The /sys/class/net/*/wireless/ direcory is, as far as I know, not
used by anyone. Additionally, the same data is available via wext
ioctls. Hence the sysfs files are pretty much useless. This patch
makes them optional and schedules them for removal.

According to 802.11-2007, we are doing the wrong thing in the
sequence number checks when receiving frames. This fixes it.

This patch fixes the check at the entrance to ieee80211_rx_reorder_ampdu.
This check has been broken by 'mac80211: rx.c use new helpers'.
Letting QoS NULL packet in ieee80211_rx_reorder_ampdu led to packet loss in
RX.

This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling
to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always
require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally,
it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call
to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it
removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of
having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

This patch pushes the "netif_running()" and "same type as before"
checks down into ieee80211_if_change_type() to centralise the
logic instead of duplicating it for cfg80211 and wext.

This patch revamps the virtual interface handling and makes the
code much easier to follow. Fewer functions, better names, less
spaghetti code.

Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer
pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however,
is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having
it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they
have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode
virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control
data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power
saving stations.)
Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev
be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on
the list of interfaces either.
This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now
- no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which
lets me remove a lot of tests for that
- no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used
Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling
that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but
in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they
point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging
code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called
on the master netdev any more.

Accesses are mostly structured such that when there are multiple TX
queues the code transformations will be a little bit simpler.

Only plain netif_schedule() remains taking a net_device, mostly as a
compatability item while we transition the rest of these interfaces.
Everything else calls netif_schedule_queue() or __netif_schedule(),
both of which take a netdev_queue pointer.

First, we add a qdisc_tx_changing() helper which returns true if the
qdisc attachment is in transition.
Second, we remove an assertion warning which is of limited value and
is hard to express precisely in a multiqueue environment.

It just wants the root qdisc given an arbitrary qdisc,
and that is simply qdisc->dev_queue->qdisc

Now that our qdisc management is bi-directional, per-queue, and fully
orthogonal, there is no reason to have a special ingress qdisc pointer
in struct net_device.

Every qdisc is assosciated with a queue, and in the case of ingress
qdiscs that will now be netdev->rx_queue so using that queue's lock is
the thing to do.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The lock is now an attribute of the device queue.
One thing to notice is that "suspicious" places
emerge which will need specific training about
multiple queue handling. They are so marked with
explicit "netdev->rx_queue" and "netdev->tx_queue"
references.

It can be obtained via the netdev_queue. So create a helper routine,
qdisc_dev(), to make the transformations nicer looking.
Now, qdisc_alloc() now no longer needs a net_device pointer argument.
