Since aggregation queues are station-specific, the
device will not reject packets in them but rather
will stop the appropriate aggregation queues when
a station goes to sleep. I forgot to account for
this in the driver, so if a station went to sleep
that had aggregation enabled, traffic would stop
indefinitely.
Fix this by only accounting frames queued on the
normal AC queues for associated station.

Through races, a packet may be enqueued for
transmission to a station while that station
is going to sleep, in which case the warning
here triggers. Instead of warning, check the
condition -- if this packet is not a PS-poll
response then we still enqueue it but it will
be rejected by the device since the station
is marked as asleep.

AR9287 devices (PCI/USB) use different eeprom start location

For drivers that have accurate TX status reporting
we can report the number of consecutive lost packets
to userspace using the new cfg80211 CQM event. The
threshold is fixed right now, this may need to be
improved in the future.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This adds the ability for drivers to use CQM events
to notify about packet loss for specific stations
(which could be the AP for the managed mode case).
Since the threshold might be determined by the
driver (it isn't passed in right now) it will be
passed out of the driver to userspace in the event.

Since nullfunc frames are transmitted as unicast frames, they're more
reliable than the broadcast probe requests, so we need fewer retries
to figure out whether the AP is really gone.
Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>
Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
nullfunc frames are better for connection monitoring, because probe requests
are answered even if the AP has already dropped the connection, whereas
nullfunc frames from an unassociated station will trigger a disassoc/deauth
frame from the AP (WLAN_REASON_CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA), which allows
the station to reconnect immediately instead of waiting until it attempts to
transmit the next unicast frame.
This only works on hardware with reliable tx ACK reporting, any other hardware
needs to fall back to the probe request method.

Check the connection by probing the AP (either using nullfunc or a

longer valid, the AP will send a disassoc/deauth immediately.

Instead of using a fixed 2 second timeout, calculate beacon loss interval
from the advertised beacon interval and a frame count. With this beacon
loss happens after N (default 7) consecutive frames are missed which
for a typical setup (100TU beacon interval) is ~700ms (or ~1/3 previous).
