Some experiment-based action to prevent my 8168 chipsets locking-up hard
in the irq handler under load (pktgen ~1Mpps). Apparently a reset is not
always mandatory (is it at all ?).
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_25
Missed ~55% packets. Note:
- this is an old SiS 965L motherboard
- the 8168 chipset emits (lots of) control frames towards the sender
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_26
The chipset does not go into a frenzy of mac control pause when it
crashes yet but it can still be crashed. It needs more work.

I found that one of the 8168c chipsets (concretely XID 1c4000c0) starts
generating RxFIFO overflow errors. The result is an infinite loop in
interrupt handler as the RxFIFOOver is handled only for ...MAC_VER_11.
With the workaround everything goes fine.

As reported by Flavio Leitner, there is no synchronization to protect
NIU's get_stats method from seeing a NULL pointer in either
np->rx_rings or np->tx_rings. In fact, as far as ->ndo_get_stats
is concerned, these values are set completely asynchronously.
Flavio attempted to fix this using a RW semaphore, which in fact
works most of the time. However, dev_get_stats() can be invoked
from non-sleepable contexts in some cases, so this fix doesn't
work in all cases.
So instead, control the visibility of the np->{rx,tx}_ring pointers
when the device is being brough up, and use properties of the device
down sequence to our advantage.
In niu_get_stats(), return immediately if netif_running() is false.
The device shutdown sequence first marks the device as not running (by
clearing the __LINK_STATE_START bit), then it performans a
synchronize_rcu() (in dev_deactive_many()), and then finally it
invokes the driver ->ndo_stop() method.
This guarentees that all invocations of niu_get_stats() either see
netif_running() as false, or they see the channel pointers before
->ndo_stop() clears them out.
If netif_running() is true, protect against startup races by loading
the np->{rx,tx}_rings pointer into a local variable, and punting if
it is NULL. Use ACCESS_ONCE to prevent the compiler from reloading
the pointer on us.
Also, during open, control the order in which the pointers and the
ring counts become visible globally using SMP write memory barriers.
We make sure the np->num_{rx,tx}_rings value is stable and visible
before np->{rx,tx}_rings is.
Such visibility control is not necessary on the niu_free_channels()
side because of the RCU sequencing that happens during device down as
described above. We are always guarenteed that all niu_get_stats
calls are finished, or will see netif_running() false, by the time
->ndo_stop is invoked.

TKIP countermeasures depend on devices being able to detect Michael
MIC failures on received frames and for stations to report errors to
the AP. In order to test that behavior, it is useful to be able to
send out TKIP frames with incorrect Michael MIC. This testing behavior
has minimal effect on the TX path, so it can be added to mac80211 for
convenient use.
The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211
netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file
makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using
invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one
of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast
frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current
BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only
when associated and using TKIP.

Currently cfg80211 only configures the PSM state to the driver upon creation
of a new virtual interface, but not after interface type change. The mac80211
on the other hand reinitializes its sdata structure every time the interface
type is changed, losing the PSM configuration.
Hence, if the interface type is changed to, say, ad-hoc and then back to
managed, "iw wlan0 get power_save" will claim that PSM is enabled, when in
fact on mac80211 level it is not.
Fix this in cfg80211 by configuring the PSM state to the driver each time
the interface is brought up instead of just when the interface is created.

The queue stopping/waking functionality was broken in a way that could
cause the TX to stall if the right circumstances are met.
The problem was caused by tx_work, which is scheduled on each TX operation.
If the firmware buffer is full, tx_work does nothing. In combinition with
stopped queues or non-continues transfers, tx_work is never scheduled again.
Moreover the low watermark introduced by
9df86e2e70 never takes effect because of some
old code.
Solve this by scheduling tx_work every time tx_queue is non-empty and
firmware buffer is freed on tx_complete.
This also solves a possible but unlikely case: If less frames than the high
watermark are queued, but more than firmware buffer can hold. This results
in queues staying awake but the only scheduled tx_work doesn't transfer all
frames, so the remaining frames are stuck in the queue until more frames
get queued and tx_work is scheduled again.

CHOKe ("CHOose and Kill" or "CHOose and Keep") is an alternative
packet scheduler based on the Random Exponential Drop (RED) algorithm.
The core idea is:
For every packet arrival:
Calculate Qave
if (Qave < minth)
Queue the new packet
else
Select randomly a packet from the queue
if (both packets from same flow)
then Drop both the packets
else if (Qave > maxth)
Drop packet
else
Admit packet with proability p (same as RED)
