      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep · 34e89507
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Many drivers would like to sleep during station
      addition and removal, and currently have a high
      complexity there from not being able to.
      
      This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
      sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
      of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
      the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
      fail.
      
      The reason we didn't do this previously is that
      the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
      RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
      This patch will keep the station allocation in
      that path, but moves adding the station to the
      driver out of line. Since the addition can now
      fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
      rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
      station but never tell the driver about it in
      the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
      a driver that has a low limit on the number of
      stations and that cannot talk to any stations
      that are not known to it, we need to do come up
      with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
      maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

      mac80211: reduce reliance on netdev · 47846c9b
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have
      a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so
      prepare for that by reducing the reliance on
      having a netdev. This patch moves the name
      and address fields into the sdata struct and
      uses them from there all over. Some work is
      needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not
      a lot of work and in slow paths anyway.
      
      In doing so, this also reduces the number of
      pointer dereferences in many places, because
      of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming
      sdata->vif.addr.

      mac80211: make station management completely depend on vif · abe60632
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The station management currently uses the virtual
      interface, but you cannot add the same station to
      multiple virtual interfaces if you're communicating
      with it in multiple ways.
      
      This restriction should be lifted so that in the
      future we can, for instance, support bluetooth 3
      with an access point that mac80211 is already
      associated to.
      
      We can do that by requiring all sta_info_get users
      to provide the virtual interface and making the RX
      code aware that an address may match more than one
      station struct. Thanks to the previous patches this
      one isn't all that large and except for the RX and
      TX status paths changes has low complexity.

      mac80211: cancel/restart all timers across suspend/resume · 5bb644a0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending.
      In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can
      cause hardware reconfiguration -- while it is down.
      
      While at it we go ahead and add a warning in ieee80211_sta_work()
      if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This
      should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is
      a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers.
      
      With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend
      and resume where as before there where issues with some timers
      running during the suspend->resume cycle. This caused a lot of
      incorrect assumptions and would at times bring back the device
      in an incoherent, but mostly recoverable, state.

      mac80211: proper STA info locking · 07346f81
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      As discussed earlier, we can unify locking in struct sta_info
      and use just a single spinlock protecting all members of the
      structure that need protection. Many don't, but one of the
      especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently
      be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different
      CPUs at the same time.
      
      Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive
      parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills
      the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one
      for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this
      is safe.
      
      It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta
      flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this
      is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be
      very simple using the new static inline functions this patch
      introduces for accessing sta->flags.
      
      Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't
      be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the
      same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which
      is in a bh context.
