ipw2200: Fix race condition in the command completion acknowledge

2012-05-07T15:56:40+00:00

commit dd447319895d0c0af423e483d9b63f84f3f8869a upstream.

Driver incorrectly validates command completion: instead of waiting
for a command to be acknowledged it continues execution.  Most of the
time driver gets acknowledge of the command completion in a tasklet
before it executes the next one. But sometimes it sends the next
command before it gets acknowledge for the previous one. In such a
case one of the following error messages appear in the log:

Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command.
Failed to send ASSOCIATE: Already sending a command.
Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.

After that you need to reload the driver to get it working again.

This bug occurs during roaming (reported by Sam Varshavchik)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738508
and machine booting (reported by Tom Gundersen and Mads Kiilerich)
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28097
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802106

This patch doesn't fix the delay issue during firmware load.
But at least device now works as usual after boot.

wireless/ipw2x00: use system_wq instead of dedicated workqueues

2011-01-26T11:12:50+00:00

With cmwq, there's no reason to use separate workqueues in ipw2x00
drivers.  Drop them and use system_wq instead.  All used work items
are sync canceled on driver detach.

ipw2200: Check for -1 INTA in tasklet too.

2011-01-10T20:40:53+00:00

This is an attempt to fix a long standing open bug:
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1334

The interrupt handler checks for INTA being -1, apparently that means that the
hardware is gone. But the interrupt handler defers actual interrupt processing
to a tasklet. By the time the tasklet is run and checks INTA again, the
hardware might be gone and INTA be -1, which confuses the driver because all
event bits are set.

The patch applies to 2.6.37.

ipw2x00: remove the right /proc/net entry

2010-11-06T01:57:04+00:00

Commit 27ae60f8f7aa ("ipw2x00: replace "ieee80211" with "libipw" where
appropriate") changed DRV_NAME to be "libipw", but didn't properly fix
up the places where it was used to specify the name for the /proc/net/
directory.

For backwards compatibility reasons, that directory name remained
"ieee80211", but due to the DRV_NAME change, the error case printouts
and the cleanup functions now used "libipw" instead.  Which made it all
fail badly.

For example, on module unload as reported by Randy:

  WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:816 remove_proc_entry+0x156/0x35e()
  name 'libipw'

because it's trying to unregister a /proc directory that obviously
doesn't even exist.

Clean it all up to use DRV_PROCNAME for the actual /proc directory name.
