Johannes Berg 678f5f7117 mac80211: clean up eapol handling in TX path
The previous patch left only one user of the ieee80211_is_eapol()
function and that user can be eliminated easily by introducing
a new "frame is EAPOL" flag to handle the frame specially (we
already have this information) instead of doing the (expensive)
ieee80211_is_eapol() all the time.

Also, allow unencrypted frames to be sent when they are injected.

Ron Rindjunsky 98f0b0a3a4 mac80211: pass in PS_POLL frames
This patch fixes should_drop_frame function to pass in ps poll control
frames required for power save functioanlity. Interface types that do not
have interest for PS POLL frames now drop it in handler.

Johannes Berg e38bad4766 mac80211: make ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces not need rtnl
Interface iteration in mac80211 can be done without holding any
locks because I converted it to RCU. Initially, I thought this
wouldn't be needed for ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces but
it's turning out that multi-BSS AP support can be much simpler
in a driver if ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces can be called
without holding locks. This converts it to use RCU, it adds a
requirement that the callback it invokes cannot sleep.

Ron Rindjunsky 76ee65bfaa mac80211: restructuring data Rx handlers
This patch restructures the Rx handlers chain by incorporating previously
handlers ieee80211_rx_h_802_1x_pae and ieee80211_rx_h_drop_unencrypted
into ieee80211_rx_h_data, already in 802.3 form. this scheme follows more
precisely after the IEEE802.11 data plane archituecture, and will prevent
code duplication to IEEE8021.11n A-MSDU handler.

added function:
 - ieee80211_data_to_8023: transfering 802.11 data frames to 802.3 frame
 - ieee80211_deliver_skb: delivering the 802.3 frames to upper stack
eliminated handlers:
 - ieee80211_rx_h_drop_unencrypted: now function ieee80211_drop_unencrypted
 - ieee80211_rx_h_802_1x_pae: now function ieee80211_802_1x_pae
changed handlers:
 - ieee80211_rx_h_data: now contains calls to four above function

Johannes Berg dabeb344f5 mac80211: provide interface iterator for drivers
Sometimes drivers need to know which interfaces are associated with
their hardware. Rather than forcing those drivers to keep track of
the interfaces that were added, this adds an iteration function to
mac80211.

As it is intended to be used from the interface add/remove callbacks,
the iteration function may currently only be called under RTNL.

Johannes Berg 693d454dff [MAC80211]: fix warnings introduced by the doc patches
This fixes a warning about NUM_IEEE80211_MODES missing
in a switch statement. Intentionally do not add a default
case so we get warnings at these places if we need to add
new modes.

Johannes Berg b708e61062 [MAC80211]: remove turbo modes
This patch removes all mention of the atheros turbo modes that
can't possibly work properly anyway since in some places we don't
check for them when we should.

I have no idea what the iwlwifi drivers were doing with these but
it can't possibly have been correct.

Eric W. Biederman 881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Daniel Drake 7e9ed18874 [MAC80211]: improved short preamble handling
Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b
transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global.

For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP
IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been
restricted to AP-only subifs.

ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed.

Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions:
 - ieee80211_generic_frame_duration
 - ieee80211_rts_duration
 - ieee80211_ctstoself_duration
 - ieee80211_rts_get
 - ieee80211_ctstoself_get
Affected drivers were updated accordingly.
