80a112ffe8 wl1251: fix sleep related error paths in wl1251_op_bss_info_changed()
In various cases wl1251_op_bss_info_changed() did not call elp_sleep()
after an error was noticed. Fix it by using correct goto label.

The bug was a theoretical one, in practise it doesn't matter because
if commands start returning errors there will be lots of other problems.

The current scanning code wasn't following the preferred style. Move code
related to scan and trigger scan to commans to wl1251_cmd.c. Because
there's now less code in wl1251_hw_scan(), the function can be now
merged with wl1251_op_hw_scan().

7044cc565b mac80211: add functions to create PS Poll and Nullfunc templates
Some hardware, for example wl1251 and wl1271, handle the transmission
of power save related frames in hardware, but the driver is responsible
for creating the templates. It's better to create the templates in mac80211,
that way all drivers can benefit from this.

Add two new functions, ieee80211_pspoll_get() and ieee80211_nullfunc_get()
which drivers need to call to get the frame. Drivers are also responsible
for updating the templates after each association.

Also new struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr is added to ieee80211.h to make it
easy to calculate length of the Nullfunc frame.

13ae75b103 nl80211: New command for setting TX rate mask for rate control
Add a new NL80211_CMD_SET_TX_BITRATE_MASK command and related
attributes to provide support for setting TX rate mask for rate
control. This uses the existing cfg80211 set_bitrate_mask operation
that was previously used only with WEXT compat code (SIOCSIWRATE). The
nl80211 command allows more generic configuration of allowed rates as
a mask instead of fixed/max rate.

37eb0b164c cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate control
Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask
instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change
itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it
prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting
which rates can be used in TX rate control.

Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm
unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now
be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to
optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled.

The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained
(but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing
RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to
use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be
removed.

e00cfce0cb mac80211: Select lowest rate based on basic rate set in AP mode
If the basic rate set is configured to not include the lowest rate
(e.g., basic rate set = 6, 12, 24 Mbps in IEEE 802.11g mode), the AP
should not send out broadcast frames at 1 Mbps. This type of
configuration can be used to optimize channel usage in cases where
there is no need for backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.11b-only
devices.

In AP mode, mac80211 was unconditionally using the lowest rate for
Beacon frames and similarly, with all rate control algorithms that use
rate_control_send_low(), the lowest rate ended up being used for all
broadcast frames (and all unicast frames that are sent before
association). Change this to take into account the basic rate
configuration in AP mode, i.e., use the lowest rate in the basic rate
set instead of the lowest supported rate when selecting the rate.

3578e6ebb3 ath5k: Reimplement clock rate to usec conversion
The original code was correct in 802.11a mode only, 802.11b/g uses
different clock rates. The new code uses values taken from FreeBSD HAL
and should be correct for all modes including turbo modes.

The former rate calculation was used by slope coefficient calculation
function ath5k_hw_write_ofdm_timings. However, this function requires
the 802.11a values even in 802.11g mode. Thus the use of
ath5k_hw_htoclock was replaced by hardcoded values. Possibly the slope
coefficient calculation is not related to clock rate at all.

14acdde6e5 ath9k: re-enable ps by default for new single chip families
The newer single chip hardware family of chipsets have not been
experiencing issues with power saving set by default with recent
fixes merged (even into stable). The remaining issues are only
reported with AR5416 and since enabling PS by default can increase
power savings considerably best to take advantage of that feature
as this has been tested properly.

For more details on this issue see the bug report:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14267

We leave AR5416 with PS disabled by default, that seems to require
some more work.

ip link set wlan0 address 00:1f:df:88:cd:55

mac80211 used the address 01:00:00:1f:df:88 instead. It was shifted two
bytes.

The reason was that the addr (type of void *) provided to
ieee80211_change_mac() is actually of type struct sockaddr, not just the
mac address array. Also the call to eth_mac_addr() expects the address to
be struct sockaddr.

Fix it by casting the pointers to unsigned long instead. This makes the
compiler happy again.

Compile-tested only.

61b91c1ea3 iwlwifi: remove linux/utsrelease.h dependency
Commit 250cce26d5 uses UTS_RELEASE
as the the in-tree iwlwifi driver version. However the inclusion
of generated/utsrelease.h makes it a unpleasant behaviour to
recompile the driver everytime when utsrelease.h is updated. In
fact, the driver module is already built with the UTS_RELEASE
information via vermagic of modinfo. Mark the in-tree driver
with the version string "in-tree" to distinguish with those old
out-of-tree drivers.

7a4a77b777 rt2x00: Properly request tx headroom for alignment operations.
Current rt2x00 drivers may result in a "ieee80211_tx_status: headroom too
small" error message when a frame needs to be properly aligned before
transmitting it.
This is because the space needed to ensure proper alignment isn't
requested from mac80211.
Fix this by adding sufficient amount of alignment space to the amount
of headroom requested for TX frames.

cf0277e714 mac80211: fix skb buffering issue
Since I removed the master netdev, we've been
keeping internal queues only, and even before
that we never told the networking stack above
the virtual interfaces about congestion. This
means that packets are queued in mac80211 and
the upper layers never know, possibly leading
to memory exhaustion and other problems.

This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and
uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into
queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver
stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding
queues for the virtual interfaces as well.

The injection case will use VO by default for
non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but
downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It
needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow
chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.
