2014-10-27mac802154: rx: change naming conventionAlexander Aring1-16/+17
This patch changes the naming convention of mac802154 rx file. It should be more named like mac80211 stack. Furthermore we introduce a new frame parsing implementation which is much similar the mac80211 implementation.

2014-10-27at86rf230: improve receive handlingAlexander Aring1-7/+3
Current behaviour it to copy the frame inclusive CRC into a skb, then remove the CRC from the skb. This patch optimizes this by not copying the CRC at the first place. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2014-10-27at86rf230: use ieee802154_is_valid_psdu_len helperAlexander Aring1-18/+8
This patch adds the ieee802154_is_valid_psdu_len function to validate the psdu length. If the psdu length is invalid we use the maximum payload to receive also corrupted frames in monitor mode.

2014-10-27ieee802154: add valid psdu length helperAlexander Aring1-0/+11
This patch adds a generic valid psdu length check function helper. This is useful to check the length field after receiving. For example the at86rf231 doesn't filter invalid psdu length. Sometimes the CRC can also be correct. If we get the lqi value with an invalid frame length the kernel may crash because we dereference an invalid pointer in the receive buffer.

2014-10-27mac802154: rx: move skb_reset_mac_headerAlexander Aring1-2/+3
This patch moves the skb_reset_mac_header call before frame parsing while wpan rx and before monitor deliver functionality. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2014-10-27mac802154: rx: add monitor pkt_type informationAlexander Aring1-0/+1
This patch adds a PACKET_OTHERHOST setting when a monitor interface receives a skb. All receiving skb's to the monitor interface should be PACKET_OTHERHOST. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2014-10-27mac802154: rx: add CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARYAlexander Aring1-0/+2
This patch adds CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to skb->ip_summed before delivery. There exist no transceiver with IP checksum functionality. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2014-10-27mac802154: rx: move skb->protocol settingAlexander Aring1-1/+4
This patch moves the skb->protocol setting to the position when it's needed. It's only needed when frame parsing was successful. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2014-10-27mac802154: rx: rename remove mac802154_subif_rxAlexander Aring1-9/+3
This patch removes the mac802154_subif_rx function and do the necessary calls inside of ieee802154_rx function. The ieee802154_rx is small enough to move the functionality inside this function.

2014-10-27mac802154: tx: remove monitor receive while xmitAlexander Aring3-4/+2
This removes the call of monitor receive funktion when any interface type call xmit. There exist no such use case that a monitor interface should receive the actual sending frame. One use case could be that a wpan interface and monitor interface could be running at the same time on one phy. Then the monitor interface receives the wpan frames also. Furthermore we adding support for promiscous mode setting. With promiscous mode setting we can't run a wpan and monitor interface at the same time.

2014-10-27mac802154: rx: move receive handling into rx.cAlexander Aring4-214/+214
This patch removes all relevant receiving functions inclusive frame parsing into rx file. Like mac80211 we should implement the complete receive handling and parsing in this file. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

This patch is similar like d20ef63d32461332958661df73e21c0ca42601b0 ("mac80211: document ieee80211_rx() context requirement"). The netif_receive_skb call requires with softirqs disabled.

2014-10-27mac802154: rx: use tasklet instead workqueueAlexander Aring5-41/+47
Tasklets have much less overhead than workqueues. This patch also removes the heap allocation for the worker on receiving path. Like mac80211 we should prefer use a tasklet here instead a workqueue to getting fast out of interrupt context when ieee802154_rx_irqsafe is called by driver. Like wireless inside the tasklet context we should call netif_receive_skb instead netif_rx_ni anymore.

2014-10-27ieee802154: drivers: use dev_alloc_skbAlexander Aring3-3/+3

2014-10-27mac80211: minstrel_ht: do not always skip ht rates vht_only is trueKarl Beldan1-1/+1
When CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT is set, the module param minstrel_vht_only tells minstrel_ht whether to allow the mix of ht rates with vht rates. ATM, minstrel_ht skips ht rates when minstrel_vht_only is true, but it does that even if vht is not supported, which makes the sta rates fallback to legacy as no ht rate gets enabled.

2014-10-27mac80211: don't flush when probing the APEmmanuel Grumbach1-2/+0
All the callers of ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap_send return right after they call the flush() callback. This means that calling flush() is uneeded since its meaning is to wait until the queues of the device are empty. Devices that know how to report status on Tx will do so using the regular path (ieee80211_tx_status) and this status will trigger the continuation of the flow of the probe (ieee80211_sta_tx_notify).

2014-10-26mac802154: tx: make worker information staticAlexander Aring1-12/+5
This patch moves the worker information struct out of skb control block. Instead control block we declare it static inside of tx.c file. We can do that, because the worker can't be used twice at the same time. It's protected by stop and wake netdev queue. This patch fix an issue that the "struct ieee802154_xmit_cb" doesn't fit into the skb control block on some kernel configuartion reported by kbuild test robot.
