Currently, detection in hwsim and ath9k can
detect that two sw scans are in flight at the
same time, which isn't really true. It is
caused by a race condition, because the scan
complete callback is called too late, after
the lock has been dropped, so that a new scan
can be started before it is called.

It is also called too early semantically, as
it is currently called _after_ the return to
the operating channel -- it should be before
so that drivers know this is the operating
channel again.

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, we must use a
separate counter for tracking received CCMP packet number for the
management frames. The previously used NUM_RX_DATA_QUEUESth queue was
shared with data frames when QoS was not used and that can cause
problems in detecting replays incorrectly for robust management frames.
Add a new counter just for robust management frames to avoid this issue.

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used,
Deauthentication frame needs to be protected when the pairwise key is
configured. mac80211 was removing the station entry (and its keys)
before actually sending out the Deauthentication frame. Fix this by
reordering the code to send the frame before the station entry gets
removed. This matches an earlier change that handled the Disassociation
frame processing, but missed Deauthentication frames.

The ps-qos latency handling is broken. It uses predetermined latency values
to select specific dynamic PS timeouts. With common AP configurations, these
values overlap with beacon interval and are therefore essentially useless
(for network latencies less than the beacon interval, PSM is disabled.)

This patch remedies the problem by replacing the predetermined network latency
values with one high value (1900ms) which is used to go trigger full psm. For
backwards compatibility, the value 2000ms is still mapped to a dynamic ps
timeout of 100ms.

Currently also the mac80211 internal value for storing user space configured
dynamic PSM values is incorrectly in the driver visible ieee80211_conf struct.
Move it to the ieee80211_local struct.

The locking in this case is quite complex. Fix the problem by rewriting the
way the hardware ARP filter list is handled - i.e. make a copy of the address
list to the bss_conf struct, and provide that list to the hardware driver
when needed.

The current patch will enable filtering also in promiscuous mode. This may need
to be changed in the future.

Currently, driver tracing is sometimes invoked
after and sometimes before the actual driver
callback. This is fine as long as the driver
has no tracing itself, but as soon as it does
it gets confusing.

To make traces containing such information
easier to read, introduce a return tracer in
mac80211 that essentially brackets any driver
tracing, and invoke the real trace before the
driver's callback, only showing the return
value, if any, afterwards.

A number of places use RCU locking for accessing

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

Processing an association response could take a bit
of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that
time, the AP might already send a blockack request.
If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine,
we can end up processing the blockack request before
the association processing has finished. Since the
blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also
cannot make it wait in the driver.

As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn
driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass
when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc
setup completed.

I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves
queuing all blockack category action frames from a
work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver
callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the
code and make things easier.

However, this is a very involved and complex change.
To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be
backported to stable, I've come up with this patch.
Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames
from the managed interface skb queue, which means
their processing will be serialized with processing
the association response, thereby fixing the problem.
