<title>rt2x00: provide separate information about TXWI &amp; RXWI sizes</title>

<content type='text'>
On new 2800 hardware sizes of TXWI &amp; RXIW can be different than TXD
&amp; RXD sizes, so we need to difference between them. Let's define
winfo_size as size of in buffer descriptor (TXWI &amp; RXWI), and desc_size
of as size of additional descriptor - in separate DMA coherent buffer
for PCI hardware (TXD &amp; RXD) and yet another in buffer descriptor for
USB hardware (TXINFO &amp; RXINFO).

Change is rt2x00 wild, but should affect only 2800 driver.

Patch also fix beaconing for 5592usb AP mode.

Instead of modifying the HT SMPS capability field
for stations, track the SMPS mode explicitly in a
new field in the station struct and use it in the
drivers that care about it. This simplifies the
code using it.

<title>rt2x00: Improve TX status handling for BlockAckReq frames</title>

<id>84e9e8ebd369679a958200a8baca96aafb2393bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Since rt2800 hardware isn't capable of reporting the TX status of
BlockAckReq frames implement the TX status handling of BARs in
rt2x00lib. We keep track of all BARs that are send out and try to
match incoming BAs to the appropriate BARs. This allows us to report a
more or less accurate TX status for BAR frames which in turn improves
BA session stability.

This is loosley based on Christian Lamparter's patch for carl9170
"carl9170: fix HT peer BA session corruption".

We have to walk the list of pending BARs for every rx'red BA even
though most BAs don't belong to any of these BARs as they are just
acknowledging an AMPDU. To keep that overhead low use RCU which allows
us to walk the list of pending BARs without the need to acquire a lock.
This however requires us to _copy_ relevant information from the BAR
(RA, TA, control field, start sequence number) into our BAR list entry.

Remove the control.sta pointer from ieee80211_tx_info to free up
sufficient space in the TX skb control buffer for the upcoming
Transmit Power Control (TPC).
Instead, the pointer is now on the stack in a new control struct
that is passed as a function parameter to the drivers' tx method.

Remove spinlock as atomic_t can be used instead. Note we use only 16
lower bits, upper bits are changed but we impilcilty cast to u16.

This fix possible deadlock on IBSS mode reproted by lockdep:
