Johannes Berg ded81f6ba9 mac80211: decouple # of netdev queues from HW queues
When we get more hardware queues, we'll still want
to only have netdev queues per AC, so set it up in
that way. If the hardware doesn't support QoS (by
not supporting at least 4 queues) the netdevs get
a single queue only (this is no change in behavior
as there are no drivers with 2 or 3 queues today.)

Thomas Pedersen d3c1597b8d mac80211: fix forwarded mesh frame queue mapping
We can't rely on ieee80211_select_queue() to do its job at this point
since the skb->protocol is not yet known. Instead, factor out and reuse
the queue mapping logic for injected frames.

Also, to mitigate congestion, forwarded frames should be dropped if the
outgoing queue was stopped.  This was not correctly implemented as we
were not checking the right queue.  Furthermore, we were dropping frames
that had arrived to their destination if that queue was stopped.

Javier Cardona d0ce1855ea mac80211: simplify mesh frame queue mapping and QoS
We only need to set the skb queue twice:

1. by the netdev, on local TX.
2. when forwarding a mesh frame.

We only need to set the qos header twice:

1. by mac80211, on local TX.
2. when putting a frame on the mpath->frame_queue

We also don't need the RA in order to set the proper queue mapping since
all mesh STAs are QoS, indicate this and do it once when the frame is
received. Also fixes an issue where the QoS header and queue mapping was not
set for unicast forwarded frames.

Johannes Berg cf0277e714 mac80211: fix skb buffering issue
Since I removed the master netdev, we've been
keeping internal queues only, and even before
that we never told the networking stack above
the virtual interfaces about congestion. This
means that packets are queued in mac80211 and
the upper layers never know, possibly leading
to memory exhaustion and other problems.

This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and
uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into
queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver
stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding
queues for the virtual interfaces as well.

The injection case will use VO by default for
non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but
downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It
needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow
chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.

Johannes Berg 8f77f3849c mac80211: do not pass PS frames out of mac80211 again
In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed
to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce
the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary
overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and
this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption
is used.

Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue
again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also
fixes a problem where frames for that particular station
could be reordered when some were still on the software
queues and older ones are re-injected into the software
queue after them.

Jouni Malinen 0eeb59fe2c mac80211: Fix WMM ACM parsing and AC downgrade operation
Incorrect local->wmm_acm bits were set for AC_BK and AC_BE. Fix this
and add some comments to make it easier to understand the AC-to-UP(pair)
mapping. Set the wmm_acm bits (and show WMM debug) even if the driver
does not implement conf_tx() handler.

In addition, fix the ACM-based AC downgrade code to not use the
highest priority in error cases. We need to break the loop to get the
correct AC_BK value (3) instead of returning 0 (which would indicate
AC_VO). The comment here was not really very useful either, so let's
provide somewhat more helpful description of the situation.

Since it is very unlikely that the ACM flag would be set for AC_BK and
AC_BE, these bugs are not likely to be seen in real life networks.
Anyway, better do these things correctly should someone really use
silly AP configuration (and to pass some functionality tests, too).

Remove the TODO comment about handling ACM. Downgrading AC is
perfectly valid mechanism for ACM. Eventually, we may add support for
WMM-AC and send a request for a TS, but anyway, that functionality
won't be here at the location of this TODO comment.

Johannes Berg 96f5e66e8a mac80211: fix aggregation for hardware with ampdu queues
Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation.

This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues,
but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough
version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time,
which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is
currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs
that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP).

This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to
execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like
this:
 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for
    fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented
    frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a
    single frame with its fragments)
 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a
    per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation,
    when the session has come up take all those frames and put them
    onto the queue from 1)
 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in
    mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from
    mac80211 again

This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the
frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

Johannes Berg e253008360 mac80211: use multi-queue master netdevice
This patch updates mac80211 and drivers to be multi-queue aware and
use that instead of the internal queue mapping. Also does a number
of cleanups in various pieces of the code that fall out and reduces
internal mac80211 state size.

Johannes Berg e039fa4a41 mac80211: move TX info into skb->cb
This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.

A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.
