mac80211: tear down all agg queues when restart/reconfig hw
When there is a need to restart/reconfig hw, tear down all the
aggregation queues and let the mac80211 and driver get in-sync to have
the opportunity to re-establish the aggregation queues again.
Need to wait until driver re-establish all the station information before tear
down the aggregation queues, driver(at least iwlwifi driver) will reject the
stop aggregation queue request if station is not ready. But also need to make
sure the aggregation queues are tear down before waking up the queues, so
mac80211 will not sending frames with aggregation bit set.

mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep
Many drivers would like to sleep during station
addition and removal, and currently have a high
complexity there from not being able to.
This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
fail.
The reason we didn't do this previously is that
the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
This patch will keep the station allocation in
that path, but moves adding the station to the
driver out of line. Since the addition can now
fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
station but never tell the driver about it in
the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
a driver that has a low limit on the number of
stations and that cannot talk to any stations
that are not known to it, we need to do come up
with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

mac80211: fix deferred hardware scan requests
Reinette found the reason for the warnings that
happened occasionally when a hw-offloaded scan
finished; her description of the problem:
mac80211 will defer the handling of scan requests if it is
busy with management work at the time. The scan requests
are deferred and run after the work has completed. When
this occurs there are currently two problems.
* The scan request for hardware scan is not fully populated
with the band and channels to scan not initialized.
* When the scan is queued the state is not correctly updated
to reflect that a scan is in progress. The problem here is
that when the driver completes the scan and calls
ieee80211_scan_completed() a warning will be triggered
since mac80211 was not aware that a scan was in progress.
The reason is that the queued scan work will start
the hw scan right away when the hw_scan_req struct
has already been allocated. However, in the first
pass it will not have been filled, which happens
at the same time as setting the bits. To fix this,
simply move the allocation after the pending work
test as well, so that the first iteration of the
scan work will call __ieee80211_start_scan() even
in the hardware scan case.

b43: Fix throughput regression
Commit
c7ab5ef9bcd281135c21b4732c9be779585181be entitled "b43: implement
short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for
my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling
portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling.
Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never
called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the
value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain
the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value
of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value
in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased
performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic
improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s.
Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the
MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating
in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs.

triggered a bug in iwlwifi where HT parameters would not be correctly set in

not being set, which limited the size of aggregation blocks and reduced
throughput at high rates.
>From Johannes:
"""
Due to Wey-Yi's patch to use the set-channel command when the channel changes
while associated, we don't get a full new RXON. Therefore, we don't re-set the
rxon-station either. However, under some circumstances that apparently have
gotten more likely mac80211 will first set up the BSS info, then add the
station and then switch to an HT channel type.
Therefore, the check for "priv->current_ht_config.is_ht" in
iwl_rxon_add_station() will hit false and not fill in the HT information.
However, that check can just be removed, which is the easiest fix for all this,
because the HT capa struct is always there, just could possibly have the
ht_supported member set to false.

switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio
reset and get back to normal operation state.
The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first
available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The
request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is
not in associated state.
Also include an "internal_scan" debugfs file to help trigger the
internal scan from user mode.

iwlwifi: configure missed beacon threshold
Add support to configure missed beacon threshold, by default, if receive
"missed beacon" notification from uCode and has more than 5 consecutive
beacon missed, then perform sensitivity calibration; with this change,
allow user to adjust the missed beacon threshold from debugfs in case
more sensitivity calibration required for better performance in noisy
environment
The default value (=5) should be good enough for the normal condition,
but for very noisy environment, more sensitivity calibration could help
improve the throughput, so by setting the missed beacon threshold to
lower number, user might experience better performance result.

ath9k: Enable Fractional N mode
changed the hw attach code to fix up initialization values only for
dual band devices, however the commit message did not give a reason as
to why this would be useful or necessary.
According to tests by Jorge Boncompte, this breaks at least some
2GHz-only cards, so the code should be changed back to the
unconditional INI fixup.

mac80211: fix tx select key null pointer crash with hostapd
Pavel Roskin reported a crash in ieee80211_tx_h_select_key():
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=
126419655108528&w=2
This is a regression from patch "mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment".
Fix it as suggested by Johannes, adding an else statement to make sure
that tx->key is not accessed when it's null.
Compile-tested only.

mac80211: fix rx data handling for non-data frames on multiple vifs
The loop that passes non-data frames to all relevant vifs inside the
__ieee80211_rx_handle_packet keeps a pointer to the previous sdata to
avoid having to make unnecessary copies of the frame it's handling.
This led to a bug that caused it to apply the ieee80211_rx_data state
to the wrong interface, thereby either missing the rx.sta pointer or
having it assigned where it shouldn't be.
This breaks (among other things) aggregation on some vifs, as action
frame exchages are dropped to the cooked monitor interface due to
rx->sta being NULL.
Fix this by restructuring the loop so that it prepares the rx data just
before making the skb copy and calling the rx handlers.
