When a packet is supposed to sent be as an a-MPDU, mac80211 sets
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU to let the driver know. On the other
hand, mac80211 configures the driver for aggregration with the
ampdu_action callback.
There is race between these two mechanisms since the following
scenario can occur when the BA agreement is torn down:
Tx softIRQ drv configuration
========== =================
check OPERATIONAL bit
Set the TX_CTL_AMPDU bit in the packet
clear OPERATIONAL bit
stop Tx AGG
Pass Tx packet to the driver.
In that case the driver would get a packet with TX_CTL_AMPDU set
although it has already been notified that the BA session has been
torn down.
To fix this, we need to synchronize all the Qdisc activity after we
cleared the OPERATIONAL bit. After that step, all the following
packets will be buffered until the driver reports it is ready to get
new packets for this RA / TID. This buffering allows not to run into
another race that would send packets with TX_CTL_AMPDU unset while
the driver hasn't been requested to tear down the BA session yet.
This race occurs in practice and iwlwifi complains with a WARN_ON
when it happens.

If addBA responses comes in just after addba_resp_timer has
expired mac80211 will still accept it and try to open the
aggregation session. This causes drivers to be confused and
in some cases even crash.
This patch fixes the race condition and makes sure that if
addba_resp_timer has expired addBA response is not longer
accepted and we do not try to open half-closed session.

When the connection monitor timer fires right before
suspend, the following will happen:
timer fires -> monitor_work gets queued
suspend calls ieee80211_sta_quiesce
ieee80211_sta_quiesce:
- deletes timer
- cancels monitor_work synchronously, running it
[note wrong order of these steps]
monitor_work runs, re-arming the timer
later, timer fires while system should be quiesced
This causes a warning:
WARNING: at net/mac80211/util.c:540 ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x35/0x40 [mac80211]()

When receiving failed PLCP frames is enabled, there
won't be a rate pointer when we add the radiotap

This was another workaround for truesize "bugs".
The reason we did this was that when we orphaned
the SKB it wouldn't be truesize-checked later.
Now that the check is gone (and we just charge
the former smaller size to the socket) there's
no longer a reason to orphan the skb here.
Keep the skb charged to the socket until it is
really freed (or orphaned in TX status). This
helps flow control and allows us to get at the
socket later for other purposes.

skb_truesize_check() checked that truesize was

Recently mac80211 was changed to use nullfunc instead of probe
request for connection monitoring for tx ack status reporting
hardwares. Sometimes in congested network, STA got disconnected
quickly after the association. It was observered that the rate
control was not adopted to environment due to minimal transmission.
As the nullfunc are used for monitoring purpose, these frames should
not be sacrificed for rate control updation. So it is better to send
the monitoring null func frames at minimum rate that could help to
retain the connection.

iwlwifi has a separate EOSP notification from
the device, and to make use of that properly
it needs to be passed to mac80211. To be able
to mix with tx_status_irqsafe and rx_irqsafe
it also needs to be an "_irqsafe" version in
the sense that it goes through the tasklet,
the actual flag clearing would be IRQ-safe
but doing it directly would cause reordering
issues.
This is needed in the case of a P2P GO going
into an absence period without transmitting
any frames that should be driver-released as
in this case there's no other way to inform
mac80211 that the service period ended. Note
that for drivers that don't use the _irqsafe

Before uAPSD, we got by by telling the device that

uAPSD, however, that is no longer possible since
there could be more than a single frame.

If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received)
there is no way to detect that since it has no
sequence number. As a consequence, the standard
asks us to not react to PS-poll frames until the
response to one made it out (was ACKed or lost).
Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to
also indicate a PS-Poll "service period" and the
IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag for the response
packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual.
We could use separate flags, but that will most
likely completely confuse drivers, and while the
standard doesn't exclude simultaneously polling
using uAPSD and PS-Poll, doing that seems quite
