When a new wimax_dev is created, it's state has to be __WIMAX_ST_NULL
until wimax_dev_add() is succesfully called. This allows calls into
the stack that happen before said time to be rejected.
Until now, the state was being set (by mistake) to UNINITIALIZED,
which was allowing calls such as wimax_report_rfkill_hw() to go
through even when a call to wimax_dev_add() had failed; that was
causing an oops when touching uninitialized data.
This situation is normal when the device starts reporting state before
the whole initialization has been completed. It just has to be dealt
with.

We are currently processing block ack reordering as a separate task
before all other RX handlers. In theory, this is wrong since this step
should be done only after duplicate removal (see Figure 6-1 in IEEE
802.11n). However, moving this needs some work and the current
situation is not too bad. Add a comment here so that this small detail
does not get forgotten and who knows, maybe someone has some extra

This patch allows skbs to be released from the RX reorder buffer in
case they have been there for an unexpectedly long time without us
having received the missing frames before them. Previously, these
frames were only released when the reorder window moved and that could
take very long time unless new frames were received constantly (e.g.,
TCP connections could be killed more or less indefinitely).
This situation should not happen very frequently, but it looks like
there are some scenarious that trigger it for some reason. As such,
this should be considered mostly a workaround to speed up recovery
from unexpected siutation that could result in connections hanging for
long periods of time.
The changes here will only check for timeout situation when adding new
RX frames to the reorder buffer. It does not handle all possible
cases, but seems to help for most cases that could result from common
network usage (e.g., TCP retrying at least couple of times). For more
completely coverage, a timer could be used to periodically check
whether there are any frames remaining in the reorder buffer if no new
frames are received.

When we aren't doing anything in mac80211, we can turn off
much of the hardware, depending on the driver/hw. Not doing
anything, aka being idle, means:
* no monitor interfaces
* no AP/mesh/wds interfaces
* any station interfaces are in DISABLED state
* any IBSS interfaces aren't trying to be in a network
* we aren't trying to scan
By creating a new function that verifies these conditions and calling
it at strategic points where the states of those conditions change,
we can easily make mac80211 tell the driver when we are idle to save
power.
Additionally, this fixes a small quirk where a recalculated powersave
state is passed to the driver even if the hardware is about to stopped
completely.
This patch intentionally doesn't touch radio_enabled because that is
currently implemented to be a soft rfkill which is inappropriate here
when we need to be able to wake up with low latency.
One thing I'm not entirely sure about is this:
phy0: device no longer idle - in use
wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d try 1
wlan0 direct probe responded
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d
wlan0: authenticated
> phy0: device now idle
> phy0: device no longer idle - in use
wlan0: associate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d
wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:11:24:91:07:4d (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1)
wlan0: associated
Is it appropriate to go into idle state for a short time when we have
just authenticated, but not associated yet? This happens only with the
userspace SME, because we cannot really know how long it will wait
before asking us to associate. Would going idle after a short timeout
be more appropriate? We may need to revisit this, depending on what
happens.

Due to the use of a _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE bit, which is
unnecessary (and I wonder why it was done that way),
an interesting situation can arise:
1) we try to probe an access point
2) the AP doesn't response in time
3) we tell userspace that we gave up
4) the AP suddenly responds
5) we auth/assoc with the AP
I've seen 4) happen in testing with hostapd SIGSTOPped,
and when SIGCONTinued it processes the probe requests
that came in and send responses. But 5) is not supposed
to happen after we tell everybody we've given up on the
AP.
To fix this, remove the _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE request bit,
and process probe responses when we're in the relevant
MLME state, namely IEEE80211_STA_MLME_DIRECT_PROBE.

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.
This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all

There are some places marked
/* XXX maybe racy? */
and they really are racy because there's no locking.
This patch reworks much of the scan code, and introduces proper
locking for the scan request as well as the internal scanning
(which is necessary for IBSS/managed modes). Helper functions
are added to call the scanning code whenever necessary. The
scan deferring is changed to simply queue the scanning work
instead of trying to start the scan in place, the scanning work
will then take care of the rest.
Also, currently when internal scans are requested for an interface
that is trying to associate, we reject such scans. This was not
intended, the mlme code has provisions to scan twice when it can't
find the BSS to associate with right away; this has never worked
properly. Fix this by not rejecting internal scan requests for an
interface that is associating.

(1 << 32) is 1. Thus, the checking fails.
BTW, I said this before but I insist: I have only tested the cluster

Due to a semantic changes in flush_workqueue() the current approach of
synchronizing the sysfs handling for connections doesn't work anymore. The
whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are
no longer valid.
With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level
ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past
two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs
devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the
host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So
the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host.
The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device
handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access
to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix
this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized
when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only
registered when the connection has been successfully established. To
avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is
registered has been moved into the removal work.
As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to
make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.
