Instead of first checking if a BSS is an MBSS
and then doing the comparisons, inline it all
into the BSS comparison function. This avoids
doing the IE searches twice and is also a lot
less code.

When trying to find a hidden SSID, the lookup function
is done wrong; the code is trying to combine the two
lookups into one, and as a consequence doesn't always
find the entry at all. To understand this, consider a
case where multiple BSS entries with the same channel
and BSSID exist but have different SSID length. Then
comparing against the probe response SSID length is
bound to cause problems since the hidden one might be
either zeroed out or zero-length.
To fix this we need to do two lookups for the two ways
to hide SSIDs.

In per-station statistics, present 32bit counters are too small
for practical purposes - with gigabit speeds, it get overlapped
every few seconds.
Expand counters in the struct station_info to be 64-bit.
Driver can still fill only 32-bit and indicate in @filled
only bits like STATION_INFO_[TR]X_BYTES; in case driver provides
full 64-bit counter, it should also set in @filled
bit STATION_INFO_[TR]RX_BYTES64
Netlink sends both 32-bit and 64-bit counters, if present, to not
break userspace.

With multi-channel, there's a corner case where a driver
doesn't receive a beacon soon enough to be able to sync
its timers with the AP. In this case, the only recovery
(after trying again) is to disconnect from the AP. Allow
calling ieee80211_connection_loss() for such cases. To
make that possible, modify the work function to not rely
on the IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR flag but use new
state kept in the interface instead.

Patch vastly improve latency while scanning. Slight throughput
improvements were observed as well. Is intended for improve performance
of voice and video applications, when scan is periodically requested by
user space (i.e. default NetworkManager behaviour).
Patch remove latency requirement based on PM_QOS_NETWORK_LATENCY,
this value is 2000 seconds by default (i.e. approximately 0.5 hour !?!).
Also remove listen interval requirement, which based on beaconing and
depending on BSS parameters. It can make we stay off-channel for a
second or more.
Instead try to offer the best latency that we could, i.e. be off-channel
no longer than PASSIVE channel scan time: 125 ms. That mean we will
scan two ACTIVE channels and go back to on-channel, and one PASSIVE
channel, and go back to on-channel.
Patch also decrease PASSIVE channel scan time to about 110 ms.
As drawback patch increase overall scan time. On my tests, when scanning
both 2GHz and 5GHz bands, scanning time increase from 5 seconds up to 10
seconds. Since that increase happen only when we are associated, I think
it can be acceptable. If eventually better scan time is needed for
situations when we lose signal and quickly need to decide to which AP
roam, additional scan flag or parameter can be introduced.
I tested patch by doing:
while true; do iw dev wlan0 scan; sleep 3; done > /dev/null
and
ping -i0.2 -c 1000 HOST
on remote and local machine, results are as below:
* Ping from local periodically scanning machine to AP:

When sending authentication/association frames they
might take a bit of time to go out because we may
have to synchronise with the AP, in particular in
the case where it's really a P2P GO. In this case
the 200ms fixed timeout could potentially be too
short if the beacon interval is relatively large.
For drivers that report TX status we can do better.
Instead of starting the timeout directly, start it
only when the frame status arrives. Since then the
frame was out on the air, we can wait shorter (the
typical response time is supposed to be 30ms, wait
100ms.) Also, if the frame failed to be transmitted
try again right away instead of waiting.

Currently, when the driver requires the DTIM period,
mac80211 will wait to hear a beacon before association.
This behavior is suboptimal since some drivers may be
able to deal with knowing the DTIM period after the
association, if they get it at all.
To address this, notify the drivers with bss_info_changed
with the new BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD flag when the DTIM
becomes known. This might be when changing to associated,
or later when the entire association was done with only
probe response information.
Rename the hardware flag for the current behaviour to
IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC to more accurately
reflect its behaviour. IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD is
no longer accurate as all drivers get the DTIM period
now, just not before association.

The standard mandates mesh STAs to set the ERP Short Slot
Time capability info bit in beacons to 0. Even though this
is their way of disallowing short slot time for mesh STAs,
there should be no harm in enabling it if we determine all
STAs in the current MBSS support ERP rates.
Increases throughput about 20% for legacy rates when
enabled.

this capability by setting the maximum number of MAC
addresses in such a list in wiphy->max_acl_mac_addrs.

For drivers that don't actually flush their queues when
aggregation stop with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH
or IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT reasons is done,
like iwlwifi or iwlegacy, mac80211 can then transmit on
a TID that the driver still considers busy. This happens
in the following way:
- IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH requested
- driver marks TID as emptying
- mac80211 removes tid_tx data, this can copy packets
to the TX pending queues and also let new packets
through to the driver
- driver gets unexpected TX as it wasn't completely
converted to the new API
In iwlwifi, this lead to the following warning:
WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c:442 iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0

Fortunately, solving this problem is easy as the station
is being destroyed, so such transmit packets can only
happen due to races. Instead of trying to close the race
just let the race not reach the drivers by making two
changes:
1) remove the explicit aggregation session teardown in
the managed mode code, the same thing will be done
when the station is removed, in __sta_info_destroy.
2) When aggregation stop with AGG_STOP_DESTROY_STA is
requested, leave the tid_tx data around as stopped.
It will be cleared and freed in cleanup_single_sta
later, but until then any racy packets will be put
onto the tid_tx pending queue instead of transmitted
which is fine since the station is being removed.

it might upset the synchronization of the BlockAck receive window of the
remote node. The use of the retry_tx parameter to reset/tx-drain functions

Since rt2800 hardware isn't capable of reporting the TX status of
BlockAckReq frames implement the TX status handling of BARs in
rt2x00lib. We keep track of all BARs that are send out and try to
match incoming BAs to the appropriate BARs. This allows us to report a
more or less accurate TX status for BAR frames which in turn improves
BA session stability.
This is loosley based on Christian Lamparter's patch for carl9170
"carl9170: fix HT peer BA session corruption".
We have to walk the list of pending BARs for every rx'red BA even
though most BAs don't belong to any of these BARs as they are just
acknowledging an AMPDU. To keep that overhead low use RCU which allows
us to walk the list of pending BARs without the need to acquire a lock.
This however requires us to _copy_ relevant information from the BAR
(RA, TA, control field, start sequence number) into our BAR list entry.
