The non-irqsafe aggregation start/stop done
callbacks are currently only used by ath9k_htc,
and can cause callbacks into the driver again.
This might lead to locking issues, which will
only get worse as we modify locking. To avoid
trouble, remove the non-irqsafe versions and
change ath9k_htc to use those instead.

Currently we allocate some memory for each TX
aggregation session and additionally keep a
state bitmap indicating the state it is in.
By using RCU to protect the pointer, moving
the state into the structure and some locking
trickery we can avoid locking when the TX agg
session is fully operational.

Currently we allocate some memory for each RX
aggregation session and additionally keep a
flag indicating whether or not it is valid.
By using RCU to protect the pointer and making
sure that the memory is fully set up before it
becomes visible to the RX path, we can remove
the need for the bool that indicates validity,
as well as for locking on the RX path since it
is always synchronised against itself, and we
can guarantee that all other modifications are
done when the structure is not visible to the
RX path.
The net result is that since we remove locking
requirements from the RX path, we can in the
future use any kind of lock for the setup and
teardown code paths.

This moves the aggregation callback processing
to the per-sdata skb queue and a work function
rather than the tasklet.
Unfortunately, this means that it extends the
pkt_type hack to that skb queue. However, it
will enable making ampdu_action API changes
gradually, my current plan is to get rid of
this again by forcing drivers to only return
from ampdu_action() when everything is done,
thus removing the callbacks completely.

There's a corner case where we receive a fragmented
frame during a blockack session, in which case we
will terminate that session. To simplify future work
in this area that will culminate in allowing the
driver callbacks for aggregation to sleep, move the
processing of this case out of the RX path into the
interface work.
This will simplify future work because the new place
for this code doesn't require that the function will
always be atomic, which the RX path needs.

Some code is duplicated between ibss, mesh and
managed mode regarding the queueing of management
frames. Since all modes now use a common skb
queue and a common work function, we can pull
the queueing code into the rx handler directly
and remove the duplicated length checks etc.

A number of places use RCU locking for accessing
the station list, even though they do not need
to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the
locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is
also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the
same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that.
While doing so, combine places where we loop
over stations twice, and optimise away some of
the loops by checking if the hardware supports
aggregation at all first.
Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right
now we could resume, set up an aggregation session,
and right after tear it down again due to the code
that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here.
Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as
a workaround.
Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling
loop when an interface is stopped, directly after
that we remove all stations from it which will also
disable all aggregation sessions that may still be
active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the
current loop that doesn't block new sessions.

The flow id (scd_flow) in a compressed BA packet should match the txq_id
of the queue from which the aggregated packets were sent. However, in
some hardware like the 1000 series, sometimes the flow id is 0 for the
txq_id (10 to 19). This can cause the annoying message:
[ 2213.306191] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Received BA when not expected
[ 2213.310178] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Read index for DMA queue txq id (0),
index 5, is out of range [0-256] 7 7.
And even worse, if agg->wait_for_ba is true when the bad BA is arriving,
this can cause system hang due to NULL pointer dereference because the
code is operating in a wrong tx queue!

This patch added to 2.6.34:
commit f8d1dcaf88bddc7f282722ec1fdddbcb06a72f18

ixgbe: enable extremely low latency
introduced a feature where LRO (called RSC on the hardware) was disabled
automatically when setting rx-usecs to 0 via ethtool. Some might not
like the fact that LRO was disabled automatically, but I'm fine with
that. What I don't like is that LRO/RSC is automatically enabled when
rx-usecs is set >0 via ethtool.
This would certainly be a problem if the device was used for forwarding
and it was determined that the low latency wasn't needed after the
device was already forwarding. I played around with saving the state of
LRO in the driver, but it just didn't seem worthwhile and would require
a small change to dev_disable_lro() that I did not like.
This patch simply leaves LRO disabled when setting rx-usecs >0 and
requires that the user enable it again. An extra informational message
will also now appear in the log so users can understand why LRO isn't
being enabled as they expect.
Inconsistency of LRO setting first noticed by Stanislaw Gruszka.

Use struct rtnl_link_stats64 as the statistics structure.
On 32-bit architectures, insert 32 bits of padding after/before each
field of struct net_device_stats to make its layout compatible with
struct rtnl_link_stats64. Add an anonymous union in net_device; move
stats into the union and add struct rtnl_link_stats64 stats64.
Add net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64, implementations of which will
return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64. Drivers that implement
this operation must not update the structure asynchronously.
Change dev_get_stats() to call ndo_get_stats64 if available, and to
return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64. Change callers of
dev_get_stats() accordingly.

This was partially addressed in commit 5d944c640b4
(gen_estimator: deadlock fix), but same problem exist for all
gen_kill_estimator() users, if lock they use is not already RCU

A code review shows xt_RATEEST.c, act_api.c, act_police.c have this

The point of using the devres resource management routines is that they
simplify the driver by taking care of releasing resources on failure and
release. A recent commit added a bunch of error handling that is unnecessary
in this context.
This patch removes this redundant error handling, as well as using
dmam_alloc_coherent in place of dma_alloc_coherent in order to use this
framework consistenly throughout the driver.
