Many drivers would like to sleep during station
addition and removal, and currently have a high
complexity there from not being able to.
This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
fail.
The reason we didn't do this previously is that
the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
This patch will keep the station allocation in
that path, but moves adding the station to the
driver out of line. Since the addition can now
fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
station but never tell the driver about it in
the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
a driver that has a low limit on the number of
stations and that cannot talk to any stations
that are not known to it, we need to do come up
with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

Reinette found the reason for the warnings that
happened occasionally when a hw-offloaded scan
finished; her description of the problem:
mac80211 will defer the handling of scan requests if it is
busy with management work at the time. The scan requests
are deferred and run after the work has completed. When
this occurs there are currently two problems.
* The scan request for hardware scan is not fully populated
with the band and channels to scan not initialized.
* When the scan is queued the state is not correctly updated
to reflect that a scan is in progress. The problem here is
that when the driver completes the scan and calls
ieee80211_scan_completed() a warning will be triggered
since mac80211 was not aware that a scan was in progress.
The reason is that the queued scan work will start
the hw scan right away when the hw_scan_req struct
has already been allocated. However, in the first
pass it will not have been filled, which happens
at the same time as setting the bits. To fix this,
simply move the allocation after the pending work
test as well, so that the first iteration of the
scan work will call __ieee80211_start_scan() even
in the hardware scan case.

This breaks when such a frame is directed at a STA that has been moved

mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment
I inserted code testing the wrong flags field,
which means that the test is almost always true
(it's really testing for the peer's WMM support)
and thus the later parts of the stack assume hw
crypto will be done even if that's not true.
Obviously, that broke software crypto. Maxim
said so specifically, and Jochen probably uses
some cipher that iwl3945 doesn't support in
hardware, which might also explain that Maxim
reports that even hw crypto is broken.

The loop that passes non-data frames to all relevant vifs inside the
__ieee80211_rx_handle_packet keeps a pointer to the previous sdata to
avoid having to make unnecessary copies of the frame it's handling.
This led to a bug that caused it to apply the ieee80211_rx_data state
to the wrong interface, thereby either missing the rx.sta pointer or
having it assigned where it shouldn't be.
This breaks (among other things) aggregation on some vifs, as action
frame exchages are dropped to the cooked monitor interface due to
rx->sta being NULL.
Fix this by restructuring the loop so that it prepares the rx data just
before making the skb copy and calling the rx handlers.

mac80211: disable software retry for now
Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to
software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns
out that we've never done that correctly, but due to
some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've
added a comment in the patch that explains the problem
better and also points to possible solutions -- which
I can't implement right now.
I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames
because it was broken. With the work of the previous
patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it
by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't
be modified, but still running it through the transmit

When mac80211 asks a driver to encrypt a frame, it
must assign the control.hw_key pointer for it to

this whenever it would software-encrypt a frame.
Change the logic of this code to assign the hw_key
pointer when selecting the key, and later check it
when deciding whether to encrypt the frame or let
it be encrypted by the hardware. This allows us to
later simply skip the encryption function since it
no longer modifies the TX control.

1945 186786 pf_sample 50 3534 3577 50
My interpretation is that the fixed point scaling of the target
error value (pf) is incorrect: the error value of 50 compared to
a target of 14 case should result in a scaling value of
(14-50) = -36 * 256 or -9216, but instead it is (14 * 256)-50, or
3534.
Correct this by doing fixed point scaling after subtraction.
