Currently in case of target hardware restart, we just reconfig and
re-enable the security keys and enable the network queues to start
data traffic back from where it was interrupted.
Many ath10k wifi chipsets have sequence numbers for the data
packets assigned by firmware and the mac sequence number will
restart from zero after target hardware restart leading to mismatch
in the sequence number expected by the remote peer vs the sequence
number of the frame sent by the target firmware.
This mismatch in sequence number will cause out-of-order packets
on the remote peer and all the frames sent by the device are dropped
until we reach the sequence number which was sent before we restarted
the target hardware
In order to fix this, we trigger a sta disconnect, in case of target
hw restart. After this there will be a fresh connection and thereby
avoiding the dropping of frames by remote peer.
The right fix would be to pull the entire data path into the host
which is not feasible or would need lots of complex changes and
will still be inefficient.
Tested on ath10k using WCN3990, QCA6174

ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() and
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() already exist, where the
former allows the iterator function to sleep. Add
ieee80211_iterate_stations() which is similar to
ieee80211_iterate_stations_atomic() but allows the iterator to sleep.
This is needed for adding SDIO support to the rtw88 driver. Some
interators there are reading or writing registers. With the SDIO ops
(sdio_readb, sdio_writeb and friends) this means that the iterator
function may sleep.

ETSI standard defines "Offchannel CAC" as:
"Off-Channel CAC is performed by a number of non-continuous checks
spread over a period in time. This period, which is required to
determine the presence of radar signals, is defined as the Off-Channel
CAC Time..
Minimum Off-Channel CAC Time 6 minutes and Maximum Off-Channel CAC Time
4 hours..".
mac80211 implementation refers to a dedicated hw chain used for continuous
radar monitoring. Rename offchannel_* references to background_* in
order to avoid confusion with ETSI standard.

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.
Use memset_after() so memset() doesn't get confused about writing
beyond the destination member that is intended to be the starting point
of zeroing through the end of the struct.
Additionally fix the common helper, ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status(),
which was not clearing ack_signal, but the open-coded versions
did. Johannes Berg points out this bug was introduced by commit
e3e1a0bcb3 ("mac80211: reduce IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES") but was harmless.
Also drops the associated unneeded BUILD_BUG_ON()s, and adds a note to

Configure multiple BSSID and enhanced multi-BSSID advertisement (EMA)
parameters in mac80211 for AP mode.
For each interface, 'mbssid_tx_vif' points to the transmitting interface of
the MBSSID set. The pointer is set to NULL if MBSSID is disabled.
Function ieee80211_stop() is modified to always bring down all the
non-transmitting interfaces first and the transmitting interface last.

Introduce TWT action frames parsing support to mac80211.
Currently just individual TWT agreement are support in AP mode.
Whenever the AP receives a TWT action frame from an associated client,
after performing sanity checks, it will notify the underlay driver with
requested parameters in order to check if they are supported and if there
is enough room for a new agreement. The driver is expected to set the
agreement result and report it to mac80211.
Drivers supporting this have two new callbacks:
- add_twt_setup (mandatory)
- twt_teardown_request (optional)
mac80211 will send an action frame reply according to the result
reported by the driver.

This switches the airtime scheduler in mac80211 to use a virtual
time-based scheduler instead of the round-robin scheduler used before.
This has a couple of advantages:
- No need to sync up the round-robin scheduler in firmware/hardware with
the round-robin airtime scheduler.
- If several stations are eligible for transmission we can schedule both
of them; no need to hard-block the scheduling rotation until the head
of the queue has used up its quantum.
- The check of whether a station is eligible for transmission becomes
simpler (in ieee80211_txq_may_transmit()).
The drawback is that scheduling becomes slightly more expensive, as we
need to maintain an rbtree of TXQs sorted by virtual time. This means
that ieee80211_register_airtime() becomes O(logN) in the number of
currently scheduled TXQs because it can change the order of the
scheduled stations. We mitigate this overhead by only resorting when a
station changes position in the tree, and hopefully N rarely grows too
big (it's only TXQs currently backlogged, not all associated stations),
so it shouldn't be too big of an issue.
To prevent divisions in the fast path, we maintain both station sums and
pre-computed reciprocals of the sums. This turns the fast-path operation
into a multiplication, with divisions only happening as the number of
active stations change (to re-compute the current sum of all active
station weights). To prevent this re-computation of the reciprocal from
happening too frequently, we use a time-based notion of station
activity, instead of updating the weight every time a station gets
scheduled or de-scheduled. As queues can oscillate between empty and
occupied quite frequently, this can significantly cut down on the number
of re-computations. It also has the added benefit of making the station
airtime calculation independent on whether the queue happened to have
drained at the time an airtime value was accounted.

The commit cb17ed29a7 ("mac80211: parse radiotap header when selecting Tx
queue") moved the code to validate the radiotap header from
ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit to ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap. This made is
possible to share more code with the new Tx queue selection code for
injected frames. But at the same time, it now required the call of
ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap at the beginning of functions which wanted to
handle the radiotap header. And this broke the rate parser for radiotap
header parser.
The radiotap parser for rates is operating most of the time only on the
data in the actual radiotap header. But for the 802.11a/b/g rates, it must
also know the selected band from the chandef information. But this
information is only written to the ieee80211_tx_info at the end of the
ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit - long after ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap was
already called. The info->band information was therefore always 0
(NL80211_BAND_2GHZ) when the parser code tried to access it.
For a 5GHz only device, injecting a frame with 802.11a rates would cause a
NULL pointer dereference because local->hw.wiphy->bands[NL80211_BAND_2GHZ]
would most likely have been NULL when the radiotap parser searched for the
correct rate index of the driver.
