2009-10-19wimax/i6x50: add Intel WiFi/WiMAX Link 6050 Series supportDirk Brandewie
Add support for the WiMAX device in the Intel WiFi/WiMAX Link 6050 Series; this involves: - adding the device ID to bind to and an endpoint mapping for the driver to use. - at probe() time, some things are set depending on the device id: + the list of firmware names to try + mapping of endpoints Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>
2009-10-19wimax/i2400m: fix reboot echo/ack barker deadlockInaky Perez-Gonzalez
The i2400m based devices can get in a sort of a deadlock some times; when they boot, they send a reboot "barker" (a magic number) and then the driver has to echo that same barker to ack reception (echo/ack). Then the device does a final ack by sending an ACK barker. The first time this happens, we don't know ahead of time with barker the device is going to send, as different device models and SKUs will send different barker depending on the EEPROM programming. If the device has sent the barker before the driver has been able to read it, the driver looses, as it doesn't know which barker it has to echo/ack back. With older devices, we tried a couple of combinations and that always worked; but now, with adding support for more, in which we have an unlimited number of new barkers, that is not an option. So we rework said case so that when the device gets stuck, we just cycle through all the known types until one forces the device to send an ack. Otherwise, the driver gives up and aborts.

2009-10-19wimax/i2400m: decide properly if using signed vs non-signed firmware loadingInaky Perez-Gonzalez
The i2400m based devices can boot two main types of firmware images: signed and non-signed. Signed images have signature data included that must match that of a certificate stored in the device. Currently the code is making the decission on what type of firmware load (signed vs non-signed) is going to be loaded based on a hardcoded decission in __i2400m_ack_verify(), based on the barker the device sent upon boot. This is not flexible enough as future hardware will emit more barkers; thus the bit has to be set in a place where there is better knowledge of what is going on. This will be done in follow-up commits -- however this patch paves the way for it. So the querying of the mode is packed into i2400m_boot_is_signed(); the main changes are just using i2400m_boot_is_signed() to determine the method to follow and setting i2400m->sboot in i2400m_is_boot_barker(). The modifications in i2400m_dnload_init() and i2400m_dnload_finalize() are just reorganizing the order of the if blocks and thus look larger than they really are.

2009-10-19wimax: allow specifying debug levels as command line optionInaky Perez-Gonzalez
Add "debug" module options to all the wimax modules (including drivers) so that the debug levels can be set upon kernel boot or module load time. This is needed as currently there was a limitation where the debug levels could only be set when a device was succesfully enumerated. This made it difficult to debug issues that made a device not probe properly. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>
2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: rename misleading I2400M_PL_PAD to I2400M_PL_ALIGNInaky Perez-Gonzalez
The constant is being use as an alignment factor, not as a padding factor; made reading/reviewing the code quite confusing. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>
2009-03-02wimax/i2400m: implement RX reorder supportInaky Perez-Gonzalez
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. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-03-02wimax/i2400m: support extended data RX protocol (no need to reallocate skbs)Inaky Perez-Gonzalez
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.

2009-03-02wimax/i2400m: allow control of the base-station idle mode timeoutInaky Perez-Gonzalez
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.

2009-01-07i2400m: host/device procotol and core driver definitionsInaky Perez-Gonzalez
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.

2009-01-07wimax: debug macros and debug settings for the WiMAX stackInaky Perez-Gonzalez
This file contains a simple debug framework that is used in the stack; it allows the debug level to be controlled at compile-time (so the debug code is optimized out) and at run-time (for what wasn't compiled out). This is eventually going to be moved to use dynamic_printk(). Just need to find time to do it.
