This renames the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE
TX flag to IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER and also
uses it for non-bufferable MMPDUs (all MMPDUs but
deauth, disassoc and action frames.)
Previously, mac80211 would let the MMPDU through
but not set the flag so drivers supporting some
hardware aids for avoiding the PS races would
then reject the frame.

In my AMPDU rework, I rely on the sequence numbers of frames. But
I didn't check that the frame has a valid tid before updating the
tracking counters. As a result, the Tx queues were stalled. People
who hit this bug saw that we simply didn't let any data out.
This bug was introduced in 3.3.
This patch fixes that and checks that the frame is a QoS frame before
looking at its tid and changing the counters.

Since packets sent to an RA / TID in AGG are sent from a
separate HW Tx queue, we may get into a race:
the regular queue isn't empty while we already begin to
send packets from the AGG queue. This would result in sending
packets out of order.
In order to cope with this, mac80211 waits until the driver
reports that the legacy queue is drained before it can send
packets to the AGG queue. During that time, mac80211 buffers
packets for the driver. These packets will be sent in order
after the driver reports it is ready.
The way this was implemented in the driver is as follows:
We held a counter that monitors the number of packets for
an RA / TID in the HW queues. When this counter reached 0,
we knew that the HW queues were drained and we reported to
mac80211 that were ready to proceed.
This patch changes the implementation described above. We
now remember what is the wifi sequence number of the first
packet that will be sent in the AGG queue (lets' call it
ssn). When we reclaim the packet before ssn, we know that
the queue is drained, and we are ready to proceed.
This will allow us to move this logic in the upper layer and
eventually remove the tid_data from the shared area.

want it.
Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly
straight-forward extension. Drivers need to have
accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame.
For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided
APIs allow releasing the right number of frames,
but then drivers need to set EOSP and more-data
themselves. This is documented in more detail in

Before this patch, the upper layer could register a callback for each
host command. This mechanism allowed the upper layer to have
different callbacks for the same command ID. In fact, it wasn't used
and the rx_handlers is enough: same callback for all the command with
a specific command ID.
The iwl_send_add_station needs the access the command that was sent
while handling the response (regardless if the command was sent in
SYNC or ASYNC mode). So now, all the handlers receive the host
command that was sent. This implies a change in the handler signature.

This logic is responsible to tell mac80211 when the HW queues are
empty and the BA session can be started / torn down.
Fix a bug on the way:
When the the Tx BA session is stopped and the HW queues aren't empty,
we stop the SW queue to drain the HW queue and then switch to the
legacy HW queue. This is the IWL_EMPTYING_HW_QUEUE_DELBA state.
While in this state, we never wake the SW queue, even when the HW
queue is almost empty, since we need to drain it completely. Look
at iwl_trans_pcie_reclaim regarding this.
Once the HW queue is really empty, we must wake the SW queue in order
to get traffic to the legacy queue.
This step was missing leading to an odd situation were the traffic
would just stall after we tore down a Tx BA session while the HW
queue was not empty.
