9bf9fca8de ath9k: Synchronize DMA transfer with CPU at right place
This patch does pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu() before accessing
the header of the frame and queueing the same buffer into h/w.

baad1d921b ath9k: Report HT rates in RX status
Fix and clean up the RX status reporting by getting rid of code that
used internal rate tables and ratekbps calculation. The correct value
is now reported with MCS index instead of the old mechanism that
defaulted to using the highest legacy rate.

9c5f89b3f6 ath9k: Do not remove header padding on RX from short frames
The 802.11 header is only padded to 32-bit boundary when the frame has
a non-zero length payload. In other words, control frames (e.g., ACK)
do not have a padding and we should not try to remove it. This fixes
monitor mode for short control frames. In addition, the hdrlen&3 use
is described in more detail to make it easier to understand how the
padding length is calculated.

3706de6f58 ath9k: Maintain rate table choice after association
A scan run after association would change sc_curmode which is
used to get the current rate table. This patch fixes it
by removing sc_curmode and setting the rate table in usage in cur_rate_table

cb71d9bafb ath9k: Handle -ENOMEM on RX gracefully
We would get an oops on RX on -ENOMEM by passing
NULL to the hardware on ath_rx_buf_link(). The oops
would look something like this:

ath_rx_tasklet+0x515/0x53b
ath9k_tasklet+0x48
tasklet_action
__do_softirq
irq_exit
do_IRQ

RIP: ath_rx_buf_link+0x3a

We correct this by handling the requeue directly on
the ath_rx_tasklet() and trying to allocate an skb
*prior* to sending up the last hardware processed
skb. If we run out of memory this gauranteees we have
skbs to work with while it simply drops new received
frames.

b4b6cda229 ath9k: correct expected max RX buffer size
We should only tell the hardware its capable of DMA'ing
to us only what we asked dev_alloc_skb(). Prior to this
it is possible a large RX'd frame could have corrupted
DMA data but for us but we were saved only because we
were previously also pci_map_single()'ing the same large
value. The issue prior to this though was we were unmapping
a smaller amount which the prior DMA patch fixed.

ca0c7e5101 ath9k: Fix SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation
This should fix the SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation
seen ok kernel.org bugzilla 11811:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11811

Users on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2 would see something like:

DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 4224 bytes at device 0000:0b:00.0

Unfortunately its only easy to trigger on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2
so far so its difficult to debug (even with swiotlb=force).

We were pci_unmap_single()'ing less bytes than what we called
for with pci_map_single() and as such we were starving
the swiotlb from its 64MB amount of bounce buffers. We remain
consistent and now always use sc->rxbufsize for RX. While at
it we update the beacon DMA maps as well to only use the data
portion of the skb, previous to this we were pci_map_single()'ing
more data for beaconing than what we tell the hardware it can use,
therefore pushing more iotlb abuse.

Still not sure why this is so easily triggerable on
MacBook Pro 3.1, it may be the hardware configuration
tends to use more memory > 3GB mark for DMA.

ae5eb02641 mac80211: rewrite HT handling
The HT handling has the following deficiencies, which I've
(partially) fixed:
 * it always uses the AP info even if there is no AP,
   hence has no chance of working as an AP
 * it pretends to be HW config, but really is per-BSS
 * channel sanity checking is left to the drivers
 * it generally lets the driver control too much

HT enabling is still wrong with this patch if you have more than
one virtual STA mode interface, but that never happens currently.
Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be
wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht().

Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs:
 * mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any
             more since the refactoring
 * iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff
               mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA
 * ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API

I'm not entirely happy with putting the HT capabilities into
struct ieee80211_sta as restricted to our own HT TX capabilities,
but I see no cleaner solution for now.

             whole element, add size checking (another out-of-bounds

 * a few minor other things

6f255425ac ath9k: enable ANI to help with noisy environments
This enables Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI) on ath9k.
ANI is as algorithm designed to minimize the detrimental
effects of time-varying interferences. This should
help with throughput in noisy environments. To use
ANI we re-enable the MIB interrupt. Since ANI works
on a timer and updates the noise floor we take
advantage of this and also report a non-static noise
floor now to mac80211.

773b4e02be ath9: Fix ath_rx_flush_tid() for IRQs disabled kernel warning message.
This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid()
uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211.

As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion
of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not
be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the
kernel warning message.

Pasted the kernel warning message for reference.
