The station MLME and IBSS/mesh ones use entirely different
code for interpreting HT and VHT operation elements. Change
the code that interprets them a bit - it now modifies an
existing chandef - and use it also in the MLME code.

During a sw scan ieee80211_iface_work ignores work items for all vifs.
However after the scan complete work is requeued only for STA, ADHOC
and MESH iftypes.
This occasionally results in event processing getting delayed/not
processed for iftype AP when it coexists with a STA. This can result
in data halt and eventually disconnection on the AP interface.

When 11n peers performs a TDLS connection on a legacy BSS, the HT
operation IE must be specified according to IEEE802.11-2012 section
9.23.3.2. Otherwise HT-protection is compromised and the medium becomes
noisy for both the TDLS and the BSS links.

Both wpa_supplicant and mac80211 have and inactivity timer. By default
wpa_supplicant will be timed out in 5 minutes and mac80211's it is 30
minutes. If wpa_supplicant uses a longer timer than mac80211, it will
get unexpected disconnection by mac80211.
Using 0xffffffff instead as the configured value could solve this w/o
changing the code, but due to integer overflow in the expression used
this doesn't work. The expression is:
(current jiffies) > (frame Rx jiffies + NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT * 250)
On 32bit system, the right side would overflow and be a very small
value if NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT is sufficiently large,
causing unexpectedly early disconnections.
Instead allow disabling the inactivity timer to avoid this situation,
by passing the (previously invalid and useless) value 0.

If we are switching from an HT40+ to an HT40- channel (or vice-versa),
we need the secondary channel offset IE to specify what is the
post-CSA offset to be used. This applies both to beacons and to probe
responses.
In ieee80211_parse_ch_switch_ie() we were ignoring this IE from
beacons and using the *current* HT information IE instead. This was
causing us to use the same offset as before the switch.
Fix that by using the secondary channel offset IE also for beacons and
don't ever use the pre-switch offset. Additionally, remove the
"beacon" argument from ieee80211_parse_ch_switch_ie(), since it's not
needed anymore.

Having csa counters part of beacon and probe_resp
structures makes it easier to get rid of possible
races between setting a beacon and updating
counters on SMP systems by guaranteeing counters
are always consistent against given beacon struct.
While at it relax WARN_ON into WARN_ON_ONCE to
prevent spamming logs and racing.

A beacon should never have a Channel Switch Announcement information
element with a count of 0, because a count of 1 means switch just
before the next beacon. So, if a count of 0 was valid in a beacon, it
would have been transmitted in the next channel already, which is
useless. A CSA count equal to zero is only meaningful in action
frames or probe_responses.
Fix the ieee80211_csa_is_complete() and ieee80211_update_csa()
functions accordingly.
With a CSA count of 0, we won't transmit any CSA beacons, because the
switch will happen before the next TBTT. To avoid extra work and
potential confusion in the drivers, complete the CSA immediately,
instead of waiting for the driver to call ieee80211_csa_finish().
To keep things simpler, we also switch immediately when the CSA count
is 1, while in theory we should delay the switch until just before the
next TBTT.
Additionally, move the ieee80211_csa_finish() function to cfg.c,
where it makes more sense.

This regression was introduced in "mac80211: cache mesh
beacon".
mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt() was assuming that the
beacon would be rebuilt in every single pre-tbtt
interrupt, but now the beacon update happens on the
workqueue, and it must be ready for immediate delivery to
the driver.
Save a pointer to the meshconf IE in the beacon_data (this
works because both the IE pointer and beacon buffer are
protected by the same rcu_{dereference,assign_pointer}())
for quick updates during pre-tbtt. This is faster and a
little prettier than iterating over the elements to find
the meshconf IE every time.

There is no reason why we should have only one channel switch
announcement at a time for a single phy. When support for channel
switch with multiple contexts and multiple vifs per context is
implemented, we will need the chandef data for each vif. Move the

Mesh STA receiving the mesh CSA action frame is not able to trigger
the mesh channel switch due to the incorrect handling and comparison
of mesh channel switch parameters element (MCSP)'s TTL. Make sure
the MCSP's TTL is updated accordingly before calling the
ieee80211_mesh_process_chnswitch. Also, we update the beacon before
forwarding the CSA action frame, so MCSP's precedence value and
initiator flag need to be updated prior to this.

There are some rates in reduced bandwidth modes which can't be

Using separate locks in cfg80211 and mac80211 has always
caused issues, for example having to unlock in places in
mac80211 to call cfg80211, which even needed a framework
to make cfg80211 calls after some functions returned etc.
Additionally, I suspect some issues people have reported
with the cfg80211 state getting confused could be due to
such issues, when cfg80211 is asking mac80211 to change
state but mac80211 is in the process of telling cfg80211
