If the RFkill interrupt fires while we calibrate, it would
make the firmware fail and the driver wasn't able to recover.
Change the flow so that the driver will kill the firmware
in that case.
Since we have now two flows that are calling
trans_stop_device (the RFkill interrupt and the
op_mode_mvm_start function) - we need to better sync this.
Use the STATUS_DEVICE_ENABLED in the pcie transport in an
atomic way to achieve this.

During 11n RX reordering, if there is a hole in RX table,
driver will not send packets to kernel until the rxreorder
timer expires or the table is full.
However, currently driver always restarts rxreorder timer when
receiving a packet, which causes the timer hardly to expire.
So while connected with to 11n AP in a busy environment,
ping packets may get blocked for about 30 seconds.
This patch fixes this timer restarting by ensuring rxreorder timer
would only be restarted either timer is not set or start_win

When mac80211 wants to ensure that a frame is sent, it calls
the flush() callback. Until now, iwldvm implemented this by
waiting that all the frames are sent (ACKed or timeout).
In case of weak signal, this can take a significant amount
of time, delaying the next connection (in case of roaming).
Many users have reported that the flush would take too long
leading to the following error messages to be printed:
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: fail to flush all tx fifo queues Q 2
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Current SW read_ptr 161 write_ptr 201
iwl data: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 fe ff 01 00 00 00 00 00
[snip]
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: FH TRBs(0) = 0x00000000
[snip]
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Q 0 is active and mapped to fifo 3 ra_tid 0x0000 [9,9]
[snip]
Instead of waiting for these packets, simply drop them. This
significantly improves the responsiveness of the network.
Note that all the queues are flushed, but the VO one. This
is not typically used by the applications and it likely
contains management frames that are useful for connection
or roaming.

Many AP devices do not have the proper regulatory domain programmed in
EEPROM. Instead they expect the software to set the appropriate region.
For these devices, the country code defaults to US, and the driver uses
the US CTL tables as well.
On devices bought in Europe this can lead to tx power being set too high
on the band edges, even if the cfg80211 regdomain is set correctly.

EEPROM regdomain is set to default.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Most notable changes in here:
1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is
the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
several individuals.
Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.
skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.
There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
software is now done with no locks held.
Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
be used to test a multi-send implementation.
Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
virtio_net
Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
support this optimization soon.
I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.
2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.
3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From
Govindarajulu Varadarajan.
4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
Florian Fainelli.
5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the
necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric

6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom

7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
Fainelli.
8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.
9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John
Fastabend.
10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
Duyck.
11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric

When a channel context is removed, the hw_queue_base
is set to -1, this will result in a panic because
ath9k_chanctx_stop_queues() can be called on an interface
that is not assigned to any context yet - for example,
when trying to scan.
Fix this issue by setting the hw_queue_base to zero
when a channel context is removed.

Currently the allowed "respose rate" set (rates for HW generated frames
like ACKs) is the same as the basic rate set.
The HW will use the higher allowed response rate that is lower than the
rate of the received frame.
This is more or less what IEEE80211 mandates, but I missed the fact
that IEEE80211 also says that whenever it happens that for a modulation
class there is no any rate in the basic rates set, then the response rate
set shall include also all the mandatory rates for that modulation class.
This patch adds mandatory OFDM rates to the allowed response rate set if
no OFDM rate is included in the basic rate set.
Depending by the AP, I faced cases in which this patch seems to cause a
noticeable perfomance improvement.
- With my usual test AP there is no particular perfomance difference.
- With a prism54/hostapd AP this patch causes RX thoughput increase from
about 5Mbps to about 20Mbps.
Hopefully this patch may help people that faced performance regression wrt
the old staging driver.
