The variable is added to allow the driver an easy access to

This fixes a crash in wlcore because it was relying on a
station pointer that wasn't initialized yet. It's the wrong

1. Propagate the required scan duration to the device
2. Report the scan start time (in terms of TSF)
3. Report each BSS's detection time (also in terms of TSF)

There is no other limit other than a global
packet count limit when using software queuing.
This means a single flow queue can grow insanely
long. This is particularly bad for TCP congestion
algorithms which requires a little more
sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere
headdrop on limit overflow.
Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs)
CoDel5 on flow queues. This improves TCP
convergence and stability when combined with
wireless driver which keeps its own tx queue/fifo
at a minimum fill level for given link conditions.

Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11
aggregation requirements and hand out
packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are
destined to the same tid. This does more bad than
good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave
on an ethernet interface.
Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue
congestion control whenever a global AC limit was
hit. This meant in practice a single station or
tid queue could starve others rather easily. This
could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could
just end up with poor aggregation performance.
Increasing the AC limit would increase induced
latency which is also bad.
Disabling qdiscs by default and performing
taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion
control on the other hand makes it possible for
tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while
preventing stations starving each other.
This increases aggregation opportunities and
should allow software queuing based drivers
achieve better performance by utilizing airtime
more efficiently with big aggregates.

When using RSS, frames might not be processed in the correct order,
and thus AP_LINK_PS must be used; most likely with firmware keeping
track of the powersave state, this is the case in iwlwifi now.
In this case, the driver can use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to
still have mac80211 manage powersave buffering. However, for U-APSD
and PS-Poll this isn't sufficient. If the device can't manage that
entirely on its own, mac80211's code should be used.
To allow this, export two functions: ieee80211_sta_uapsd_trigger()
and ieee80211_sta_pspoll().

Some drivers/devices might want to set the IVs by
themselves (and still let mac80211 generate MMIC).
Specifically, this is needed when the device does
offloading at certain times, and the driver has
to make sure that the IVs of new tx frames (from
the host) are synchronized with IVs that were
potentially used during the offloading.
Similarly to CCMP, move the TX IVs of TKIP keys to the
public part of the key struct, and export a function
to add the IV right into the crypto header.
The public tx_pn field is defined as atomic64, so define
TKIP_PN_TO_IV16/32 helper macros to convert it to iv16/32
when needed.
Since the iv32 used for the p1k cache is taken
directly from the frame, we can safely remove
iv16/32 from being protected by tkip.txlock.

This means it isn't possible to filter frames within a BA session in

The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame

When debugging wireless powersave issues on the AP side it's quite helpful

this is not that easy since beacons don't pass through the regular TX queues.
Preferably drivers would call ieee80211_tx_status also for tx'ed beacons
but that's not always possible. Hence, just send a copy of each beacon
generated by ieee80211_beacon_get_tim to monitor devices when they are
getting fetched by the driver.
Also add a HW flag IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS that can be used by

HT TDLS traffic should be protected in a non-HT BSS to avoid
collisions. Therefore, when TDLS peers join/leave, check if

the virtual interface according to the HT capabilities of the
TDLS peer(s).
This works because a non-HT BSS connection never sets (or
otherwise uses) the ht_operation_mode; it just means that
