    mac80211: simplify station/aggregation code · 2a419056
    Johannes Berg 提交于
    A number of places use RCU locking for accessing
    the station list, even though they do not need
    to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the
    locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is
    also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the
    same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that.
    
    While doing so, combine places where we loop
    over stations twice, and optimise away some of
    the loops by checking if the hardware supports
    aggregation at all first.
    
    Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right
    now we could resume, set up an aggregation session,
    and right after tear it down again due to the code
    that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here.
    Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as
    a workaround.
    
    Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling
    loop when an interface is stopped, directly after
    that we remove all stations from it which will also
    disable all aggregation sessions that may still be
    active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the
    current loop that doesn't block new sessions.
