2154c81c32 mac80211: Mesh data frames must have the QoS header
Per sec 7.1.3.5 of draft 12.0 of 802.11s, mesh frames indicate the
presence of the mesh control header in their QoS header.

4777be4163 mac80211: Start implementing QoS support for mesh interfaces
In order to support QoS in mesh, we need to assign queue mapping only
after the next hop has been resolved, both for forwarded and locally
originated frames.  Also, now that this is fixed, remove the XXX comment
in ieee80211_select_queue().

Also, V-Shy Ho reported that the queue mapping was not being applied to
the forwarded frame (fwd_skb instead of skb).  Fixed that as well.

4c5ade4149 mac80211: handle allocation failures in mesh_pathtbl_init()
The calls to kzalloc() weren't checked here and it upsets the static
checkers.  Obviously they're not super likely to fail, but we might
as well add some error handling.

Since a v1 of the mesh gate series was accidentally applied, this patch
contains the changes in v2.

	- use TU_TO_EXP_TIME macro.
	- initialize timer instead of checking for NULL timer function.
	- cleanups.

5ee68e5b39 mac80211: mesh gate implementation
In this implementation, a mesh gate is a root node with a certain bit
set in its RANN flags. The mpath to this root node is marked as a path
to a gate, and added to our list of known gates for this if_mesh. Once a
path discovery process fails, we forward the unresolved frames to a
known gate. Thanks to Luis Rodriguez for refactoring and bug fix help.

349eb8cf45 mac80211: annotate and fix RCU in mesh code
This adds proper RCU annotations to the mesh path
table code, and fixes a number of bugs in the code
that I found while checking the sparse warnings I
got as a result of the annotations.

Some things like the changes in mesh_path_add() or
mesh_pathtbl_init() only serve to shut up sparse,
but other changes like the changes surrounding the
for_each_mesh_entry() macro fix real RCU bugs in
the code.

1928ecab62 mac80211: fix and simplify mesh locking
The locking in mesh_{mpath,mpp}_table_grow not only
has an rcu_read_unlock() missing, it's also racy
(though really only technically since it's invoked
from a single function only) since it obtains the
new size of the table without any locking, so two
invocations of the function could attempt the same
resize.

Additionally, it uses synchronize_rcu() which is
rather expensive and can be avoided trivially here.

Modify the functions to only use the table lock
and use call_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu().

that value from changing between table allocation and copying.  We have

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

47846c9b0c mac80211: reduce reliance on netdev
For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have
a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so
prepare for that by reducing the reliance on
having a netdev. This patch moves the name
and address fields into the sdata struct and
uses them from there all over. Some work is
needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not
a lot of work and in slow paths anyway.

In doing so, this also reduces the number of
pointer dereferences in many places, because
of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming
sdata->vif.addr.

all-ones so there's no need to use it; we can
instead hard-code it. Since we already have an
instance in tkip.c, which will be shared if it
is marked static const, doing this reduces text
size at no data/bss cost.

The real motivation for this is, of course, the
desire to get rid of almost all uses of netdevs
in mac80211 so that auditing their use becomes
easier.

18889231e4 mac80211: Move mpath and mpp growth to mesh workqueue.
This prevents calling rcu_synchronize from within the tx path by moving the
table growth code to the mesh workqueue.

Move mesh_table_free and mesh_table_grow from mesh.c to mesh_pathtbl.c and
declare them static.

Also, re-enable mesh in Kconfig and update the configuration description.

f5ea9120be nl80211: add generation number to all dumps
In order for userspace to be able to figure out whether
it obtained a consistent snapshot of data or not when
using netlink dumps, we need to have a generation number
in each dump message that indicates whether the list has
changed or not -- its value is arbitrary.

This patch adds such a number to all dumps, this needs
some mac80211 involvement to keep track of a generation
number to start with when adding/removing mesh paths or
stations.

The wiphy and netdev lists can be fully handled within
cfg80211, of course, but generation numbers need to be
stored there as well.

249b405cf8 mac80211: Fix regression in mesh forwarding path.
The removal of the master netdev broke the mesh forwarding path.  This patch
fixes it by using the new internal 'pending' queue.

As a result of this change, mesh forwarding no longer does the inefficient
802.11 -> 802.3 -> 802.11 conversion that was done before.

[Changes since v1]
Suggested by Johannes:
 - Select queue before adding to mpath queue
 - ieee80211_add_pending_skb -> ieee80211_add_pending_skbs
 - Remove unnecessary header wme.h
