6b62bf3263 mac80211: fix mesh airtime link metric estimating
Airtime link metric estimation was broken in HT mesh, use
cfg80211_calculate_bitrate to get the right rate value.

Also factor out tx rate copying from sta_set_sinfo().

5533513784 {nl,cfg,mac}80211: Implement RSSI threshold for mesh peering
Mesh peer links are established only if average rssi of the peer
candidate satisfies the threshold. This is not in 802.11s specification
but was requested by David Fulgham, an open80211s user. This is a way to avoid
marginal peer links with stations that are barely within range.

This patch adds a new mesh configuration parameter, mesh_rssi_threshold. This
feature is supported only for hardwares that report signal in dBm.

8860020e0b cfg80211: restructure AP/GO mode API
The AP/GO mode API isn't very clearly defined, it
has "set beacon" and "new beacon" etc.

Modify the API to the following:
 * start AP -- all settings
 * change beacon -- new beacon data
 * stop AP -- stop AP mode operation

This also reflects in the nl80211 API, rename
the commands there correspondingly (but keep
the old names for compatibility.)

Overall, this makes it much clearer what's going
on in the API.

Kalle developed the ath6kl changes, I created
the rest of the patch.

66e67e4189 mac80211: redesign auth/assoc
This is the second part of the auth/assoc redesign,
the mac80211 part. This moves the auth/assoc code
out of the work abstraction and into the MLME, so
that we don't flip channels all the time etc.

The only downside is that when we are associated,
we need to drop the association in order to create
a connection to another AP, but for most drivers
this is actually desirable and the ability to do
was never used by any applications. If we want to
implement resource reservation with FT-OTA, we'd
probably best do it with explicit R-O-C in wpa_s.

83d5cc0124 mac80211: station state transition error handling
In the future, when we start notifying drivers,
state transitions could potentially fail. To make
it easier to distinguish between programming bugs
and driver failures:
 * rename sta_info_move_state() to
   sta_info_pre_move_state() which can only be
   called before the station is inserted (and
   check this with a new station flag).
 * rename sta_info_move_state_checked() to just
   plain sta_info_move_state(), as it will be
   the regular function that can fail for more
   than just one reason (bad transition or an
   error from the driver)

This makes the programming model easier -- one of
the functions can only be called before insertion
and can't fail, the other can fail.

543d1b92d5 mac80211: fix no-op authorized transitions
When userspace attempts to authorize a station
that is already authorized, nothing happens as
you'd expect. Similarly, when it unauthorizes
a station that is associated, nothing happens.

However, when it unauthorizes a station that
isn't even associated yet, we erroneously try
to move the station to associated. This seems
to happen occasionally as a result of a race
when wpa_supplicant attempts to unauthorize
the port in managed mode. Particularly with my
new patches to keep stations, it can then move
a station into ASSOCIATED state before we have
really associated, which is really confusing.

I introduced this bug in
"mac80211: refactor station state transitions"

d9a7ddb05e mac80211: refactor station state transitions
Station entries can have various states, the most
important ones being auth, assoc and authorized.
This patch prepares us for telling the driver about
these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with
strange transitions, so with this we enforce that
they move in the right order between them (back and
forth); some transitions might happen before the
driver even knows about the station, but at least
runtime transitions will be ordered correctly.

As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now
have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to
AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case
in TX processing.

When freeing a station, unwind the state so that
other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely
on the transitions.

e9f935e3e8 nl80211/cfg80211: Add support to disable CCK rate for management frame
Add a new nl80211 attribute to specify whether to send the management
frames in CCK rate or not. As of now the wpa_supplicant is disabling
CCK rate at P2P init itself. So this patch helps to send P2P probe
request/probe response/action frames being sent at non CCK rate in 2GHz
without disabling 11b rates.

This attribute is used with NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN and
NL80211_CMD_FRAME commands to disable CCK rate for management frame
transmission.

ece1a2e7e8 mac80211: Remove mesh paths when an interface is removed
When an interface is removed, the mesh paths associated with it should
also be removed.

This fixes a bug we observed when reloading a device driver module
without reloading mac80211s.
