Adds the Backward Congestion Notification Address (BCNA) attribute to the
Backward Congestion Notification (BCN) interface for Data Center Bridging
(DCB), which was missing. Receive the BCNA attribute in the ixgbe driver.
The BCNA attribute is for a switch to inform the endstation about the physical
port identification in order to support BCN on aggregated links.

Data Center Bridging (DCB) had no way to know if setstate had failed in the
driver. This patch enables dcb netlink code to handle the status for the DCB
setstate interface. Likewise it allows the driver to return a failed status
if MSI-X isn't enabled.

We should suspend the MAC, before we kill the radio. This gives
the MAC a chance to leave any TX/RX state and it avoids races on

This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it
means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it
dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low
latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some
require the host to do it.
The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to
ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace
with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the
dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms:
iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m
Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware.
It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is
considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle.
In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature
with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS.
Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

This is a preparation for the dynamic power save support. In future there are
two paths to stop the master queues and we need to track this properly to
avoid starting queues incorrectly. Implement this by adding a status
array for each queue.
The original idea and design is from Johannes Berg, I just did
the implementation based on his notes. All the bugs are mine, of course.

The RX code in ath9k uses sc_keymap to figure out whether a default
key was used. However, the default key entries in sc_keymap were
always set and as such, frames could have been claimed to be decrypted
by hardware when they were not. This can cause problems especially
with TKIP since mac80211 is validating the Michael MIC in the frame
and this will result in MIC failure and potentially TKIP
countermeasures if the frame was not decrypted correctly.
Change key cache slot allocation to mark only the keys that really
have been used in sc_keymap to avoid the issue. The key cache slot
selection routines are now internally avoiding the slots that may be
needed for TKIP group keys.

Previously we allocate Rx SKB with GFP_ATOMIC flag. This is because we need
to hold a spinlock to protect the two rx_used and rx_free lists operation
in the rxq.
spin_lock();
...
element = rxq->rx_used.next;
element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_ATOMIC);
list_del(element);
list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free);
...
spin_unlock();
After spliting the rx_used delete and rx_free insert into two operations,
we don't require the skb allocation in an atomic context any more (the
function itself is scheduled in a workqueue).
spin_lock();
...
element = rxq->rx_used.next;
list_del(element);
...
spin_unlock();
...
element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_KERNEL);
...
spin_lock()
...
list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free);
...
spin_unlock();
This patch should fix the "iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers" warning
we see recently.

Reported-by: Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@users.sourceforge.net>
After the code was modified to use urb anchors ("rtl8187: Use usb anchor
facilities to manage urbs"), rtl8187 began generating an intermittent GPF
on shutdown when using SLUB with debugging enabled. Furthermore, rebooting
the system with a ping running caused a GPF every time. There are two problems:
(1) incorrect locking in the rtl8187_rx_cb() routine, a pre-existing bug that
apparently had not been triggered before, and (2) duplicate freeing of receive
skbs that was probably introduced with the change to anchors.

Rate scaling in agn can be broken because of these two problems
1- the LQ command could not sent, we try to call LQ command before
post association will be rejected, this will cause the driver to
break in rs_tx_status reporting initial rate does not match.
2- In rs_rate_init we can get a value of 12, rate 60, for
last_txrate_idx, this rate only valid in SISO/MIMO mode only

When a STA roams back to the same AP before the previous STA entry has
expired, a new STA entry is not added in mac80211. However, a Layer 2
Update frame still needs to be transmitted to update layer 2 devices
about the new location for the STA. Without this, switches may
continue to forward frames to the previous (now incorrect) port when
STA roams between APs.
