      mac80211: remove RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP · 0869aea0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      While there may be a case for a driver adding its
      own bits of radiotap information, none currently
      does. Also, drivers would have to copy the code
      to generate the radiotap bits that now mac80211
      generates. If some driver in the future needs to
      add some driver-specific information I'd expect
      that to be in a radiotap vendor namespace and we
      can add a different way of passing such data up
      and having mac80211 include it.
      
      Additionally, rename IEEE80211_CONF_RADIOTAP to
      IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR since it's still used by
      b43(legacy) to obtain per-frame timestamps.
      
      The purpose of this patch is to simplify the RX
      code in mac80211 to make it easier to add paged
      skb support.

      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: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue · 42935eca
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
      to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
      takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
      really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
      the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
      
      We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
      be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
      the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
      to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
      
        * ieee80211_queue_work()
        * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
      
      These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
      suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
      flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
      but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
      work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
      someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
      suspend cycle.
      
      Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
      in the mac80211 stop() callback.

      mac80211: revamp beacon configuration · 9d139c81
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling
      to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always
      require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally,
      it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call
      to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it
      removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of
      having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

      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.

      mac80211: QoS related cleanups · e100bb64

       * removes some dead QoS code
       * removes the beacon queue configuration for IBSS
         so that the drivers now never get a queue number
         bigger than (hw->queues + hw->ampdu_queues - 1)
         for tx and only in the range 0..hw->queues-1 for
         conf_tx.
