When we get an unexpected Block Ack Request frame, the BAID from
the hardware will be invalid, and we'll pass it to mac80211 for
further handling (sending a delBA action frame.)
Add a comment explaining that, in case anyone looks in the future.

On default queue we will not receive frame release notification,
but the BAR itself.
Upon receiving the BAR driver should look at the NSSN and adjust
window accordingly.

As pointed out by smatch, checking the BAID for just >= INVALID

The 9000 hardware will de-aggregate AMSDUs. In the process
it will copy the mac header "as is" to the new MPDUs.
This means driver should allow the same PN for MPDUs originated
from the same AMSDU.
Do that by incrementing the PN only for the last MPDU in the
sequence.

Add support CSA countdown offloading. When CSA starts, the driver
specifies the offsets to the eCSA and CSA IEs in the beacon template
command and the fw performs the countdown.
The fw notifies the driver when the channel switch flow
should be performed.
Beacon sent notifications are not used anymore.

We cannot trust NSSN for AMSDU sub-frames that are not the
last.
The reason is that NSSN advances on the first sub-frame,
and may cause the reorder buffer to advance before all the
sub-frames arrive.
Example:
Reorder buffer contains SN 0 & 2.
We receive AMSDU with SN 1 and NSSN for first sub frame 3.
The result us that driver releases SN 0,1, 2.
When sub-frame 1 arrives - reorder buffer is already ahead and
it will be dropped.
If the last sub-frame is not on this queue - we will get frame
release notification with up to date NSSN.

Up till now, the reorder buffer uses standard spec based comparison
when comparing the buffer status to NSSN. This indeed works for the
regular case, since we shouldn't cross the 2048 boundary without
getting a frame release notification.
However, this is problematic due to packet filtering that may be
performed by the FW while we are in d0i3. Theoretically we may
filter over 2048 packets, and then the check of the NSSN will get
incorrect.
Change the comparison to always trust nssn unless it is 64 or less
frames behind the head - which might happen due to a timeout.
This new comparison is to be used only when comparing reorder buffer
head with nssn, and not when comparing the packet SN to nssn or
reorder buffer head.
Put this in a separate commit as the logic is a bit tricky and
stands for its own commit message.

Add a timer in order to release expired frames from the
reorder buffer.
This is needed since some APs do not retransmit frames
to fill in the reorder holes and in TCP it results with
a complete stall of traffic.
This has a few side effects on the general design:
The nssn may not reflect the the head of the reorder buffer.
This situation is valid, and packets with SN lower than the
reorder buffer head will be dropped.
Another side effect is that since the reorder timer might expire
we need to lock the reorder buffer.
This however is fine since the locking is only inside a
single reorder buffer between RX path and reorder timeout and
there is no outside contention.

Next hardware will direct packets to core based on the TCP/UDP
streams.
This logic can create holes in reorder buffer since packets that
belong to other stream were directed to a different core.
However, those are valid holes and the packets can be indicated
in L3 order.
The hardware will utilize a mechanism of informing the driver of
the normalized ssn and the driver shall release all packets that
SN is lower than the nssn.
This enables managing the reorder across the queues without sharing
any data between them.
The reorder buffer is allocated and released directly in the RX path
in order to avoid various races between control path and rx path.
The code utilizes the internal messaging to notify rx queues of when
to delete the reorder buffer.

According to the spec when a BA session is started there
is a timeout set for the session in the ADDBA request.
If there is not activity on the TA/TID then the session
expires and a DELBA is sent.
In order to check for the timeout, data must be shared
among the rx queues.
Add a timer that runs as long as BA session is active
for the station and stops aggregation session if needed.
This patch also lays the infrastructure for the reordering
buffer which will be enabled in the next patches.

Currently the sync notification is a type of notification. However, it
is better fitted as an attribute of a notification, since there might
be another message in the payload (delba for instance) that should be

mac80211 will call the driver whenever there is a race between
RSS queues and control path that requires a processing of all
pending frames in RSS queues.
Implement that by utilizing the internal notification mechanism:
queue a message to all queues. When the message is received on
a queue it decrements the atomic counter. This guarantees that
all pending frames in the RX queue were processed since the message
is in order inside the queue.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

Currently the code checks if hardware reported both L4 and L3
checksums as valid, and only then reports it as validated to
the stack.
However, IPv6 does not have checksum at all and the L3 checksum
valid bit is always off for IPv6 packets, with the result of the
stack re-validating L4 checksum.
Fix code to set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY also for IPv6 packets whose
TCP/UDP checksum was verified.

To ensure that the SNAP/TCP/IP headers are DW aligned, the firmware
may add 2-byte pad at the end of the mac header - after the IV, before
the SNAP.
In that case the mpdu descriptor pad bit will be turned on.
Driver should take it into consideration, and remove the padding before
passing the packet to mac80211. Do that.

In multi rx queue HW, without execessive locking, there is no sync
between the ctrl path (default queue) and the rest of the rx queues.
This might cause issues on certain situations. For example, in case
a delBA was processed on a default queue but out of order packets
still wait for processing on the other queue.
The solution is to introduce internal messaging between the CTRL path
and the other rx queues.
The driver will send a message to the firmware, which will echo it to
all the requested queues. The message will be in order inside the queue.
This way we can avoid CTRL path and RSS queues races.
Add support for this messaging mechanism. As the firmware is agnostic to
the data sent, add internal representation of the data as well.
Although currently only delBA flow will use it, the internal representation
will enable generic use of this infrastructure for future uses.
Next patch will utilize this messaging mechanism for the reorder buffer
delBA flow.

Next hardware will direct TCP/UDP streams to different cores.
Packets belonging to the same stream will be directed to the same
core.
The result is that duplicates will be always directed to the same
rx queue were the first packet was received.
This enabled parallelizing the duplicate packet detection across
the different cores, without sharing data between the rx queues.

When forming IBSS, mac80211 scans in order to find an already
existing cell to join.
In case the scan does not find any existing cell a new IBSS
cell is formed.
When receiving the beacons of another IBSS cell we should
merge if the other IBSS cell's TSF is higher than ours.
However, currently iwlmvm does not set any timestamp flag in
rx_status so there is no valid rx timestamp to compare the
beacon's TSF to.
The reason for that is that TSF as indicated by the firmware
is at INA time, but up till now mac80211 expected the TSF at
the beginning or end of the MPDU.
Set the flag to the newly added RX_FLAG_MACTIME_PLCP_START flag.

As we're working on multi-queue RX, we want to parallelise checking
the PN in order to avoid having to serialise the RX processing.
It may seem that doing parallel PN checking is insecure, but it turns
out to be OK because queue assignment is done based on the data in the
frame (IP/TCP) and thus cannot be manipulated by an attacker, since
the data is encrypted and must first have been decrypted successfully.
There are some corner cases, in particular when the peer starts using
fragmentation which redirects the packet to the default queue. However
this redirection is remembered (for the STA, per TID) and thus cannot
be exploited by an attacker either.
Leave checking on the default queue (queue 0) to mac80211, since we
get fragmented packets there and those are subject to stricter checks
during reassembly.
