Felix Fietkau fbb327c594 mac80211: drop non-auth 3-addr data frames when running as a 4-addr station
When running as a 4-addr station against an AP that has the 4-addr VLAN
interface and the main 3-addr AP interface bridged together, sometimes
frames originating from the station were looping back from the 3-addr AP
interface, causing the bridge code to emit warnings about receiving frames
with its own source address.
I'm not sure why this is happening yet, but I think it's a good idea to
drop all frames (except 802.1x/EAP frames) that do not match the configured
addressing mode, including 4-address frames sent to a 3-address station.
User test reports indicate that the problem goes away with this patch.

Johannes Berg 5dd36bc933 mac80211: allow advertising correct maximum aggregate size
Currently, mac80211 always advertises that it may send
up to 64 subframes in an aggregate. This is fine, since
it's the max, but might as well be set to zero instead
since it doesn't have any information.

However, drivers might have that information, so allow
them to set a variable giving it, which will then be
used. The default of zero will be fine since to the
peer that means we don't know and it will just use its
own limit for the buffer size.

Johannes Berg 0b01f030d3 mac80211: track receiver's aggregation reorder buffer size
The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the
buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max
buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as
the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0
instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it
isn't possible to honour this request.

In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the
addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to
the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called
with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That
way the driver can limit the number of subframes in
aggregates appropriately.

Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the
addition of the new argument -- they all need to be
updated separately to use this variable!

Ben Greear 4801416c76 ath9k: Fix up hardware mode and beacons with multiple vifs.
When using a mixture of AP and Station interfaces,
the hardware mode was using the type of the
last VIF registered.  Instead, we should keep track
of the number of different types of vifs and set the
mode accordingly.

In addtion, use the vif type instead of hardware opmode
when dealing with beacons.

Attempt to move some of the common setup code into smaller
methods so we can re-use it when changing vif mode as
well as adding/deleting vifs.

Felix Fietkau 115dad7a7f ath9k_hw: partially revert "fix dma descriptor rx error bit parsing"
The rx error bit parsing was changed to consider PHY errors and various
decryption errors separately. While correct according to the documentation,
this is causing spurious decryption error reports in some situations.

Fix this by restoring the original order of the checks in those places,
where the errors are meant to be mutually exclusive.

If a CRC error is reported, then MIC failure and decryption errors
are irrelevant, and a PHY error is unlikely.

Felix Fietkau 8b3f4616d4 ath9k: reduce the likelihood of baseband hang check false positives
Since baseband hangs are rare, but the hang check function has a high
false positive rate in some situations, we need to add more reliable
indicators.

In AP mode we can use blocked beacon transmissions as an indicator,
they should be rare enough.

In station mode, we can skip the hang check entirely, since a true
hang will trigger beacon loss detection, and mac80211 will rescan,
which leads to a hw reset that will bring the hardware back to life.

To make this more reliable, we need to skip fast channel changes
if the hardware appears to be stuck.

Aurelien Jarno 79aa18d557 MIPS: Malta: enable Cirrus FB console
While most users of a physical Malta board are using the serial port
as the console, a lot of QEMU users would prefer to interact with a
graphical console. Enable the Cirrus FB support in the Malta default
configuration to make that possible. Note that the default console will
still be the serial port, users have to pass "console=tty0" to the
kernel to use the Cirrus FB.

David Daney 1befdd5536 MIPS: Implement __read_mostly
Just do what everyone else is doing by placing __read_mostly things in
the .data.read_mostly section.

mips_io_port_base can not be read-only (const) and writable
(__read_mostly) at the same time.  One of them has to go, so I chose
to eliminate the __read_mostly.  It will still get stuck in a portion
of memory that is not adjacent to things that are written, and thus
not be on a dirty cache line, for whatever that is worth.
