d2f4c10544 wimax: fix warning caused by not checking retval of rfkill_set_hw_state()
Caused by an API update. The return value can be safely ignored, as
there is notthing we can do with it.

19d337dff9 rfkill: rewrite
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:

 * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
   rather than having one central implementation

 * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
   contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
   lots of code

 * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
   internally -- the core should do this

 * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
   asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister

 * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
   driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
   should be avoided

 * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module

 * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
   depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
   that do nothing if it isn't compiled in

 * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
   it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
   force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()

 * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
   reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS

 * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
   operations in locked sections

 * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
   changes -- this wasn't done before

7f0333eb2f wimax: Add netlink interface to get device state
wimax connection manager / daemon has to know what is current
state of the device. Previously it was only possible to get
notification whet state has changed.

Note:

 By mistake, the new generic netlink's number for
 WIMAX_GNL_OP_STATE_GET was declared inserting into the existing list
 of API calls, not appending; thus, it'd break existing API.

 Fixed by Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> by moving to
 the tail, where we add to the interface, not modify the interface.

 Thanks to Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> for catching this.

94c7f2d495 wimax: oops: wimax_dev_add() is the only one that can initialize the state
When a new wimax_dev is created, it's state has to be __WIMAX_ST_NULL
until wimax_dev_add() is succesfully called. This allows calls into
the stack that happen before said time to be rejected.

Until now, the state was being set (by mistake) to UNINITIALIZED,
which was allowing calls such as wimax_report_rfkill_hw() to go
through even when a call to wimax_dev_add() had failed; that was
causing an oops when touching uninitialized data.

This situation is normal when the device starts reporting state before
the whole initialization has been completed. It just has to be dealt
with.

When sending a message to user space using wimax_msg(), if nla_put()
fails, correctly interpret the return code from wimax_msg_alloc() as
an err ptr and return the error code instead of crashing (as it is

621cac8529 rfkill: remove user_claim stuff
Almost all drivers do not support user_claim, so remove it
completely and always report -EOPNOTSUPP to userspace. Since
userspace cannot really drive rfkill _anyway_ (due to the
odd restrictions imposed by the documentation) having this
code is just pointless.

1d7b33f77b wimax: fix oops in wimax_dev_get_by_genl_info() when looking up non-wimax iface
When a non-wimax interface is looked up by the stack, a bad pointer is
returned when the looked-up interface is not found in the list (of
registered WiMAX interfaces). This causes an oops in the caller when
trying to use the pointer.

Fix by properly setting the pointer to NULL if we don't exit from the
list_for_each() with a found entry.

ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

1af7ad5104 wimax: fix build issue when debugfs is disabled
As reported by Toralf Förster and Randy Dunlap.

- http://linuxwimax.org/pipermail/wimax/2009-January/000460.html

- http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/279

The definitions needed for the wimax stack and i2400m driver debug
infrastructure was, by mistake, compiled depending on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
(by them being placed in the debugfs.c files); thus the build broke in
2.6.29-rc3 when debugging was enabled (CONFIG_WIMAX_DEBUG) and
DEBUG_FS was disabled.

These definitions are always needed if debug is enabled at compile
time (independently of DEBUG_FS being or not enabled), so moving them
to a file that is always compiled fixes the issue.

a2e9da4b09 wimax: testing for rfkill support should also test for CONFIG_RFKILL_MODULE

71f78afd67 wimax: fix kconfig interactions with rfkill and input layers
WiMAX can work without RFKILL, but it was missing a check to make sure
RFKILL is not being made a module with wimax compiled into the
kernel. This caused failed builds in s390, where CONFIG_INPUT is
always off.

When RFKILL is enabled, the code uses the input layer to report
hardware switch changes; thus, if RFKILL is enabled, INPUT has to be
too. It also needs to display some message when INPUT is disabled that
explains why WiMAX is not selectable.

(issues found by Randy Dunlap in the linux-next tree).

d48e470f76 wimax: fix '#ifndef CONFIG_BUG' layout to avoid warning
Reported by Randy Dunlap:

> Also, this warning needs to be fixed:
>
> linux-next-20090106/net/wimax/id-table.c:133: warning: ISO C90
> forbids mixed declarations and code

Move the return on #defined(CONFIG_BUG) below the variable
declarations so it doesn't violate ISO C90.

On wimax_id_table_release() we want to do a debug check if CONFIG_BUG
is enabled. However, we also want the debug code to be always compiled
to ensure there is no bitrot. It will be optimized out by the compiler
when CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

Added a note to the function header stating this.

3e65646bb1 wimax: basic API: kernel/user messaging, rfkill and reset
Implements the three basic operations provided by the stack's control
interface to WiMAX devices:

- Messaging channel between user space and driver/device

  This implements a direct communication channel between user space
  and the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back
  and forth.

  This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc.

- RF-kill framework integration

  Provide most of the RF-Kill integration for WiMAX drivers so that
  all device drivers have to do is after wimax_dev_add() is call
  wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to update initial state and then every
  time it changes.

  Provides wimax_rfkill() for the kernel to call to set software
  RF-Kill status and/or query current hardware and software switch
  status.

  Exports wimax_rfkill() over generic netlink to user space.

- Reset a WiMAX device

  Provides wimax_reset() for the kernel to reset a wimax device as
  needed and exports it over generic netlink to user space.

This API is clearly limited, as it still provides no way to do the
basic scan, connect and disconnect in a hardware independent way.  The
WiMAX case is more complex than WiFi due to the way networks are
discovered and provisioned.

The next developments are to add the basic operations so they can be
offerent by different drivers. However, we'd like to get more vendors
to jump in and provide feedback of how the user/kernel API/abstraction
layer should be.

The user space code for the i2400m, as of now, uses the messaging
channel, but that will change as the API evolves.

15530dfd33 wimax: generic device management (registration, deregistration, lookup)
Implements the basic life cycles of a 'struct wimax_dev', some common
generic netlink functionality for marshalling calls to user space,
and the device state machine.

For looking up net devices based on their generic netlink family IDs,
use a low overhead method that optimizes for the case where most
systems have a single WiMAX device, or at most, a very low number of
WiMAX adaptors.

ea912f4e7f wimax: debug macros and debug settings for the WiMAX stack
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.
