We should suspend the MAC, before we kill the radio. This gives
the MAC a chance to leave any TX/RX state and it avoids races on
the PHY/RADIO registers.

Packet length calculation (which includes frame check sequence)
should take into account whether we add a pad field or not.
Extract the calculation into a helper and use it in both places.

This fixes some locking w.r.t. the lower MAC (firmware).
It also removes a lot of ancient IRQ-locking that's not needed anymore.
We simply suspend the MAC. That's easier and causes less trouble.

The RX code in ath9k uses sc_keymap to figure out whether a default
key was used. However, the default key entries in sc_keymap were
always set and as such, frames could have been claimed to be decrypted
by hardware when they were not. This can cause problems especially
with TKIP since mac80211 is validating the Michael MIC in the frame
and this will result in MIC failure and potentially TKIP
countermeasures if the frame was not decrypted correctly.
Change key cache slot allocation to mark only the keys that really
have been used in sc_keymap to avoid the issue. The key cache slot
selection routines are now internally avoiding the slots that may be
needed for TKIP group keys.

Previously we allocate Rx SKB with GFP_ATOMIC flag. This is because we need
to hold a spinlock to protect the two rx_used and rx_free lists operation
in the rxq.
spin_lock();
...
element = rxq->rx_used.next;
element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_ATOMIC);
list_del(element);
list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free);
...
spin_unlock();
After spliting the rx_used delete and rx_free insert into two operations,
we don't require the skb allocation in an atomic context any more (the
function itself is scheduled in a workqueue).
spin_lock();
...
element = rxq->rx_used.next;
list_del(element);
...
spin_unlock();
...
element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_KERNEL);
...
spin_lock()
...
list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free);
...
spin_unlock();
This patch should fix the "iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers" warning
we see recently.

Reported-by: Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@users.sourceforge.net>
After the code was modified to use urb anchors ("rtl8187: Use usb anchor
facilities to manage urbs"), rtl8187 began generating an intermittent GPF
on shutdown when using SLUB with debugging enabled. Furthermore, rebooting
the system with a ping running caused a GPF every time. There are two problems:
(1) incorrect locking in the rtl8187_rx_cb() routine, a pre-existing bug that
apparently had not been triggered before, and (2) duplicate freeing of receive
skbs that was probably introduced with the change to anchors.

Rate scaling in agn can be broken because of these two problems
1- the LQ command could not sent, we try to call LQ command before
post association will be rejected, this will cause the driver to
break in rs_tx_status reporting initial rate does not match.
2- In rs_rate_init we can get a value of 12, rate 60, for
last_txrate_idx, this rate only valid in SISO/MIMO mode only

open() routine calls stop() in case of errors, the function will try
to free the requested IRQ. But we don't know if it was actually
requested, so the code might issue bogus free_irq(0, dev) call.

call in the open() routine, and move free_irq() into the close().

The timeout handling code is currently broken in several ways:
- It calls stop() (which frees all the memory and IRQ), and then
calls startup() (which won't re-request IRQ, neither it will
re-init the Fast UCC structure).
- It calls these routines from the softirq context, which is wrong,
since stop() calls free_irq() (which might sleep) and startup()
allocates things with GFP_KERNEL.
- It won't soft-reset the PHY. We need the PHY reset for at least
MPC8360E-MDS boards with Marvell 88E1111 PHY, the PHY won't recover
from timeouts w/o the reset.
So the patch fixes these problems by implementing the workqueue for the
timeout handling, and there we fully re-open the device via close() and
open() calls. The close/open paths do the right things, and I can see
that the driver actually survive the timeouts.

Currently the routines wait for the various bits w/o an assumption that
bits may never get set. When timeouts happen I see that these bits never
get set and so the routines hang the kernel.
With this patch we'll wait the graceful stop for 100 ms, and then will
simply exit. There is nothing* we can do about that, but it's OK since
we'll do full reset later.
* Well, actually, there is also not-graceful variant for the TX stop,
but specs says that we never should use it.

Implementing discard counters for the NIU driver turned out to be more
complicated than first assumed.
The discard counters for the NIU neptune chip are only 16-bit (even
though this is a 64-bit chip). These 16-bit counters can overflow
quickly, especially considering this is a 10Gbit/s ethernet card.
The overflow indication bit is, unfortunatly, not usable as the
counter value does not wrap, but remains at max value 0xFFFF.
Resulting in lost counts until the counter is reset.
The read and reset scheme also poses a problem. Both in theory and in
practice counters can be lost in between reading nr64() and clearing
the counter nw64(). For this reason, the number of counter clearings
nw64() is limited/reduced. On the fast-path the counters are only
syncronized once it exceeds 0x7FFF. When read by userspace, its
syncronized fully.

A major source of overhead in the enc28j60 driver is the SPI transfers. Each
SPI transfer entails two kernel thread context switches. One major source of
SPI transfers is the enc28j60_set_bank() functions which runs before every
register access. This patch reduces the number of SPI transfers that
enc28j60_set_bank() performs in two ways:
1. removes unnecessary bank switch for the registers that are present in all
banks
2. when switching from banks 0 or 3 to banks 1 or 2 (i.e. only one bit
changes) enc28j60_set_bank() does only one SPI transfer instead of two
According to my tests these changes reduce the number of SPI transfers in
about 25%.

| netdevice zd1201: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev_priv()
|
| We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
| 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
| 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
| netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
| But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
| directly.
|
| OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
| and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
| reference of netdev->priv first.
|
| (Original patch posted by Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> w/ above
| changelog but using dev->ml_priv. That doesn't seem appropriate
| to me for this driver, so I've revamped it to use netdev_priv()
| instead. -- JWL)
This commit changed the allocation of netdev, but didn't change
the free method of it.
This causes "zd" be used after the memory, which is pointed by "zd", being
freed by free_netdev().
