This patch simplifies the tx code a bit and will be necessary for
the upcoming stlc45xx<->p54 port.

In detail: we no longer have to tell all back-end drivers directly,
if we want to free a frame right after it was send to the firmware,
or if we do it in the library callback later.

This patch moves a good chunk of code from the former statistic update
timer routine into a workqueue, which is kindly provided by mac80211.

Also as a nice side-effect we can lay the foundation for other

e.g:
 - drain the (clogged) tx_queue.

    Rate scaling in agn can be broken because of these two problems
    1- the LQ command could not sent, we try to call LQ command before
       post association will be rejected, this will cause the driver to

|     netdevice zd1201: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev_priv()
|
|     We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
|     1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
|     2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
|        netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
|     But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
|     directly.
|
|     OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
|     and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
|     reference of netdev->priv first.
|
|     (Original patch posted by Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> w/ above
|     changelog but using dev->ml_priv.  That doesn't seem appropriate
|     to me for this driver, so I've revamped it to use netdev_priv()
|     instead. -- JWL)

This commit changed the allocation of netdev, but didn't change
the free method of it.
This causes "zd" be used after the memory, which is pointed by "zd", being
freed by free_netdev().

The 802.11 header is only padded to 32-bit boundary when the frame has
a non-zero length payload. In other words, control frames (e.g., ACK)
do not have a padding and we should not try to remove it. This fixes
monitor mode for short control frames. In addition, the hdrlen&3 use
is described in more detail to make it easier to understand how the

AP mode operations are seriously affected if mac80211 runs through a
multi-second scan while the AP is trying to send Beacon frames on the
operation channel. While this could be implemented in a way that does
not cause too many problems, it is not very simple and will require
synchronization with Beacon frame scheduling in the drivers (scan one
channel at a time between Beacon frames). Furthermore, such scanning
takes quite a bit longer time and existing userspace applications
would be likely to timeout while waiting for the results.

For now, just refuse requests for new scans (SIOCSIWSCAN) when in AP
mode. In practice, this moves the rejection from iwl* drivers into
mac80211 to make it apply to every mac80211-based driver.

This issue shows up in associated stations getting disconnected when
something (e.g., Network Manager) requests a scan while the interface
is in AP mode. When doing this continuously (e.g., NM does it every 120
seconds), the network gets close to useless.

This patch fixes sporadic firmware restarts when scanning while associated.

The firmware will quietly cancel a scan (while associated) if the dwell time
for a channel to be scanned is larger than the time it may stay away from the
operating channel (because of DTIM catching). Unfortunately the driver is not
notified about the canceled scan and therefore the scan watchdog timeout will
be hit and the driver causes a firmware restart which results in
disassociation. This mainly happens on passive channels which use a dwell time
of 120 whereas a typical beacon interval is around 100.

The patch changes the dwell time for passive channels to be slightly smaller
than the actual beacon interval to work around the firmware issue. Furthermore
the number of allowed beacon misses is increased from one to three as otherwise
most scans (while associated) won't complete successfully.

However scanning while associated will still fail in corner cases such as a
beacon intervals below 30.

When SLUB debugging is enabled in the kernel, and the boot command includes

has been modified to use the usb_anchor_urb() method. With this change, the

"usb_kill_urb() and similar routines do not expect an URB's completion

ath_tx_complete_buf uses a BH version of spinlock and so releasing
the lock enables BH which is incorrect when called from sta_notify
callback as MAC80211 disables hardirqs before the driver callback
is called.

As ath_tx_complete_buf is shared between user and softirq context
using normal spinlock may not be appropriate. Though the proper
fix would be to cleanup the context properly in the driver code,
this would be an interim fix to avoid kernel warning.
