[ Upstream commit dc1aca22f8f38b7e2ad7b118db87404d11e68771 ]

TDLS discovery response frame is a unicast direct frame to the peer.
Since we don't have a STA for this peer, this frame goes through
iwl_tx_skb_non_sta(). As the result aux_sta and some completely
arbitrary queue would be selected for this frame, resulting in a queue
hang.  Fix that by sending such frames through AP sta instead.

[ Upstream commit 8c7fd6a365eb5b2647b2c01918730d0a485b9f85 ]

In the past, we needed to program the keys when entering D3. This was
since we replaced the image. However, now that there is a single
image, this is no longer needed.  Note that RSC is sent separately in
a new command.  This solves issues with newer devices that support PN
offload. Since driver re-sent the keys, the PN got zeroed and the
receiver dropped the next packets, until PN caught up again.

[ Upstream commit 1a19c139be18ed4d6d681049cc48586fae070120 ]

When we receive TX response, we may release a few packets
due to a hole that was closed in the transmission window.

However, if that frame failed, we will mark all the released
frames as failed and will send multiple BARs.

This affects statistics badly, and cause unnecessary frames
transmission.

Instead, mark all the following packets as success, with the
desired result of sending a bar for the failed frame only.

commit 87e7e25aee6b59fef740856f4e86d4b60496c9e1 upstream.

In order to remember how to unmap a memory (as single or
as page), we maintain a bit per Transmit Buffer (TBs) in
the meta data (structure iwl_cmd_meta).
We maintain a bitmap: 1 bit per TB.
If the TB is set, we will free the memory as a page.
This bitmap was never cleared. Fix this.

commit 3b57a10ca14c619707398dc58fe5ece18c95b20b upstream.

Sometimes the register status can include interrupts that
were masked. We can, for example, get the RF-Kill bit set
in the interrupt status register although this interrupt
was masked. Then if we get the ALIVE interrupt (for example)
that was not masked, we need to *not* service the RF-Kill
interrupt.
Fix this in the MSI-X interrupt handler.

[ Upstream commit ac70499ee97231a418dc1a4d6c9dc102e8f64631 ]

In some buggy scenarios we could possible attempt to transmit frames larger
than maximum MSDU size. Since our devices don't know how to handle this,
it may result in asserts, hangs etc.
This can happen, for example, when we receive a large multicast frame
and try to transmit it back to the air in AP mode.
Since in a legal scenario this should never happen, drop such frames and
warn about it.

Allocator swaps the pending requests with 0 when it starts
working. This means that relying on it n RX path to decide if
to move to emergency is not always a good idea, since it may
be zero, but there are still a lot of unallocated RBs in the
system. Change allocator to decrement the pending requests on
real time. It is more expensive since it accesses the atomic
variable more times, but it gives the RX path a better idea

commit 82715ac71e6b94a2c2136e31f3a8e6748e33aa8c upstream.

When the firmware starts, it doesn't have any regulatory
information, hence it uses the world wide limitations. The
driver can feed the firmware with previous knowledge that
was kept in the driver, but the firmware may still not
update its internal tables.

This happens when we start a BSS interface, and then the
firmware can change the regulatory tables based on our
location and it'll use more lenient, location specific
rules. Then, if the firmware is shut down (when the
interface is brought down), and then an AP interface is
created, the firmware will forget the country specific
rules.

The host will think that we are in a certain country that
may allow channels and will try to teach the firmware about
our location, but the firmware may still not allow to drop
the world wide limitations and apply country specific rules
because it was just re-started.

In this case, the firmware will reply with MCC_RESP_ILLEGAL
to the MCC_UPDATE_CMD. In that case, iwlwifi needs to let
the upper layers (cfg80211 / hostapd) know that the channel
list they know about has been updated.

the average beacon RSSI. Enable the sta_statistics() call
