2011-11-09cfg80211/mac80211: allow management TX to not wait for ACKJohannes Berg
For probe responses it can be useful to not wait for ACK to avoid retransmissions if the station that sent the probe is already on the next channel, so allow userspace to request not caring about the ACK with a new nl80211 flag.

2011-11-09mac80211: add helper to free TX skbJohannes Berg

2011-11-09mac80211: simplify mesh frame queue mapping and QoSJavier Cardona
We only need to set the skb queue twice: 1. by the netdev, on local TX. 2. when forwarding a mesh frame. We only need to set the qos header twice: 1. by mac80211, on local TX. 2. when putting a frame on the mpath->frame_queue We also don't need the RA in order to set the proper queue mapping since all mesh STAs are QoS, indicate this and do it once when the frame is received. Also fixes an issue where the QoS header and queue mapping was not set for unicast forwarded frames.

2011-11-09mac80211: check if frame is really part of this BAThomas Pedersen
There was an an implicit assumption that any QoS data frame received from a STA/TID with an active BA session was sent to this vif as part of a BA. This is not true if IFF_PROMISC is enabled and the frame was destined for a different peer, for example. Don't treat these frames as part of a BA from the sending STA.

2011-11-09mac80211: QoS multicast frames have No Ack policyThomas Pedersen
Previously QoS multicast frames had the Normal Acknowledgment QoS control bits set. This would cause broadcast frames to be discarded by peers with which we have a BA session, since their sequence number would fall outside the allowed range. Set No Ack QoS control bits on multicast QoS frames and filter these in de-aggregation code.

2011-11-09mac80211: Avoid filling up mesh preq queue with redundant requestsJavier Cardona
Don't accept redundant PREQs for a given destination. This fixes a problem under high load: kernel: [20386.250913] mesh_queue_preq: 235 callbacks suppressed kernel: [20386.253335] Mesh HWMP (mesh0): PREQ node queue full kernel: [20386.253352] Mesh HWMP (mesh0): PREQ node queue full (...) The 802.11s protocol has a provision to limit the rate of path requests (PREQs) are transmitted (dot11MeshHWMPpreqMinInterval) but there was no limit on the rate at which PREQs were being queued up. There is a valid reason for queuing PREQs: this way we can even out PREQ bursts. But queueing multiple PREQs for the same destination is useless.

When receiving failed PLCP frames is enabled, there won't be a rate pointer when we add the radiotap header and thus the kernel will crash. Fix this by not assuming the rate pointer is always valid. It's still always valid for frames that have good PLCP though, and that is checked & enforced.
