Currently dequeueing a packet and requeueing the same packet will cause a
different packet to be pulled on the next dequeue. This change forces
requeue to rewind the current_band.

If lost skb is sacked, we might have nothing to retransmit
as high as the retransmit_high is pointing to, so place
it lower to avoid unnecessary walking.
This is mainly for the case where high L'ed skbs gets sacked.

Most importantly avoid doing it with cumulative ACK. However,
since we have lost_cnt_hint in the picture as well needing
adjustments, it's not as trivial as dealing with
retransmit_skb_hint (and cannot be done in the all place we
could trivially leave retransmit_skb_hint untouched).
With the previous patch, this should mostly remove O(n^2)
behavior while cumulative ACKs start flowing once rexmit
after a lossy round-trip made it through.

This doesn't much sense here afaict, probably never has. Since
fragmenting and collapsing deal the hints by themselves, there
should be very little reason for the rexmit loop to do that.

The validity of the retransmit_high must then be ensured
if no L'ed skb exits!
This makes a minor change to behavior, we now have to

Because lost counter no longer requires tuning, this is
trivial to remove (the tuning wouldn't have been too
hard either) because no "new" retransmittable skb appeared
below retransmit_skb_hint when SACKing for sure.

I suspect it might have been related to the changed amount
of lost skbs, which was counted by retransmit_cnt_hint that
got changed.
The place for this clearing was very illogical anyway,
it should have been after the LOST-bit clearing loop to
make any sense.

Main benefit in this is that we can then freely point
the retransmit_skb_hint to anywhere we want to because
there's no longer need to know what would be the count
changes involve, and since this is really used only as a
terminator, unnecessary work is one time walk at most,
and if some retransmissions are necessary after that
point later on, the walk is not full waste of time
anyway.
Since retransmit_high must be kept valid, all lost
markers must ensure that.
Now I also have learned how those "holes" in the
rexmittable skbs can appear, mtu probe does them. So
I removed the misleading comment as well.

You can just pull up a monitor interface to get much more

dump code into the driver (which usually you will have to
do anyway to dump the driver-specific information). Hence
this option is useless.

The beacon counters mac80211 keeps are only used for debugfs,
unfortunately, they are incorrect for many hardware designs,
namely any design that has a beacon template. Hence, remove the
counters so we don't create the impression they are usable.
This also allows removing the beacon MESH #ifdef again.

Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be
from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised
because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when
those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore
indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by
passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it.
As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with
a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally.
Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all
the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have
a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface.
This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that
interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not
entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC
address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we
do now.
Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't
assign sequence numbers at all.

Currently, rfkill would stand in the way of properly supporting wireless
devices that are capable of waking the system up from sleep or hibernation
when they receive a special wireless message. It would also get in the way
of mesh devices that need to remain operational even during platform
suspend.
To avoid that, stop trying to block the transmitters on the rfkill class
suspend handler.
Drivers that need rfkill's older behaviour will have to implement it by
themselves in their own suspend handling.
Do note that rfkill *will* attempt to restore the transmitter state on
resume in any situation. This happens after the driver's resume method is
called by the suspend core (class devices resume after the devices they are
attached to have been resumed).
The following drivers need to check if they need to explicitly block
their transmitters in their own suspend handlers (maintainers Cc'd):

This patch fixes mac80211 to not rely on the rate control
algorithm to update sta->tx_retry_failed and sta->tx_retry_count
(even if we don't currently use them), removes a number of
completely unused values we don't even show in debugfs and
changes the code in ieee80211_tx_status() to not look up the
sta_info repeatedly.
The only behaviour change here would be not calling the rate
control function rate_control_tx_status() when no sta_info is
found, but all rate control algorithms ignore such calls anyway.

When we remove an interface, we can currently end up having
a pointer to it left in local->scan_sdata after it has been
set down, and then with a hardware scan the scan completion
can try to access it which is a bug. Alternatively, a scan
that started as a hardware scan may terminate as though it
was a software scan, if the timing is just right.
On SMP systems, software scan also has a similar problem,
just canceling the delayed work and setting a flag isn't
enough since it may be running concurrently; in this case
we would also never restore state of other interfaces.
This patch hopefully fixes the problems by always invoking
ieee80211_scan_completed or requiring it to be invoked by
the driver, I suspect the drivers that have ->hw_scan() are
buggy. The bug will not manifest itself unless you remove
the interface while hw-scanning which will also turn off
the hw, and then add a new interface which will be unusable
until you scan once.

When we stop an interface, the work on it may still be pending
or running. We do cancel the timer, but we do not currently
protect against the work struct. The race is very unlikely to
hit -- it'll happen only when the driver is using mac80211's
workqueue to run long-running tasks and the sta/mesh works are
delayed for quite a bit.
This patch fixes it by cancelling the work explicitly.

The timer restart is done wrongly, we shouldn't set the REQ_RUN
bit when the scan has finished if it hadn't been set before the
scan started. If the timer fires during the scan, it will set
REQ_RUN and then we can run the work for it, if it didn't fire
then we shouldn't run its work either.
