Stanislaw Gruszka db17834043 ath5k: do not reschedule tx_complete_work on stop
This patch claim to fix "WARNING: at net/mac80211/util.c:599
ieee80211_can_queue_work.isra.7+0x30/0x40", which was reported at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922295

We use ATH_STAT_STARTED flag to disallow to perform
ath5k_tx_complete_poll_work() code, hence reschedule
ah->tx_complete_work, when we stop device. This flag was defined in
ath5k code, but it was not used.

I didn't get feedback if the fix works, so patch is compile only tested.

Felix Fietkau 4ef69d0394 ath9k: fix key allocation error handling for powersave keys
If no keycache slots are available, ath_key_config can return -ENOSPC.
If the key index is not checked for errors, it can lead to logspam that
looks like this: "ath: wiphy0: keyreset: keycache entry 228 out of range"
This can cause follow-up errors if the invalid keycache index gets
used for tx.

Sujith Manoharan 07236bf3c6 ath9k: Use lockless variants for the RX fifo queue
The RX fifo can be accessed from the common tasklet or it can
be reaped/cleaned when RX is stopped, which is done when doing
a reset or channel change - this happens in process context.

Since it is ensured that there are no pending tasklets when
stopping RX and cleaning the FIFO, there is no need to use
SKB queue functions which take internal locks.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

Felix Fietkau ab11bb28fb ath9k: always set common->macaddr to the MAC adress of a virtual interface
In some cases it can be useful to change the MAC address of a virtual
interface to something that's completely different from the EEPROM
stored MAC address. In this case it is a bad idea to use the EEPROM MAC
address for calculating the BSSID mask, as that would make it too wide.

In one case a few devices have been observed to send ACKs for many
packets on the channel not directed at them, which results in a neat
Denial of Service attack on the channel.

If AR_CRCErr, AR_PHYErr, AR_DecryptCRCErr or AR_MichaelErr is indicated
in the rx status word, but AR_RxFrameOK is also set, the descriptor
contents are typically invalid. This can show up as a warning about
invalid MCS rates in a frame. Even with those checks in place, a
descriptor with invalid MCS rates can still sometimes make it through to
the driver (mostly on older hardware like AR91xx).

Detect such errors in the last descriptor of a frame and discard the
whole frame if present.

Felix Fietkau 723e711356 ath9k: fix handling of broken descriptors
As the comment in ath_get_next_rx_buf indicates, if a descriptor with
the done bit set follows one with the done bit cleared, both descriptors
should be discarded, however the driver is not doing that yet.

To fix this, use the rs->rs_more flag as an indicator that the following
frame should be discarded. This also helps with the split buffer case:
if the first part of the frame is discarded, the following parts need to
be discarded as well, since they contain no valid header or usable data.

Felix Fietkau 319e7bd96a ath9k_htc: accept 1.x firmware newer than 1.3
Since the firmware has been open sourced, the minor version has been
bumped to 1.4 and the API/ABI will stay compatible across further 1.x
releases.

Robert Shade f50b1cd374 ath9k: Re-enable interrupts after a channel change failure
ath_complete_reset will not be called if ath9k_hw_reset
is unsuccessful, so we need to re-enable intertupts to
balence the previous ath_prepare_reset call.  Also schedule a
reset as a best effort method to recover the chip from
whatever state caused the channel change failure.

Christian Lamparter 56771e5054 carl9170: remove fast channel change feature
Marco Fonseca reported a issue with his carl9170 device:
"I'm seeing a problem with the carl driver. If I change channels
repeatedly on the 2.4ghz band, monitoring (e.g. tcpdump) will
eventually halt.  I've seen this on various versions of the carl
driver/firmware (both from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7)"
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136381302428113>

The culprit was identified as "fast channel change feature" which
according to Adrian Chadd is: "... notoriously unreliable and
really only fully debugged on some very later chips."
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136416984531380>

Therefore, this patch removes the fast channel change feature.
The phy will now always have to go through a cold reset when
changing channels, but it should no longer become deaf.

Zefir Kurtisi 55f39e6739 ath9k: trivial: change spectral relayfs buffering
The spectral data provided via relay-fs introduces a buffering
latency given by the subbuf_size. To meet the requirements for
delay-sensitive applications (like real-time spectral plotter),
reduce subbuf_size and increase n_subbufs.

Fix this by avoiding to queue the work if our device has
already been marked as suspended or stopped.
