Resolve several conflicts, mostly between changes/fixes in
wireless and the locking rework in wireless-next. One of
the conflicts actually shows a bug in wireless that we'll
want to fix separately.

Lower layer device driver stop/wake TX by calling ieee80211_stop_queue()/
ieee80211_wake_queue() while hw scan. Sometimes hw scan and PTK rekey are
running in parallel, when M4 sent from wpa_supplicant arrive while the TX
queue is stopped, then the M4 will pending send, and then new key install
from wpa_supplicant. After TX queue wake up by lower layer device driver,
the M4 will be dropped by below call stack.

When key install started, the current key flag is set KEY_FLAG_TAINTED in
ieee80211_pairwise_rekey(), and then mac80211 wait key install complete by
lower layer device driver. Meanwhile ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() will return
TX_DROP for the M4 in step 12 below, and then ieee80211_free_txskb() called
by ieee80211_tx_dequeue(), so the M4 will not send and free, then the rekey
process failed becaue AP not receive M4. Please see details in steps below.

There are a interval between KEY_FLAG_TAINTED set for current key flag and
install key complete by lower layer device driver, the KEY_FLAG_TAINTED is
set in this interval, all packet including M4 will be dropped in this
interval, the interval is step 8~13 as below.

issue steps:
      TX thread                 install key thread
1.   stop_queue                      -idle-
2.   sending M4                      -idle-
3.   M4 pending                      -idle-
4.     -idle-                  starting install key from wpa_supplicant
5.     -idle-                  =&gt;ieee80211_key_replace()
6.     -idle-                  =&gt;ieee80211_pairwise_rekey() and set
                                 currently key-&gt;flags |= KEY_FLAG_TAINTED
7.     -idle-                  =&gt;ieee80211_key_enable_hw_accel()
8.     -idle-                  =&gt;drv_set_key() and waiting key install
                                 complete from lower layer device driver
9.   wake_queue                     -waiting state-
10.  re-sending M4                  -waiting state-
11.  =&gt;ieee80211_tx_h_select_key()  -waiting state-
12.  drop M4 by KEY_FLAG_TAINTED    -waiting state-
13.    -idle-                   install key complete with success/fail
                                  success: clear flag KEY_FLAG_TAINTED
                                  fail: start disconnect

Hence add check in step 11 above to allow the EAPOL send out in the
interval. If lower layer device driver use the old key/cipher to encrypt
the M4, then AP received/decrypt M4 correctly, after M4 send out, lower
layer device driver install the new key/cipher to hardware and return
success.

If lower layer device driver use new key/cipher to send the M4, then AP
will/should drop the M4, then it is same result with this issue, AP will/
should kick out station as well as this issue.

When key install started, the current key flag is set KEY_FLAG_TAINTED in
ieee80211_pairwise_rekey(), and then mac80211 wait key install complete by
lower layer device driver. Meanwhile ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() will return
TX_DROP for the M4 in step 12 below, and then ieee80211_free_txskb() called
by ieee80211_tx_dequeue(), so the M4 will not send and free, then the rekey
process failed becaue AP not receive M4. Please see details in steps below.

There are a interval between KEY_FLAG_TAINTED set for current key flag and
install key complete by lower layer device driver, the KEY_FLAG_TAINTED is
set in this interval, all packet including M4 will be dropped in this

<content type='text'>
Support antenna control for injection by parsing the antenna
radiotap field (which may be presented multiple times) and
telling the driver about the resulting antenna bitmap. Of
course there's no guarantee the driver will actually honour
this, just like any other injection control.

If misconfigured, i.e. the injected HT/VHT MCS needs more
chains than antennas are configured, the bitmap is reset to
zero, indicating no selection.

For now this is only set up for two anntenas so we keep more
free bits, but that can be trivially extended if any driver
implements support for it that can deal with hardware with
more antennas.

We really cannot even get into this as we can't have
a BSS with a 5/10 MHz (scan) width, and therefore all
the code handling shifted rates cannot happen. Remove
it all, since it's broken anyway, at least with MLO.

We now hold the wiphy mutex everywhere that we use or
needed the sta_mtx, so we don't need this mutex any
more. Remove it.

Most of this change was done automatically with spatch.

Along with everything else, move the dynamic PS work
to be a wiphy work, to simplify locking later.

Take one more free bit to indicate it's IDR vs. internal
usage, to be able to carve out some bits here for other
internal usage, other than IDR handling with a full ACK
SKB, that is.

This really just reformats the statement, but makes it
more readable.
