6e1b1b2460 mac80211: send null packet on active (psm) reconfiguration
The sta might be in psm against the ap (e.g. because
this was the before a hw restart), so we explicitly
send a null packet in order to make sure it'll
sync against the ap (and get out of psm).

HT may be disabled, making an /a/b/g/n station act like an

be HT20 even if the AP and local hardware support HT40.

MAX-AMSDU may be disabled.

94f9b97be5 mac80211: be more careful in suspend/resume
When suspending with all netdevs down, the device
is stopped but we still call a number of driver
callbacks that the driver might not expect. The
same happens during resume, we might call a few
callbacks without starting the driver. Fix this
by checking open_count around more things and
exiting quickly if it is 0.

Also, while at this I noticed that the coverage
class isn't reprogrammed after resume, so add
that.

95acac61ba mac80211: allow driver to disconnect after resume
In WoWLAN, devices may use crypto keys for TX/RX
and could also implement GTK rekeying. If the
driver isn't able to retrieve replay counters and
similar information from the device upon resume,
or if the device isn't responsive due to platform
issues, it isn't safe to keep the connection up
as GTK rekey messages from during the sleep time
could be replayed against it.

The only protection against that is disconnecting
from the AP. Modifying mac80211 to do that while
it is resuming would be very complex and invasive
in the case that the driver requires a reconfig,
so do it after it has resumed completely. In that
case, however, packets might be replayed since it
can then only happen after TX/RX are up again, so
mark keys for interfaces that need to disconnect
as "tainted" and drop all packets that are sent
or received with those keys.

67408c8c7b mac80211: selective throughput LED trigger active
The throughput LED trigger was always active when
the radio was enabled. In most cases that's likely
the desired behaviour, but iwlwifi requires it to
be only active when one of the virtual interfaces
is actually "connected" in some way.

e1e5406854 mac80211: add throughput based LED blink trigger
iwlwifi and other drivers like to blink their LED
based on throughput. Implement this generically in
mac80211, based on a throughput table the driver
specifies. That way, drivers can set the blink
frequencies depending on their desired behaviour
and max throughput.

All the drivers need to do is provide an LED class
device, best with blink hardware offload.

50a9432dae mac80211: fix powersaving clients races
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
the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

a619a4c0e1 mac80211: Add function to get probe request template for current AP
Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically
send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss,
for example.)

For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame
to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also
the supported rate IE's.

This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to
fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

53f73c09d6 mac80211: avoid transmitting delBA to old AP
When roaming while we have active BA session,
we can end up transmitting delBA frames to
the old AP while we're already on the new AP's
channel, which can cause warnings.

Simply avoid sending those frames, but still
tear down the internal session state, since
they are not really necessary anyway as we
will implicitly disassociate when sending the
association to the new AP.

025e6be220 mac80211: fix deadlock with multiple interfaces
The locking around ieee80211_recalc_smps is
buggy -- it cannot acquire another interface's
mutex while the iflist mutex is held because
another code path could be holding the iface
mutex and trying to acquire the iflist mutex.

But the locking is also unnecessary, we only
check "ifmgd->associated" as a bool, and don't
use the pointer (in check_mgd_smps).

651b52254f mac80211: Add DS Parameter Set into Probe Request on 2.4 GHz
IEEE Std 802.11k-2008 added DS Parameter Set information element into
Probe Request frames as an optional information on 2.4 GHz band (and
mandatory, if radio measurements are enabled). This allows APs to
filter out Probe Request frames that may be received from neighboring
overlapping channels and by doing so, reduce the number of unnecessary
frames in the air. Make mac80211 add this IE into Probe Request frames
whenever the channel is known (i.e., whenever hwscan is not used).

mac80211 will handle it, but internally it will
rewrite the interface type to STA/AP rather than
P2P-STA/GO since otherwise a lot of paths need
to be touched that are otherwise identical. A
p2p boolean tells drivers whether or not a given
interface will be used for p2p or not.
