Commit c7ab5ef9bcd281135c21b4732c9be779585181be entitled "b43: implement
short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for
my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling
portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling.
Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never
called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the
value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain
the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value
of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value
in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased
performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic
improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s.
Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the
MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating
in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs.

As shown in Kernel Bugzilla #14761, doing a controller restart after a
fatal DMA error does not accomplish anything other than consume the CPU
on an affected system. Accordingly, substitute a meaningful message for
the restart.

The routine b43_is_hw_radio_enabled() has long been a problem.
For PPC architecture with PHY Revision < 3, a read of the register
B43_MMIO_HWENABLED_LO will cause a CPU fault unless b43_status()
returns a value of 2 (B43_STAT_STARTED) (BUG 14181). Fixing that
results in Bug 14538 in which the driver is unable to reassociate
after resuming from hibernation because b43_status() returns 0.
The correct fix would be to determine why the status is 0; however,
I have not yet found why that happens. The correct value is found for
my device, which has PHY revision >= 3.
Returning TRUE when the PHY revision < 3 and b43_status() returns 0 fixes
the regression for 2.6.32.
This patch fixes the problem in Red Hat Bugzilla #538523.

Most of the irq_req_t typedef'd struct can be re-worked quite
easily:
(1) IRQInfo2 was unused in any case, so drop it.
(2) IRQInfo1 was used write-only, so drop it.
(3) Instance (private data to be passed to the IRQ handler):
Most PCMCIA drivers using pcmcia_request_irq() to actually
register an IRQ handler set the "dev_id" to the same pointer
as the "priv" pointer in struct pcmcia_device. Modify the two
exceptions (ipwireless, ibmtr_cs) to also work this waym and
set the IRQ handler's "dev_id" to p_dev->priv unconditionally.
(4) Handler is to be of type irq_handler_t.
(5) Handler != NULL already tells whether an IRQ handler is present.
Therefore, we do not need the IRQ_HANDLER_PRESENT flag in
irq_req_t.Attributes.

This rewrites the error handling policies in the TX status handler.
It tries to be error-tolerant as in "try hard to not crash the machine".
It won't recover from errors (that are bugs in the firmware or driver),
because that's impossible. However, it will return a more or less useful
error message and bail out. It also tries hard to use rate-limited messages
to not flood the syslog in case of a failure.

Enforce all device constraints on the descriptor memory region.
There are several constraints on the descriptor memory, as documented
in the specification. The current code does not enforce them and/or
incorrectly enforces them.
Those constraints are:
- The address limitations on 30/32bit engines, that also apply to
the skbs.
- The 4k alignment requirement on 30/32bit engines.
- The 8k alignment requirement on 64bit engines.

ops->set_tim() must be atomic, so b43 trying to acquire a mutex leads
to a kernel crash. This patch trades an easy to trigger crash in AP
mode for an unlikely race condition. According to Michael, the real
fix would be to allow set_tim() to sleep, since b43 is not the only
driver that needs to sleep in all callbacks.

While there may be a case for a driver adding its
own bits of radiotap information, none currently
does. Also, drivers would have to copy the code
to generate the radiotap bits that now mac80211
generates. If some driver in the future needs to
add some driver-specific information I'd expect
that to be in a radiotap vendor namespace and we
can add a different way of passing such data up
and having mac80211 include it.
Additionally, rename IEEE80211_CONF_RADIOTAP to
IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR since it's still used by
b43(legacy) to obtain per-frame timestamps.
The purpose of this patch is to simplify the RX
code in mac80211 to make it easier to add paged
skb support.

b43 allocates a bouncebuffer, if the supplied TX skb is in an invalid
memory range for DMA.
However, this is broken in that it fails to copy over some metadata to the
new skb.
This patch fixes three problems:
* Failure to adjust the ieee80211_tx_info pointer to the new buffer.
This results in a kmemcheck warning.
* Failure to copy the skb cb, which contains ieee80211_tx_info, to the new skb.
This results in breakage of various TX-status postprocessing (Rate control).
* Failure to transfer the queue mapping.
This results in the wrong queue being stopped on saturation and can result in queue overflow.

"b43: Fix PPC crash in rfkill polling on unload" fixed the bug reported
in Bugzilla No. 14181; however, it introduced a new bug. Whenever the
radio switch was turned off, it was necessary to unload and reload
the driver for it to recognize the switch again.
This patch fixes both the original bug in #14181 and the bug introduced by
the previous patch. It must be stated, however, that if there is a BCM4306/3
with an rfkill switch (not yet proven), then the driver will need an
unload/reload cycle to turn the device back on.
