mac80211: add improved HW queue control
mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue
per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel
uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue
is full and then try to send an off-channel frame
the frame will never go out. This will become worse
when we support multi-channel since then a queue on
one channel might be full, but we have to stop the
software queue for all channels. That is obviously
not desirable.
To address this problem allow drivers to register
more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to
virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue
the corresponding AC software queues on the correct
interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally,
there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem
and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This
allows drivers to manage software queues closer to
how the hardware works.
Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues.
This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it
as needed.

This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).
The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
following functions:
rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
received.
adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
to be transmitted.
The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific
methods.
When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
and compensate clock drift.
In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
introducing a jitter of ~20us.
It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
etc.

iwlwifi: simplify calibration collection
The calibration results all come in while we're
waiting for the calibration complete notification.
As a consequence, there's no need to install a
global RX handler for them, we can use the newly
extended notification wait framework for this and
make the code easier to follow.
It is now quite explicit that we are processing
the calibration results while waiting for the
complete notification, before this was implicit
and developers had to know this to understand why
we wait for the calibration complete notification
and what happens while we wait.

iwlwifi: extend notification wait
Sometimes, for example when we ask the uCode
for calibration, we wait for the "complete"
response while we also need the results that
are sent in other, interim, notifications.
Currently we handle this by installing an RX
handler globally, but that isn't needed as
this is the only time we want to use these
notifications.
So in order to be able to simplify at least
future code that does the same, extend the
notification wait framework to allow you to
wait for multiple commands and decide based
on the command whether the wait finished.
While at it, also fix a race that can then
become relevant -- if the wait function has
returned true once it shouldn't be called
again, today this can happen due to races
between the triggering and the wakeup.

iwlwifi: process multiple frames per RXB
The flow handler (hardware) can put multiple
frames into a single RX buffer. To handle
this, walk the RX buffer and check if there
are multiple valid packets in it.
To let the upper layer handle this correctly
introduce rxb_offset() which is needed when
we pass pages to mac80211 -- we need to know
the offset into the page there.
Also change the page handling scheme to use
refcounting. Anyone who needs a page will
"steal" it, which marks it as having been
used & refcounts it. The RX handler then has
to free its own reference and must not reuse
the page.
Finally, do not set the bit asking the FH to
give us each packet in a single buffer. This
really enables the feature.

cfg80211: warn if db.txt is empty with CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
It has happened twice now where elaborate troubleshooting has
undergone on systems where CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB [0]
has been set but yet net/wireless/db.txt was not updated.
Despite the documentation on this it seems system integrators could
use some more help with this, so throw out a kernel warning at boot time
when their database is empty.
This does mean that the error-prone system integrator won't likely
realize the issue until they boot the machine but -- it does not seem
to make sense to enable a build bug breaking random build testing.

mac80211: fix the RANN propagation issues
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.

rtlwifi: Preallocate USB read buffers and eliminate kalloc in read routine
The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to
acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When
_usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is
a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is
reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.
The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could
be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from
within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync()
by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and
allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.

mac80211: when receiving DTIM disable power-save mode only if it was enabled
When receiving DTIM we currently disable power save mode in the
hardware unconditionally, i.e. also when the hardware was not sleeping.
This causes trouble with at least one wireless chipset (Ralink RT3572).
When the hardware is not sleeping and we send a wakeup command (e.g.
this happens after a scan) then a significant decrease of the link
quality or a disconnect may occur.
Disabling power save mode only when it was enabled prevents this issue.

Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the
timeout doesn't need to be so precise.
Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies
of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and
let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp.
Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems
running on battery.
This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded
systems.

p54usb: Load firmware asynchronously
Drivers that load firmware from their probe routine have problems with
the latest versions of udev as they get timeouts while waiting for user
space to start. The problem is fixed by using request_firmware_nowait()
and delaying the start of mac80211 until the firmware is loaded.
To prevent the possibility of the driver being unloaded while the
firmware loading callback is still active, a completion queue entry
is used.
Also, to simplify the firmware loading procedure, this patch removes
the old, unofficial and confusing fallback firmware names. However,
they are still supported! So any user - who is still using them -
is hereby advised to link/rename their old firmware filenames:
