This patch moves the rfkill poll_work to the power efficient workqueue. This work does not have to be bound to the CPU that scheduled it, hence the selection of CPU that executes it would be left to the scheduler. Net result is that CPU idle times would be extended, resulting in power savings. This behaviour is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected. Cc: "John W.

For better use of CPU idle time, allow the scheduler to select the CPU on which the timeout work of regulatory settings would be executed. This extends CPU idle residency time and saves power.

Action, disassoc and deauth frames are bufferable, and as such don't have the PM bit in the frame control field reserved which means we need to react to the bit when receiving in such a frame. Fix this by introducing a new helper ieee80211_is_bufferable_mmpdu() and using it for the RX path that currently ignores the PM bit in any non-data frames for doze->wake transitions, but listens to it in all frames for wake->doze transitions, both of which are wrong. Also use the new helper in the TX path to clean up the code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Responding to probe requests for scanning clients will often create excessive retries, as it happens quite often that the scanning client already left the channel. Therefore do it like hostapd and send probe responses for wildcard SSID only once by using the noack flag.

The scheduled scan matchsets were intended to be a list of filters, with the found BSS having to pass at least one of them to be passed to the host. When the RSSI attribute was added, however, this was broken and currently wpa_supplicant adds that attribute in its own matchset; however, it doesn't intend that to mean that anything that passes the RSSI filter should be passed to the host, instead it wants it to mean that everything needs to also have higher RSSI. This is semantically problematic because we have a list of filters like [ SSID1, SSID2, SSID3, RSSI ] with no real indication which one should be OR'ed and which one AND'ed. To fix this, move the RSSI filter attribute into each matchset. As we need to stay backward compatible, treat a matchset with only the RSSI attribute as a "default RSSI filter" for all other matchsets, but only if there are other matchsets (an RSSI-only matchset by itself is still desirable.) To make driver implementation easier, keep a global min_rssi_thold for the entire request as well. The only affected driver is ath6kl. I found this when I looked into the code after Raja Mani submitted a patch fixing the n_match_sets calculation to disregard the RSSI, but that patch didn't address the semantic issue.

There are a few cases, e.g. suspend, where an AP interface is stopped by the kernel rather than by userspace request, most commonly when suspending. To let userspace know about this, send the NL80211_CMD_STOP_AP command as an event every time an AP interface is stopped. This also happens when userspace did in fact request the AP stop, but that's not a problem. For full-MAC drivers this may need to be extended to also cover cases where the device stopped the AP operation for some reason, this a bit more complicated because then all cfg80211 state also needs to be reset; such API is not part of this patch.

A few places weren't checking that the frame passed to the function actually has enough data even though the function clearly documents it must have a payload byte. Make this safer by changing the function to take an skb and checking the length inside. The old version is preserved for now as the rtl* drivers use it and don't have a correct skb.

ATM, {ADD,DEL}BA and BAR frames are sent on the AC matching the TID of the BA parameters. In the discussion [1] about this patch, Johannes recalled that it fixed some races with the DELBA and indeed this behavior was introduced in [2]. While [2] is right for the BARs, the part queueing the {ADD,DEL}BAs on their BA params TID AC violates the spec and is more a workaround for some drivers. Helmut expressed some concerns wrt such drivers, in particular DELBAs in rt2x00. ATM, DELBAs are sent after a driver has called (hence "purposely") ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe and Johannes and Emmanuel gave some details wrt intentions behind the split of the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_* given to the driver ampdu_action supposed to call this function, which could prove handy to people trying to do the right thing in faulty drivers (if their fw/hw don't get in their way).

The sample table is initialized only once at module start, so is really __read_mostly. Additionally, the code to init it can be marked __init since it will never be needed again, it is likely automatically inlined into the __init function already by the compiler, so this doesn't really make a difference.

When IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC is set, mac80211 will perform a division by max_signal in ieee80211_bss_info_update. If max_signal is not properly set by the driver (for example it is zero) this leads to a divide error and crash. Thanks to Larry Finger, who pointed me to this. This patch adds in ieee80211_register_hw one more check to detect this condition and eventually returns -EINVAL, as already done for other checks already performed there.
