The patch "mac80211: fix PS-poll response race" somehow broke
broadcast buffering in a funny way.
During normal operation - stations are awake - the firmware refused
to transmit broadcast frames and reported P54_TX_PSM_CANCELLED.
But everything worked as soon as one station entered PSM.
The reason:
The stack sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM for outgoing
broadcast frames as soon as a station is marked as sleeping.
This flag triggers a path which will reroute these frames
into p54's "content after beacon" queue, which is designed
to cope with the demands for psm.
This patch restores the old behavior.
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT will once again be used to signalize
the firmware to ignore the ps canceling for certain frames.

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.
A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

Johannes kindly pointed out that I completely missed a hunk in
his patch: "[PATCH] cfg80211: allow driver to override PS default".
The driver must explicitly set ps_default to false,
as the setting is pre-filled with the kconfig default.

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

When a station queries us for a PS-poll response, we wrongly
queue the frame on the virtual interface's queue rather than
the pending queue.
Additionally, fix a race condition where we could potentially
send multiple frames to the sleeping station due to using a
station flag rather than a packet flag. When converting to a
packet flag, we can also convert p54 and remove the filter
clearing we added for it.
(Also remove a now dead function)

This patch fixes a bug which crawled into the tree with the split-up

The memory-manager wasn't aware of the statistic feedback
extra_len space requirements and happily placed following frames
into the allegedly free spots.

This patch squashes a few old bugs, which have been around since
the initial version of p54usb in one form or another.
we never freed a orphaned frame, when were denied the resources,
which are necessary to pass the data into the usb subsystem.
As a result we could end up with a full queue that wasn't emptied,
until the device was brought down.

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

In the mainline kernel, p54usb will fail because the TX queue length can
become < 0. This problem has been reported as Bugzilla #13725. The failure
is expressed by the following message in the logs:
WARNING: at net/mac80211/tx.c:1325 ieee80211_tx+0x23c/0x298 [mac80211]()
Hardware name: HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC
tx refused but queue active
This problem has been recently observed in the wireless-testing tree, where
a full solution is being tested. That fix is too invasive for 2.6.31-rcX,
but the simple change supplied here will prevent the failure.

Under high load first data word, read after available data size
is sometimes lost in p54spi_rx. It seems to depend on frequency
of interrupts and latency of data read request relatively to
'data available' interrupt. The worst consequence of this bug
is loss of packet transmission acknowledgement, which in turn
causes overflow of tx queues and permanent link loss.
Read data size and first data word in one SPI transaction.
No packets from LMAC should have length less than 1 word,
so this shouldn't interfere with the next read transaction.
Also call p54spi_sleep if p54spi_wake succeeded.

interrupt status read
When SPI write of odd length is requested, p54spi_write splits it
into two parts: one for all data, except the last byte, and one
for last byte and padding byte. Unfortunately, the length of
first part is not amended. It works because all meaningful bytes
have proper value and the last byte of odd length SPI write
transaction is ignored.
p54spi_work has dummy HOST_INTERRUPTS register read at the end.
Drop it, as its result is not used and it has no side effects.

Currently queues are stopped when their length reaches their length limit,
but are restarted only when the size of freed range of packet buffer is
not less than the size of the largest possible packet.
This causes permanent queue stop on radio visibility loss in the middle
of ping series: there is plenty of room in the packet buffer, but it is
never freed more than 3 (size of 'best effort' queue) * 288 (ping packet
plus headers) bytes at once.
