Adding "bt_coex_active" module parameter for iwlcore to enable/disable
BT coexist; if bt_coex_active is true (default), uCode will do kill/defer
every time the priority line is asserted (BT is sending signals on the
priority line in the PCIx). By disable the bt_coex_active, uCode will
ignore the BT activity and perform the normal operation.
Users might experience transmit issue on some platform due to this
WiFi/BT co-exist problem. The possible symptoms are: NetworkManager and
other similar programs can scan and find all the available APs, but will
timeout and unable to associate with any of the APs; no out-going frames
can be found with wireless sniffer tools.
On those platforms, WiFi communication can be restored by set "bt_coex_active"
module parameter to "false"

Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it
in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and
iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add
that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality
resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code
reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This
seems to be an efficient solution.
It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945
broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since
the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always
set.

is added synchronously or asynchronously. Centralize this work. At the same
time increase the status flags being checked for when the command returns

We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment
and the radio is out of tune. There are lot of plcp errors indicating
this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the
Access Point. By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are
reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise.
To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication,
- The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on
the statistics notification from the uCode.
- It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via
the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.

The intent of this function is to reset/re-tune the radio and bring the

This patch allows A band to be scanned when driver is associated to AP.
Scan mechanism is that mac80211/cfg80211 requests driver to scan G band
first and then immediately to scan A band. Original code require
driver to wait for 2 seconds after any scan before another scan will be
performed. This caused driver to service G band scan request from
mac80211/cfg80211 but deny the A band scan request.

Adding "radio reset" function to help reset and stabilize the radio.
During normal operation, sometime for unknown reason, radio encounter
problem and can not recover by itself; the best way to
recover from it is to reset and re-tune the radio. Currently, there is
no RF reset command available, but since radio will get reset when
switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio
reset and get back to normal operation state.
The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first
available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The
request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is
not in associated state.
Also include an "internal_scan" debugfs file to help trigger the
internal scan from user mode.

beacon missed, then perform sensitivity calibration; with this change,
allow user to adjust the missed beacon threshold from debugfs in case
more sensitivity calibration required for better performance in noisy
environment
The default value (=5) should be good enough for the normal condition,
but for very noisy environment, more sensitivity calibration could help
improve the throughput, so by setting the missed beacon threshold to
lower number, user might experience better performance result.

No matter whether connection track is enabled, an end host should send
an ICMPv4 "Fragment Reassembly Timeout" message when defrag timeout.
The reasons are following two points:
1. RFC 792 says:

2. Patrick McHardy also agrees with this opinion. :-)
About the discussion of this opinion, refer to http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/41649
The patch fixed the problem like this:
When enabling connection track, fragments are received at PRE_ROUTING HOOK.
If they are failed to reassemble, ip_expire() will be called.
Before sending an ICMP "Fragment Reassembly Timeout" message,
the patch searches router table to get the destination entry only for host type.
The patch has been tested on both host type and route type.

When testing the "e1000: enhance frame fragment detection" (and e1000e)
patches we found some bugs with reducing the MTU size. The 1024 byte
descriptor used with the 1000 mtu test also (re) introduced the
(originally) reported bug, and causes us to need the e1000_clean_tx_irq
"enhance frame fragment detection" fix.
So what has occured here is that 2.6.32 is only vulnerable for mtu <
1500 due to the jumbo specific routines in both e1000 and e1000e.
So, 2.6.32 needs the 2kB buffer len fix for those smaller MTUs, but
is not vulnerable to the original issue reported. It has been pointed
out that this vulnerability needs to be patched in older kernels that
don't have the e1000 jumbo routine. Without the jumbo routines, we
need the "enhance frame fragment detection" fix the e1000, old
e1000e is only vulnerable for < 1500 mtu, and needs a similar
fix. We split the patches up to provide easy backport paths.
There is only a slight bit of extra code when this fix and the
original "enhance frame fragment detection" fixes are applied, so
please apply both, even though it is a bit of overkill.

The loop that passes non-data frames to all relevant vifs inside the
__ieee80211_rx_handle_packet keeps a pointer to the previous sdata to
avoid having to make unnecessary copies of the frame it's handling.
This led to a bug that caused it to apply the ieee80211_rx_data state
to the wrong interface, thereby either missing the rx.sta pointer or
having it assigned where it shouldn't be.
This breaks (among other things) aggregation on some vifs, as action
frame exchages are dropped to the cooked monitor interface due to
rx->sta being NULL.
Fix this by restructuring the loop so that it prepares the rx data just
before making the skb copy and calling the rx handlers.
