When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until
the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme
condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but
even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming
because the low level driver is trying to send packets to
an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and
let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up
the roaming.
For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

If there are no interfaces up, there is no reason

If there are no channels allowing 80 MHz to be used, then the
station isn't really VHT capable even if the driver and device
support it in general. In this case, exclude the VHT capability

When the RIC data element (RDE) is included in the IEs coming
from userspace for an association request, its handling is
currently broken as any IEs that are contained within it would
be split off from it and inserted again after all the IEs that
mac80211 generates (e.g. HT, VHT.)
To fix this, treat the RIC element specially, and stop after
it only when we find something that doesn't actually belong to
it. This assumes userspace is actually correctly building it,
directly after the fast BSS transition IE and before all the
others like extended capabilities.
This leaves as a potential problem the case where userspace is
building the following IEs:
[RDE] [vendor resource description] [vendor non-resource IE]
In this case, we'd erroneously consider all three IEs to be
part of the RIC data together, and not split them between the
two vendor IEs. Unfortunately, it isn't easily possible to
distinguish vendor IEs, so this isn't easy to fix. Luckily,
this case is rare as normally wpa_supplicant will include an
extended capabilities IE in the IEs, and that certainly will
break the two vendor IEs apart correctly.

This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode
support.
When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID
(48 '1' bits) is used.
The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support
802.11p specific values.
The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way
as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion.
The OCB mode uses a periodic 'housekeeping task' for expiration of
disconnected STAs (in the similar manner as in the MESH mode).
New Kconfig option for verbose OCB debugging outputs is added.

This patch adds new iface type (NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB) representing
the OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode.
When establishing a connection to the network a cfg80211_join_ocb
function is called (particular nl80211_command is added as well).
A mandatory parameters during the ocb_join operation are 'center
frequency' and 'channel width (5/10 MHz)'.
Changes done in mac80211 are minimal possible required to avoid
many warnings (warning: enumeration value 'NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB'
not handled in switch) during compilation. Full functionality
(where needed) is added in the following patch.

Linux already supports 802.11h, where the access point can tell the
client to reduce its transmission power. However, 802.11h is only
defined for 5 GHz, where the need for this is much smaller than on
2.4 GHz.
Cisco has their own solution, called DTPC (Dynamic Transmit Power
Control). Cisco APs on a controller sometimes but not always send
802.11h; they always send DTPC, even on 2.4 GHz. This patch adds support
for parsing and honoring the DTPC IE in addition to the 802.11h
element (they do not always contain the same limits, so both must
be honored); the format is not documented, but very simple.
Tested (on top of wireless.git and on 3.16.1) against a Cisco Aironet
1142 joined to a Cisco 2504 WLC, by setting various transmit power
levels for the given access points and observing the results.
The Wireshark 802.11 dissector agrees with the interpretation of the
element, except for negative numbers, which seem to never happen
anyway.

In some cases we may want to stop the queues of a single vif (for
instance during a channel-switch). Add a function that stops all the
queues that are assigned to a vif. If a queue is assigned to more
than one vif, the corresponding netdev subqueue of the other vif(s)
will also be stopped. If the HW doesn't set the

Sometimes different vifs may be stopping the queues for the same
reason (e.g. when several interfaces are performing a channel switch).
Instead of using a bitmask for the reasons, use an integer that holds
a refcount instead. In order to keep it backwards compatible,
introduce a boolean in some functions that tell us whether the queue
stopping should be refcounted or not. For now, use not refcounted for
all calls to keep it functionally the same as before.

When the driver fails during HW restart or resume, the whole
stack goes into a very confused state with interfaces being
up while the hardware is down etc.
Address this by shutting down everything; we'll run into a

Consider the following (relatively unlikely) scenario:
1) station goes to sleep while frames are buffered in driver
2) driver blocks wakeup (until no more frames are buffered)
3) station wakes up again
4) driver unblocks wakeup
In this case, the current mac80211 code will do the following:
1) WLAN_STA_PS_STA set
2) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER set
3) - nothing -
4) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER cleared
As a result, no frames will be delivered to the client, even
though it is awake, until it sends another frame to us that
triggers ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() in sta_ps_end().
Since we now take the PS spinlock, we can fix this while at
the same time removing the complexity with the pending skb
queue function. This was broken since my commit 50a9432daeec
("mac80211: fix powersaving clients races") due to removing
the clearing of WLAN_STA_PS_STA in the RX path.
While at it, fix a cleanup path issue when a station is
removed while the driver is still blocking its wakeup.

The scan code creates an iflist_mtx -> mtx locking dependency,
and a few other places, notably radar detection, were creating
the opposite dependency, causing lockdep to complain. As scan
and radar detection are mutually exclusive, the deadlock can't
really happen in practice, but it's still bad form.
A similar issue exists in the monitor mode code, but this is
only used by channel-context drivers right now and those have
to have hardware scan, so that also can't happen.
Still, fix these issues by making some of the channel context
code require the mtx to be held rather than acquiring it, thus
allowing the monitor/radar callers to keep the iflist_mtx->mtx
lock ordering.
While at it, also fix access to the local->scanning variable
in the radar code, and document that radar_detect_enabled is
now properly protected by the mtx.
All this would now introduce an ABBA deadlock between the DFS
work cancelling and local->mtx, so change the locking there a
bit to not need to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() but be able
to just use cancel_delayed_work(). The work is also safely
stopped/removed when the interface is stopped, so no extra
changes are needed.
