mac80211: use reset to set header pointer

2016-03-05T03:45:13+00:00

Since offset is zero, it's not necessary to use set function. Reset function is straightforward, and will remove the unnecessary add operation in set function. Signed-off-by: Zhang Shengju Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mac80211: Don't buffer non-bufferable MMPDUs

2016-01-14T10:10:21+00:00

Non-bufferable MMPDUs are sent out to STAs even while in PS mode (for example probe responses). Applying filtered frame handling for these doesn't seem to make much sense and will only create more air utilization when the STA wakes up. Hence, apply filtered frame handling only for bufferable MMPDUs. Discovered while testing an old VOIP phone that started probing for APs while in PS mode. The mac80211/ath9k AP where the STA is associated would reply with a probe response but the phone sometimes moved to a new channel already and couldn't ack the probe response anymore. In that case mac80211 applied filtered frame handling for the un-acked probe response. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: move station statistics into sub-structs

2015-10-21T08:08:22+00:00

Group station statistics by where they're (mostly) updated (TX, RX and TX-status) and group them into sub-structs of the struct sta_info. Also rename the variables since the grouping now makes it obvious where they belong. This makes it easier to identify where the statistics are updated in the code, and thus easier to think about them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: remove sta->last_ack_signal

2015-10-21T08:08:21+00:00

This file only feeds a debugfs file that isn't very useful, so remove it. If necessary, we can add other ways to get this information, for example in the NL80211_CMD_PROBE_CLIENT response. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Conflicts: drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c net/switchdev/switchdev.c In the inet_connection_sock.c case the request socket hashing scheme is completely different in net-next. The other two conflicts were overlapping changes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mac80211: fix handling of PS filtering with fast-xmit

2015-09-24T14:28:01+00:00

Fixes dropped packets in the tx path in case a non-PS station triggers the tx filter. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Split sending tx'ed frames to monitor interfaces into its own function

2015-09-22T13:21:28+00:00

This allows ieee80211_tx_monitor to be used directly for sending 802.11 frames to all monitor interfaces. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: remove always true condition

2015-08-13T09:36:01+00:00

The outside if statement checks that IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_MLME_CONN_TX is set so this condition is always true. Checking twice upsets the static checkers. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36+00:00

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.
