Commit 3a25a8c8 (mac80211: add improved HW queue control) introduced a
bug when running in AP mode without the IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL
flag set. The ieee80211_check_queues() function always returns
-EINVAL, preventing AP mode from starting. To fix this, check whether
this flag is set before checking if cab_queue is set properly.

I noticed a possible issue in the status count field management of the
ieee80211_tx_info data structure. In particular, when the AGGR
processing is employed,
status.rates[].count is set just for the first frame and not for
others belonging to the same burst, leading to wrong statistic data in
the mac80211 debug file system.

In WoWLAN, we only get the triggers when we actually get
to suspend. As a consequence, drivers currently don't
know that the device should enable wakeup. However, the
device_set_wakeup_enable() API is intended to be called
when the wakeup is enabled, not later when needed.
Add a new set_wakeup() call to cfg80211 and mac80211 to
allow drivers to properly call device_set_wakeup_enable.

mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue
per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel
uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue
is full and then try to send an off-channel frame
the frame will never go out. This will become worse
when we support multi-channel since then a queue on
one channel might be full, but we have to stop the
software queue for all channels. That is obviously
not desirable.
To address this problem allow drivers to register
more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to
virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue
the corresponding AC software queues on the correct
interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally,
there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem
and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This
allows drivers to manage software queues closer to
how the hardware works.
Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues.
This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it
as needed.

The queue mapping redesign that I'm planning to do
will break pure injection unless we handle monitor
interfaces explicitly. One possible option would
be to have the driver tell mac80211 about monitor
mode queues etc., but that would duplicate the API
since we already need to have queue assignments
handled per virtual interface.
So in order to solve this, have a virtual monitor
interface that is added whenever all active vifs
are monitors. We could also use the state of one
of the monitor interfaces, but managing that would
be complicated, so allocate separate state.

This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).
The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
following functions:
rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
received.
adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
to be transmitted.
The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific
methods.
When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
and compensate clock drift.
In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
introducing a jitter of ~20us.
It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
etc.

Reading and writing back the tsf value via tsf is too slow if one wants
to make small increments to this timer. With this change you can use
the syntax "+=<some value>" or "-=<some value>" to add or substract a

When we get more hardware queues, we'll still want
to only have netdev queues per AC, so set it up in
that way. If the hardware doesn't support QoS (by
not supporting at least 4 queues) the netdevs get
a single queue only (this is no change in behavior
as there are no drivers with 2 or 3 queues today.)

Drivers that don't support QoS also don't support
setting up their ACs, catch that early. While at
it, remove the input check since cfg80211 does it
now.
Also fix up the restart code to not try to set up
the queues in this case.
Finally also change the tx_conf array to have
IEEE80211_NUM_ACS entries instead of # of queues
since that's what it really needs.

The channel type argument to the rate_update()
callback isn't really the correct way to give
the rate control algorithm about the desired
RX bandwidth of the peer.
Remove this argument, and instead update the
STA capabilities with 20/40 appropriately. The
SMPS update done by this callback works in the
same way, so this makes the callback cleaner.

Changing the channel type during operation is
confusing to some drivers and will be hard to
handle in multi-channel scenarios. Instead of
changing the channel, set it to the right HT
channel before authenticating/associating and
don't change it -- just update the 20/40 MHz
restrictions in rate control as needed when
changed by the AP.
This also fixes a problem that Paul missed in
his fix for the "regulatory makes us deaf"
issue -- when we couldn't use 40 MHz we still
associated saying we were using 40 MHz, which
could in similarly broken APs make us never
even connect successfully.

Not all devices are really capable of implementing
remain-on-channel, even if it is implemented in SW,
as they can't necessarily deal with channel changes
while associated.
Remove the WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL and add
it only if either the driver has remain_on_channel
implemented in the driver/device.
Also add it to all drivers that advertise P2P right
now since those definitely have to have it working.

This patch is intended to solve the follwing issues in RANN propagation:
[1] The interval in propagated RANN should be based on the interval of received RANN.
[2] The aggregated path metric for propagated RANN is as received plus own link metric
towards the transmitting mesh STA (not root mesh STA).
[3] The comparison of path metric for RANN with same sequence number should be done
before deciding whether to propagate or not.

When receiving DTIM we currently disable power save mode in the
hardware unconditionally, i.e. also when the hardware was not sleeping.
This causes trouble with at least one wireless chipset (Ralink RT3572).
When the hardware is not sleeping and we send a wakeup command (e.g.
this happens after a scan) then a significant decrease of the link
quality or a disconnect may occur.
Disabling power save mode only when it was enabled prevents this issue.

Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the
timeout doesn't need to be so precise.
Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies
of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and
let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp.
Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems
running on battery.
This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded
systems.

There might be latency at AP side to update TIM IE which could cause the
station to send pspoll frame even after the wakeup. If the powersave is
disabled, the nullfunc notification alone is sufficient to receive
frames from the AP. And if the pspoll frame was already sent, no need to
resend the frame till it was acked by AP.
