers. For hardware that issues events when the rfkill state changes, leave get_state() NULL in the rfkill struct, set the initial state properly before registering with the rfkill class, and use the force_state() method in the driver to keep the rfkill interface up-to-date. get_state() can be called by the class from atomic context. It must not sleep. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-06-26rfkill: add parameter to disable radios by defaultHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Currently, radios are always enabled when their rfkill interface is registered. This is not optimal, the safest state for a radio is to be offline unless the user turns it on. Add a module parameter that causes all radios to be disabled when their rfkill interface is registered. The module default is not changed so unless the parameter is used, radios will still be forced to their enabled state when they are registered. The new rfkill module parameter is called "default_state". Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-06-26rfkill: clarify meaning of rfkill statesHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
rfkill really should have been named rfswitch. As it is, one can get confused whether RFKILL_STATE_ON means the KILL switch is on (and therefore, the radio is being *blocked* from operating), or whether it means the RADIO rf output is on. Clearly state that RFKILL_STATE_ON means the radio is *unblocked* from operating (i.e. there is no rf killing going on).
