4f366c5dab wireless: only use alpha2 regulatory information from country IE
The meaning and/or usage of the country IE is somewhat poorly defined.
In practice, this means that regulatory rulesets in a country IE are
often incomplete and might be untrustworthy.  This removes the code
associated with interpreting those rulesets while preserving respect
for country "alpha2" codes also contained in the country IE.

53e9b1de68 mac80211: set carrier on for monitor interfaces on ieee80211_open
If a station interface is reused as monitor interface it is possible that
the carrier is still set to off. This breaks packet injection on that
monitor interface.
Force the carrier on in monitor interface initialisation like it is also done

4ced3f74da mac80211: move QoS-enable to BSS info
Ever since

commit e1b3ec1a2a
Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon Mar 29 12:18:34 2010 +0200

    mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS

mac80211 is telling drivers, in particular
iwlwifi, whether QoS is enabled or not.

However, this is only relevant for station mode,
since only then will any device send nullfunc
frames and need to know whether they should be
QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are
(currently) no frames the device is supposed to
send.

When you now consider virtual interfaces, it
becomes apparent that the current mechanism is
inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a
global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has
to be on a per-interface scale.

Due to the above considerations, we can change
the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to
drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in
station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

875ae5f688 mac80211: fix aggregation action frame handling with AP VLANs
When aggregation related action frames are enqueued for further work,
and they originate from a STA that is part of an AP VLAN, they are
currently enqueued for the AP interface. This breaks the sta_info_get()
lookup in the actual work function, and because of that, aggregation
sessions are not established for this STA.

Fix this by replacing the sta_info_get call with a call to
sta_info_get_bss.

9171acc7e0 ath9k_hw: Fix AR9003 MPDU delimeter CRC check for middle subframes
An A-MPDU may contain several subframes each containing its own
CRC for the data. Each subframe also has a respective CRC for the
MPDU length and 4 reserved bits (aka delimeter CRC). AR9003 will
ACK frames that have a valid data CRC but have failed to pass the
CRC for the MPDU length, if and only if the subframe is not the
last subframe in an A-MPDU and if an OFDM phy OFDM reset error has
been caught. Discarding those subframes results in packet loss under
heavy stress conditions, an example being UDP video. Since the
frames are ACK'd by hardware we need to let these frames through
and process them as valid frames.

b3f194e54b ath5k: clean up rxlink handling
There were a few places where the sc->rxlink pointer was set to NULL "just in
case". This helps nothing - quite to the contrary it is problematic since it
can create self-linked rx descriptors in the middle of the list of receive
buffers.

Here is an example how this could happen (thanks Bob!):

cpu 0:                                      cpu 1:

ath5k_rx_stop
                                            ath5k_tasklet_rx
sc->rxlink = NULL;   /* just in case */
                                              // following doesn't link used
                                              // buffer to prev.
                                              ath5k_rxbuf_setup()

In the case of ath5k_rx_stop() and ath5k_stop_locked() buffers/descriptors are
not changed so rxlink should not be changed as well.

In ath5k_intr() we seem to  try to work around a hardware bug, as the comment
(which is copied 1:1 from the HAL) suggests. I don't see how this could help.
Also the HAL does not set rxlink in this case (So where does this code come
from? It has been there since the first import of ath5k). Changed to just
increment a statistics counter.

After this patch rxlink is only set to NULL before we initialize rx descriptors
and updated when the descriptors are linked together.

450464def7 ath5k: disable tasklets during reset
Based on a patch from Bruno Randolf, attempting useful
work while we are resetting the chip just leads to interface
lockups and bad descriptor data, and possibly DMAing to
freed buffers.  Let's suspend all tasklets while
reprogramming the registers in the card to avoid such
problems.

In the future we can convert the tasklets to threaded
interrupt handlers to simplify things.

5faaff7477 ath5k: move reset to mac80211 workqueue
We currently trigger a reset via a tasklet when certain error
conditions are detected so that the card will (eventually)
restart.  Unfortunately this makes locking complicated since
reset can also be called in process context (e.g. for channel
change).  Currently nothing protects against concurrent resets,
which can be the source of corruption bugs.

Reset takes too long to spinlock the whole thing, so this
patch moves deferred resets into the mac80211 workqueue to
enable use of sc->lock mutex.

ccb6c1360f cfg80211: don't get expired BSSes
When kernel-internal users use cfg80211_get_bss()

31e79a5954 ath9k: another fix for the A-MPDU buffer leak
The patch 'ath9k: fix a buffer leak in A-MPDU completion' addressed the
issue of running out of buffers/descriptors in the tx path if a STA is
deleted while tx status feedback is still pending.
The remaining issue is that the skbs of the buffers are not reclaimed,
leaving a memory leak.
This patch fixes this issue by running the buffers through
ath_tx_complete_buf(), ensuring that the pending frames counter is also
updated.

bbacee13f4 ath9k: merge noisefloor load implementations
AR5008+ and AR9003 currently use two separate implementations of the
ath9k_hw_loadnf function. There are three main differences:

 - PHY registers for AR9003 are different
 - AR9003 always uses 3 chains, earlier versions are more selective
 - The AR9003 variant contains a fix for NF load timeouts

This patch merges the two implementations into one, storing the
register array in the ath_hw struct. The fix for NF load timeouts is
not just relevant for AR9003, but also important for earlier hardware,
so it's better to just keep one common implementation.

ab0ed4aba8 rt2x00: Remove set_tim callback from PCI drivers
Using the set_tim callback without managing the DTIM count and the
broad- and multicast buffering in hw, fw or the driver results in wrong
DTIM count values being sent out in beacons. Since all PCI drivers
fetch new beacons periodically and hence get an updated TIM we can just
remove the set_tim callback from these.

The rt2x00 USB drivers don't update the beacon periodically and thus
rely on the set_tim callback to get a correct TIM for beacon
transmission. USB devices still suffer from the DTIM count being wrong
under some circumstances but removing the set_tim callback from these
would cause more harm then good.

9f926fb57a rt2x00: Use pretbtt irq for fetching beacons on rt2800pci
Updating the beacon on pre tbtt instead of beacondone allows much lower
latency in regard to TIM updates. Hence, use the pre tbtt interrupt for
updating the beacon in rt2800pci (older devices don't provide a pre tbtt
interrupt).

Also, add a new driver flag to indicate if a driver has pre tbtt support
or not and implement the according behavior in rt2x00lib.

07896fe2f4 rt2x00: Implement broad- and multicast buffering
Although mac80211 buffers broad- and mutlicast frames for us in AP mode
we still have to send them out after a DTIM beacon. Implement this
behavior by sending out the buffered frames when the beacondone
interrupt is processed.

4dee32f51b rt2x00: Allow beacon update without scheduling a work
Since all rt2x00 PCI drivers use threaded interrupts now we don't need
to schedule a work just to update the beacon. The only place where the
beacon still gets updated in atomic context is from the set_tim
callback. Hence, move the work scheduling there.

78e256c9a3 rt2x00: Convert rt2x00 to use threaded interrupts
Use threaded interrupts for all rt2x00 PCI devices.

This has several generic advantages:
- Reduce the time we spend in hard irq context
- Use non-atmic mac80211 functions for rx/tx

Furthermore implementing broad- and multicast buffering will be
much easier in process context while maintaining low latency and
updating the beacon just before transmission (pre tbtt interrupt)
can also be done in process context.

50e888eae2 rt2x00: Make rt2800_write_beacon only export to GPL
rt2800_write_beacon is the only function which uses
EXPORT_SYMBOL instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. All symbols
in rt2x00 should however use the GPL restricted export.

c965c74bbc rt2x00: Implement watchdog monitoring
Implement watchdog monitoring for USB devices (PCI support can
be added later). This will determine if URBs being uploaded to
the hardware are actually returning. Both rt2500usb and rt2800usb
have shown that URBs being uploaded can remain hanging without
being released by the hardware.
By using this watchdog, a queue can be reset when this occurs.
For rt2800usb it has been tested that the connection is preserved
even though this interruption.
