Johannes Berg 9acc54beb4 mac80211: check PN correctly for GCMP-encrypted fragmented MPDUs
Just like for CCMP we need to check that for GCMP the fragments
have PNs that increment by one; the spec was updated to fix this
security issue and now has the following text:

	The receiver shall discard MSDUs and MMPDUs whose constituent
	MPDU PN values are not incrementing in steps of 1.

Adapt the code for CCMP to work for GCMP as well, luckily the
relevant fields already alias each other so no code duplication
is needed (just check the aliasing with BUILD_BUG_ON.)

This will allow drivers to make more educated

Relying on wake_tx_queue() call count implicitly

Johannes Berg aaa016ccd5 mac80211: rewrite remain-on-channel logic
Jouni found a bug in the remain-on-channel logic: when a short item
is queued, a long item is combined with it extending the original
one, and then the long item is deleted, the timeout doesn't go back
to the short one, and the short item ends up taking a long time. In
this case, this showed as blocking scan when running two test cases
back to back - the scan from the second was delayed even though all
the remain-on-channel items should long have been gone.

Fixing this with the current data structures turns out to be a bit
complicated, we just remove the long item from the dependents list
right now and don't recalculate the timeouts.

There's a somewhat similar bug where we delete the short item and
all the dependents go with it; to fix this we'd have to move them
from the dependents to the real list.

Instead of trying to do that, rewrite the code to not have all this
complexity in the data structures: use a single list and allow more
than one entry in it being marked as started. This makes the code a
bit more complex, the worker needs to understand that it might need
to just remove one of the started items, while keeping the device
off-channel, but that's not more complicated than the nested data
structures.

This then fixes both issues described, and makes it easier to also
limit the overall off-channel time when combining.

TODO: as before, with hardware remain-on-channel, deleting an item
after combining results in cancelling them all - we can keep track
of the time elapsed and only cancel after that to fix this.

The IEEE802.11-2012 specification is vague regarding SMPS operation during
TDLS. It does not define a clear way to transition between SMPS states.

To avoid interop issues, set SMPS to off when TDLS peers are connected.
Accomplish this by extending the definition of the AUTOMATIC state. If the
driver forces a state other than OFF, disconnect all TDLS peers.

While at it, avoid changing the SMPS state of the peer STA. We have no
way to control it, so try and behave correctly towards it.

Define a station chandef, to be used for wider-bw TDLS peers. When both
peers support the feature, upgrade the channel bandwidth to the maximum

When a TDLS peer connects/disconnects recalculate the channel type of the

Make the chanctx width calculation consider wider-bw TDLS peers and
similarly fix the max_required_bw calculation for the chanctx min_def.

Johannes Berg 252ec2b3aa mac80211: don't split remain-on-channel for coalescing
Due to remain-on-channel scheduling delays, when we split an ROC
while coalescing, we'll usually get a picture like this:

existing ROC:  |------------------|
current time:              ^
new ROC:                   |------|              |-------|

If the expected response frames are then transmitted by the peer
in the hole between the two fragments of the new ROC, we miss
them and the process (e.g. ANQP query) fails.

mac80211 expects that the window to miss something is small:

existing ROC:  |------------------|
new ROC:                   |------||-------|

but that's normally not the case.

To avoid this problem, coalesce only if the new ROC's duration
is <= the remaining time on the existing one:

existing ROC:  |------------------|
new ROC:                   |-----|

and never split a new one but schedule it afterwards instead:

Johannes Berg 29464ccc78 cfg80211: move IE split utilities here from mac80211
As the next patch will require the IE splitting utility functions
in cfg80211, move them there from mac80211.

Felix Fietkau ba8c3d6f16 mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation
This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which
they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues
short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs.

The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver -
queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by
calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue
management later without changing drivers using this code.

This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU
aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

Johannes Berg 7bedd0cfad mac80211: use rhashtable for station table
We currently have a hand-rolled table with 256 entries and are
using the last byte of the MAC address as the hash. This hash
is obviously very fast, but collisions are easily created and
we waste a lot of space in the common case of just connecting
as a client to an AP where we just have a single station. The
other common case of an AP is also suboptimal due to the size
of the hash table and the ease of causing collisions.

Convert all of this to use rhashtable with jhash, which gives
us the advantage of a far better hash function (with random
perturbation to avoid hash collision attacks) and of course
that the hash table grows and shrinks dynamically with chain
length, improving both cases above.

Use a specialised hash function (using jhash, but with fixed
length) to achieve better compiler optimisation as suggested
by Sergey Ryazanov.

David S. Miller 7b6249bba9 Lots of updates for net-next; along with the usual flurry
of small fixes, cleanups and internal features we have:
  * VHT support for TDLS and IBSS (conditional on drivers though)
  * first TX performance improvements (the biggest will come later)
  * many suspend/resume (race) fixes
  * name_assign_type support from Tom Gundersen
