As more preparation for a saner rate control algorithm API,
share the supported rates bitmap in the public API.

This patch changes mac80211 to share some more data about
stations with drivers. Should help iwlwifi and ath9k when
they get around to updating, and might also help with
implementing rate control algorithms without internals.

This patch splits off mesh handling from the STA/IBSS.
Unfortunately it increases mesh code size a bit, but I
think it makes things clearer. The patch also reduces
per-interface run-time memory usage.
Also clean up a few places where ifdef is not required.

The ieee80211_sta_tx function isn't MLME code any more,
it's getting used by a lot of code. Move it to utils and
rename it to ieee80211_tx_skb.

The action frame length checks are one too small, there's not just
an action code as the comment makes you believe, there's a category
code too, and the category code is required in each action frame
(hence part of IEEE80211_MIN_ACTION_SIZE).

This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions
with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate.
It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the
mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device.
If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since
mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway,
the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat.
This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be
converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be
provided.

As discussed earlier, we can unify locking in struct sta_info
and use just a single spinlock protecting all members of the
structure that need protection. Many don't, but one of the
especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently
be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different
CPUs at the same time.
Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive
parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills
the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one
for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this
is safe.
It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta
flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this
is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be
very simple using the new static inline functions this patch
introduces for accessing sta->flags.
Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't
be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the
same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which
is in a bh context.

Really doesn't need to be defined four times.
Also, while at it, remove a useless macro (IEEE80211_ALIGN32_PAD)
and a function prototype for a function we don't actually have
(ieee80211_set_compression.)

When STA structure insertion fails, it has been allocated but isn't
really alive yet, it isn't reachable by any other code and also can't
yet have much configured. This patch changes the code so that when
the insertion fails, the resulting STA pointer is no longer valid
because it is freed.

This patch fixes all the mesh related endianness warnings reported by sparse. As
they were the reason why Johannes marked mesh as BROKEN, that flag has been

I noticed a bug I introduced when mesh is enabled: sta_info_destroy()
will end up calling cancel_timer() on a timer that has never been
initialized because the timer is only initialized in mesh_plink_alloc(),
not in sta_info_alloc(). This patch moves the initialization of all mesh
related fields into sta_info_alloc(), adds a bit of sanity checking to
the cfg80211 handlers and sta_info_insert() and makes mesh_plink_alloc()
a static helper function that is only used from the mesh plink code.

sta_info_add() has two functions: allocating a station info
structure and inserting it into the hash table/list. Splitting
these two functions allows allocating with GFP_KERNEL in many
places instead of GFP_ATOMIC which is now required by the RCU
protection. Additionally, in many places RCU protection is now
no longer needed at all because between sta_info_alloc() and
sta_info_insert() the caller owns the structure.
This fixes a few race conditions with setting initial flags
and similar, but not all (see comments in ieee80211_sta.c and
cfg.c). More documentation on the existing races will be in
a follow-up patch.

This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect
against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the
copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it
is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is
now somewhat understandable.
This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction
by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under
RTNL and frees the key.

This inserts a missing break statement which, if hit, would cause
the code to fall-through and unlock a spinlock twice. Noticed via
sparse's "lock count wrong in basic block" warning and careful
code inspection.
