When a VHT network uses 20 or 40 MHz as per the HT operation
information, the channel center frequency segment 0 field in
the VHT operation information is reserved, so ignore it.

This fixes association with such networks when the AP puts 0
into the field, previously we'd disconnect due to an invalid
channel with the message
wlan0: AP VHT information is invalid, disable VHT

Only the first packet is currently handled correctly, but then
all others are assumed to have failed which is problematic. Fix
this, marking them all successful instead (since if they're not

Some APs reject STA association request if a listen interval value exceeds
a threshold of 10. Thus, for example, Cisco APs may deny STA associations
returning status code 12 (Association denied due to reason outside the scope
of 802.11 standard) in the association response frame.

Fixing the issue by setting the default IWL_CONN_MAX_LISTEN_INTERVAL value

The MLME code in mac80211 must track whether or not the AP changed
bandwidth, but if there's no change while tracking it shouldn't do
anything, otherwise regulatory updates can make it impossible to
connect to certain APs if the regulatory database doesn't match the
information from the AP. See the precise scenario described in the
code.

This still leaves some possible problems with CSA or if the AP
actually changed bandwidth, but those cases are less common and

Consider the following (relatively unlikely) scenario:
 1) station goes to sleep while frames are buffered in driver
 2) driver blocks wakeup (until no more frames are buffered)
 3) station wakes up again
 4) driver unblocks wakeup

In this case, the current mac80211 code will do the following:
 1) WLAN_STA_PS_STA set
 2) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER set
 3) - nothing -
 4) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER cleared

As a result, no frames will be delivered to the client, even
though it is awake, until it sends another frame to us that
triggers ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() in sta_ps_end().

Since we now take the PS spinlock, we can fix this while at
the same time removing the complexity with the pending skb
queue function. This was broken since my commit 50a9432d
("mac80211: fix powersaving clients races") due to removing
the clearing of WLAN_STA_PS_STA in the RX path.

While at it, fix a cleanup path issue when a station is
removed while the driver is still blocking its wakeup.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

There's a race condition in mac80211 because we add stations
to the internal lists after adding them to the driver, which
means that (for example) the following can happen:
 1. a station connects and is added
 2. first, it is added to the driver
 3. then, it is added to the mac80211 lists

If the station goes to sleep between steps 2 and 3, and the
firmware/hardware records it as being asleep, mac80211 will
never instruct the driver to wake it up again as it never
realized it went to sleep since the RX path discarded the
frame as a "spurious class 3 frame", no station entry was
present yet.

Fix this by adding the station in software first, and only
then adding it to the driver. That way, any state that the
driver changes will be reflected properly in mac80211's
station state. The problematic part is the roll-back if the
driver fails to add the station, in that case a bit more is
needed. To not make that overly complex prevent starting BA
sessions in the meantime.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while
a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes
up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX
path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be
processed while a packet is being transmitted.

This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list
is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on
the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in
the TX path.

As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime
soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the
station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time.

Additionally, it can lead to the crash below.

Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock.
Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations.

In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to
reduce locking overhead.

This patch fixes regression caused by commit a16dad77 "MIPS: Fix
potencial corruption". That commit fixes one corruption scenario in
cost of adding another one, which actually start to cause crashes
on Yeeloong laptop when rtl8187 driver is used.

For correct DMA read operation on machines without DMA coherence, kernel
have to invalidate cache, such it will refill later with new data that
device wrote to memory, when that data is needed to process. We can only
invalidate full cache line. Hence when cache line includes both dma
buffer and some other data (written in cache, but not yet in main
memory), the other data can not hit memory due to invalidation. That
happen on rtl8187 where struct rtl8187_priv fields are located just
before and after small buffers that are passed to USB layer and DMA
is performed on them.

To fix the problem we align buffers and reserve space after them to make
them match cache line.

This patch does not resolve all possible MIPS problems entirely, for
that we have to assure that we always map cache aligned buffers for DMA,
what can be complex or even not possible. But patch fixes visible and
reproducible regression and seems other possible corruptions do not
happen in practice, since Yeeloong laptop works stable without rtl8187
driver.

[  251.154656] PCM: Lost interrupts? [Q]-0 (stream=0, delta=15903, new_hw_ptr=293408, old_hw_ptr=277505)

The exact code flow that causes that is:

1. wpa_supplicant send a start_scan request to the nl80211 driver
2. mac80211 module call rtl_op_config with IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE
3.   rtl_ips_nic_on is called which disable local irqs
4.     rtl92c_phy_set_rf_power_state() is called
5.       rtl_ps_enable_nic() is called and hw_init()is executed and then the interrupts on the device are enabled

A good solution could be to refactor the code to avoid calling rtl92ce_hw_init() with the irqs disabled
but a quick and dirty solution that has proven to work is
to reenable the irqs during the function rtl92ce_hw_init().

I think that it is safe doing so since the device interrupt will only be enabled after the init function succeed.

NICs supported by iwldvm don't handle well TX AMPDU.
Disable it by default, still leave the possibility to
the user to force enable it with a debug parameter.

NICs supported by iwlmvm don't suffer from the same issue,
leave TX AMPDU enabled by default for these.

Improves reliability of wifi connections with WPA, since authentication
frames are prioritized over normal traffic and also typically exempt

Orignal code will not detect a DMA mapping failure, causing the HW
to attempt a DMA from an invalid address.

This patch add the error check and eventually simply drops the TX
packet if we can't map it for DMA.

In original code the old RX DMA buffer is unmapped and processed and at the end
of the isr a new buffer is mapped with pci_map_single and attached to the RX
descriptor.

If pci_map_single fails then the RX descriptor remains with no valid DMA buffer
attached.
In this condition the DMA will target where it shouldn't with obvious evil
consequences.

Simply avoiding re-arming the descriptor will prevent buggy DMA but it will
result soon in RX stuck.

This patch move the DMA mapping of the new buffer at the beginning of the ISR
(and it adds error check for pci_map_single success/fail).

If the DMA mapping fails then we do not unmap the old buffer and we re-arm the
descriptor without processing it, with the old DMA buffer still attached.

In this way we lose the currently RX-ed packet, but whenever next calls to
pci_map_single will succeed again,then the RX process will go on without stuck.
