    iwlwifi: mvm: LRU-assign key offsets · 2dc2a15e
    Johannes Berg authored
    The current key offset assignment algorithm always uses the lowest
    unused key offset, which will potentially lead to issues when the
    firmware will change to take the key material for TX from the key
    table rather than from the TX command.
    
    In order to avoid those issues (and avoid forgetting about them)
    change the key offset allocation algorithm now to avoid reusing key
    offsets quickly.
    
    The new algorithm always picks as the next offset the least recently
    freed offset, i.e. the offset that has been unused for the longest
    amount of time. This is implemented by having a generation counter
    for each key offset that is incremented every time a key is deleted,
    except for the one that's deleted, which is reset to zero. Thus the
    highest counter is the key that's been unused longest.
