34e895075e 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.

33e5a2f776 wireless: update radiotap parser
Upstream radiotap has adopted the namespace
proposal David Young made and I then took care

the in-kernel parser up to speed.

690680360c mac80211_hwsim: add fake hw scan handler
For debugging hardware scan trigger/complete
functionality, it was useful to have code in
hwsim that pretends to do a hardware scan.

This code could be extended to actually do the
scan, but for now it was sufficient for me to
only pretend. Since hwsim was written to ease
debugging, it only makes sense to add it to it
permanently.

c0ce77b832 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.

b6c3f5be7c b43: Fix throughput regression
Commit c7ab5ef9bc 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.

b4d57adb72 mac80211: fix sta lookup with AP VLAN interfaces and injected frames
When injecting frames, mac80211 currently looks for the first AP
interface that matches the source address of the injected frame.
This breaks when such a frame is directed at a STA that has been moved
to a VLAN. This patch fixes it by using sta_info_get_bss instead of
sta_info_get, which also finds stations belonging to a VLAN interface
of the same BSS as the AP interface.

17ad353b8d mac80211: fix monitor mode tx radiotap header handling
When an injected frame gets buffered for a powersave STA or filtered
and retransmitted, mac80211 attempts to parse the radiotap header
again, which doesn't work because it's gone at that point.
This patch adds a new flag for checking the availability of a radiotap
header, so that it only attempts to parse it once, reusing the tx info
on the next call to ieee80211_tx().
This fixes severe issues with rekeying in AP mode.

4754ffd68b mac80211: fix sta lookup for received action frames on an AP VLAN
When looking for a matching interface, __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet
loops over all active interfaces, looking for matching stations.
Because AP VLAN interfaces are not processed as part of this loop, it
needs to use sta_info_get_bss instead of sta_info_get in order to find
a STA that has been moved to a VLAN.
This fixes issues with aggregation setup/teardown.

when we suspend, for instance. When we disconnect we can
no longer assume the same regulatory rules learned from

regulatory settings to an initial state.

Since driver hints are cached on the wiphy that called
the hint, those hints are not reproduced onto cfg80211
as the wiphy will respect its own wiphy->regd regardless.
