I've simplified the buffer initialization code so that it
always allocates things as if there were one or more monitor VAPs. This is
defensive since monitor VAPs can are created and/or destroyed while the radio is
up.
The old logic was basically changing the behavior of the initialization function
dynamically based on the presence of a monitor VAP but could lead to a mixed set
of buffers.
The revised code keeps all the buffers the same and make sure there is room for a radiotap
or prism header if necessary in advance.
Without this change, even after adding a monitor VAP you are going to pull SKBs that are too small for a while.

* Fix a bug where we would copy any cloned skb received in ath_hardstart,
and free the original... before returning the original to the queue!
The result of this would be memory corruption at best, randomly placed panic
at worst.
* In one case we returned -ENETDOWN from hard start, which in current kernels
is NOT NETDEV_TX_OK so it would therefore requeue the packet which we just
released.
* Fixes the logic for both requeue and drop in hardstart fail so that we never
leak, never double-free, and never leave the kernel with an invalid pointer
to an SKB we just freed.

* Beacon calibration interval needs to be per-radio, not global because
each radio is going to have it's IQ gain calibration reached at different
times. With multi-radio systems, you could have one radio calibrated and one

longer intervals for both. This also necessitated removal of the sysctl var

You can override:

- ctstimeout
- acktimeout
acktimeout and ctstimeout will be selected from the first available of:
1) the explicitly specified override value [if present]
2) a value derived from an explicitly specified slottime [if present]
3) the HALs default behavior / standard settings for the PHY mode
Setting the distance is shorthand for updating the slottime, and both cts and ack timeout values based upon the usual equations for air propagation, speed of light, etc..etc..

Further, the tpc module parameter was based upon a misunderstanding of what the HAL really supports and has been re-characterized.
Originally I believed that the HAL implemented per-node power level tuning but they apparently felt the specifications were too complicated and instead they implemented the minimum requirement for ETSI aggregate power limit compliance.
In short, "tpc" really uses a fixed power level for all packets of the regulatory maximum less 3dBm. It also defeats the fine-grained control (per descriptor) we have over the power levels of transmitted packets.
Therefore, I have renamed this to "hal_tpc" and updated the comments to reflect that this really is ETSI-style TPC hack for aggregate power. Since the user can set the power level to max -3dBm just as easily, I don't see the point of it after all, but it's still supported just in case someone finds value in it.

A module parameter and sysctl parameter are provided for changing whether interference mitigation is enabled or disabled.
When interference mitigation is disabled, we work around a HAL defect where the interference mitigation auto-tuning algorithm still starts and/or sets some initially high mitigation levels.
With this fix, disabling interference mitigation with the current HAL behaves like it did in prior HALs.
Far greater receive sensitivity and increased range is supported with this disabled. This is especially useful for long distance point-to-point links.
As a part of this fix, a severe bug that was originally a workaround for the HAL issue has been corrected. When interference mitigation is enabled, we NEVER want to eat or throttle the MIB interrupts as the hardware counter callbacks to the HAL are what drives the interference mitigation calibration state machine. Conversely, if interferference mitigation is being blocked by our driver but the hAL may still be enabling the HAL_INT_MIB in the IMR, then we want to force the interrupt OFF in the mask and eat the interrupt.
The failure case was where the interrupt would fire continually and never get properly handled because the HAL wasn't configured to handle interfernece mitigation - now we mask the interrupt OFF. With the 'throttling' hack, we didn't fix hte problem but made it worse - when interfernce mitigation was enabled we just blocked the necessary signals to get the counters updated and stop the interrupt from continuing to fire.
The timer to re-enable the MIB interrupt after it fired was also wrong cause it would make sure the interrupt could never be disabled by the HAL or the driver.

This pointer is entirely redundant with the pointer already in the SKB. This eliminates an unnecessary source of possible node reference leaks. In all cases this variable was being populated from the SKB's node pointer and was never referenced outside of the context of processing an skb, for obvious reasons.
Use BF_NI(bf) or SKB_NI(skb) macros to obtain the node of a buffer or skb.

We had a local flag that was being used inconsistently to mirror the queue state, but was really brain dead. sc_devstopped could be off even when the queue was stopped and no matter how many buffers were freed, we would never restart the queue. This could lead to liveness issues (mostly after a buffer leak caused excessive buffers to be used).
The kernel has an easy call to find out if the queue is stopped or not, so this checkin uses that.
We will re-awaken the queue if:
1) we have some buffers we are willing to use for data
2) the channel is available (as opposed to being in DFS CAC)
3) the queue is stopped
This is what we were originally going for with reap counters and sc_dev_stopped and all this other nonsense. The new logic is much simpler and cleaner.
This also fixes a performance problem where the queue was being re-awakened when no buffers were available resulting in a constant ping-pong of buffers between the kernel and madwifi and a very very heavy CPU utilization at exactly the wrong time.

HAL will say the CABQ is not active if the trigger has fired and the CABQ has been serviced. Therefore, the conditions under which we were skipping CABQ are EXACTLY when we need to check it.
This was leading to large numbers of rx buffers consumed in the CABQ (multicast, etc) and thus the RX queue would deteriorate over time until RX overruns would eventually start to be a big problem.
I also include better diagnostics.

ieee80211_input can receive cloned skb from the bridge layer, and thus makes copies to modify and use. The original was being freed immediately upon copying. The problem is that when you issue ANY response other than NETDEV_TX_OK the skb is returned to the kernel queue. So, basically there were wild pointers to skb in the skb queue, and these skb were being re-used by other applications and drivers - resulting in crashes all over the place.
With this new logic, we keep the original around until we know whether or not we will requeue it NETDEV_TX_BUSY or consume it NETDEV_TX_OK and we correctly free the skb only when appropriate.
We also get rid of the net80211_input_all function which was doing a bunch of unnecessary (and broken) copies and noe updates.

The need to use software instead of hardware for beacon timers in AP+STA mode (aka nosbeacon) is now just determined in software, as we always knew whether or not to enable this.
The confusing bssid and -bssid parameters are now deprecated.
The "uniquebssid" flag is equivalent to "bssid" and can be used to force IEEE80211_CLONE_BSSID flag. If this is not specified, then the BSSID used will be the next unused BSSID in the sequence, which could very well be the parent device's MAC address.
"uniquebssid" equates directly to IEEE80211_CLONE_BSSID" flag therefore.

time in ms, or the number of beacons for the
beacon miss alarm. If we haven't had a beacon
in this period, the alarm is sounded and
action (i.e. roaming) is taken.
This patch changes the storage of the beacon
miss threshold to integral beacon count but
corrects the previous intent.
The default beacon miss alarm is going to be
850ms which is half way between the two hard
coded limits that were there before.
The old hard coded limits assumed that the
beacon interval was 100ms and set the limit to
10 (1000ms) for software beacon miss timer
and 7 for hardware beacon miss timer.
The new default is 850ms (the midpoint between
the two previous defaults). This value is rounded
up to the next nearest beacon interval.
There is no upper bound on the beacon miss
threshold specified, since it may need to be
wildly inflated with 25ms beacon interval, or
wildly reduced with 1000ms beacon interval.
The minimum is still 2 beacons, regardless of
the beacon interval.

dropped frames a little more consistent and
fixes an issue in hardstart where I was being
too aggressive about requeing.
I thought the slab allocator would stop handing
out skbuff instances before the system was out
of free memory based upon some kind of limit on
the number of buffers, but this was nonsense.
Therefore, it is NOT a good idea to requeue
when skb allocation fails because this pretty
much basically means we are out of free memory.
Keeping the packets we do not have the RAM to
send and then stopping the transmit queue has
very bad side effects under low/zero memory
conditions.
Symptoms may include OOM killer and panics,
among other things.
It's better to drop tx packets when there's no
more RAM than to lock all the tx packets up
in the transmit queue. Even if more skb
become freed up in the slab cache due to
transmissions already in progress, evil things
still happen.

branch to trunk. especially notable is, that due to improved nexttbtt (next
"target beacon transmit time") calculation we will now get the correct backoff
behaviour for beacons, resulting in only one beacon per beacon interval (the
current head version will send N beacons for N stations in the beacon interval
because they are poorly synchronized). also because of the better timer
synchronization there is no more time lag of up to 1 minute until we see
beacons after a merge. thanks to benoit for figuring that out!
the difference between this patch and the version in the dfs-branch is that it
still uses self linked descriptors and uses the SWBA interrupt only for
updating the nexttbtt. this is necessary to recognize HW merges, for which we
don't get any notification by the hardware (see the thread "IBSS testing" on

ath_key_alloc() was using pointer subtraction to determine the group key
index. This is not optimal, as it's done by dividing a pointer-sized
integer by a number that is generally not a power of two.
Since there are only 4 (IEEE80211_WEP_NKID) keys to try, it's easier to
try them all in a loop. It also makes the code more reliable, as it now
detects the cases when the key pointer is within the valid range, but

Preprocessor flag now used to toggle printk output prior to blocking on
a spinlock.

If you turn on the flag, you can find out what locks are being contended for and from which functions... i.e. ath_intr fights for a particular lock, etc.
