Before, a mesh STA would execute some code on behalf of AP or IBSS
beacons. Since the mesh stack currently does not consider anything but
other mesh STAs interesting, limit processing to just these and save a

This patch prepares mac80211 for a later implementation of mesh or
ad-hoc powersave clients.
The structures related to powersave (buffer, TIM map, counters) are
moved from the AP-specific interface structure to a generic structure
that can be embedded into any interface type.
The functions related to powersave are prepared to allow easy
extension with different interface types. For example with:

+ } else if (sta->sdata->vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT) {
+         ps = &sdata->u.mesh.ps;

Some references to the AP's beacon structure are removed where they
were obviously not used.

The patch compiles without warning and has been briefly tested as AP
interface with one client in PS mode.

If the user wants to scan using a vif configured as AP,
cfg80211 must give him a chance to do it, even if this
will disrupt the stations performance due to off-channel
scanning. To do so, this patch adds a 'force' flag to the
SCAN_TRIGGER command which tells cfg80211 to perform the
scanning operation even if the vif is an AP and the
beaconing has already started.

Add an NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FLUSH flag that causes old bss cache
entries to be flushed on scan completion. This is useful for
collecting guaranteed fresh scan/survey result (e.g. on resume).

For normal scan, flushing only happens on successful completion

For scheduled scan, previous scan results are flushed everytime
when we get new scan results.

This feature is enabled by default. Drivers can disable it by

Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

On each channel that the device is operating on, it
may need to listen using one or more chains depending
on the SMPS settings of the interfaces using it. The
previous channel context changes completely removed
this ability (before, it was available as the SMPS
mode).

Add per-context tracking of the required static and
dynamic RX chains and notify the driver on changes.
To achieve this, track the chains and SMPS mode used
on each virtual interface and update the channel
context whenever this changes.
Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Instead of operating on a single channel only,
use the new channel context infrastructure in
all mac80211 code.

This enables drivers that want to use the new
channel context infrastructure to use multiple
channels, while nothing should change for all
the other drivers that don't support it.

Right now this disables both TX power settings
and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need
to be re-enabled on a channel context basis.

Additionally, when channel contexts are used
drop the connection when channel switch is
received rather than trying to handle it. This
will have to be improved later.
