iwlwifi: handle unicast PS buffering
Using the new mac80211 functionality, this makes iwlwifi handle unicast PS buffering correctly. The device works like this: * when a station goes to sleep, the microcode notices this and marks the station as asleep * when the station is marked asleep, the microcode refuses to transmit to the station and rejects all frames queued to it with the failure status code TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST_PS (a previous patch handled this correctly) * when we need to send frames to the station _although_ it is asleep, we need to tell the ucode how many, and this is asynchronous with sending so we cannot just send the frames, we need to wait for all other frames to be flushed, and then update the counter before sending out the poll response frames. This is handled partially in the driver and partially in mac80211. In order to do all this correctly, we need to * keep track of how many frames are pending for each associated client station (avoid doing it for other stations to avoid the atomic ops) * tell mac80211 that we driver-block the PS status while there are still frames pending on the queues, and once they are all rejected (due to the dest sta being in PS) unblock mac80211 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
