rt2x00: Implement watchdog monitoring

2010-07-12T20:05:34+00:00

Implement watchdog monitoring for USB devices (PCI support can
be added later). This will determine if URBs being uploaded to
the hardware are actually returning. Both rt2500usb and rt2800usb
have shown that URBs being uploaded can remain hanging without
being released by the hardware.
By using this watchdog, a queue can be reset when this occurs.
For rt2800usb it has been tested that the connection is preserved
even though this interruption.

rt2x00: Rename driver write_tx_datadesc callback function.

2010-06-30T19:00:50+00:00

Now that the {usb,pci} specific write_tx_data functions are no longer
present we can rename the write_tx_datadesc callback function back to
its old name.

rt2x00: Merge PCI and USB versions of write_tx_data into single function.

2010-06-30T19:00:50+00:00

Now that rt2x00pci_write_tx_data and rt2x00usb_write_tx_data are similar
we can merge them in a single function in rt2x00queue.c.

rt2x00: Fix IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES handling

2010-06-15T20:00:49+00:00

IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES indicates that more frames are queued for tx
but has nothing to do with fragmentation. Hence, don't set ENTRY_TXD_MORE_FRAG
but only ENTRY_TXD_BURST to not kick the tx queues immediately.

rt2x00: Properly reserve room for descriptors in skbs.

2010-06-03T08:51:45+00:00

Instead of fiddling with the skb->data pointer and thereby risking
out of bounds accesses, properly reserve the space needed in an
skb for descriptors.

rt2x00: Push beacon TX descriptor writing to drivers.

2010-06-03T08:51:41+00:00

Not all the devices require a TX descriptor to be written (i.e. rt2800
device don't require them). Push down the creation of the TX descriptor
to the device drivers so that they can decide for themselves whether
a TX descriptor is to be created.

rt2x00: Dump beacons under a different identifier than TX frames.

2010-05-12T20:50:43+00:00

This allows for specific identification of beacons in the debugfs
frame stream.
Preparation for later differences between dumped TX frames and dumped
beacons.

rt2x00: Simplify TXD handling of beacons.

2010-05-12T20:41:44+00:00

The handling of tx descriptors for beacons can be simplified by updating
write_tx_desc implementations of each driver to write directly to the
queue entry descriptor instead of to a provided memory area.
This is also a preparation for further clean ups where descriptors are
properly reserved in the skb instead of fiddling with the skb data
pointer.
