Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected
Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to
management frame protection being in use. This notification is
needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement
SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch
between an AP and STA.
This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP
(IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the
station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not
have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7).
IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism.

The 802.11 spec states that the STA that generated the last Beacon frame shall
be the STA that response to a probe request. This is important for congestion
reduction when a probe request is received - only 1 node in an adhoc BSS
will transmit a response. While mac80211 drivers should provide the
tx_last_beacon function to report if they transmitted the last beacon many
do not. As an attempt to reduce probe response congestion default this
to 0 such that a node not implementing this capability does not contribute
to unnecessary congestion.
In a modern medium sized office environment I see upwards of 100 probe
requests per second received at a given node from various hardware/OS/drivers
doing zeroconf 'active probing' as opposed to passively listening for beacons.
With a modest 10-node adhoc network consisting of drivers that do not implement
this tx_last_beacon feature, I have seen this result in the simultaneous xmit
of probe responses accumulating to 500 probe responses per second because of
collisions which brings the adhoc network to its knees as well as causes
needless congestion.

On suspend, there might be usb wireless drivers which wrongly trigger
the warning in ieee80211_work_work. If an usb driver doesn't have a
suspend hook, the usb stack will disconnect the device. On disconnect,
a mac80211 driver calls ieee80211_unregister_hw, which calls dev_close,
which calls ieee80211_stop, and in the end calls ieee80211_work_purge->
ieee80211_work_work.
The problem is that this call to ieee80211_work_purge comes after
mac80211 is suspended, triggering the warning even when we don't have
work queued in work_list (the expected case when already suspended),
because it always calls ieee80211_work_work.
So, just call ieee80211_work_work in ieee80211_work_purge if we really

Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up,
add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we
must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle
joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured
when the device goes up.
Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as
well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to
start the mesh on interface up.
We now allow querying mesh parameters before the
mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults.
Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is
only allowed while connected. Specify them with
the new mesh join command instead where needed.
In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the
mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done
by testing the mesh ID.

The reason is that the device generates frames with slightly
bogus SA/TA addresses.
e.g.:
[ 2314.402316] Ignore 9f:1f:31:f8:64:ff
[ 2314.402321] Ignore 9f:1f:31:f8:64:ff
[ 2352.453804] Ignore 0d:1f:31:f8:64:ff
[ 2352.453808] Ignore 0d:1f:31:f8:64:ff
^^ the group-address flag is set!
(the correct SA/TA would be: 00:1f:31:f8:64:ff)
Since the AP does not know from where the frames come, it
generates a DEAUTH response for the (invalid) mcast address.
This mcast deauth frame then passes through all filters and
tricks the stack into thinking that the AP brutally kicked
us!
This patch fixes the problem by simply ignoring
non-broadcast, group-addressed deauth/disassoc frames.

In order for frame injection to work properly for some use cases

injection is quite unusual operation, it has some uses and we should fix

nullfunc frames are better for connection monitoring, because probe requests
are answered even if the AP has already dropped the connection, whereas
nullfunc frames from an unassociated station will trigger a disassoc/deauth
frame from the AP (WLAN_REASON_CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA), which allows
the station to reconnect immediately instead of waiting until it attempts to
transmit the next unicast frame.
This only works on hardware with reliable tx ACK reporting, any other hardware
needs to fall back to the probe request method.

When using AP VLAN interfaces, each VLAN interface should be in its own
broadcast domain. Hostapd achieves this by assigning different GTKs to
different AP VLAN interfaces.
However, mac80211 drivers are not aware of AP VLAN interfaces and as
such mac80211 sends the GTK to the driver in the context of the base AP
mode interface. This causes problems when multiple AP VLAN interfaces
are used since the driver will use the same key slot for the different
GTKs (there's no way for the driver to distinguish the different GTKs
from different AP VLAN interfaces). Thus, only the clients associated
to one AP VLAN interface (the one that was created last) can actually
use broadcast traffic.
Fix this by not programming any GTKs for AP VLAN interfaces into the hw
but fall back to using software crypto. The GTK for the underlying AP
interface is still sent to the driver.
That means, broadcast traffic to stations associated to an AP VLAN
interface is encrypted in software whereas broadcast traffic to
stations associated to the non-VLAN AP interface is encrypted in
hardware.

The code to handle powersaving stations has a race:
when the powersave flag is lifted from a station,
we could transmit a packet that is being processed
for TX at the same time right away, even if there
are other frames queued for it. This would cause
frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only
under the appropriate lock that blocks TX.
Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a
station while frames for it are on the HW queue is
never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get
stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag
for this appropriately.
Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if
