Johannes Berg 266af4c745 iwlagn: support off-channel TX
Add support to iwlagn for off-channel TX. The
microcode API for this is a bit strange in that
it uses a hacked-up scan command, so the scan
code needs to change quite a bit to accomodate
that and be able to send it out.

Wey-Yi Guy be663ab670 iwlwifi: split the drivers for agn and legacy devices 3945/4965
Intel WiFi devices 3945 and 4965 now have their own driver in the folder

	drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy

Add support to build these drivers independently of the driver for
AGN devices. Selecting the 3945 builds iwl3945.ko and iwl_legacy.ko,
and selecting the 4965 builds iwl4965.ko and iwl_legacy.ko. iwl-legacy.ko
contains code shared between both devices.

The 3945 is an ABG/BG device, with no support for 802.11n. The 4965 is a 2x3
ABGN device.

to check if scanning is currently pending, because STATUS_SCANNING will
be cleared only with priv->mutex taken.

Fix possible double priv->mutex lock introduced by commit
a69b03e941
"iwlwifi: cancel scan watchdog in iwl_bg_abort_scan" .
We can not call cancel_delayed_work_sync(&priv->scan_check) with
priv->mutex locked because workqueue function iwl_bg_scan_check()
take that lock internally.

We do not need to synchronize when canceling priv->scan_check work.
We can avoid races (sending double abort command or send no
command at all) using STATUS_SCAN_ABORT bit. Moreover
current iwl_bg_scan_check() code seems to be broken, as
we should not send abort commands when currently aborting.

Johannes Berg f84b29ec0a iwlwifi: queue user-initiated scan when doing internal scan
The internal scanning created a problem where
when userspace tries to scan, the scan gets
rejected. Instead of doing that, queue up the
user-initiated scan when doing an internal
scan.

Johannes Berg 3a0b9aad0a iwlwifi: use virtual interface address for scan
For probe request frames sent during scan, we
should use the virtual interface's mac address
that the scan was initiated on to avoid issues
when the wrong address is used.

Reinette Chatre 073d5eab6f iwlwifi: fix internal scan race
It is possible for internal scan to race against itself if the device is
not returning the scan results from first requests. What happens in this
case is the cleanup done during the abort of the first internal scan also
cleans up part of the new scan, causing it to access memory it shouldn't.

Here are details:
* First internal scan is triggered and scan command sent to device.
* After seven seconds there is no scan results so the watchdog timer
  triggers a scan abort.
* The scan abort succeeds and a SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION is received for
 failed scan.
* During processing of SCAN_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION we clear STATUS_SCANNING
  and queue the "scan_completed" work.
** At this time, since the problem that caused the internal scan in first
   place is still present, a new internal scan is triggered.
The behavior at this point is a bit different between 2.6.34 and 2.6.35
since 2.6.35 has a lot of this synchronized. The rest of the race
description will thus be generalized.
** As part of preparing for the scan "is_internal_short_scan" is set to
true.
* At this point the completion work for fist scan is run. As part of this
  there is some locking missing around the "is_internal_short_scan"
  variable and it is set to "false".
** Now the second scan runs and it considers itself a real (not internal0
   scan and thus causes problems with wrong memory being accessed.

The fix is twofold.
* Since "is_internal_short_scan" should be protected by mutex, fix this in
  scan completion work so that changes to it can be serialized.
* Do not queue a new internal scan if one is in progress.

Johannes Berg 1dda6d2837 iwlwifi: push virtual interface through
Rather than keeping every bit of information
around in priv and the virtual interface, add
a virtual interface to many functions and use
the information directly from it.

This removes beacon_int, assoc_capability and
assoc_id from struct iwl_priv.

Johannes Berg a060bbfe4e mac80211: give virtual interface to hw_scan
When scanning, it is somewhat important to scan
on the correct virtual interface. All drivers
that currently implement hw_scan only support a
single virtual interface, but that may change
and then we'd want to be ready.
