      rt2x00: Rename dscape -> mac80211 · de99ff82
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      The dscape stack was renamed to mac80211 a long time ago,
      we are long overdue with fixing all comments to reflect this.

      rt2x00: Add per-interface structure · 6bb40dd1
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
      and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
      way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.
      
      Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
      the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
      reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
      SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.
      
      Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
      interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
      rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
      rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
      rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
      rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
      rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
      
      At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
      simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
      will be very unlikely.
      
      Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
      with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
      mode interfaces are currently active.
      
      The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
      often called together since they all belong to the interface
      configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
      the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
      up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
      the configuration handler as well.

      rt2x00: Queue handling overhaul · 181d6902
      Ivo van Doorn 提交于
      This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
      renames "ring" to "queues".
      
      Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
      use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.
      
      Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
      to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
      system of the queue.
      
      Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
      this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
      code readability.
      
      rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
      send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
      structure.
      
      rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
      since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
      descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.
      
      Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect
      beacon handling or beacon related code.

      [PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configuration · 4150c572
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
      interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
      they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.
      
      This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
      callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
      filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
      For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
      as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
      Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
      FIF_ALLMULTI.
      
      Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that
      have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast
      frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or
      when the mc_count value is positive.
      
      At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
      monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
      implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
      change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
      ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
      add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
      any remove_interface().
      
      The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
      to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
      is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
      and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
      This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
      supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
      to all-ones.
      
      Driver modifications by Johannes Berg (b43 & iwlwifi), Michael Wu
      (rtl8187, adm8211, and p54), Larry Finger (b43legacy), and
      Ivo van Doorn (rt2x00).
