Thomas Pedersen 4bd4c2dd8e mac80211: clean up mpath_move_to_queue()
Use skb_queue_walk_safe instead, and fix a few issues:

	- didn't free old skbs on moving
	- didn't react to failed skb alloc
	- needlessly held a local pointer to the destination frame queue
	- didn't check destination queue length before adding skb

Johannes Berg bdcbd8e0e3 mac80211: clean up debugging
There are a few things that make the logging and
debugging in mac80211 less useful than it should
be right now:
 * a lot of messages should be pr_info, not pr_debug
 * wholesale use of pr_debug makes it require *both*
   Kconfig and dynamic configuration
 * there are still a lot of ifdefs
 * the style is very inconsistent, sometimes the
   sdata->name is printed in front

Clean up everything, introducing new macros and
separating out the station MLME debugging into
a new Kconfig symbol.

Chun-Yeow Yeoh 7ebfa46973 mac80211: fix and improve mesh RANN processing
This patch fixes the problem of dropping RANN element if the TTL
is 1. If the received RANN element TTL is 1 or greater than 1, the
RANN is processed. However, forwarding of received RANN element
with TTL 1 or less is prohibited according to the standard. This
is previously reported by Monthadar Al Jaberi.

Besides, this patch also avoid the processing of unicast PREQ
generation if the RANN element does not meet the acceptance
criteria mentioned in Sec. 13.10.12.4.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012.

Chun-Yeow Yeoh 728b19e5fb {nl,cfg,mac}80211: implement dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationInterval
As defined in section 13.10.9.3 Case D (802.11-2012), this
control variable is used to limit the mesh STA to send only
one PREQ to a root mesh STA within this interval of time
(in TUs). The default value for this variable is set to
2000 TUs. However, for current implementation, the maximum
configurable of dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationInterval is
restricted by dot11MeshHWMPactivePathTimeout.

Generate the proactive PREQ element as defined in
Sec. 13.10.9.3 (Case C) of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012
based on the selection of dot11MeshHWMPRootMode as follow:
dot11MeshHWMPRootMode (2) is proactivePREQnoPREP
dot11MeshHWMPRootMode (3) is proactivePREQwithPREP

The proactive PREQ is generated based on the interval
defined by dot11MeshHWMProotInterval.

With this change, proactive RANN element is now generated
if the dot11MeshHWMPRootMode is set to (4) instead of (1).

[1] The interval in propagated RANN should be based on the interval of received RANN.
[2] The aggregated path metric for propagated RANN is as received plus own link metric
    towards the transmitting mesh STA (not root mesh STA).
[3] The comparison of path metric for RANN with same sequence number should be done

Don't accept redundant PREQs for a given destination. This fixes a

kernel: [20386.253352] Mesh HWMP (mesh0): PREQ node queue full
(...)

The 802.11s protocol has a provision to limit the rate of path requests
(PREQs) are transmitted (dot11MeshHWMPpreqMinInterval) but there was no
limit on the rate at which PREQs were being queued up.  There is a valid
reason for queuing PREQs: this way we can even out PREQ bursts.  But
queueing multiple PREQs for the same destination is useless.

actually changes is removing the RCU usage of
key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't
actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has
a single assignment done before the key even
goes live). As that is otherwise harmless, I
decided to make it part of this patch.

Johannes Berg dea4096bc4 mac80211: remove pointless mesh path timer RCU code
The code here to RCU-dereference a pointer that's
on the stack is totally pointless, RCU isn't magic
(like say Java's weak references are), so the code
can't work like whoever wrote it thought it might.

Remove it so readers don't get confused. Note that
it seems that a bug is there anyway: I don't see
any code that cancels the timer when a mesh path
struct is destroyed.

Javier Cardona 45904f2165 nl80211/mac80211: define and allow configuring mesh element TTL
The TTL in path selection information elements is different from
the mesh ttl used in mesh data frames.  Version 7.03 of the 11s
draft calls this ttl 'Element TTL'.

Johannes Berg 64592c8fc0 mac80211: use common work struct
IBSS, managed and mesh modes all have their
own work struct, and in the future we want
to also use it in other modes to process
frames from the now common skb queue.

This also makes the skb queue and work safe
to use from other interface types.
