b9771d41ae mac80211: support scan features for improved scan privacy
Support the new random SN and minimal probe request contents
scan flags for the case of software scan - for hardware scan
the drivers need to opt in, but may need to do only that,
depending on their implementation.

db3bdcb9c3 mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on crypto controlled devices
In the current implementation, mac80211 advertises the support of
AP_VLANs based on the driver's support for AP mode; it also
blocks encrypted AP_VLAN operation on devices advertising
SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL.

The implementation seems weird in it's current form and could be
often confusing, this is because there can be drivers advertising
both SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL and AP mode support (ex: ath10k) in which case
AP_VLAN will still be supported but only in open BSS and not in
secured BSS.

When SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL is enabled, it makes more sense if the decision
to support AP_VLANs is left to the driver. Mac80211 can then allow
AP_VLAN operations depending on the driver support.

b0d52ad821 mac80211: Add airtime account and scheduling to TXQs
This adds airtime accounting and scheduling to the mac80211 TXQ
scheduler. A new hardware flag, AIRTIME_ACCOUNTING, is added that
drivers can set if they support reporting airtime usage of
transmissions. When this flag is set, mac80211 will expect the actual
airtime usage to be reported in the tx_time and rx_time fields of the
respective status structs.

When airtime information is present, mac80211 will schedule TXQs
(through ieee80211_next_txq()) in a way that enforces airtime fairness
between active stations. This scheduling works the same way as the ath9k
in-driver airtime fairness scheduling.

e937b8da5a mac80211: Add TXQ scheduling API
This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs and changes the
interface between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling as follows:

- The wake_tx_queue callback interface no longer includes the TXQ. Instead,
  the driver is expected to retrieve that from ieee80211_next_txq()

- Two new mac80211 functions are added: ieee80211_next_txq() and
  ieee80211_schedule_txq(). The former returns the next TXQ that should be
  scheduled, and is how the driver gets a queue to pull packets from. The
  latter is called internally by mac80211 to start scheduling a queue, and
  the driver is supposed to call it to re-schedule the TXQ after it is
  finished pulling packets from it (unless the queue emptied).

The ath9k and ath10k drivers are changed to use the new API.

2316380f84 mac80211: call synchronize_net once in the restart flow
Currently the restart flow enables RX back, and then proceeds
to tear down RX and TX aggregations.
The TX aggregation tear down calls synchronize_net(), which
waits for packet receiving to be done.
This is done for every session, while RX processing is already
active, and in some reproductions it takes up to 3 seconds.
Add a call once in the restart_work, before we have traffic
active again, and remove the subsequent calls when tearing
down the aggregation.
This requires to move down the code that turns off the
reconfig flag in order to be able to test it in
_ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session().

fa962b9212 mac80211: implement fair queueing per txq
mac80211's software queues were designed to work
very closely with device tx queues. They are
required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation
easily and efficiently.

Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it
only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to
hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and
inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness.

This change doesn't translate directly to
immediate and significant gains. End result
depends on driver's induced latency. Best results
can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx
queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

80a83cfc43 mac80211: skip netdev queue control with software queuing
Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11
aggregation requirements and hand out
packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are
destined to the same tid. This does more bad than
good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave
on an ethernet interface.

Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue
congestion control whenever a global AC limit was
hit. This meant in practice a single station or
tid queue could starve others rather easily. This
could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could
just end up with poor aggregation performance.
Increasing the AC limit would increase induced
latency which is also bad.

Disabling qdiscs by default and performing
taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion
control on the other hand makes it possible for
tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while
preventing stations starving each other.

This increases aggregation opportunities and
should allow software queuing based drivers
achieve better performance by utilizing airtime
more efficiently with big aggregates.

aaa016ccd5 mac80211: rewrite remain-on-channel logic
Jouni found a bug in the remain-on-channel logic: when a short item
is queued, a long item is combined with it extending the original
one, and then the long item is deleted, the timeout doesn't go back
to the short one, and the short item ends up taking a long time. In
this case, this showed as blocking scan when running two test cases
back to back - the scan from the second was delayed even though all
the remain-on-channel items should long have been gone.

Fixing this with the current data structures turns out to be a bit
complicated, we just remove the long item from the dependents list
right now and don't recalculate the timeouts.

There's a somewhat similar bug where we delete the short item and
all the dependents go with it; to fix this we'd have to move them
from the dependents to the real list.

Instead of trying to do that, rewrite the code to not have all this
complexity in the data structures: use a single list and allow more
than one entry in it being marked as started. This makes the code a
bit more complex, the worker needs to understand that it might need
to just remove one of the started items, while keeping the device
off-channel, but that's not more complicated than the nested data
structures.

This then fixes both issues described, and makes it easier to also
limit the overall off-channel time when combining.

TODO: as before, with hardware remain-on-channel, deleting an item
after combining results in cancelling them all - we can keep track
of the time elapsed and only cancel after that to fix this.

43d6df007c mac80211: use freezable workqueue for restart work
Requesting hw restart during suspend might result
in the restart work being executed after mac80211
and the hw are suspended.

Solve the race by simply scheduling the restart
work on a freezable workqueue.

Note that there can be some cases of reconfiguration
on resume (besides the hardware restart):

* wowlan is not configured -
    All the interfaces removed were removed on suspend,
    and drv_stop() was called. At this point the driver
    shouldn't expect for hw_restart anyway, so we can
    simply cancel it (on resume).

* wowlan is configured, drv_resume() == 1
    There is no definitive expected behavior in this case,
    as each driver might have different expectations (e.g.
    setting some flags on suspend/restart vs. not handling
    spurious recovery).
    For now, simply let the hw_restart work run again after
    resume, and hope the driver will handle it well (or at
    least initiate another hw restart).

that seems a reasonable trade-off, particularly since only two of

ab499db80f mac80211: prevent possible crypto tx tailroom corruption
There was a possible race between
ieee80211_reconfig() and
ieee80211_delayed_tailroom_dec(). This could
result in inability to transmit data if driver
crashed during roaming or rekeying and subsequent
skbs with insufficient tailroom appeared.

This race was probably never seen in the wild
because a device driver would have to crash AND
recover within 0.5s which is very unlikely.

I was able to prove this race exists after
changing the delay to 10s locally and crashing
ath10k via debugfs immediately after GTK
rekeying. In case of ath10k the counter went below
0. This was harmless but other drivers which
actually require tailroom (e.g. for WEP ICV or
MMIC) could end up with the counter at 0 instead
of >0 and introduce insufficient skb tailroom
failures because mac80211 would not resize skbs
appropriately anymore.

df1404650c mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC
This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with
the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the
monitor mode support should be used instead.

Removing it removes a lot of corner cases.

80616c0db8 mac80211: allow segmentation offloads
Implement the necessary software segmentation on the normal
TX path so that fast-xmit can use segmentation offload if
the hardware (or driver) supports it.

680a0daba7 mac80211: allow drivers to support S/G
If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then
we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just
needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for
that being possible.)

However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle
fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize().

Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the
code in mac80211 at all anyway.

ba8c3d6f16 mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation
This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which
they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues
short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs.

The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver -
queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by
calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue
management later without changing drivers using this code.

This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU
aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

7bedd0cfad mac80211: use rhashtable for station table
We currently have a hand-rolled table with 256 entries and are
using the last byte of the MAC address as the hash. This hash
is obviously very fast, but collisions are easily created and
we waste a lot of space in the common case of just connecting
as a client to an AP where we just have a single station. The
other common case of an AP is also suboptimal due to the size
of the hash table and the ease of causing collisions.

Convert all of this to use rhashtable with jhash, which gives
us the advantage of a far better hash function (with random
perturbation to avoid hash collision attacks) and of course
that the hash table grows and shrinks dynamically with chain
length, improving both cases above.

Use a specialised hash function (using jhash, but with fixed
length) to achieve better compiler optimisation as suggested
by Sergey Ryazanov.

6bab2e19c5 cfg80211: pass name_assign_type to rdev_add_virtual_intf()
This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by
userspace or generated by the kernel. The latter kind (wlanX, etc)
is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices
to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots. The
former, however should never be renamed, so userspace needs to be
able to reliably tell the difference.

Similar functionality was introduced for the rtnetlink core in
commit 5517750f05 ("net: rtnetlink - make create_link take name_assign_type")

abfbc3af57 mac80211: remove TX latency measurement code
Revert commit ad38bfc916 ("mac80211: Tx frame latency statistics")
(along with some follow-up fixes).

This code turned out not to be as useful in the current form as we
thought, and we've internally hacked it up more, but that's not
very suitable for upstream (for now), and we might just do that
with tracing instead.

Therefore, for now at least, remove this code. We might also need
to use the skb->tstamp field for the TCP performance issue, which
is more important than the debugging.
