Currently, driver tracing is sometimes invoked
after and sometimes before the actual driver
callback. This is fine as long as the driver
has no tracing itself, but as soon as it does
it gets confusing.
To make traces containing such information
easier to read, introduce a return tracer in
mac80211 that essentially brackets any driver
tracing, and invoke the real trace before the
driver's callback, only showing the return
value, if any, afterwards.
Since tracing records the process, there's no
problem with overlapping calls if that should
happen.

A number of places use RCU locking for accessing

to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the
locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is
also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the
same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that.
While doing so, combine places where we loop
over stations twice, and optimise away some of
the loops by checking if the hardware supports
aggregation at all first.
Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right
now we could resume, set up an aggregation session,
and right after tear it down again due to the code
that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here.
Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as
a workaround.
Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling
loop when an interface is stopped, directly after
that we remove all stations from it which will also
disable all aggregation sessions that may still be

Reading the ELP_CTRL register with sdio_readb causes problems because

what to write when doing RAW request.
Because of the above it was not possible to wake the chip from ELP power

Fairly complex code in iwlagn_tx_status_reply_tx handle the status reports for
aggregated packet batches sent by the NIC. This code aims to handle the case
where the NIC retransmits failed packets from a previous batch; the status
information for these packets can sometimes be inserted in the middle of a
batch and are actually not in order by sequence number! (I verified this can
happen with printk's in the function.)
The code in question adaptively identifies the "first" frame of the batch,
taking into account that it may not be the one corresponding to the first agg
status report, and also handles the case when the set of sent packets wraps the
256-character entry buffer. It generates the agg->bitmap field of sent packets
which is later compared to the BlockAck response from the receiver to see which
frames of those sent in this batch were ACKed. A small logic error (wrapping by
0xff==255 instead of 0x100==256) was causing the agg->bitmap to be set
incorrectly.
Fix this wrapping code, and add extensive comments to clarify what is going on.

Compressed BlockAck frames store the ACKs/NACKs in a 64-bit bitmap that starts
at the sequence number of the first frame sent in the aggregated batch. Note
that this is a selective ACKnowledgement following selective retransmission;
e.g., if frames 1,4-5 in a batch are ACKed then the next transmission will
include frames 2-3,6-10 (7 frames). In this latter case, the Compressed
BlockAck will not have all meaningful information in the low order bits -- the
semantically meaningful bits of the BA will be 0x1f3 (where the low-order frame
is seq 2).
The driver code originally just looked at the lower (in this case, 7) bits of
the BlockAck. In this case, the lower 7 bits of 0x1f3 => only 5 packets,
maximum, could ever be ACKed. In reality it should be looking at all of the
bits, filtered by those corresponding to packets that were actually sent. This
flaw meant that the number of correctly ACked packets could be significantly
underreported and might result in asynchronous state between TX and RX sides as
well as driver and uCode.
Fix this and also add a shortcut that doesn't require the code to loop through
all 64 bits of the bitmap but rather stops when no higher packets are ACKed.
In my experiments this fix greatly reduces throughput swing, making throughput
stable and high. It is also likely related to some of the stalls observed in
aggregation mode and maybe some of the buffer underruns observed, e.g.,
