cfdfa4d3a0 mac80211: Update mesh constants to approved IEEE ANA values
This patch updates IEEE802.11 mesh constants to be consistent with newly
approved values. It modifies some values, as well as adds many new constants
in preparation for updating mesh code to the current 802.11s drafts. ANA
numbers were taken from:
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/09/11-09-0031-12-0000-ana-database-assigned-number-authority.xls

A few notes are in order:
1. This will break backwards compatibility with existing Linux kernels as
over-the-air constants have changed.
2. Some old and obsolete constants have been retained for now as the mesh code
itself hasn't been updated yet to the new 802.11s draft. This was desired to
keep the existing mesh scheme working until it can be updated. Adding the
approved values is the first step in updating the mesh code.
3. Obsolete constants have been clearly marked.
4. All ANA approved 802.11s constants have been added.

098a607091 mac80211: clean up/fix aggregation code
The aggregation code has a number of quirks, like
inventing an unneeded WLAN_BACK_TIMER value and
leaking memory under certain circumstances during
station destruction. Fix these issues by using
the regular aggregation session teardown code and
blocking new aggregation sessions, all before the
station is really destructed.

As a side effect, this gets rid of the long code
block to destroy aggregation safely.

Additionally, rename tid_state_rx which can only
have the values IDLE and OPERATIONAL to
tid_active_rx to make it easier to understand
that there is no bitwise stuff going on on the
RX side -- the TX side remains because it needs
to keep track of the driver and peer states.

d0dd2de0d0 mac80211: Account HT Control field in Data frame hdrlen according to 802.11n-2009
ieee80211_hdrlen() should account account new HT Control field in 802.11
data frame header introduced by IEEE 802.11n standard.

According to 802.11n-2009 HT Control field is present in data frames
when both of following are met:

   1. It is QoS data frame.
   2. Order bit is set in Frame Control field.

The change might be totally compatible with legacy non-11n aware frames,
because 802.11-2007 standard states that "all QoS STAs set this subfield
to 0".

ab13315af9 mac80211: add U-APSD client support
Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The
idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered
frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it
possible to save even more power.

Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current
implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and
hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

Tested with wl1251 on a Nokia N900 and Cisco Aironet 1231G AP and running
various test traffic with ping.

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.

8e664fb3fd mac80211: split up and insert custom IEs correctly
Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT
IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests.
For association, that's correct only if the user-specified
IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including
WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in
two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN),
after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and
after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes,
split the IEs in different places to be correct according
to the spec.

9a418af5df mac80211: fix peer HT capabilities
I noticed yesterday, because Jeff had noticed
a speed regression, cf. bug
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138
that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong.
Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with
the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits.

The bug was part of the original HT code from
over two years ago, but unfortunately nobody
noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't
be overwriting the peer's setting with our own
but rather keep it intact when masking the peer
capabilities with our own.

While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of
capabilities is completely useless for most of
the bits, so also fix those other bits.

Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no
longer exists in the final 802.11n version, so
also remove that.

636a5d3625 nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME
This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request
authentication and association (and also deauthentication and
disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate
authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between
kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE
802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the
SME.

The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,
MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and
association commands request the actual operations in two steps
(assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication
step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect"
command).

The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current
net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management
frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state
machine from moving automatically from authentication to association.
Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.

The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and
association process to user space without having to move the full MLME
implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol
and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will
also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association
requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME
using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.

This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with
over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME
primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

3f2355cb91 cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d support
This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.

To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.

A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.

In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.

CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA
present.

fc6971d491 mac80211_hwsim: Add support for client PS mode
This introduces a debugfs file (ieee80211/phy#/hwsim/ps) that can be
used to force a simulated radio into power save mode. Following values
can be written into this file to change PS mode:
0 = power save disabled (constantly awake)
1 = power save enabled (drop all frames; do not send PS-Poll)
2 = power save enabled (send PS-Poll frames automatically to receive
    buffered unicast frames); not yet fully implemented
3 = manual PS-Poll trigger (send a single PS-Poll frame)

Two different behavior for power save mode processing can be tested:
- move between modes 1 and 0 (i.e., receive all buffered frames at a
  time)
- move to mode 1 and use manual PS-Poll frames (write 3 to the 'ps'
  debugfs file) to fetch power save buffered frames one at a time

Mode 2 (automatic PS-Poll) does not yet parse Beacon frames, but
eventually, it should take a look at TIM IE and send PS-Poll if a
traffic bit is set for our AID.

7211801527 wireless: avoid some net/ieee80211.h vs. linux/ieee80211.h conflicts
There is quite a lot of overlap in definitions between these headers...

d9fe60dea7 802.11: clean up/fix HT support
This patch cleans up a number of things:
 * the unusable definition of the HT capabilities/HT information
   information elements
 * variable names that are hard to understand
 * mac80211: move ieee80211_handle_ht to ht.c and remove the unused
             enable_ht parameter
 * mac80211: fix bug with MCS rate 32 in ieee80211_handle_ht
 * mac80211: fix bug with casting the result of ieee80211_bss_get_ie
             to an information element _contents_ rather than the
             whole element, add size checking (another out-of-bounds
             access bug fixed!)
 * mac80211: remove some unused return values in favour of BUG_ON
             checking
 * a few minor other things

79617deeeb mac80211: mesh portal functionality support
Currently the mesh code doesn't support bridging mesh point interfaces
with wired ethernet or AP to construct an MPP or MAP. This patch adds
code to support the "6 address frame format packet" functionality to
mesh point interfaces. Now the mesh network can be used as backhaul
for end to end communication.

44d414dbff mac80211: move some HT code out of mlme.c
Some of the HT code in mlme.c is misplaced:
 * constants/definitions belong to the ieee80211.h header
 * code being used in other modes as well shouldn't be there
