There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether.
As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining
networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly
run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.
NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the
www.linuxwimax.org
site had already shut down earlier.
WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.
Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header
files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets
to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order
to make it possible to port patches across the move.
Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing
list and website.

skb_copy_expand without __GFP_NOWARN already does a dump_stack
on OOM so these messages are redundant.

With the recent changes for how we compute the skb truesize it occurs to me
we are probably going to have a lot of calls to skb_end_pointer -
skb->head. Instead of running all over the place doing that it would make
more sense to just make it a separate inline skb_end_offset(skb) that way
we can return the correct value without having gcc having to do all the
optimization to cancel out skb->head - skb->head.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When the device stalls, clear it and retry; if it keeps failing too
often, reset the device.
This specially happens when running on virtual machines; the real
hardware doesn't seem to trip on stalls too much, except for a few
reports in the mailing list (still to be confirmed this is the cause,
although it seems likely.
NOTE: it is not clear if the URB has to be resubmitted fully or start
only at the offset of the first transaction sent. Can't find
documentation to clarify one end or the other.
Tests that just resubmit the whole URB seemed to work in my
environment.

The USB code was incorrectly specifiying timeouts to be in jiffies vs
msecs. On top of that, lower it to 200ms, as 1s is really too long
(doesn't allow the watchdog to trip a reset if the device timesout too
often).

Current i2400m USB code had to threads (one for processing RX, one for
TX). When calling i2400m_{tx,rx}_release(), it would crash if the
thread had exited already due to an error.
So changed the code to have the thread fill in/out
i2400mu->{tx,rx}_kthread under a spinlock; then the _release()
function will call kthread_stop() only if {rx,tx}_kthread is still
set.

Newer generations of the i2400m USB WiMAX device use a different
endpoint map; in order to make it easy to support it, we make the
endpoint-to-function mapeable instead of static.

Roel Kluin reported a bug in two error paths where skbs were wrongly
being freed using kfree(). He provided a fix where it was replaced to
kfree_skb(), as it should be.
However, in i2400mu_rx(), the error path was missing returning an
indication of the failure. Changed to reset rx_skb to NULL and return
it to the caller, i2400mu_rxd(). It will be treated as a transient
error and just ignore the packet.
Depending on the buffering conditions inside the device, the data
packet might be dropped or the device will signal the host again for
data-ready-to-read and the host will retry.

Implements the backend so that the generic driver can TX/RX to/from
the USB device.
TX is implemented with a kthread sitting in a never-ending loop that
when kicked by the generic driver's TX code will pull data from the TX
FIFO and send it to the device until it drains it. Then it goes back
sleep, waiting for another kick.
RX is implemented in a similar fashion, but reads are kicked in by the
device notifying in the interrupt endpoint that data is ready. Device
reset notifications are also sent via the notification endpoint.
We need a thread contexts to run USB autopm functions (blocking) and
to process the received data (can get to be heavy in processing
time).
