The 802.11 header is only padded to 32-bit boundary when the frame has
a non-zero length payload. In other words, control frames (e.g., ACK)
do not have a padding and we should not try to remove it. This fixes
monitor mode for short control frames. In addition, the hdrlen&3 use
is described in more detail to make it easier to understand how the
padding length is calculated.

AP mode operations are seriously affected if mac80211 runs through a
multi-second scan while the AP is trying to send Beacon frames on the
operation channel. While this could be implemented in a way that does
not cause too many problems, it is not very simple and will require
synchronization with Beacon frame scheduling in the drivers (scan one
channel at a time between Beacon frames). Furthermore, such scanning
takes quite a bit longer time and existing userspace applications
would be likely to timeout while waiting for the results.

For now, just refuse requests for new scans (SIOCSIWSCAN) when in AP
mode. In practice, this moves the rejection from iwl* drivers into
mac80211 to make it apply to every mac80211-based driver.

This issue shows up in associated stations getting disconnected when
something (e.g., Network Manager) requests a scan while the interface
is in AP mode. When doing this continuously (e.g., NM does it every 120
seconds), the network gets close to useless.

This patch fixes sporadic firmware restarts when scanning while associated.

The firmware will quietly cancel a scan (while associated) if the dwell time
for a channel to be scanned is larger than the time it may stay away from the
operating channel (because of DTIM catching). Unfortunately the driver is not
notified about the canceled scan and therefore the scan watchdog timeout will
be hit and the driver causes a firmware restart which results in
disassociation. This mainly happens on passive channels which use a dwell time
of 120 whereas a typical beacon interval is around 100.

The patch changes the dwell time for passive channels to be slightly smaller
than the actual beacon interval to work around the firmware issue. Furthermore
the number of allowed beacon misses is increased from one to three as otherwise
most scans (while associated) won't complete successfully.

However scanning while associated will still fail in corner cases such as a
beacon intervals below 30.

When SLUB debugging is enabled in the kernel, and the boot command includes
the option "slub_debug=P", rtl8187 encounters a GPF due to a read-after-free
of a urb.

Following the example of changes in p54usb to fix the same problem, the code
has been modified to use the usb_anchor_urb() method. With this change, the
USB core handles the freeing of urb's.

"usb_kill_urb() and similar routines do not expect an URB's completion

to detect when the URB actually is complete."

ath_tx_complete_buf uses a BH version of spinlock and so releasing
the lock enables BH which is incorrect when called from sta_notify
callback as MAC80211 disables hardirqs before the driver callback
is called.

As ath_tx_complete_buf is shared between user and softirq context
using normal spinlock may not be appropriate. Though the proper
fix would be to cleanup the context properly in the driver code,
this would be an interim fix to avoid kernel warning.

There's no driver that actually does fragmentation on the
device, and the callback is buggy (when it returns an error,
mac80211's fragmentation status is changed so reading the
frag threshold from userspace reads the new value despite
the error). Let's just remove it, if we really find some
hardware supporting it we can add it back later.
