WiFi throughput drops drastically when BT is turned on, BT and WiFi
are simultaneously transmitting/receiving traffic. This is particularly true
when BT has higher priority over WiFi, and hence the device defers TX frames.
The AP assumes that the channel is bad and reduces the data rate, implying
longer airtime, which exacerbates the problem further, resulting ultimately
in what is popularly called the "death-spiral" phenomenon. The use of PS-poll
in such scenarios guarantees a low but consistent throughput.
Since the death-spiral phenomenon is observed only when the RSSI is low, use
PS-poll only when RSSI is low and disable when high, with a known hysterisis.
This feature specifies the high and low thresholds and implements the
callbacks registered with mac80211, which will be called when threshold events
occur.

Emmanuel noticed that there's no explicit checking
that prevents the driver from attempting to issue
multiple synchronous commands at the same time and
wrote a patch to check. However, his patch warns
only if a collision actually happened, an unlikely
thing since the driver mutex should be held for
synchronous command submissions.
So instead of checking that a collision happened
add a check that the mutex is held which ensures

The current "huge" command handling is a bit
confusing, and very limited since only one
command may be huge at a time. Additionally,
we often copy data around quite pointlessly
since we could instead map the existing scan
buffer for example and use it directly.
This patch makes that possible. The first
change is that multiple buffers may be given
to each command (this change was prepared
earlier so callsites don't need to change).
Each of those can be mapped attached to a TB
in the TFD, and the command header can use a
TB (the first one) in the TFD as well.
Doing this allows getting rid of huge commands
in favour of mapping existing buffers. The
beacon transmission is also optimised to not
copy the SKB at all but use multiple TBs.

The function iwl_is_any_associated() was intended
to check both contexts, but due to an oversight
it only checks the BSS context. This leads to a
problem with scanning since the passive dwell
time isn't restricted appropriately and a scan
that includes passive channels will never finish
if only the PAN context is associated since the
default dwell time of 120ms won't fit into the
normal 100 TU DTIM interval.
Fix the function by using for_each_context() and
also reorganise the other functions a bit to take
advantage of each other making the code easier to
read.

This patch adds the feature to support the test mode operation through
the generic netlink channel NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE between intel
wireless device iwlwifi and the user space application svtool.
The main purpose is to create a transportation layer between the iwlwifi
device and the user space application so that the interaction between the
user space application svtool and the iwlwifi device in the kernel space is
in a way of generic netlink messaging.
The detail specific functions are:
1. The function iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to digest the svtool test command
from the user space application. The svtool test commands are categorized to
three types : commands to be processed by the device ucode, commands to access
the registers, and commands to be processed at the driver level(such as reload
the ucode). iwl_testmode_cmd() dispatches the commands the corresponding handlers
and reply to user space regarding the command execution status. Extra data is
returned to the user space application if there's any.
2. The function iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is added to multicast all the spontaneous
messages from the iwlwifi device to the user space. Regardless the message types,
whenever there is a valid spontaneous message received by the iwlwifi ISR,
iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is invoked to multicast the message content to user
space. The message content is not attacked and the message parsing is left to
the user space application.
Implementation guidelines:
1. The generic netlink messaging for iwliwif test mode is through NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE
channel, therefore, the codes need to follow the regulations set by cfg80211.ko
to get the actual device instance ieee80211_ops via cfg80211.ko, so that the iwlwifi
device is indicated with ieee80211_ops and can be actually accessed.
Therefore, a callback iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to the structure
iwlagn_hw_ops in iwl-agn.c.
2. It intends to utilize those low level device access APIs from iwlwifi device driver
(ie. iwlagn.ko) rather than creating it's own set of device access functions.
For example, iwl_send_cmd(), iwl_read32(), iwl_write8(), and iwl_write32() are reused.
3. The main functions are maintained in new files instead of spreading all over the
existing iwlwifi driver files.
The new files added are :
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sv-open.c
- to handle the user space test mode application command
and reply the respective command status to the user space application.
- to multicast the spontaneous messages from device to user space.
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-testmode.h
- the commonly referenced definitions for the TLVs used in
the generic netlink messages
