commit 672917dcc7 ("cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit")
added an optimization, where the analysis on the past idle period moved
from the end of idle, to the beginning of the new idle.
Unfortunately, this optimization had a bug where it zeroed one key
variable for new use, that is needed for the analysis. The fix is
simple, zero the variable after doing the work from the previous idle.
During the audit of the code that found this issue, another issue was
also found; the ->measured_us data structure member is never set, a
local variable is always used instead.

A while back there was a discussion regarding the rt_secret_interval timer.
Given that we've had the ability to do emergency route cache rebuilds for awhile
now, based on a statistical analysis of the various hash chain lengths in the
cache, the use of the flush timer is somewhat redundant. This patch removes the
rt_secret_interval sysctl, allowing us to rely solely on the statistical
analysis mechanism to determine the need for route cache flushes.

This patch changes the way JOIN's are performed, and channel numbers updated.
The reason for this is that the firmware JOIN command clears WPA(2) key
material, and if done while associated to a WPA(2) secured AP, will render
the data-path unusable.
While the channel is not usually changed while associated (and currently we
could not even support something like that), after performing a scan operation
while associated, mac80211 will re-set the current channel to the driver. This
caused our problem.
Also, the mac80211 is assuming that the driver channel configuration remains
persistent over periods of IDLE. Therefore remove channel resetting to zero
from the unjoin function.

The current way of managing beaconing in ad-hoc
mode has a subtle race - the beacon obtained from mac80211
is freed in the SWBA handler rather than the TX
completion routine. But transmission of beacons goes
through the normal SKB queue maintained in hif_usb,
leading to a situation where __skb_dequeue() in the TX
completion handler goes kaput.
Fix this by simply getting a beacon from mac80211 for
every SWBA and free it in its completion routine.

Currently, when one interface switches HT mode,
all others will follow along. This is clearly
undesirable, since the new one might switch to
no-HT while another one is operating in HT.
Address this issue by keeping track of the HT
mode per interface, and allowing only changes
that are compatible, i.e. switching into HT40+
is not possible when another interface is in
HT40-, in that case the second one needs to
fall back to HT20.
Also, to allow drivers to know what's going on,
store the per-interface HT mode (channel type)
in the virtual interface's bss_conf.

Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.
In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.
The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).
Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.
mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.
One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.
Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):
* different HT/no-HT modes
currently you could start an HT AP and then
connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
which would configure the hardware for no HT;
that can be fixed fairly easily
* CSA
An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
might indicate switching channels, and in that
case we would follow it, regardless of how many
other interfaces are operating; this requires
more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

This patch removes the incomplete AMPDU implementation in ar9170usb.
The code in question is:
* too big and complex (more than 550 SLOC.)
This is enough to qualify for a new separate code file!
* unbalanced quantity & quality
over-engineered areas like:
* xmit scheduling and queuing frames for multiple HT peers
* redundant frame sorting
are confronted by gaping holes:
* accurate transmission feedback
* firmware error-handling and device reset
* HT rate control algorithm
* error-prone
Since its inclusion, hardly anything was done to fix
any of the outlined flaws from the initial commit message.
=> This also indicates poor maintainability.
* relies heavily on several spinlocks.
As a result of this shortcomings, the code is slow and does not
even support the most basic 11n requirement: HT station mode.
Therefore, I request to purge my heap of **** from the kernel:
"ar9170: implement transmit aggregation".

As explained by Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>:
We authenticate successfully, and then userspace requests association.
Then we start that process, but the AP doesn't respond. While we're
still waiting for an AP response, userspace asks for a deauth. We do
the deauth, but don't abort the association work. Then once the
association work times out we tell cfg80211, but it no longer wants
to know since for all it is concerned we accepted the deauth that
also kills the association attempt.
Fix this by, upon receipt of deauth request, removing the association work
and continuing to send the deauth.
Unfortunately the user reporting the issue is not able to reproduce this
problem anymore and cannot verify this fix. This seems like a well understood
issue though and I thus present the patch.

Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates
from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that
it could spin down and say spun down. Device failure/removal
etc are still recorded on spares.
However commit 51d5668cb2 broke this 50% of the time,
depending on whether the event count is even or odd.
The change log entry said:
This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain,
how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it
could take arbitrarily long.
So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even,
force a second metadata-update immediately. There are already cases
where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a
device fails during the metadata update). We just piggy-back on that.
