bes2600: Patch C2 — replace ieee80211_rx_irqsafe with ieee80211_rx_ni
Per Phase 4 plan PR #14 + kerneldoc audit (Task #19). Six call sites deferred per-RX-frame mac80211 dispatch via tasklet; replace with the synchronous-from-process-context API ieee80211_rx_ni() which does its own local_bh_disable wrap. Why _ni and not _list: Phase 4 plan originally targeted ieee80211_rx_list for batch delivery. Mining mt76 mainline (the only driver using _list) showed the canonical pattern requires threading a struct list_head through the per-frame call chain. bes2600s WSM dispatcher (wsm_handle_rx -> bes2600_rx_cb / wsm.c beacon path) sits between the bh threads SDIO read and the mac80211 hand-off; threading a list_head through the dispatcher is a non-trivial refactor. ieee80211_rx_ni() is the simpler drop-in: no list management, still removes the tasklet hop. Per-call local_bh_disable cost is trivial vs the saved tasklet schedule. Future refactor can revisit _list if measurements warrant. Sites converted: - ap.c:96 (bes2600_sta_add link-id rx_queue drain on AP-mode STA add). Was inside spin_lock_bh(&ps_state_lock); refactored to splice the queue under the lock then deliver after unlock — _ni runs the synchronous mac80211 RX path inline, would otherwise hold the lock across mac80211 dispatch. splice via skb_queue_splice_init into a local sk_buff_head. - sta.c:1487 (deauth-frame inject in inactivity-event handler). Not under any lock; direct conversion. - txrx.c:1960 (early-data + pm_unsupported branch from Patch E). - txrx.c:1967 (early-data + LINK_SOFT-not-set branch). - txrx.c:1971 (normal RX path in bes2600_rx_cb). - wsm.c:2415 (beacon delivery in scan-complete WSM handler). beacon SKB ownership is preserved by the existing skb_copy(beacon, GFP_ATOMIC) -> beacon_bkp pattern; no lifecycle change needed. Mixing constraint (kerneldoc include/net/mac80211.h:5399-5430): ieee80211_rx_ni() cannot mix with ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() for a single hardware. All 6 sites convert atomically; no mixed state. Build verified clean on ohm sandbox: srcversion 619A51E61BF5479AAC146E6. Predicted Phase 7 delta: +5-15% over v3+D+E baseline (2.35 MB/s mean on v3 alone; D+E single-rep was 3.22 MB/s). Modest improvement expected from removing the tasklet schedule per RX frame. Smaller deltas would still be a net win for upstream-cleanliness — the kernel.org submission story benefits from not using _irqsafe from process context. |

bes2600: Patch G — restore SPDX identifiers + ST-Ericsson attribution
The bes2600 driver is a fork of the upstream cw1200 driver
(drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/, ST-Ericsson, Dmitry Tarnyagin
2010-2011). The fork's file headers have three GPL-compliance issues:
1. NO SPDX-License-Identifier on any of 48 source files (cw1200
mainline has them on all 25). kernel.org-mandated since 2017.
2. Original "Copyright (c) 2010, ST-Ericsson" lines stripped from
all files inherited from cw1200, replaced with
"Copyright (c) 2010, Bestechnic" — factually impossible
(Bestechnic did not author the 2010 work) and a GPL-2.0 §1
attribution-preservation violation.
3. The "GPL version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation"
boilerplate paragraph is redundant alongside SPDX and is the
legacy form modern kernel sources have replaced.
This patch corrects all three for the 48 .c/.h files in bes2600/:
- Adds `// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only` (or `/* ... */`
for headers) as line 1 of every file.
- Restores `Copyright (c) 2010, ST-Ericsson` + `Author: Dmitry
Tarnyagin <dmitry.tarnyagin@lockless.no>` as the FIRST copyright
chain entry on all 22 files derived from cw1200 (bh.{c,h},
debug.{c,h}, fwio.{c,h}, hwio.{c,h}, main.c, pm.{c,h},
queue.{c,h}, scan.{c,h}, sta.{c,h}, txrx.{c,h}, wsm.{c,h}).
- Keeps `Copyright (c) 2022, Bestechnic (Beijing) Co., Ltd.` as
the SECOND chain entry where Bestechnic genuinely contributed.
- Notes "Derived from cw1200_sdio.c" + ST-Ericsson copyright on
bes2600_sdio.c (heavy derivation, not a literal rename).
- Notes "Replaces hwbus.h from cw1200/" + ST-Ericsson copyright
on sbus.h.
- Preserves the prism54/islsm authorship chain on main.c and
bes2600.h (Michael Wu 2006 + Jean-Baptiste Note 2004-2006).
- Drops the GPL-2.0 boilerplate paragraph in favour of SPDX.
No code changes — only file-header comment blocks. Module build is
unaffected (verified by header-only diff scope).
This is a prerequisite for any kernel.org submission attempt. The
existing MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") + MODULE_AUTHOR(Tarnyagin@stericsson.com)
declarations were already present and are unchanged here; the
mismatch between MODULE_AUTHOR and the (since-corrected) per-file
copyrights is now resolved.

bes2600: defer scan and soften WARN on firmware reject
On a BES2600-based PineTab2, mac80211's background-scan cadence
(about every 30 s when associated) triggers a two-step WARN splat
pattern, visible in dmesg roughly 30 times per 10 min of regular
WiFi use:
wsm_generic_confirm ret 2
WARNING: at wsm_handle_rx+0x8a4/0xf30 [bes2600]
... full stack trace ...
ieee80211 phy0: wsm_generic_confirm failed for request 0x0007.
WARNING: at bes2600_scan_work+0x5d4/0x810 [bes2600]
... full stack trace ...
ieee80211 phy0: [SCAN] Scan failed (-22).
0x0007 is the WSM start-scan request; status 2 is the firmware's
rejected-by-policy response, which it returns for at least two
conditions:
a) BT A2DP streaming in non-FDD coex mode -- the coex arbiter
in firmware won't grant an off-channel window while a SCO/
A2DP link is queued.
b) A firmware-internal busy state whose exact trigger the
driver cannot observe directly (confirmed on ohm with BT
disconnected -- rejection still fires). Likely transient
firmware-PM transitions.
Both are protocol-level policy responses, not kernel bugs, so the
full stack-trace WARN treatment is counterproductive: it buries
real problems and gets new users convinced the driver is broken.
Three-part fix:
1. struct bes2600_scan grows two fields -- reject_count and
backoff_until -- zero-initialised via the existing
ieee80211_alloc_hw()-provided kzalloc.
2. bes2600_scan_work() now consults bes2600_scan_should_defer()
before calling bes2600_scan_start(). The helper short-
circuits in two cases:
- coex_is_bt_a2dp() is true and coex is not in FDD mode,
since we already know the firmware will reject;
- BES2600_SCAN_REJECT_THRESHOLD (3) consecutive rejections
have fired and the BES2600_SCAN_BACKOFF_JIFFIES (10 s)
backoff window has not yet elapsed.
On defer or on a real firmware rejection, reject_count is
bumped and backoff_until is refreshed. A successful scan
clears reject_count.
3. The WARN_ON(hw_priv->scan.status) at the scan_start() call
site is replaced with a plain branch into the existing
fail: label. wsm_generic_confirm()'s WARN() becomes a
bes_devel() -- the per-request wiphy_warn in wsm_handle_rx
(which includes the offending request id) is kept, so real
debugging information is still on tape.
Net behaviour:
- Expected rejections no longer produce stack traces. The only
log line that remains on a rejected background scan is the
upstream-caller's wiphy_warn identifying request 0x0007 or
equivalent.
- The driver stops hammering the firmware with doomed scan
requests -- 3 rejections trigger a 10 s pause, during which
bes2600_scan_work() returns without issuing WSM 0x0007.
- The scan-completion path is unchanged; mac80211 sees the
scan complete with no results and reissues on its normal
cadence.
- Real protocol-layer bugs (unexpected underflow in the
confirm buffer) still WARN_ON at the 'underflow:' label.
Verified on ohm (PineTab2, linux-pinetab2 6.19.10-danctnix1-1):
WARN splat count dropped from 32 to 0 per 10 min uptime. WiFi
stays associated. No regression in other counters (KFENCE,
sdio_tx_work, RX failure, PS Mode Error, factory cali fail all
remain 0).
