As described at [1] some STAs (i.e. Intel 5100 Windows) can end up correctly BlockAcking incoming frames without delivering them to user space if a AMPDU subframe got lost and we don't flush the receipients reorder buffer with a BlockAckReq. This in turn results in stuck connections. According to 802.11n-2009 it is not necessary to send a BAR to flush the recepients RX reorder buffer but we still do that to be polite. However, assume the following frame exchange: AP -> STA, AMPDU (failed) AP -> STA, BAR (failed) The client in question then ends up in the same situation and won't deliver frames to userspace anymore since we weren't able to flush its reorder buffer. This is not a hypothetical situation but I was able to observe this exact behavior during a stress test between a rt2800pci AP and a Intel 5100 Windows client. In order to work around this issue just tear down the BA session as soon as a BAR failed to be TX'ed.

b43_op_config and b43_op_bss_info_changed apply many settings by directly writing to hardware registers. These settings are lost as soon as the core is restarted and the initvals are reloaded. This was discovered because restarting hostapd led to the beacon interval getting set to ~33s (see https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8033 for more information).

Disable ASPM in pci ->probe on upstream (device) and downstream (PCIe port) component. According to e1000e driver authors this is required. I did not find that requirement in PCIe spec, but it seems to be logical for me. This need to be fixed for CONFIG_PCIEASPM, that will be done later ...

Instead of maintaining static scan table in driver, scan list is sent to cfg80211 stack (after parsing each scan command response). In assoc handler (for infra and ibss network) requested BSS information is retrieved using cfg80211_get_bss() API. With the changes above some redundant code are removed.

The NL80211_CMD_NEW_BEACON command is, in practice, requesting AP mode operations to be started. Add new attributes to provide extra IEs (e.g., WPS IE, P2P IE) for drivers that build Beacon, Probe Response, and (Re)Association Response frames internally (likely in firmware).

ath9k_hw_4k_get_eeprom() overrides the eeprom value for txgain if the minor version is not 19 or above with a value of 0. ar9002_hw_init_mode_gain_regs() relies on this information to determine whether this is a high power wifi card or not. The override caused the driver to always use the 'normal' power tables even for high power devices if their minor version was not high enough. Thus leading to reduced power output. This isn't needed for the AR9285; the check originated with the AR9280 setup code which requires the EEPROM version check.

When a PREQ or PREP is received from an intermediate node, it contains useful information for path selection but it doesn't include the originator's sequence number. Therefore, when updating the mesh path to that intermediate node, we should not set the MESH_PATH_SN_VALID flag. BUT, if the flag is set, it should not be unset as we might have received a valid sequence number for that intermediate node in the past.

When toggle_irq is called for PCI devices to disable device interrupts it used tasklet_disable to wait for a possibly running tasklet to finish. However, on SMP systems the tasklet might still be scheduled on another CPU. Instead, use tasklet_kill to ensure that all scheduled tasklets are finished before returning from toggle_irq. Furthermore, it was possible that a tasklet reenabled its interrupt even though interrupts have been disabled already. Fix this by checking the DEVICE_STATE_ENABLED_RADIO flag before reenabling single interrupts during tasklet processing. While at it also enable/kill the TBTT and PRETBTT tasklets in the toggle_irq callback and only use tasklet_kill in stop_queue to wait for a currently scheduled beacon update before returning.

Let us enable/disable interrupts based on reference count. By doing this we can ensure that interrupts are never be enabled in the middle of tasklet processing.

At preset set_interrupt also enables interrupt after changing mask. This is not necessary in all cases and also sometime it breaks the assumption that interrupt was disabled. So let us enable the interrupt explicity if it was disabled earlier. This could also avoid unnecessary register ops and also helps the follow up patch to have global ref count for interrupts ops.
