wimax/i2400m: implement RX reorder support
Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information. When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held packets have to be released to the OS. This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission support when missing frames are detected. The code docs provide details about the implementation. In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on the window start for the specific queue. The modifications to files other than rx.c are: - control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled - driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder support. - i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for implementing reorder support. - linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions related to RX reorder Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost impossible. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
