When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
for 5000 series and up.

Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
initially attempted to address this:

    iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000

    Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
    protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
    Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
    especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
    TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.

For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self
protection.

    iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly

broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that
the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_,
which the new code no longer did, and normally it
_never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually,
the code prior to my patch there would have been
broken already.

The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask
the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the
new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it
since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending
on the default filter in the device, which isn't
necessarily what we want (since we don't program it
right now).

Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have
allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.

There are few places where ANI is started without checking
if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani
timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess
during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with
paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a
chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking
if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled
even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic.

This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani
needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset().
This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen
with ar9003 + paprd.

ath5k assumes ah_current_channel is always a valid pointer in
several places, but a newly created interface may not have a

The flow id (scd_flow) in a compressed BA packet should match the txq_id
of the queue from which the aggregated packets were sent. However, in
some hardware like the 1000 series, sometimes the flow id is 0 for the
txq_id (10 to 19). This can cause the annoying message:
[ 2213.306191] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Received BA when not expected
[ 2213.310178] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Read index for DMA queue txq id (0),
index 5, is out of range [0-256] 7 7.

And even worse, if agg->wait_for_ba is true when the bad BA is arriving,
this can cause system hang due to NULL pointer dereference because the
code is operating in a wrong tx queue!

We are seeing some race conditions between incoming station management
requests (station add/remove) and the internal unassoc RXON command that
modifies station table. Modify these flows to require the mutex to be held
and thus serializing them.

When we receive a deauthentication frame before
having successfully associated, we neither print
a message nor abort assocation. The former makes
it hard to debug, while the latter later causes
a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be
the case, association timed out.

This warning was reported by many, e.g. in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981,
but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified
the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame
instead of an association response.

Move the sysfs_create_group to iwl_ucode_callback after we
have safely got the firmware.

The motivation to do this comes from a warning from lockdep which detected
that we request priv->mutex while holding s_active during a sysfs request
(show_statistics in the example copy pasted). The reverse order exists upon
request_firmware: request_firmware which is a sysfs operation
that requires s_active is run under priv->mutex.

This ensures that we don't get sysfs request before we finish to request
the firmware, avoiding this deadlock.

Commit 56d1de0a, "ath5k: clean up
filter flags setting" introduced a regression in monitor mode such
that the promisc filter flag would get lost.

Although we set the promisc flag when it changed, we did not
preserve it across subsequent calls to configure_filter.  This patch
restores the original functionality.

When building a kernel with CONFIG_PM=y but neither suspend nor
hibernate support, the compiler complains about the static functions
ath5k_pci_suspend() and ath5k_pci_resume() not being used:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:713:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_suspend’ defined but not used
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:722:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_resume’ defined but not used

Depending on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP rather than CONFIG_PM fixes the issue.

Processing an association response could take a bit
of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that
time, the AP might already send a blockack request.
If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine,
we can end up processing the blockack request before
the association processing has finished. Since the
blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also
cannot make it wait in the driver.

As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn
driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass
when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc
setup completed.

I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves
queuing all blockack category action frames from a
work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver
callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the
code and make things easier.

However, this is a very involved and complex change.
To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be
backported to stable, I've come up with this patch.
Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames
from the managed interface skb queue, which means
their processing will be serialized with processing
the association response, thereby fixing the problem.

Daniel reported that the paged RX changes had
broken blockack request frame processing due
to using data that wasn't really part of the
skb data.

Fix this using skb_copy_bits() for the needed
data. As a side effect, this adds a check on
processing too short frames, which previously
this code could do.

We can wake all queues after a chip reset since everything should be set up and
we are ready to transmit. If we don't do that we might end up starting up with
stopped queues, not beeing able to transmit. (This started to happen after
"ath5k: clean up queue manipulation" but since periodic calibration also
stopped and started the queues this effect was hidden most of the time).

This way we can also get rid of the superfluous ath5k_reset_wake() function.

	ath9k: Remove ATH9K_TX_SW_ABORTED and introduce a bool for this purpose

Wrong buffer is checked for bf_tx_aborted field in ath_tx_num_badfrms(),
this may result in a rate scaling with wrong feedback (number
of unacked frames in this case). It is the last one in the chain
of buffers for an aggregate frame that should be checked.

Also it misses the initialization of this field in the buffer,
this may lead to a situation where we stop the sw retransmission
of failed subframes associated to this buffer.
