ea2d06395b libertas: fix GSPI card event handling
The GPSI interface driver does not re-enable the Card Event Interrupt, which
causes problems after a card event (for example: link-loss) comes in.  This
can lead, for example, to the card failing to re-associate.  This patch
ensures that we re-enable the Card Event Interrupt when we handle card events.

4ef699fb77 mac80211: fix probe response wait timing
In "mac80211: split out and decrease probe wait time" I tried
to reduce the time waiting for a probe response, but failed to
take into account the case where we are detecting beacon loss
in software -- in that case we still wait the monitoring time
rather than the probe wait time. Fix this by refactoring the
mod_timer() calls in ieee80211_associated().

8705782582 wext: remove atomic requirement for wireless stats
The requirement for wireless stats to be atomic is now mostly
artificial since we hold the rtnl _and_ the dev_base_lock for
iterating the device list. Doing that is not required, just the
rtnl is sufficient (and the rtnl is required for other reasons
outlined in commit "wext: fix get_wireless_stats locking").

This will fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13344
and make things easier for drivers.

9cef873798 mac80211: fix managed mode BSSID handling
Currently, we will ask the driver to configure right away
when somebody changes the desired BSSID. That's totally
strange because then we will configure the driver without
even knowing whether the BSS exists. Change this to only
configure the BSSID when associated, and configure a zero
BSSID when not associated.

As a side effect, this fixes an issue with the iwlwifi
driver which doesn't implement sta_notify properly and
uses the BSSID instead and gets very confused if the
BSSID is cleared before we disassociate, which results
in the warning Marcel posted [1] and iwlwifi bug 1995 [2].

175427ce40 mac80211: don't try to do anything on unchanged genIE
When the genIE hasn't changed there's no reason to kick
the state machine since it won't be able to do anything
new -- doing this decreases the useless work we do for
reassociating because if we do kick the state machine
it will try to find a usable BSS but there might not be
one because wpa_supplicant will only change the BSSID
a little later.

In a sense this is a workaround for userspace behaviour,
but on the other hand userspace cannot really keep track
of what the kernel currently has for genIE since any
process could have changed that while wpa_supplicant
wasn't looking.

30196673fe mac80211: PS processing for every Beacon with our AID in TIM
If the AP includes our AID in the TIM IE, we need to process the
Beacon frame as far as PS is concerned (send PS-Poll or nullfunc data
with PM=0). The previous code skipped this in cases where the CRC
value did not change and it would not change if the AP continues
including our AID in the TIM..

There is no need to count the crc32 value for directed_tim with this
change, so we can remove that part. In order not to change the order
of operations (i.e., update WMM parameters prior to sending PS-Poll),
the CRC match is checked twice as only after the PS processing step,
the rest of the function is skipped if nothing changed in the Beacon.

dc8c4585d2 ath9k: Set PM field in frame control when in PS mode
mac80211 does not set PM field for normal data frames, so we need to
update that based on the current PS mode when using PS-Poll
(timeout=0) power save mode.

This allows the AP to remain in sync with our PS state. However, there
is still a potential race condition between PS state changes when
multiple TX queues are used and nullfunc and PS-Poll frames use
different queue. That corner case may need to be handled separately by
changing which queue is used either in ath9k or mac80211.

If we are trying to interpolate a curve with slope == 0, the return
value will always be the y-coordinate.  In this code we are looping
until we reach a minimum y-coordinate on a line, which in the 0-slope
case can never happen, thus the loop never terminates.

The PCDAC steps come from the EEPROM and should never be equal, but
we should gracefully handle that case, so warn and bail out.

e3da574a0d cfg80211: allow wext to remove keys that don't exist
Some applications using wireless extensions expect to be able to
remove a key that doesn't exist. One example is wpa_supplicant
which doesn't actually change behaviour when running into an
error while trying to do that, but it prints an error message
which users interpret as wpa_supplicant having problems.

The safe thing to do is not change the behaviour of wireless
extensions any more, so when the driver reports -ENOENT let
the wext bridge code return success to userspace. To guarantee
this, also document that drivers should return -ENOENT when the
key doesn't exist.

ff561ac84e p54spi: use firmware/DMA bug workaround that work under hight load in p54spi_rx
Under high load first data word, read after available data size
is sometimes lost in p54spi_rx. It seems to depend on frequency
of interrupts and latency of data read request relatively to
'data available' interrupt. The worst consequence of this bug
is loss of packet transmission acknowledgement, which in turn
causes overflow of tx queues and permanent link loss.

Read data size and first data word in one SPI transaction.
No packets from LMAC should have length less than 1 word,
so this shouldn't interfere with the next read transaction.

5bb644a0fd mac80211: cancel/restart all timers across suspend/resume
We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending.
In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can
cause hardware reconfiguration -- while it is down.

While at it we go ahead and add a warning in ieee80211_sta_work()
if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This
should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is
a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers.

With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend
and resume where as before there where issues with some timers
running during the suspend->resume cycle. This caused a lot of
incorrect assumptions and would at times bring back the device
in an incoherent, but mostly recoverable, state.

cc32abd494 mac80211: move channel switch code
The channel switch code is currently in the spectrum
management file, where arguably it belongs. However,
it is for managed mode only and uses the structures
for that mode only so having it in a more generic
file can be confusing. Additionally, my next patch
gets simpler with the code here.

When/if we ever implement this for IBSS or mesh then
we will need to rework the structures it uses anyway
at which point we could move the code back.

cc65965cbb ath9k: Fix PS mode operation to receive buffered broadcast/multicast frames
The previous implementation was moving back to NETWORK SLEEP state
immediately after receiving a Beacon frame. This means that we are
unlikely to receive all the buffered broadcast/multicast frames that
would be sent after DTIM Beacon frames. Fix this by parsing the Beacon
frame and remaining awake, if needed, to receive the buffered
broadcast/multicast frames. The last buffered frame will trigger the
move back into NETWORK SLEEP state.

If the last broadcast/multicast frame is not received properly (or if
the AP fails to send it), the next Beacon frame will work as a backup
trigger for returning into NETWORK SLEEP.

A new debug type, PS (debug=0x800 module parameter), is added to make
it easier to debug potential power save issues in the
future. Currently, this is only used for the Beacon frame and buffered
broadcast/multicast receiving.
