All 802.11n PCI devices (Cardbus, PCI, mini-PCI) require
serialization of IO when on non-uniprocessor systems. PCI
express devices not not require this.
This should fix our only last standing open ath9k kernel.org
bugzilla bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12110
A port is probably required to older kernels and I can work on
that.

This was not supposed to be a bitwise AND operation, but a check of
two separate conditions. Anyway, the old code happened to result in
the same behavior, so this is just changing the code to be easier to
understand and also to keep sparse from warning about dubious
operators.

This patch reverts "ath9k: Fix TX status reporting for retries and MCS index"
because that change ended up breaking ath9k rate control. While the
MCS index reporting to mac80211 was indeed fixed by the patch, it did
not take into account that the ath9k rate control algorithm was
updating private tables based on this index and the index comes
through the rate control API call, i.e., based on mac80211 TX status
call. In addition, it looks like the "fix" to remove +1 from TX status
'count' field was not correct based on ieee80211_tx_status()
implementation that counts the total of count values, but starting
from -1, not 0.
The TX status reporting for frames using MCS needs to be fixed
somehow, but it does not look like there is any easy fix for the ath9k
rate control algorithm, so the best option now seems to be to revert the
change and bring it back once the rate control code is cleaned up to
handle this better.

CONFIG_ATH9K=y results in build issues if CONFIG_RFKILL=m since ath9k
does not depend on rfkill in kconfig (i.e., CONFIG_RFKILL is used to
select whether to enable rfkill in ath9k), but uses its functions if
rfkill is enabled. Enforce ath9k to be build as a module if
CONFIG_RFKILL=m to avoid this invalid configuration.

The RX code in ath9k uses sc_keymap to figure out whether a default
key was used. However, the default key entries in sc_keymap were
always set and as such, frames could have been claimed to be decrypted
by hardware when they were not. This can cause problems especially
with TKIP since mac80211 is validating the Michael MIC in the frame
and this will result in MIC failure and potentially TKIP
countermeasures if the frame was not decrypted correctly.
Change key cache slot allocation to mark only the keys that really
have been used in sc_keymap to avoid the issue. The key cache slot
selection routines are now internally avoiding the slots that may be
needed for TKIP group keys.

The 802.11 header is only padded to 32-bit boundary when the frame has
a non-zero length payload. In other words, control frames (e.g., ACK)
do not have a padding and we should not try to remove it. This fixes
monitor mode for short control frames. In addition, the hdrlen&3 use

ath_tx_complete_buf uses a BH version of spinlock and so releasing

callback as MAC80211 disables hardirqs before the driver callback

As ath_tx_complete_buf is shared between user and softirq context
using normal spinlock may not be appropriate. Though the proper

It looks like there are some issues in the current ath9k version as
far as staggered Beacon frame scheduling is concerned. This results in
Beacon frame timestamp being off by 25 milliseconds or so which can
cause issues with multicast power save buffering in AP mode. Some
client stations fail to receive multicast frames when there is this
large an offset between TBTT and actual Beacon transmission time.
Since ath9k does not yet support multiple BSSes anyway, the staggered
Beacon frame scheduling is just increasing the number of interrupts at
this point. The easiest fix for the timestamp offset is to disable
staggered Beacon frames for now. We need to redesign beacon.c anyway
when adding multi-BSS support with mac80211 since the existing code
depends on different mechanism for Beacon frame transmission.
