      mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleep · 3ac64bee
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
      with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
      operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
      things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
      a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
      need the multicast address list implement. This new
      callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
      don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
      done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
      non-atomically.
      
      A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
      mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
      wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
      new capability.

      mac80211: push rx status into skb->cb · f1d58c25
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
      skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
      in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
      drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
      accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
      drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
      them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
      function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
      optimised on its own schedule.

      mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units · 566bfe5a
      Bruno Randolf 提交于
      trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
      confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
      what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
      the wireless extensions.
      
      this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
      clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
      provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
      
      for signal:
      
        IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
        IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
        IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW
      
      for noise we currently only have dBm:
      
        IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW
      
      if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
      to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
      to make sense of the signal values.
      
      i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
      but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
      doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
      the hardware flags of the driver.
