9306102ea5 mac80211: allow disable FAT in specific configurations
This patch allows to disable FAT channel in specific configurations.

For example the configuration (8, +1), (primary channel 8, extension
channel 12) isn't permitted in U.S., but (8, -1), (primary channel 8,
extension channel 4) is. When FAT channel configuration is not
permitted, FAT channel should be reported as not supported in the
capabilities of the HT IE in association request. And sssociation is
performed on 20Mhz channel.

23c0752a25 mac80211: clean up skb reallocation code
This cleans up the skb reallocation code to avoid problems with
skb->truesize, not resize an skb twice for a single output path
because we didn't expand it enough during the first copy and also
removes the code to further expand it during crypto operations
which will no longer be necessary.

eefce91a38 mac80211: dont allow fragmentation and requeuing on A-MPDU queues
There really is no reason for a driver to reject a frame on
an A-MPDU queue when it can stop that queue for any period
of time and is given frames one by one. Hence, disallow it
with a big warning and reduce mac80211-internal state.

Also add a warning when we try to fragment a frame destined
for an A-MPDU queue and drop it, the actual bug needs to be
fixed elsewhere but I'm not exactly sure how to yet.

e039fa4a41 mac80211: move TX info into skb->cb
This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.

A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

2e92e6f2c5 mac80211: use rate index in TX control
This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.

8566dc3fca mac80211: Fix sleeping allocation under lock in mesh_path_node_copy.
The mesh_path_node_copy() can be called like this:
mesh_path_add
 `- write_lock(&pathtbl_resize_lock); /* ! */
 `- mesh_table_grow
     `- ->copy_node
           `- mesh_path_node_copy

thus, the GFP_KERNEL is not suitable here.

The acceptable fix, I suppose, is make this allocation GPF_ATOMIC -
the mpath_node being allocated is 4 pointers, i.e. this allocation
is small enough to survive even under a moderate memory pressure.

5194ee82b4 mac80211: Fix one more call to synchronize_rcu in atomic context.
(This set applies OK without the previous one of 4 patches,
 but with some fuzz in the 7th one)

The mesh_path_node_free() does so under hashwlock.

But, this one is called
1. from mesh_path_add() after an old hash is hidden and
   synchronize_rcu() is calld
2. mesh_pathtbl_unregister(), when the module is being
   unloaded and no devices exist to mess with this hash.

So, it seems to me, that simply removing the call is OK.

28353e7fad tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port references
This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it
only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber
connection, rather than two.  This is achieved by letting the
reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber
act as the reference to the subscriber object itself.  (Since
the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa,
this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.)  This
consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50%
in the default configuration.

This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of

b0a6717994 mac80211: Set IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS for all TX frames
All interfaces should set the IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS flag for all TX frames
which will force the master interface to set the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS
flag. This in turn will allow drivers to check for that flag before reporting
the TX status to mac80211.

This is very usefull when frames (like beacons, RTS and CTS-to-self) should not
be reported back to mac80211. Later we could add more extensive checks to
exclude more frames from being reported, or let mac80211 decide if it wants
the frame for status reporting or not.

v2: Monitor interfaces should also set IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS

601ae7f25a mac80211: make rx radiotap header more flexible
use hw flags and rx flags to determine which fields are present in the header
and use all available information from the driver.

make sure radiotap header starts at a naturally aligned address (mod 8) for
all radiotap fields.

566bfe5a8b mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

fac371d9f0 mac80211: fix queue constant confusion
In commit 31ccc476b77234f6afb3 (mac80211: QoS related cleanups) I
accidentally changed these to use IEEE80211_MAX_AMPDU_QUEUES twice
which obviously is wrong, it should be IEEE80211_MAX_QUEUES once.
Currently harmless as they're both the same value anyway.
