This flow happens when we get a failed single Tx response
on an AMPDU queue. In this case, the frame won't be sent
any more. So we need to move the window on the recipient
side. This is done by a BAR.
Now if we are in the following case: 10, 12 and 13 are ACKed
and 11 isn't.
10 11 12 13.
V X V V
Then, 11 will be sent 16 times as an MPDU (as oppsed to
A-MPDU). If this failed, we are entering the flow described
above. So we need to send a BAR with ssn = 12.
But in this case, the scheduler will tell us to free frames
up to 13 (included).
So, it is perfectly possible to get a failed single Tx
response on an AMPDU queue that makes the scheduler's ssn
jump by more than 1 single packet.

Given a device with many channels capabilities the wiphy
information can still overflow even though its size in
3.9 was reduced to 3.8 levels. For new userspace and
kernel 3.10 we're going to implement a new "split dump"
protocol that can use multiple messages per wiphy.
For now though, add a workaround to be able to send more
information to userspace. Since generic netlink doesn't
have a way to set the minimum dump size globally, and we
wouldn't really want to set it globally anyway, increase
the size only when needed, as described in the comments.
As userspace might not be prepared for large buffers, we
can only use 4k.
Also increase the size for the get_wiphy command.

Recently in commit 8a964f44e0
("iwlwifi: always copy first 16 bytes of commands") we fixed
the problem that the hardware writes back to the command and
that could overwrite parts of the data that was still needed
and would thus be corrupted.
Investigating this problem more closely we found that this
write-back isn't really ordered very well with respect to
other DMA traffic. Therefore, it sometimes happened that the
write-back occurred after unmapping the command again which
is clearly an issue and could corrupt the next allocation
that goes to that spot, or (better) cause IOMMU faults.
To fix this, allocate coherent memory for the first 16 bytes
of each command, containing the write-back part, and use it
for all queues. All the dynamic DMA mappings only need to be
TO_DEVICE then. This ensures that even when the write-back
happens "too late" it can't hit memory that has been freed
or a mapping that doesn't exist any more.
Since now the actual command is no longer modified, we can
also remove CMD_WANT_HCMD and get rid of the DMA sync that
was necessary to update the scratch pointer.

Supporting 8K A-MSDU means that we need to allocate order 1
pages for every Rx packet. Even when there is no traffic.
This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of
compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager
and not using them will make the allocation code run faster
although I didn't really measure.
Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little
data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since
the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP
to have a big Rx window.
See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details.
Note that very few vendors will actually send A-MSDU.

The reason we mapped them bidirectionally was that not doing
so had caused IOMMU exceptions, due to the fact that the HW
writes back into the command. Now that the first part of the
command including the write-back part is always in the first
buffer, we don't need to map the remaining buffer(s) bidi
and can get rid of the special-casing for commands.

On many different chips, important aspects of the MAC state are not

On AR933x, the chip can occasionally get stuck in a way that only a
driver unload/reload or a reboot would bring it back to life.
With this patch, a full reset is issued when bringing the chip out of
FULL-SLEEP state (after idle), or if either Rx or Tx was not shut down
properly. This makes the DMA related error messages disappear completely
in my tests on AR933x, and the chip does not get stuck anymore.

When stations are removed while packets are in the queue,
we drain the queues first, and then remove the stations.
If this happens in AP mode while the interface is removed
the MAC context might be removed from the firmware before
we removed the station(s), resulting in a SYSASSERT 3421.
This is because we remove the MAC context from the FW in
stop_ap(), but only flush the station drain work later in
remove_interface().
Refactor the code a bit to have a common MAC context
removal preparation first to solve this.

The FH hardware will always write back to the scratch field
in commands, even host commands not just TX commands, which
can overwrite parts of the command. This is problematic if
the command is re-used (with IWL_HCMD_DFL_NOCOPY) and can
cause calibration issues.
Address this problem by always putting at least the first
16 bytes into the buffer we also use for the command header
and therefore make the DMA engine write back into this.
For commands that are smaller than 16 bytes also always map
enough memory for the DMA engine to write back to.
