Revert "mac80211: Fix accounting of the tailroom-needed counter"

2015-01-16T14:59:56+00:00

commit 1e359a5de861a57aa04d92bb620f52a5c1d7f8b1 upstream. This reverts commit ca34e3b5c808385b175650605faa29e71e91991b. It turns out that the p54 and cw2100 drivers assume that there's tailroom even when they don't say they really need it. However, there's currently no way for them to explicitly say they do need it, so for now revert this. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90331.

mac80211: replace SMPS hw flags with wiphy feature bits

2014-09-11T11:37:02+00:00

Use the new static_smps / dynamic_smps feature bits instead of mac80211-internal hw flags. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: extend set_coverage_class signature

2014-09-05T11:54:07+00:00

Extend mac80211 set_coverage_class API in order to enable ACK timeout estimation algorithm (dynack) passing coverage class equals to -1 to lower drivers. Synchronize set_coverage_class routine signature with mac80211 function pointer for p54, ath9k, ath9k_htc and ath5k drivers. Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: add Intel Mobile Communications copyright

2014-09-05T11:52:06+00:00

Our legal structure changed at some point (see wikipedia), but we forgot to immediately switch over to the new copyright notice. For files that we have modified in the time since the change, add the proper copyright notice now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: don't resize skbs needlessly

2014-08-26T09:16:00+00:00

Header-less cloned skbs with sufficient headroom need not be cloned unless the tailroom is going to be modified. Fix ieee80211_skb_resize so it would only resize cloned skbs if either the header isn't released or the tailroom is going to be modified. Some drivers might have assumed that skbs are never cloned, so add a HW flag that explicitly permits cloned TX skbs. Drivers which do not modify TX skbs should set this flag to avoid copying skbs.

mac80211: Fix accounting of the tailroom-needed counter

2014-08-26T09:15:59+00:00

When hw acceleration is enabled, the GENERATE_IV or PUT_IV_SPACE flags will only require headroom space. Consequently, the tailroom-needed counter can safely be decremented. Signed-off-by: Ido Yariv Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: don't duplicate station QoS capability data

2014-08-15T12:38:08+00:00

We currently track the QoS capability twice: for all peer stations in the WLAN_STA_WME flag, and for any clients associated to an AP interface separately for drivers in the sta->sta.wme field. Remove the WLAN_STA_WME flag and track the capability only in the driver-visible field, getting rid of the limitation that the field is only valid in AP mode.

mac80211: add support for Rx reordering offloading

2014-07-21T15:42:07+00:00

Some drivers may be performing most of Tx/Rx aggregation on their own (e.g. in firmware) including AddBa/DelBa negotiations but may otherwise require Rx reordering assistance. The patch exports 2 new functions for establishing Rx aggregation sessions in assumption device driver has taken care of the necessary negotiations.

mac80211: implement multi-vif in-place reservations

2014-06-25T16:06:20+00:00

Multi-vif in-place reservations happen when it is impossible to allocate more channel contexts as indicated by interface combinations. Such reservations are not finalized until all assigned interfaces are ready. This still doesn't handle all possible cases (i.e. degradation of number of channels) properly.

mac80211: split sched scan IEs

2014-06-25T07:10:43+00:00

Split sched scan IEs to band specific and not band specific blocks. Common IEs blocks may be sent to the FW once per command, instead of per band. This allows optimization of size of the command, which may be required by some drivers (eg. iwlmvm with newer firmware version). As this changes the mac80211 API, update all drivers to use the new version correctly, even if they don't (yet) make use of the split data.
