375177bf35 mac80211: Retry null data frame for power save.
Even if the null data frame is not acked by the AP, mac80211
goes into power save. This might lead to loss of frames
from the AP.
Prevent this by restarting dynamic_ps_timer when ack is not
received for null data frames.

6c8afef551 ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames
Currently, PAE frames are not assigned proper sequence numbers.
Since sending PAE frames as part of aggregates breaks
crupto with several APs, they are sent as normal MPDUs.
Fix the seqeuence number issue by updating the frame with the
internal sequence number.

2fc1b5dd99 dst: call cond_resched() in dst_gc_task()
Kernel bugzilla #15239

On some workloads, it is quite possible to get a huge dst list to
process in dst_gc_task(), and trigger soft lockup detection.

Fix is to call cond_resched(), as we run in process context.

e15276a4b2 mac80211: Reset dynamic ps timer in Rx path.
The current mac80211 implementation enables power save if there
is no Tx traffic for a specific timeout. Hence, PS is triggered
even if there is a continuous Rx only traffic(like UDP) going on.
This makes the drivers to wait on the tim bit in the next beacon
to awake which leads to redundant sleep-wake cycles.
Fix this by restarting the dynamic ps timer on receiving every
data packet.

21b2d8bd2f iwlwifi: Send broadcast probe request only when asked to
When running directed active scans we currently end up sending both the SSID
probe requests and an additional broadcast one.
This is due to the fact that we always leave the probe request template SSID IE
length to 0. Instead we should set it to the first SSID to scan, and fill the
direct_scan array with the remaining SSIDs to scan for. This way we only send
what we've been asked to: a broadcast probe request when no directed scan is
requested, and directed probe requests otherwise.

Need to wait until driver re-establish all the station information before tear
down the aggregation queues, driver(at least iwlwifi driver) will reject the
stop aggregation queue request if station is not ready. But also need to make
sure the aggregation queues are tear down before waking up the queues, so

34e895075e mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep
Many drivers would like to sleep during station
addition and removal, and currently have a high
complexity there from not being able to.

This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
fail.

The reason we didn't do this previously is that
the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
This patch will keep the station allocation in
that path, but moves adding the station to the
driver out of line. Since the addition can now
fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
station but never tell the driver about it in
the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
a driver that has a low limit on the number of
stations and that cannot talk to any stations
that are not known to it, we need to do come up
with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

070bb5477f mac80211: don't probe if we have probe response
We can now easily determine whether we already
have probe response information for the BSS we
are asked to connect to, in which case there's
little point in probing the BSS again.

33e5a2f776 wireless: update radiotap parser
Upstream radiotap has adopted the namespace
proposal David Young made and I then took care
of, for which I had adapted the radiotap parser
as a library outside the kernel. This brings
the in-kernel parser up to speed.

690680360c mac80211_hwsim: add fake hw scan handler
For debugging hardware scan trigger/complete
functionality, it was useful to have code in
hwsim that pretends to do a hardware scan.

This code could be extended to actually do the
scan, but for now it was sufficient for me to
only pretend. Since hwsim was written to ease
debugging, it only makes sense to add it to it
permanently.

c0ce77b832 mac80211: fix deferred hardware scan requests
Reinette found the reason for the warnings that
happened occasionally when a hw-offloaded scan
finished; her description of the problem:

  mac80211 will defer the handling of scan requests if it is
  busy with management work at the time. The scan requests
  are deferred and run after the work has completed. When
  this occurs there are currently two problems.

  * The scan request for hardware scan is not fully populated
    with the band and channels to scan not initialized.

  * When the scan is queued the state is not correctly updated
    to reflect that a scan is in progress. The problem here is
    that when the driver completes the scan and calls
    ieee80211_scan_completed() a warning will be triggered
    since mac80211 was not aware that a scan was in progress.

The reason is that the queued scan work will start
the hw scan right away when the hw_scan_req struct
has already been allocated. However, in the first
pass it will not have been filled, which happens
at the same time as setting the bits. To fix this,
simply move the allocation after the pending work
test as well, so that the first iteration of the
scan work will call __ieee80211_start_scan() even
in the hardware scan case.
