Marco Porsch 3f52b7e328 mac80211: mesh power save basics 
Add routines to
- maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode
- indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames
- track neighbor STAs power modes
- buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode
- add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons
- release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods

Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power
mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer
link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh
config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor
changes.
Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the
non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated
mesh peering is currently not working when either node is
configured to be in power save mode.

Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS
Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions.
For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame
flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA
pointer is already available.

Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific
power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to
represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations.
Track power modes based on received frames.

Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS
neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer).

Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame
buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer
and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons.

Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or
deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE
similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received
Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames.

Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use
the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status.
Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end
the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and
show large delay spikes and frame losses.

This option selects the default rate control algorithm
mac80211 will use. Note that this default can still be
overridden through the ieee80211_default_rc_algo module
parameter if different algorithms are available.
config MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID
bool "PID controller based rate control algorithm"
depends on MAC80211_RC_PID

Select the PID controller based rate control as the
default rate control algorithm. You should choose
this unless you know what you are doing.

config MAC80211_MESH
bool "Enable mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support"
depends on MAC80211 && EXPERIMENTAL
---help---
This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking.
The implementation is based on Draft 2.08 of the Mesh Networking
amendment. However, no compliance with that draft is claimed or even
possible, as drafts leave a number of identifiers to be defined after
ratification. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.
config MAC80211_LEDS

depends on MAC80211
---help---
Select this option to have mac80211 register the
mac80211_msg trace subsystem with tracepoints to
collect all debugging messages, independent of
printing them into the kernel log.
The overhead in this option is that all the messages
need to be present in the binary and formatted at
runtime for tracing.

---help---
This option collects various mac80211 debug settings.
config MAC80211_NOINLINE
bool "Do not inline TX/RX handlers"
depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU
---help---
This option affects code generation in mac80211, when
selected some functions are marked "noinline" to allow
easier debugging of problems in the transmit and receive
paths.
This option increases code size a bit and inserts a lot
of function calls in the code, but is otherwise safe to
enable.
If unsure, say N unless you expect to be finding problems
in mac80211.

Selecting this option causes mac80211 to print out
very verbose IBSS debugging messages. It should not
be selected on production systems as those messages
are remotely triggerable.
Do not select this option.
