The aggregation code has a number of quirks, like
inventing an unneeded WLAN_BACK_TIMER value and
leaking memory under certain circumstances during
station destruction. Fix these issues by using
the regular aggregation session teardown code and
blocking new aggregation sessions, all before the
station is really destructed.
As a side effect, this gets rid of the long code
block to destroy aggregation safely.
Additionally, rename tid_state_rx which can only
have the values IDLE and OPERATIONAL to
tid_active_rx to make it easier to understand
that there is no bitwise stuff going on on the
RX side -- the TX side remains because it needs
to keep track of the driver and peer states.

cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association
commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements,
user space applications may need to clear authentication or
association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with
deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication
or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to
allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other
deauth/disassoc operations being completed.
Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in
the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange
in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an
authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without
sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication
command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to
indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This
enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully.

When operating in 1-bit mode, SDAT1 is used as dedicated interrupt line.
However, the 8686 will only drive this line when the ECSI bit is set in
the CCCR_IF register.

Add interface to disable/enable QoS (aka WMM or WME). Currently drivers
enable it explicitly when ->conf_tx method is called, and newer disable.
Disabling is needed for some APs, which do not support QoS, such
we should send QoS frames to them.

Mac80211 drivers can now pass paged SKBs to mac80211 via
ieee80211_rx{_irqsafe}. The implementation currently use
skb_linearize() in a few places i.e. management frame

process. We will optimize them one by one later.

Add support for the set_cqm_config op. This op function configures the
requested connection quality monitor rssi threshold and rssi hysteresis
values to the hardware if the hardware supports
IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CQM.
For unsupported hardware, currently -EOPNOTSUPP is returned, so the mac80211
is currently not doing connection quality monitoring on the host. This could be
added later, if needed.

Add support for basic configuration of a connection quality monitoring to the
nl80211 interface, and basic support for notifying about triggered monitoring
events.
Via this interface a user-space connection manager may configure and receive
pre-warning events of deteriorating WLAN connection quality, and start
preparing for roaming in advance, before the connection is already lost.
An example usage of such a trigger is starting scanning for nearby AP's in
an attempt to find one with better connection quality, and associate to it
before the connection characteristics of the existing connection become too bad
or the association is even lost, leading in a prolonged delay in connectivity.
The interface currently supports only RSSI, but it could be later extended
to include other parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio, if need for that
arises.

This patch is based on a RFC patch by Kalle Valo.
The wl1271 has a feature which handles the connection monitor logic
in hardware, basically sending periodically nullfunc frames and reporting
to the host if AP is lost, after attempting to recover by sending
probe-requests to the AP.
Add support to mac80211 by adding a new flag IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR
which prevents conn_mon_timer from triggering during idle periods, and
prevents sending probe-requests to the AP if beacon-loss is indicated by the
hardware.

Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel
with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update()
notification to the driver.
This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel
is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it
is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver
depending on stale information, defaulting to non-HT mode always.
Fix this by passing the new channel type to the driver.

With the Bluetooth 3.0 specification and the introduction of alternate
MAC/PHY (AMP) support, it is required to differentiate between primary
BR/EDR controllers and 802.11 AMP controllers. So introduce a special
type inside HCI device for differentiation.
For now all AMP controllers will be treated as raw devices until an
AMP manager has been implemented.

The alignment requirement for 64-bit load/store instructions on ARM is
implementation defined. Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not
generate an exception, if such an instruction is executed with an
address that is not 64 bit aligned. In such a case, the Feroceon
corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the
rx path of ath9k that only occured with CONFIG_XFRM set.
This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status
info in the cb is an u64, and changing it corrupted the skb->sp field.
This patch also closes some potential pre-existing holes in the sk_buff
struct surrounding the cb[] area.

commit e8469ed959c373c2ff9e6f488aa5a14971aebe1f

Support specifying the initial device flags when creating a device though
rtnl_link. Devices allocated by rtnl_create_link() are marked as INITIALIZING
in order to surpress netlink registration notifications. To complete setup,
rtnl_configure_link() must be called, which performs the device flag changes
and invokes the deferred notifiers if everything went well.
Two examples:

Split dev_change_flags() into two functions: __dev_change_flags() to
perform the actual changes and __dev_notify_flags() to invoke netdevice
notifiers. This will be used by rtnl_link to defer netlink notifications
until the device has been fully configured.
This changes ordering of some operations, in particular:
- netlink notifications are sent after all changes have been performed.
As a side effect this surpresses one unnecessary netlink message when
the IFF_UP and other flags are changed simultaneously.
- The NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGE notifiers are invoked
after all changes have been performed. Their relative is unchanged.
- net_dmaengine_put() is invoked before the NETDEV_DOWN notifier instead
of afterwards. This should not make any difference since both RX and TX
are already shut down at this point.

In order to support specifying device flags during device creation,
we must be able to roll back device registration in case setting the
flags fails without sending any notifications related to the device
to userspace.
This patch changes rollback_registered_many() and register_netdevice()
to manually send netlink notifications for devices not handled by
rtnl_link and allows to defer notifications for devices handled by
rtnl_link until setup is complete.

Before the scheduler starts, all tasks are non-preemptible by
definition. So, during that time, rcu_read_lock_sched_held()
needs to always return "true". This patch makes that be so
for RCU_PROVE_LOCKING=n.
