ath: Convert timers to use timer_setup()

2017-10-27T13:54:19+00:00

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer() to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

ar5523: constify usb_device_id

2017-08-10T08:55:56+00:00

usb_device_id are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions working with usb_device_id provided by work with const usb_device_id. So mark the non-const structs as const. Signed-off-by: Arvind Yadav Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

networking: make skb_push & __skb_push return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:40+00:00

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - fn(SKB, LEN)[0] + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

wireless: Set NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST in multiple drivers

2017-03-06T08:21:39+00:00

Set the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST wiphy extended feature wholesale in all mac80211-based drivers that do not set the IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER flags on their interfaces. mac80211 will be processing supplied RSSI values in ieee80211_rx_mgmt_beacon and will detect when the thresholds set by ieee80211_set_cqm_rssi_range_config are crossed. Remaining (few) drivers need code to enable the firmware to monitor the thresholds. This is mostly only compile-tested. Signed-off-by: Andrew Zaborowski Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band

2016-04-12T13:56:15+00:00

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. 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.

mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC

2015-04-24T09:14:13+00:00

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

ar5523: use container_of

2015-03-13T14:07:00+00:00

If we want to shrink skb->cb then we'd have to see about reducing struct ieee80211_tx_info, which gets embedded inside skb->cb[]. It provides a scratch space to be used by wireless drivers. ar5523 uses the maximum space available today (40 bytes), but it seems we don't need this -- data->skb pointer seems to always point back to the skb whose cb buffer the data structure resides, iow, given a pointer to the embedded control buffer we can infer the skb address.

mac80211: add vif to flush call

2014-04-09T08:55:29+00:00

This will allow the low level driver to make decision based on the vif such as queues etc... Since the vif might be NULL, we can't add it to the tracing functions. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach [fix staging rtl8821ae driver] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
