Andrei Otcheretianski 0d06d9ba93 mac80211: Support multiple CSA counters
Support up to IEEE80211_MAX_CSA_COUNTERS_NUM csa counters.
This is defined to be 2 now, to support both CSA and eCSA

Bob Copeland a40a8c17b2 mac80211: fix mesh_add_rsn_ie IE finding loop
Previously, the code to copy the RSN IE from the mesh config
would increment its pointer by one in the loop instead of by
the element length, so there was the potential for mistaking
another IE's data fields as the RSN IE.

cfg80211_find_ie() exists, so just use that.

Monam Agarwal 0c2bef4621 mac80211: use RCU_INIT_POINTER
rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is
carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. However, in the
case that NULL is assigned there's no structure to initialize so using
RCU_INIT_POINTER instead is safe and more efficient.

Luciano Coelho 66e01cf99e mac80211: only set CSA beacon when at least one beacon must be transmitted
A beacon should never have a Channel Switch Announcement information
element with a count of 0, because a count of 1 means switch just
before the next beacon.  So, if a count of 0 was valid in a beacon, it
would have been transmitted in the next channel already, which is
useless.  A CSA count equal to zero is only meaningful in action
frames or probe_responses.

Fix the ieee80211_csa_is_complete() and ieee80211_update_csa()
functions accordingly.

With a CSA count of 0, we won't transmit any CSA beacons, because the
switch will happen before the next TBTT.  To avoid extra work and
potential confusion in the drivers, complete the CSA immediately,
instead of waiting for the driver to call ieee80211_csa_finish().

To keep things simpler, we also switch immediately when the CSA count
is 1, while in theory we should delay the switch until just before the
next TBTT.

Additionally, move the ieee80211_csa_finish() function to cfg.c,
where it makes more sense.

Thomas Pedersen 43552be1da mac80211: update adjusting TBTT bit in beacon
This regression was introduced in "mac80211: cache mesh
beacon".

mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt()  was assuming that the
beacon would be rebuilt in every single pre-tbtt
interrupt, but now the beacon update happens on the
workqueue, and it must be ready for immediate delivery to
the driver.

Save a pointer to the meshconf IE in the beacon_data (this
works because both the IE pointer and beacon buffer are
protected by the same rcu_{dereference,assign_pointer}())
for quick updates during pre-tbtt. This is faster and a
little prettier than iterating over the elements to find
the meshconf IE every time.

Mesh STA receiving the mesh CSA action frame is not able to trigger
the mesh channel switch due to the incorrect handling and comparison
of mesh channel switch parameters element (MCSP)'s TTL. Make sure
the MCSP's TTL is updated accordingly before calling the

forwarding the CSA action frame, so MCSP's precedence value and

initialized.

To avoid this, only do any mesh sta peering teardown if
the kernel is actually handling it.

The same is true when quiescing before suspend.

Marco Porsch 3f52b7e328 mac80211: mesh power save basics
Add routines to
- maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode
- indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames
- track neighbor STAs power modes
- buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode
- add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons
- release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods

Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power
mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer
link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh
config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor
changes.
Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the
non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated
mesh peering is currently not working when either node is
configured to be in power save mode.

Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS
Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions.
For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame
flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA
pointer is already available.

Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific
power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to
represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations.
Track power modes based on received frames.

Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS
neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer).

Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame
buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer
and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons.

Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or
deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE
similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received
Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames.

Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use
the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status.
Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end
the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and
show large delay spikes and frame losses.

Thomas Pedersen 3b144658bc mac80211: dynamic short slot time for MBSSs
The standard mandates mesh STAs to set the ERP Short Slot
Time capability info bit in beacons to 0. Even though this
is their way of disallowing short slot time for mesh STAs,
there should be no harm in enabling it if we determine all
STAs in the current MBSS support ERP rates.

Increases throughput about 20% for legacy rates when
enabled.

Marco Porsch 9bdbf04db0 {cfg,nl,mac}80211: set beacon interval and DTIM period on mesh join
Move the default mesh beacon interval and DTIM period to cfg80211
and make them accessible to nl80211. This enables setting both
values when joining an MBSS.

Previously the DTIM parameter was not set by mac80211 so the
driver's default value was used.
