Subject: [PATCH] p54: Fix regression due to commit b19fa1f

From: Christian Lamparter <[email protected]>

For p54pci and p54usb, skb_get_queue_mapping does not work correctly for
multiple queues.

That piece looks just wrong though. Bitfields, and in a hw struct?

likely... let's do the job properly for once and for all.

This patch fixes not only the regression which has sneaked in
with commit b19fa1f, but also provides some extra code for
cts rates.

You can use this magic macro:

#define P4D_BYT3S(magic, nr_bytes) u8 __p4dding##magic[nr_bytes]
#define P4D_BYTES(line, nr_bytes) P4D_BYT3S(line, nr_bytes)
/* Magic helper macro to pad structures. Ignore those above. It's magic. */
#define PAD_BYTES(nr_bytes) P4D_BYTES( __LINE__ , (nr_bytes))


struct xyz {
//foo
PAD_BYTES(4); /* Pad 4 bytes */
//bar
};

well, this is a crude way to silence gcc... without the ":32"
it complains "warning: declaration does not declare anything".

Of course we/I can make lot's of u8 paddingZ[X] arrays,
but we'll run out of Z and X in the long run ;-).

The old logic always tx'ed cts frames (if enabled) with a
short preamble when [rate > 3]. (read: with any 802.11g rate).
Of course this isn't that bad, but it's still wrong!

I thought mixed-endian arithmetic was the latest rage ;). I'll sent V2 right away.

Have a good vacation.

These changes fix the problem on my system. If it is made into a proper patch,
I'll ACK it.

Sorry for not catching this earlier, but this looks wrong, the -4 surely
should be outside the endian conversion?

Is the extra code for cts rates a bug fix or a feature enhancement? If the
latter, then this patch should be in two parts. The main reason is that fixes
should go to stable as well as wireless-testing.

Oh, eh, sorry about that, of course it cannot return the right thing on
a _received_ frame. Thanks for finding.

No problemo! but can you please tell me what you would like to see?
I don't spot anything, except some extra tab damage at the EOL.
That said, I didn't make much patches lately, so I probably need an bigger
update about the latest "how-to-send-a-proper-patch" etiquette than I thought.
