Radio calibration (chain noise and sensitivity) should be allowed to
be disabled from debugfs if compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS. For both
6000g2a and 6000g2b, the parameters are missing in "cfg", which cause
user can not disable the radio calibration manually; add the support to
allow the operation.

When resuming from hibernate or suspend,
the status of the rfkill switch isn't
known since it might have been toggled
while the system was asleep. Therefore,
we need to read out the status at resume
time to make sure the system knows about
an up-to-date status.

The rate table in the bcast LQ is computed only when the station is
allocated, and chooses the lowest rate for the band. Because of when this
occurs, this is the 2.4 GHz band and uses the 0x420a (CCK, 1 Mbps) rate. In 5 GHz
beaconing mode, this rate will prevent beacons from being sent and any other
packets from being received.
We can fix this by re-initializing the bcast station's LQ command when the
channel is changed.

This bit need to be set for both RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self protection, if
CTS-to-self is used, then uCode will check the RXON_FLG_SELF_CTS_EN

When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
for 5000 series and up.
Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
initially attempted to address this:

iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000
Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.
For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self
protection.

commit 3474ad635db371b0d8d0ee40086f15d223d5b6a4
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly
broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that
the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_,
which the new code no longer did, and normally it
_never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually,
the code prior to my patch there would have been
broken already.
The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask
the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the
new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it
since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending
on the default filter in the device, which isn't
necessarily what we want (since we don't program it
right now).
Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have
allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.

The flow id (scd_flow) in a compressed BA packet should match the txq_id
of the queue from which the aggregated packets were sent. However, in
some hardware like the 1000 series, sometimes the flow id is 0 for the
txq_id (10 to 19). This can cause the annoying message:
[ 2213.306191] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Received BA when not expected
[ 2213.310178] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Read index for DMA queue txq id (0),
index 5, is out of range [0-256] 7 7.
And even worse, if agg->wait_for_ba is true when the bad BA is arriving,
this can cause system hang due to NULL pointer dereference because the
code is operating in a wrong tx queue!

Fairly complex code in iwlagn_tx_status_reply_tx handle the status reports for
aggregated packet batches sent by the NIC. This code aims to handle the case
where the NIC retransmits failed packets from a previous batch; the status
information for these packets can sometimes be inserted in the middle of a
batch and are actually not in order by sequence number! (I verified this can
happen with printk's in the function.)
The code in question adaptively identifies the "first" frame of the batch,
taking into account that it may not be the one corresponding to the first agg
status report, and also handles the case when the set of sent packets wraps the
256-character entry buffer. It generates the agg->bitmap field of sent packets
which is later compared to the BlockAck response from the receiver to see which
frames of those sent in this batch were ACKed. A small logic error (wrapping by
0xff==255 instead of 0x100==256) was causing the agg->bitmap to be set
incorrectly.
Fix this wrapping code, and add extensive comments to clarify what is going on.

Compressed BlockAck frames store the ACKs/NACKs in a 64-bit bitmap that starts
at the sequence number of the first frame sent in the aggregated batch. Note
that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission;
e.g., if frames 1,4-5 in a batch are ACKed then the next transmission will
include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed
BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the
semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame
is seq 2).
The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of
the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets,
maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the
bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This
flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly
underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as
well as driver and uCode.
Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through
all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed.
In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput
stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in
aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g.,

Currently, the driver allocates up to 19 skb pointers
for each TFD, of which we have 256 per queue. This
means that for each TX queue, we allocate 19k/38k
(an order 4 or 5 allocation on 32/64 bit respectively)
just for each queue's "txb" array, which contains only
the SKB pointers.
However, due to the way we use these pointers only the
first one can ever be assigned. When the driver was
initially written, the idea was that it could be
passed multiple SKBs for each TFD and attach all
those to implement gather DMA. However, due to
constraints in the userspace API and lack of TCP/IP
level checksumming in the device, this is in fact not
possible. And even if it were, the SKBs would be
chained, and we wouldn't need to keep pointers to
each anyway.
Change this to only keep track of one SKB per TFD,
and thereby reduce memory consumption to just one
pointer per TFD, which is an order 0 allocation per
transmit queue.
