We may have the L-SIG length depending on the phy_data info type;
add it to radiotap when we do.
Move getting the phy_data out one layer up and the info type into
it so we can use this data more generically. We need to call the
iwl_mvm_rx_he() function for other reasons as well, so can't just
combine all of that into something like iwl_mvm_parse_phy_data().

The firmware changed the PHY data API, so follow suit.
Some data is now available even for HT/VHT frames, so
the info type in the metadata was changed. This change
isn't backwards compatible, but
1) the firmware with the old API was never released;
2) the only overlap in the info type field is from the
old type of TB to the new of HT, so this basically
just means that with older FW and newer driver the
data will be considered missing.
While at it, remove the extra code to set the LTF syms
corresponding to the streams and use the data from the
device instead - we don't really need this in any case
other than when we have it from the device.
As the new API gives use the spatial reuse 1-4 fields
for trigger-based PPDUs, also expose that to radiotap.

When removing the driver, the following flow can happen:
1. host command is in progress, for example at index 68.
2. RX interrupt is received with the response.
3. Before it is processed, the remove flow kicks in, and
calls iwl_pcie_txq_unmap. The function cleans all DMA,
and promotes the read pointer to 69.
4. RX thread proceeds with the processing, and is calling
iwl_pcie_cmdq_reclaim, which will print this error:
iwl_pcie_cmdq_reclaim: Read index for DMA queue txq id (0),
index 4 is out of range [0-256] 69 69.
Detect this situation, and avoid the print. Change it to
warning while at it, to make such issues more noticeable
in the future.

When traffic load is not low or low latency is active, TCM schedules
re-evaluation work so in case traffic stops TCM will detect that
traffic load has become low or that low latency is no longer active.
However, if TCM is paused when the re-evaluation work runs, it does
not re-evaluate and the re-evaluation work is no longer scheduled.
As a result, TCM will not indicate that low latency is no longer
active or that traffic load is low when traffic stops.
Fix this by forcing TCM re-evaluation when TCM is resumed in case
low latency is active or traffic load is not low.

Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

This function is only half-used by mvm (i.e. only the nvm_version part
matters, since the calibration version is irrelevant), so it's
pointless to export it from iwlwifi. If mvm uses this function, it
has the additional complexity of setting the calib version to a bogus
value on all cfg structs.
To avoid this, move the function to dvm and make a simple comparison
of the nvm_version in mvm instead.

Comparing the existing TX_BITRATE parsing code (in
mwifiex_parse_htinfo()) with the RX bitrate histograms in debugfs.c, it
appears that the rxpd_rate and rxpd_htinfo fields have the same format.
At least, they give reasonable results when I parse them this way.
So this patch adds support for RX_BITRATE to our station info dump.
Along the way, I add legacy bitrate parsing into the same function,
using the debugfs code (mwifiex_histogram_read() and
mwifiex_adjust_data_rate()) as reference.
Additionally, to satisfy the requirements of
NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_BITRATE, I skip logging the bitrate of multicast
packets. This shouldn't add a lot of overhead to the RX path, as there
are already several similar 802.3 header checks in this same codepath.
We can also bias the branch behavior to favor unicast, as that's the
common performance-sensitive case.
I'd consider this support somewhat experimental, as I have zero
documentation from Marvell. But the existing driver code gives me good
reason to think this is correct.
I've tested this on a few different 802.11{a,b,g,n,ac} networks, and the
reported bitrates look good to me.

the following hw flags:
- IEEE80211_HW_STA_MMPDU_TXQ
- IEEE80211_HW_BUFF_MMPDU_TXQ
This can produce a NULL pointer dereference in mt76_stop_tx_queues
since mt76 iterates on all available sta tx queues assuming they are

(it has not triggered any crash yet)

Several conflicts, seemingly all over the place.
I used Stephen Rothwell's sample resolutions for many of these, if not
just to double check my own work, so definitely the credit largely
goes to him.
The NFP conflict consisted of a bug fix (moving operations
past the rhashtable operation) while chaning the initial
argument in the function call in the moved code.
The net/dsa/master.c conflict had to do with a bug fix intermixing of
making dsa_master_set_mtu() static with the fixing of the tagging
attribute location.
cls_flower had a conflict because the dup reject fix from Or
overlapped with the addition of port range classifiction.
__set_phy_supported()'s conflict was relatively easy to resolve
because Andrew fixed it in both trees, so it was just a matter
of taking the net-next copy. Or at least I think it was :-)
Joe Stringer's fix to the handling of netns id 0 in bpf_sk_lookup()
intermixed with changes on how the sdif and caller_net are calculated
in these code paths in net-next.
The remaining BPF conflicts were largely about the addition of the
__bpf_md_ptr stuff in 'net' overlapping with adjustments and additions
to the relevant data structure where the MD pointer macros are used.

In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's
necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly
indirect) callers. One prominent API through which the notification is
invoked is dev_open().
Therefore extend dev_open() with and extra extack argument and update
all users. Most of the calls end up just encoding NULL, but bond and
team drivers have the extack readily available.

This device takes over an existing network device and produces a
new one that appears like a wireless connection, returning enough canned
responses to nl80211 to satisfy a standard connection manager. If
necessary, it can also be set up one step removed from an existing
network device, such as through a vlan/80211Q or macvlan connection to
not disrupt the existing network interface.
To use it to wrap a bare ethernet connection:
ip link add link eth0 name wlan0 type virt_wifi
You may have to rename or otherwise hide the eth0 from your connection
manager, as the original network link will become unusuable and only
the wireless wrapper will be functional. This can also be combined with
vlan or macvlan links on top of eth0 to share the network between
distinct links, but that requires support outside the machine for
accepting vlan-tagged packets or packets from multiple MAC addresses.
This is being used for Google's Remote Android Virtual Device project,
which runs Android devices in virtual machines. The standard network
interfaces provided inside the virtual machines are all ethernet.
However, Android is not interested in ethernet devices and would rather
connect to a wireless interface. This patch allows the virtual machine
guest to treat one of its network connections as wireless rather than
ethernet, satisfying Android's network connection requirements.
We believe this is a generally useful driver for simulating wireless
network connections in other environments where a wireless connection is
desired by some userspace process but is not available.
This is distinct from other testing efforts such as mac80211_hwsim by
being a cfg80211 device instead of mac80211 device, allowing straight
pass-through on the data plane instead of forcing packaging of ethernet
data into mac80211 frames.

Creating radios during startup follows a different code path than
HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO. The problem was that param.iftypes was not
being set to the deafult before calling mac80211_hwsim_new_radio

Kalle Valo says:
====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.21
First set of patches for 4.21. Most notable here is support for
Quantenna's QSR1000/QSR2000 chipsets and more flexible ways to provide
nvram files for brcmfmac.
Major changes:
brcmfmac
* add support for first trying to get a board specific nvram file
* add support for getting nvram contents from EFI variables
qtnfmac
* use single PCIe driver for all platforms and rename
Kconfig option CONFIG_QTNFMAC_PEARL_PCIE to CONFIG_QTNFMAC_PCIE
* add support for QSR1000/QSR2000 (Topaz) family of chipsets
ath10k
* add support for WCN3990 firmware crash recovery
* add firmware memory dump support for QCA4019
wil6210
* add firmware error recovery while in AP mode
ath9k
* remove experimental notice from dynack feature
iwlwifi
* PCI IDs for some new 9000-series cards
* improve antenna usage on connection problems
* new firmware debugging infrastructure
* some more work on 802.11ax
* improve support for multiple RF modules with 22000 devices
cordic
* move cordic macros and defines to a public header file
* convert brcmsmac and b43 to fully use cordic library
