Use the existing device timestamp from the RX status information to add support for the new radiotap timestamp field. Currently only 32-bit counters are supported, but we also add the radiotap mactime where applicable. This new field allows more flexibility in where the timestamp is taken etc. The non-timestamp data in the field is taken from a new field in the hw struct.

The ability to change the max_rx_aggregation frames is useful in cases of IOP. There exist some devices (latest mobile phones and some AP's) that tend to not respect a BA sessions maximum size (in Kbps). These devices won't respect the AMPDU size that was negotiated during association (even though they do respect the maximal number of packets). This violation is characterized by a valid number of packets in a single AMPDU. Even so, the total size will exceed the size negotiated during association. Eventually, this will cause some undefined behavior, which in turn causes the hw to drop packets, causing the throughput to plummet. This patch will make the subframe limitation to be held by each station, instead of being held only by hw.

The variable is added to allow the driver an easy access to it's own hw->priv when the op is invoked. This fixes a crash in wlcore because it was relying on a station pointer that wasn't initialized yet. It's the wrong way to fix the crash, but it solves the problem for now and it does make sense to have the hw pointer here.

There is no other limit other than a global packet count limit when using software queuing. This means a single flow queue can grow insanely long. This is particularly bad for TCP congestion algorithms which requires a little more sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere headdrop on limit overflow. Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs) CoDel5 on flow queues. This improves TCP convergence and stability when combined with wireless driver which keeps its own tx queue/fifo at a minimum fill level for given link conditions.

Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11 aggregation requirements and hand out packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are destined to the same tid. This does more bad than good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave on an ethernet interface. Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue congestion control whenever a global AC limit was hit. This meant in practice a single station or tid queue could starve others rather easily. This could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could just end up with poor aggregation performance. Increasing the AC limit would increase induced latency which is also bad. Disabling qdiscs by default and performing taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion control on the other hand makes it possible for tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while preventing stations starving each other. This increases aggregation opportunities and should allow software queuing based drivers achieve better performance by utilizing airtime more efficiently with big aggregates.

When using RSS, frames might not be processed in the correct order, and thus AP_LINK_PS must be used; most likely with firmware keeping track of the powersave state, this is the case in iwlwifi now. In this case, the driver can use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to still have mac80211 manage powersave buffering. However, for U-APSD and PS-Poll this isn't sufficient. If the device can't manage that entirely on its own, mac80211's code should be used. To allow this, export two functions: ieee80211_sta_uapsd_trigger() and ieee80211_sta_pspoll().

Some devices, like iwlwifi, have RSS queues. This may cause a situation where a disassociation is handled in control path and results in station removal while there are prior RX frames that were still not processed in other queues. When they will be processed the station will be gone, and the frames will be dropped. Add a synchronization interface to avoid that.

Some drivers/devices might want to set the IVs by themselves (and still let mac80211 generate MMIC). Specifically, this is needed when the device does offloading at certain times, and the driver has to make sure that the IVs of new tx frames (from the host) are synchronized with IVs that were potentially used during the offloading. Similarly to CCMP, move the TX IVs of TKIP keys to the public part of the key struct, and export a function to add the IV right into the crypto header. The public tx_pn field is defined as atomic64, so define TKIP_PN_TO_IV16/32 helper macros to convert it to iv16/32 when needed. Since the iv32 used for the p1k cache is taken directly from the frame, we can safely remove iv16/32 from being protected by tkip.txlock.

If any frames are dropped that are part of a BA session, the reorder buffer will "indefinitely" (until the timeout) wait for them to come in (or a BAR moving the window) and won't release frames after them. This means it isn't possible to filter frames within a BA session in firmware. Introduce an API function that allows such filtering. Calling this function will move the BA window forward to the new SSN, and allows marking frames after the SSN as having been filtered, so any future reordering activity will release frames while skipping the holes.

Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit e6a9854b ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API"). The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of tests.
