IEEE 802.11-2016 "9.7.3 A-MPDU contents" forbids aggregating MPDUs with
different keyids.
Extended Key ID support breaks the assumption that all unicast MPDUs for
one station can always be aggregated.
Inform the drivers about a keyid border by dropping the
@IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU flag for the last MPDU using the current keyid.

This patch here is totally unnecessary when we decide that IEEE 802.11 -
2016 is not meaning what is referenced in the commit message above:-)
The exact wording in the standard is:
"All protected MPDUs within an A-MPDU have the same Key ID."
The intent of the wording was probably written without considering
Extended Key IDs. At least it makes no sense for me to forbid mixing
MPDUs using keyid 0 and 1 in one A-MPDU. Nevertheless it says what it
says and there may now be cards/drivers depending on that and e.g. only
check it for the first MPDU. The lost MPDUs would then be our fault, for
aggregating together what according to the standard must not.
But even with that view we still don't need the patch:
A-MPDU aggregation is the job for the driver. We simply can offload the
problem to the drivers.
On the other side mac80211 is in what I consider a better position to
determine and mark the MPDU keyid border, saving the driver the effort
to parse the MPDUs again and keep track of the "current" keyid. It also
allows the driver to terminate a running A-MPDU frame when it gets the
last packet for the old key instead one frame later.
To get around what looked like a nightmare of synchronisation problems
this patch puts the Tx key switch into the Tx path. Handling idle
connections when we don't want to accept that the first packet of a
rekey may still use the key-before-current makes it more complex.
The code is assuming that the driver is not aggregating MPDUs more than
5s apart. We probably don't have wait nearly so long but I'm not sure
what is the minimum time.
The patch also brought up a interesting problem: We are out of sta_info
flags and skb CB also has no room left to add new ones. I worked around
that by redefining how IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU has to be handled for
Extended Key ID A-MPDU sessions. If you think that puts too much stain
on the API I would need a pointer what would be considered an acceptable
solution to the problem.
But I also fully understand when you think this patch goes too far and
want it thrown out and want it handled somehow else:-).
