930dfd5f20 iwlwifi: iwl_rx_cmd_buffer belongs to transport API
This is how the transport passes things
up into higher layers, so it belongs to
the transport API.

48a2d66f58 iwlwifi: don't pass iwl_rx_mem_buffer to upper layers
struct iwl_rx_mem_buffer implementation details
(DMA address, list pointers) that the upper
layers don't need. Introduce iwl_rx_cmd_buffer
that is passed upstream and only contains the
needed data (the page). Additionally, access
this data only via accessor functions, allowing
us to change the implementation in the future.
These accessors are rxb_addr() (as before) and
rxb_steal_page() to take ownership of the data.

65b94a4abf iwlwifi: pass response packet directly
When CMD_WANT_SKB is set for a (synchronous)
command, the response is passed back to the
caller which is then responsible for freeing
it. Make this more abstract with real API,
passing directly the response packet in the
new cmd.resp_pkt member and also introduce
iwl_free_resp() to free the pages -- this
way the upper layers don't have to directly
touch the page implementation.

NOTE: This breaks IDI -- the new code isn't reflected there yet!

2c6ab7ff8f iwlwifi: use ieee80211_tx_status
We currently use the _irqsafe version, but that
isn't recommended together with ieee80211_rx()
as it can cause races. If the device reports
a TX-status and RX in that order then with the
current combination mac80211 might process them
in the other order, which can cause issues with
powersaving clients.

Use ieee80211_tx_status() to avoid this race.
Since we don't want to call it with locks held,
process the frame queues later -- this is fine
as they are on the stack.

2dd4f9f731 iwlwifi: clean up (wowlan) suspend flow
In the WoWLAN suspend flow, instead of accessing
registers directly, ask the transport to do the
required setup at the end of suspend. If the
transport doesn't implement this, don't tell the
stack we support WoWLAN.

When the device suspends w/o WoWLAN, mac80211
will have stopped it already, which has already
called iwl_apm_stop() via stop_hw(). Thus, it
isn't necessary to call it again in pcie_suspend
and we can simply do nothing there.

This unifies the regular and WoWLAN suspend.

fb5fe5b9da iwlwifi: simplify auth/assoc flow
With mac80211 now giving us station information
(via the sta_state callback) before auth/assoc
we can get rid of tx_sync by adding the station
early for the case of managed interfaces. Keep
AP mode actions the same for now.

As we now get the BSSID early, we can also get
rid of iwl_reprogram_ap_sta().

We can still optimise the number of RXONs we
send to the device, but that can be done later.

342bbf3fee iwlwifi: always monitor for stuck queues
If we only monitor while associated, the following
can happen:
 - we're associated, and the queue stuck check
   runs, setting the queue "touch" time to X
 - we disassociate, stopping the monitoring,
   which leaves the time set to X
 - almost 2s later, we associate, and enqueue
   a frame
 - before the frame is transmitted, we monitor
   for stuck queues, and find the time set to
   X, although it is now later than X + 2000ms,
   so we decide that the queue is stuck and
   erroneously restart the device

It happens more with P2P because there we can
go between associated/unassociated frequently.

a9b89e2567 rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix loss of receive performance
Driver rtl8192ce when used with the RTL8188CE device would start at about
20 Mbps on a 54 Mbps connection, but quickly drop to 1 Mbps. One of the
symptoms is that the AP would need to retransmit each packet 4 of 5 times
before the driver would acknowledge it. Recovery is possible only by
unloading and reloading the driver. This problem was reported at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207.

The problem is due to a missing update of the gain setting.

1d9c1796bc brcm80211: fmac: use counters in brcmf_bus structure
The usb code defines a structure for counting statistics. However,
it should use the statistics entry provided in brcmf_bus as that is
exposed to the net_device. The usb private statistics counter only
remains with counters for control packets between driver and usb
device.

3bc7e29c98 brcm80211: fmac: remove unnecessary NULL pointer check
In brcmf_usb_up() the variable devinfo was checked for being
a NULL pointer, but this can not happen. Also the check was done
after dereferencing the pointer. This patch removes the check.

ebecdcc12f rtlwifi: rtl8192c: Prevent sleeping from invalid context in rtl8192cu
When driver rtl8192cu is used with the debug level set to 3 or greater,
the result is "sleeping function called from invalid context" due to
an rcu_read_lock() call in the DM refresh routine in driver rtl8192c.
This lock is not necessary as the USB driver does not use the struct
being protected, thus the lock is set only when a PCI interface is
active.

This bug is reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.

8f526ab4aa rtlwifi: Remove extraneous value return
In usb.c, routine _rtl_usb_init_sw() always returns 0, and rtl_usb_probe()
never checks the returned value. Thus we can change _rtl_usb_init_sw() to
a void routine. In addition, remove the underscore at the beginning of the
name of the routine.

48de1a17fc rtlwifi: Detect misread of end-point count
In the unlikely event of a misread of the USB end point count, the driver
generates a divide fault. To prevent this, add a check of the value
returned by _rtl_usb_init(). In addition, add some logging to indicate
why the condition occurred.

3abead59fc mac80211: combine QoS with other BSS changes
When associating and particularly when disassociating
there's no need to notify the driver about changes
with multiple calls to bss_info_changed, we should
combine the QoS enabling/disabling into the same call
as otherwise the driver could get confused about QoS
suddenly getting disabled while connected.

293702a3fb mac80211: use common radiotap code for cooked monitors
There's no need to hardcode a subset of the
radiotap header for cooked monitor receive,
we can just reuse the normal monitor mode
radiotap code. This simplifies the code and
extends the information available on cooked
monitor interfaces.

1b658f118b cfg80211: Add an attribute to set inactivity timeout in AP mode
This patch adds an attribute, NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT,
to set the inactivity timeout which can be used to remove the
station in AP mode. This can be passed in NL80211_CMD_START_AP
and used by the drivers which have AP MLME in firmware but
don't support get_station() properly. To disable inactivity
timer in userspace, wpa_s for example, there is a new flag,
NL80211_FEATURE_INACTIVITY_TIMER, in nl80211_feature_flags
through which drivers can register their capability to use
the inactivity timeout to free the stations.

d665508b98 mac80211: fix the support of setting non-forwarding entity in Mesh
RANN, PREP and PERR propagation should happen only if the
dot11MeshForwarding is true.  Besides, data frame should not be
forwarded if dot11MeshForwarding is false. This redundant checking
is necessary to avoid the broadcasted ARP breaking the non-forwarding
rule.

Atheros) only provides valid signal strength information for the last
subframe.
