7b324d28a9 mac80211: Revert 'Use correct sign for mesh active path refresh'
The patch ("mac80211: Use correct sign for mesh active path
refresh.") was actually a bug.  Reverted it and improved the
explanation of how mesh path refresh works.

62ae67be31 mac80211: remove encrypt parameter from ieee80211_tx_skb
Since the flags moved into skb->cb, there's no
longer a need to have the encrypt bool passed
into the function, anyone who requires it set
to 0 (false) can just set the flag directly.

15ff63653e mac80211: use fixed broadcast address
The netdev broadcast address cannot change from
all-ones so there's no need to use it; we can
instead hard-code it. Since we already have an
instance in tkip.c, which will be shared if it
is marked static const, doing this reduces text
size at no data/bss cost.

The real motivation for this is, of course, the
desire to get rid of almost all uses of netdevs
in mac80211 so that auditing their use becomes
easier.

bfc32e6a95 mac80211: Decouple fail_avg stats used by mesh from rate control algorithm.
Mesh uses the tx failure average to compute the (m)path metric.  This used to
be done inside the rate control module.  This patch breaks the dependency
between the mesh stack and the rate control algorithm.  Mesh will now work
independently of the chosen rate control algorithm.

The mesh stack keeps a moving average of the average transmission losses for
each mesh peer station.  If the fail average exceeds a certain threshold, the
peer link is marked as broken.

Mesh is currently disabled on mac80211, its marked

to account for the mac80211 workqueue changes.
There was a simple typo in the patches for mesh
for the workqueue migration, but we never compile
tested it as we couldn't even select mesh as its
broken. Lets at least let it compile for those
interested in getting it fixed.

42935ecaf4 mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue
The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.

We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:

  * ieee80211_queue_work()
  * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()

These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.

Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

249b405cf8 mac80211: Fix regression in mesh forwarding path.
The removal of the master netdev broke the mesh forwarding path.  This patch
fixes it by using the new internal 'pending' queue.

As a result of this change, mesh forwarding no longer does the inefficient
802.11 -> 802.3 -> 802.11 conversion that was done before.

[Changes since v1]
Suggested by Johannes:
 - Select queue before adding to mpath queue
 - ieee80211_add_pending_skb -> ieee80211_add_pending_skbs
 - Remove unnecessary header wme.h

5bb644a0fd mac80211: cancel/restart all timers across suspend/resume
We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending.
In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can
cause hardware reconfiguration -- while it is down.

While at it we go ahead and add a warning in ieee80211_sta_work()
if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This
should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is
a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers.

With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend
and resume where as before there where issues with some timers
running during the suspend->resume cycle. This caused a lot of
incorrect assumptions and would at times bring back the device
in an incoherent, but mostly recoverable, state.

ae17e98609 mac80211: move txrate_idx into RC algorithms
The sta_info->txrate_idx member isn't used by all RC algorithms
in the way it was intended to be used, move it into those that
require it (only PID) and keep track in the core code of which
rate was last used for reporting to userspace and the mesh MLME.

17741cdc26 mac80211: share STA information with driver
This patch changes mac80211 to share some more data about
stations with drivers. Should help iwlwifi and ath9k when
 they get around to updating, and might also help with
implementing rate control algorithms without internals.

472dbc45dc mac80211: split off mesh handling entirely
This patch splits off mesh handling from the STA/IBSS.
Unfortunately it increases mesh code size a bit, but I
think it makes things clearer. The patch also reduces
per-interface run-time memory usage.

Also clean up a few places where ifdef is not required.

9c80d3dc27 mac80211: fix action frame length checks
The action frame length checks are one too small, there's not just
an action code as the comment makes you believe, there's a category
code too, and the category code is required in each action frame
(hence part of IEEE80211_MIN_ACTION_SIZE).

f698d856f6 replace net_device arguments with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate
This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions
with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate.

It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the
mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device.

If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since
mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway,
the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat.

This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be
converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be
provided.

e32f85f7b9 mac80211: fix use of skb->cb for mesh forwarding
Now we deal with mesh forwarding before the 802.11->802.3 conversion, thus
eliminating a few unnecessary steps. The next hop lookup is called from
ieee80211_master_start_xmit() instead of subif_start_xmit(). Until the next hop
is found, RA in the frame will be all zeroes for frames originating from the
device. For forwarded frames, RA will contain the TA of the received frame,
which will be necessary to send a path error if a next hop is not found.

d0709a6518 mac80211: RCU-ify STA info structure access
This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect
against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the
copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it
is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is
now somewhat understandable.

This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction
by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under
RTNL and frees the key.
