Queued frames aren't processed during scan, which results in an inability
to complete the BA session establishment until the scan ends. Since we
can't tx frames until the BA agreement setup is complete, it might result
in a very large latency during scan.
Fix this by allowing to process queued skbs while scanning in HW. This
should be ok since the devices which support hw scan should be able
to handle tx/rx while scanning.
During SW scan, mac80211 drops any txed frames besides probes and NDPs,
so it is still needed to delay processing of the queued frames till the
SW scan is done.

If the hardware is unregistered while interfaces are up, mac80211 will
unregister all interfaces, which in turns causes mac80211 to be called
again to remove them all from the driver and eventually shut down the
hardware.
During this shutdown, however, it's currently already unsafe to iterate
the list of interfaces atomically, as the list is manipulated in an
unsafe manner. This puts an undue burden on the driver - it must stop
all its activities before calling ieee80211_unregister_hw(), while in
the normal stop path it can do all cleanup in the stop method. If, for
example, it's using the iteration during RX for some reason, it would
have to stop RX before unregistering to avoid crashes.
Fix this problem by closing all interfaces before unregistering them.
This will cause the driver stop to have completed before we manipulate
the interface list, and after the driver is stopped *and* has called
ieee80211_unregister_hw() it really musn't be iterating any more as
the memory will be freed as well.

This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to

Four minor merge conflicts:

from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call
got moved further up in the probe function.
2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params

3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is
completely removed in 'net-next'.
4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations

This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which
they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues
short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs.
The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver -
queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by
calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue
management later without changing drivers using this code.
This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU
aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

When we go to suspend, there is complex set of states that
avoids races. The quiescing variable is set whlie
__ieee80211_suspend is running. Then suspended is set.
The code makes sure there is no window without any of these
flags.
The problem is that workers can still be enqueued while we
are quiescing. This leads to situations where the driver is
already suspending and other flows like disassociation are
handled by a worker.
To fix this, we need to check quiescing and suspended flags
in the worker itself and not only before enqueueing it.
I also add here extensive documentation to ease the

When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until
the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme
condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but
even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming
because the low level driver is trying to send packets to
an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and
let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up
the roaming.
For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

while the interface is removed.
However, if it scheduled the work that might only run after everything

When hw restart is requested last_seq is

with BA sessions being restarted with an aribtrary

Instead of using a bitmask for the reasons, use an integer that holds

It was possible for tx queues to be stuck stopped
if AP CSA finalization failed. In that case
neither stop_ap nor do_stop woke the queues up.
This means it was impossible to perform tx at all
until driver was reloaded or a successful CSA was
performed later.
It was possible to solve this in a simpler manner
however this is more robust and future proof
(having multi-vif CSA in mind).
New sdata->csa_block_tx is introduced to keep
track of which interfaces requested tx to be
blocked for CSA. This is required because mac80211
stops all tx queues for that purpose. This means
queues must be awoken only when last tx-blocking
CSA interface is finished.
It is still possible to have tx queues stopped
after CSA failure but as soon as offending
interfaces are stopped from userspace (stop_ap or
ifdown) tx queues are woken up properly.
