Make the TX bytes/packets counters race-free by keeping

In my commit 1672c0e319
("mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status")
I broke auth/assoc timeout handling: in case we wait
for the TX status, it now leaves the timeout field set
to 0, which is a valid time and can compare as being
before now ("jiffies"). Thus, if the work struct runs
for some other reason, the auth/assoc is treated as
having timed out.
Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started"
variable that tracks whether the timeout has started
and is checked before timing out.
Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change
requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all
the frames, so set it up for all frames in mac80211.

When sending a broadcast while at least on of the connected stations is
sleeping, it gets queued and send after a DTIM beacon is sent.
If the packet was to be sent on a vlan interface, the vif used for dequeing
from the per-bss queue does not hold the per-vlan sdata. The correct sdata is
required to use the correct per-vlan broadcast/multicast key.
This patch fixes this by restoring the per-vlan sdata using the skb->dev entry.

Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the
mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while
still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to
facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211
queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues.
To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason,
IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx
queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from
waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues.
This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to
be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag,
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted
when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update
all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag.

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.

sending a deauth frame to the AP. This frame would not
go through on MFP-enabled networks as the key for it is
marked tainted before the frame is transmitted.
Allow a tainted key to be used for deauth frames. Worst
case, we'll use a wrong key because the PTK was rekeyed
while suspended, but more likely the PTK is still fine
and the taint flag really only applies to the GTK(s).

This patch prepares mac80211 for a later implementation of mesh or
ad-hoc powersave clients.
The structures related to powersave (buffer, TIM map, counters) are
moved from the AP-specific interface structure to a generic structure
that can be embedded into any interface type.
The functions related to powersave are prepared to allow easy
extension with different interface types. For example with:
+ } else if (sta->sdata->vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT) {
+ ps = &sdata->u.mesh.ps;
Some references to the AP's beacon structure are removed where they
were obviously not used.
The patch compiles without warning and has been briefly tested as AP
interface with one client in PS mode.

Instead of operating on a single channel only,
use the new channel context infrastructure in
all mac80211 code.
This enables drivers that want to use the new
channel context infrastructure to use multiple
channels, while nothing should change for all
the other drivers that don't support it.
Right now this disables both TX power settings
and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need
to be re-enabled on a channel context basis.
Additionally, when channel contexts are used
drop the connection when channel switch is
received rather than trying to handle it. This
will have to be improved later.
