The CAB (Content after Beacon) queue is used for beacon-triggered
transmission of buffered multicast frames. If lots of multicast frames
were buffered and this queue fills up, it drowns out all regular
traffic. To limit the damage that buffered traffic can do, try to limit
the queued data to becaon_interval / 8.

Waiting for all subframes of an existing aggregation session to drain
before allowing mac80211 to start a new one is fragile and deadlocks
caused by this behavior have been observed.

Since mac80211 has proper synchronization for aggregation session
start/stop handling, a better approach to session handling is to simply
allow mac80211 to start a new session at any time. This requires
changing the code to discard any packets outside of the BlockAck window
in the A-MPDU software retry code.

This patch implements the above and also simplifies the code.

After a tx attempt, an A-MPDU subframe can still have fi->retries at 0
(if the retry count wasn't incremented due to powersave).
In that case it is still tracked as part of the block ack window, so
when draining the tid queue, its sequence number needs to be cleared
from the pending frame bitmap.

The ath9k xmit functions for AMPDUs can send frames as non-aggregate in case
only one frame is currently available. The client will then answer using a
normal Ack instead of a BlockAck. This acknowledgement has no TID stored and
therefore the hardware is not able to provide us the corresponding TID.

The TID set by the hardware in the tx status descriptor has to be seen as
undefined and not as a valid TID value for normal acknowledgements. Doing
otherwise results in a massive amount of retransmissions and stalls of
connections.

Users may experience low bandwidth and complete connection stalls in
environments with transfers using multiple TIDs.

This regression was introduced in b11b160d
("ath9k: validate the TID in the tx status information").

bf->bf_next is only while buffers are chained as part of an A-MPDU
in the tx queue. When a tid queue is flushed (e.g. on tearing down
an aggregation session), frames can be enqueued again as normal
transmission, without bf_next being cleared. This can lead to the
old pointer being dereferenced again later.

This patch might fix crashes and "Failed to stop TX DMA!" messages.

The TX filter bit for a station would be set by the HW
when a frame is not acked. A frame would be completed with
ATH9K_TXERR_FILT status only when the corresponding filter bit
for the destination station is already set.

Currently, un-acknowledged  packets are added to the pending queue
and retried, but the "clear_dest_mask" bit in the descriptor is
set only when the TX status has been ATH9K_TXERR_FILT. This results
in packet loss and the log shows:

wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746071
wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746076
wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746377
...
...

This issue can be resolved by making sure that the destination
mask is cleared when the packet is being retried and the earlier
TX status is ATH9K_TXERR_XRETRY.

mac80211 adds stations in HT IBSS as soon as a frame comes by,
even if the HT capabilities are not known yet (they are often

This patch changes this to update ampdu factor/density settings
