This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.
The rt2x00 driver update was done by Ivo, thanks.

1. from mesh_path_add() after an old hash is hidden and

Since commit e38bad4766
mac80211: make ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces not need rtnl
rt2500usb and rt73usb broke down due to attempting register access
in atomic context (which is not possible for USB hardware).
This patch restores ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() to use RTNL lock,
and provides the non-RTNL version under a new name:
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic()
So far only rt2x00 uses ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(), and those
drivers require the RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces().
Since they already call that function directly, this patch will automatically
fix the USB rt2x00 drivers.

All interfaces should set the IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS flag for all TX frames
which will force the master interface to set the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS
flag. This in turn will allow drivers to check for that flag before reporting
the TX status to mac80211.
This is very usefull when frames (like beacons, RTS and CTS-to-self) should not
be reported back to mac80211. Later we could add more extensive checks to
exclude more frames from being reported, or let mac80211 decide if it wants
the frame for status reporting or not.

trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

As discussed earlier, we can unify locking in struct sta_info
and use just a single spinlock protecting all members of the
structure that need protection. Many don't, but one of the
especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently
be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different
CPUs at the same time.
Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive
parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills
the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one
for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this
is safe.
It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta
flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this
is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be
very simple using the new static inline functions this patch
introduces for accessing sta->flags.
Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't
be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the
same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which
is in a bh context.

When we add multiple todo entries, we rely on them being executed
mostly in the right order, especially when a key is being replaced.
But when a default key is replaced, the todo list order will differ
from the order when the key being replaced is not a default key, so
problems will happen. Hence, just move each todo item to the end of
the list when it is added so we can in the other code ensure that
hw accel for a key will be disabled before it is enabled for the
replacement.

There is no need to send BSS changes to driver from beacons processed
during scanning. We are more interested in beacons from an AP with which
we are associated - these will still be used to send updates to driver as
the beacons are received without scanning.
This change·removes the requirement that bss_info_changed needs to be atomic.
The beacons received during scanning are processed from a tasklet, but if we
do not call bss_info_changed for these beacons there is no need for it to be
atomic. This function (bss_info_changed) is called either from workqueue or
ioctl in all other instances.

The previous key locking patch left a small race: it would be possible
to add a key and take the interface down before the key todo is run so
that hwaccel for that key is enabled on an interface that is down. Avoid
this by running the todo list when an interface is brought up or down.
This patch also fixes a small bug: before this change, a few functions
used the key list without the lock that protects it.

Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to
avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key()
hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA
structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there
cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected
so we cannot do things atomically.
This patch changes key locking completely:
* key operations are now atomic
* hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from
a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed
* debugfs code is also run from a workqueue
* keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA
unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the
keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is
run before STA destruction.
* fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was
required due to key operations
This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also
makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required
as much.
Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this
is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.

This patch fixes it by moving this work to the common kernel
workqueue (using schedule_work) and canceling it as appropriate.
It also fixes a related problem: When a STA is pinned by the
debugfs adding work and sta_info_flush() runs concurrently
it is not guaranteed that all STAs are removed from the driver
before the corresponding interface is removed which may lead

When we take down an interface, we need to remove the STA info
items that belong to it because otherwise we might invoke a
sta_notify() callback in the driver when we later delete the
STA entries, but in that case the driver will already have
removed its knowledge of the interface they belonged to leading
to confusion. Also, we could invoke the set_tim() callback after
the driver removed its knowledge of the interface, which can
lead to a crash if it requests a beacon with a then-invalid vif
pointer!
A side effect of this patch is that, because it was easier, it
disallows changing the WDS peer while an interface is up. Should
that actually be necessary, it can be added back, but the WDS
peer STA entry may not be added while the interface is UP so for
now I've simplified the WDS peer's STA entry lifetime management.

sta_info_add() has two functions: allocating a station info
structure and inserting it into the hash table/list. Splitting
these two functions allows allocating with GFP_KERNEL in many
places instead of GFP_ATOMIC which is now required by the RCU
protection. Additionally, in many places RCU protection is now
no longer needed at all because between sta_info_alloc() and
sta_info_insert() the caller owns the structure.
This fixes a few race conditions with setting initial flags
and similar, but not all (see comments in ieee80211_sta.c and
cfg.c). More documentation on the existing races will be in

This file implements the on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol, at this moment
using hop-count as the metric. When no mesh path exists for a given destination
or the mesh path is not active, frames addressed to that destination will be
queued and a Path Request frame will be sent. Queued frames will be sent when
the path is resolved (usually after reception of a Path Response) or discarded
if discovery times out. Path Requests will also be sent to refresh paths that
are being used and are close to expiring.
Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to
forward a frame originated in a different mesh point times out. Path Errors are
also sent when a peer link is determined to be unreachable because of high error
rates.
Multiple destination support in Path Requests and Path Errors and precursors
have not been implemented yet.

The mesh path table associates destinations with the next hop to reach them. The
table is a hash of linked lists protected by rcu mechanisms. Every mesh path
contains a lock to protect the mesh path state.
Each outgoing mesh frame requires a look up into this table. Therefore, the
table it has been designed so it is not necessary to hold any lock to find the
appropriate next hop.
If the path is determined to be active within a rcu context we can safely
dereference mpath->next_hop->addr, since it holds a reference to the sta
next_hop. After a mesh path has been set active for the first time it next_hop
must always point to a valid sta. If this is not possible the mpath must be
deleted or replaced in a RCU safe fashion.

The two important features coded in mesh.c are:
Recently Multicast Cache: in on-demand HWMP, multicast traffic is retransmitted
by every receiving node. Even though a mesh TTL counter avoids infinite loops,
it is also necessary to avoid traffic explosion by keeping a cache of multicast
mesh frame that have been received recently. With this feature, maximum number
of retransmissions of a multicast frame for the case of N nodes within the range
of each other would be N. Without it, the maximum number of retransmissions
would be in the order of N^(MESH_TTL - 1).

This patch fixes that using the list as an indication whether or

Also, this patch fixes hw accel enabling, the check for not doing
hw accel when the interface is down was lost and is restored by

enable IBSS cell merging. if an IBSS beacon with the same channel, same ESSID
and a TSF higher than the local TSF (mactime) is received, we have to join its
BSSID. while this might not be immediately apparent from reading the 802.11
standard it is compliant and necessary to make IBSS mode functional in many
cases. most drivers have a similar behaviour.
* move the relevant code section (previously only containing debug code) down
to the end of the function, so we can reuse the bss structure.
* we have to compare the mactime (TSF at the time of packet receive) rather
than the current TSF. since mactime is defined as the time the first data
symbol arrived we add the time until byte 24 where the timestamp resides, since
this is how the beacon timestamp is defined. as some some drivers are not able
to give a reliable mactime we fall back to use the current TSF, which will be
enough to catch most (but not all) cases where an IBSS merge is necessary.
* in IBSS mode we want to allow beacons to override probe response info so we
can correctly do merges.
* we don't only configure beacons based on scan results, so change that
message.
* to enable this we have to let all beacons thru in IBSS mode, even if they
have a different BSSID.
