This patch is intended to solve the follwing issues in RANN propagation:
[1] The interval in propagated RANN should be based on the interval of received RANN.
[2] The aggregated path metric for propagated RANN is as received plus own link metric
towards the transmitting mesh STA (not root mesh STA).
[3] The comparison of path metric for RANN with same sequence number should be done
before deciding whether to propagate or not.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have
a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so
prepare for that by reducing the reliance on
having a netdev. This patch moves the name
and address fields into the sdata struct and
uses them from there all over. Some work is
needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not
a lot of work and in slow paths anyway.
In doing so, this also reduces the number of
pointer dereferences in many places, because
of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming
sdata->vif.addr.

The station management currently uses the virtual
interface, but you cannot add the same station to
multiple virtual interfaces if you're communicating
with it in multiple ways.
This restriction should be lifted so that in the
future we can, for instance, support bluetooth 3
with an access point that mac80211 is already
associated to.
We can do that by requiring all sta_info_get users
to provide the virtual interface and making the RX
code aware that an address may match more than one
station struct. Thanks to the previous patches this
one isn't all that large and except for the RX and
TX status paths changes has low complexity.

The netdev broadcast address cannot change from

instead hard-code it. Since we already have an
instance in tkip.c, which will be shared if it
is marked static const, doing this reduces text
size at no data/bss cost.
The real motivation for this is, of course, the
desire to get rid of almost all uses of netdevs

Mesh uses the tx failure average to compute the (m)path metric. This used to
be done inside the rate control module. This patch breaks the dependency
between the mesh stack and the rate control algorithm. Mesh will now work
independently of the chosen rate control algorithm.
The mesh stack keeps a moving average of the average transmission losses for
each mesh peer station. If the fail average exceeds a certain threshold, the
peer link is marked as broken.

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

The removal of the master netdev broke the mesh forwarding path. This patch
fixes it by using the new internal 'pending' queue.
As a result of this change, mesh forwarding no longer does the inefficient
802.11 -> 802.3 -> 802.11 conversion that was done before.
[Changes since v1]
Suggested by Johannes:
- Select queue before adding to mpath queue
- ieee80211_add_pending_skb -> ieee80211_add_pending_skbs
- Remove unnecessary header wme.h

We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending.
In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can
cause hardware reconfiguration -- while it is down.
While at it we go ahead and add a warning in ieee80211_sta_work()
if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This
should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is
a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers.
With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend
and resume where as before there where issues with some timers
running during the suspend->resume cycle. This caused a lot of
incorrect assumptions and would at times bring back the device
in an incoherent, but mostly recoverable, state.

This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions
with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate.
It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the
mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device.
If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since
mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway,
the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat.
This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be
converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be
provided.

Now we deal with mesh forwarding before the 802.11->802.3 conversion, thus
eliminating a few unnecessary steps. The next hop lookup is called from
ieee80211_master_start_xmit() instead of subif_start_xmit(). Until the next hop
is found, RA in the frame will be all zeroes for frames originating from the
device. For forwarded frames, RA will contain the TA of the received frame,
which will be necessary to send a path error if a next hop is not found.

This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect
against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the
copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it
is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is
now somewhat understandable.
This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction
by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under
RTNL and frees the key.

This file implements the on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol, at this moment
using hop-count as the metric. When no mesh path exists for a given destination
or the mesh path is not active, frames addressed to that destination will be
queued and a Path Request frame will be sent. Queued frames will be sent when
the path is resolved (usually after reception of a Path Response) or discarded
if discovery times out. Path Requests will also be sent to refresh paths that
are being used and are close to expiring.
Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to
forward a frame originated in a different mesh point times out. Path Errors are
also sent when a peer link is determined to be unreachable because of high error
rates.
Multiple destination support in Path Requests and Path Errors and precursors
have not been implemented yet.
