<title>mac80211: move dot11 counters under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS</title>

Since these counters can only be read through debugfs, there's
very little point in maintaining them all the time. However,
even just making them depend on debugfs is pointless - they're
not normally used. Additionally a number of them aren't even
concurrency safe.

Move them under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS so they're normally
not even compiled in.

Allow debug builds to configure the station hash table maximum
size in order to run with hash collisions in limited scenarios
such as hwsim testing. The default remains 0 which effectively
means no limit.

also use software-implementation within mac80211 when the driver does
not support this with hardware accelaration.

<title>mac80211: 802.11p OCB mode support</title>

<id>239281f803e2efdb77d906ef296086b6917e5d71</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode
support.

When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID
(48 '1' bits) is used.

The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support
802.11p specific values.

The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way
as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion.

The OCB mode uses a periodic 'housekeeping task' for expiration of
disconnected STAs (in the similar manner as in the MESH mode).

New Kconfig option for verbose OCB debugging outputs is added.

<title>mac80211: minstrel_ht: add basic support for VHT rates &lt;= 3SS@80MHz</title>

When the new CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT is not set (default 'N'),
there is no behavioral change including in sampling and MCS_GROUP_RATES
remains 8.
Otherwise MCS_GROUP_RATES is 10, and a module parameter *vht_only*
(default 'true'), restricts the rates selection to VHT when VHT is
supported.

Regarding the debugfs stats buffer:
It is explicitly increased from 8k to 32k to fit every rates incl. when
both HT and VHT rates are enabled, as for the format, before:

Process the CSA frame according to the procedures define in IEEE Std
802.11-2012 section 10.9.8.4.3 as follow:
* The mesh channel switch parameters element (MCSP) must be availabe.
* If the MCSP's TTL is 1, drop the frame but still process the CSA.
* If the MCSP's precedence value is less than or equal to the current
  precedence value, drop the frame and do not process the CSA.
* The CSA frame is forwarded after TTL is decremented by 1 and the
  initiator field is set to 0. Transmit restrict field and others
  are maintained as is.
* No beacon or probe response frame are handled here.

Also, introduce the debug message used for mesh CSA purpose.

Use the generic CCM aead chaining mode driver rather than a local
implementation that sits right on top of the core AES cipher.

This allows the use of accelerated implementations of either

Add routines to
- maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode
- indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames
- track neighbor STAs power modes
- buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode
- add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons
- release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods

Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power
mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer
link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh
config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor
changes.
Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the
non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated
mesh peering is currently not working when either node is
configured to be in power save mode.

Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS
Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions.
For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame
flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA
pointer is already available.

Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific
power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to
represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations.
Track power modes based on received frames.

Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS
neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer).

Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame
buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer
and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons.

Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or
deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE
similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received
Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames.

Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use
the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status.
Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end
the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and
show large delay spikes and frame losses.

Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS
neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer).

Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame
buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer
and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons.

Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or
deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE
similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received
Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames.

Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use
the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status.
Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end
the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and
show large delay spikes and frame losses.
