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.

07346f81e8 mac80211: proper STA info locking
As discussed earlier, we can unify locking in struct sta_info
and use just a single spinlock protecting all members of the
structure that need protection. Many don't, but one of the
especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently
be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different
CPUs at the same time.

Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive
parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills
the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one
for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this
is safe.

It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta
flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this
is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be
very simple using the new static inline functions this patch
introduces for accessing sta->flags.

Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't
be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the
same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which
is in a bh context.

5c5e12898a mac80211: fix wme code
In commit e100bb64bf (mac80211:
QoS related cleanups) I accidentally changed a variable from
int to u16 causing a warning that a comparison for < 0 was always
false. John thought this was a missing deletion of code and removed
the warning by deleting the never executed branch of code in commit
3df5ee60f1 (wireless: fix warning
introduced by "mac80211: QoS related cleanups") but the problem really
was my mistake of using a u16 variable for the queue variable when
that variable can also contain an error code. This patch restores
the original code and variable type.

c6adbd2158 mac80211: Add IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE
This adds a new flag to the ieee80211_key_conf structure.
This flag will inform the driver the key is pairwise rather then
a shared key.

This is important for drivers who support both types of keys,
and need to be informed which type of key this is. Alternative
would be drivers checking the address argument of set_key(),
but it will be safer when mac80211 is more explicit.

1c01442058 mac80211: Replace ieee80211_tx_control->key_idx with ieee80211_key_conf
The hw_key_idx inside the ieee80211_key_conf structure does
not provide all the information drivers might need to perform
hardware encryption.

This is in particular true for rt2x00 who needs to know the
key algorithm and whether it is a shared or pairwise key.

By passing the ieee80211_key_conf pointer it assures us that
drivers can make full use of all information that it should know
about a particular key.

Additionally this patch updates all drivers to grab the hw_key_idx from
the ieee80211_key_conf structure.

a46f025d05 mac80211: Fix n-band association problem
There are two structures named wmm_info and wmm_param, they are used while
parsing the beacon frame. (Check the function ieee802_11_parse_elems).
Certain APs like D-link does not set the fifth bit in WMM IE.
While sending the association request to n-only ap it checks for wmm_ie.
If it is set then only ieee80211_ht_cap is sent during association request.
So n-only association fails.
And this patch fixes this problem by copying the wmm_info to wmm_ie,
which enables the "wmm" flag in iee80211_send_assoc.

mostly in the right order, especially when a key is being replaced.
But when a default key is replaced, the todo list order will differ

problems will happen. Hence, just move each todo item to the end of

d18ef29f34 mac80211: no BSS changes to driver from beacons processed during scanning
There is no need to send BSS changes to driver from beacons processed
during scanning. We are more interested in beacons from an AP with which
we are associated - these will still be used to send updates to driver as
the beacons are received without scanning.

This change·removes the requirement that bss_info_changed needs to be atomic.
The beacons received during scanning are processed from a tasklet, but if we
do not call bss_info_changed for these beacons there is no need for it to be
atomic. This function (bss_info_changed) is called either from workqueue or
ioctl in all other instances.

3b96766f0e mac80211: fix key vs. sta locking problems
Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to
avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key()
hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA
structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there
cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected
so we cannot do things atomically.

This patch changes key locking completely:
 * key operations are now atomic
 * hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from
   a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed
 * debugfs code is also run from a workqueue
 * keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA
   unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the
   keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is
   run before STA destruction.
 * fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was
   required due to key operations

This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also
makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required
as much.

Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this
is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.

bebb8a5e2c mac80211: make debugfs files root-only
Unfortunately, debugfs can be made to access invalid memory by
open()ing a file and then waiting until the corresponding debugfs
file has been removed (and, probably, the underlying object.)

That could be exploited by any user if the user is able to open
debugfs files and can cause networking devices, STA entries or
similar to disappear which is quite easy to do.

Hence, all debugfs files should be root-only.

41a7be4858 mac80211: notify upper layers after lower
When drivers receive change notification they may do work that
will enable the changes to take effect. For example, if new association
the device needs to be programmed with this information.
Give the driver chance to make the changes before notifying the
upper layer - thus preventing race condition where upper layer
attempts to utilize state that may not be configured yet.

9cfb0009da mac80211: clean up IEEE80211_FC use
Really doesn't need to be defined four times.

Also, while at it, remove a useless macro (IEEE80211_ALIGN32_PAD)
and a function prototype for a function we don't actually have
(ieee80211_set_compression.)

49ec6fa220 mac80211: fix possible sta-debugfs work lockup
Because we queue the sta-debugfs-adding work on our mac80211
workqueue (which needs to be flushed under RTNL) and that work
needs the RTNL, it can currently deadlock, thanks to Reinette
Chatre for pointing out the lockdep warning about this.

This patch fixes it by moving this work to the common kernel
workqueue (using schedule_work) and canceling it as appropriate.

It also fixes a related problem: When a STA is pinned by the
debugfs adding work and sta_info_flush() runs concurrently
it is not guaranteed that all STAs are removed from the driver
before the corresponding interface is removed which may lead
to bugs.
