* mac80211/ath9k: Support AMPDU with multiple VIFs.Ben Greear2010-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw method didn't properly find VIFS when there was more than one per AP. This caused AMPDU logic in ath9k to get the wrong VIF when trying to account for transmitted SKBs. This patch changes ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw to take a localaddr argument to distinguish between VIFs with the same AP but different local addresses. The method name is changed to ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: clear txflags for ps-filtered framesChristian Lamparter2010-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes stale mac80211_tx_control_flags for filtered / retried frames. Because ieee80211_handle_filtered_frame feeds skbs back into the tx path, they have to be stripped of some tx flags so they won't confuse the stack, driver or device.

* wl12xx: add platform data passing supportOhad Ben-Cohen2010-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a simple mechanism to pass platform data to the SDIO instances of wl12xx.

* mac80211: add p2p device type supportJohannes Berg2010-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When a driver advertises p2p device support, mac80211 will handle it, but internally it will rewrite the interface type to STA/AP rather than P2P-STA/GO since otherwise a lot of paths need to be touched that are otherwise identical. A p2p boolean tells drivers whether or not a given interface will be used for p2p or not. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support to mac80211 for changing the interface type even when the interface is UP, if the driver supports it. To achieve this * add a new driver callback for switching, * split some of the interface up/down code out into new functions (do_open/do_stop), and * maintain an own __SDATA_RUNNING bit that will not be set during interface type, so that any other code doesn't use the interface.

* mac80211: allow scan to complete from any contextJohannes Berg2010-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ieee80211_scan_completed() function was a frequent source of potential deadlocks, since it is called by drivers but may call back into drivers, so drivers had to make sure to call it without any locks held, which frequently lead to more complex code in drivers. Avoid that problem by allowing the function to be called in any context, and queueing the actual work it does. Also update the documentation for it to indicate this.

| * Bluetooth: Use 3-DH5 payload size for default ERTM max PDU sizeMat Martineau2010-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous value of 672 for L2CAP_DEFAULT_MAX_PDU_SIZE is based on the default L2CAP MTU. That default MTU is calculated from the size of two DH5 packets, minus ACL and L2CAP b-frame header overhead. ERTM is used with newer basebands that typically support larger 3-DH5 packets, and i-frames and s-frames have more header overhead. With clean RF conditions, basebands will typically attempt to use 1021-byte 3-DH5 packets for maximum throughput. Adjusting for 2 bytes of ACL headers plus 10 bytes of worst-case L2CAP headers yields 1009 bytes of payload. This PDU size imposes less overhead for header bytes and gives the baseband the option to choose 3-DH5 packets, but is small enough for ERTM traffic to interleave well with other L2CAP or SCO data. 672-byte payloads do not allow the most efficient over-the-air packet choice, and cannot achieve maximum throughput over BR/EDR.

Now API user may embedded kobject each padata instance contains into any sysfs hierarchy. For now padata sysfs interface provides only two objects: serial_cpumask [RW] - cpumask for serial workers parallel_cpumask [RW] - cpumask for parallel workers Signed-off-by: Dan Kruchinin <dkruchinin@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
| | * | | | | | padata: Make two separate cpumasksDan Kruchinin2010-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The aim of this patch is to make two separate cpumasks for padata parallel and serial workers respectively. It allows user to make more thin and sophisticated configurations of padata framework. For example user may bind parallel and serial workers to non-intersecting CPU groups to gain better performance. Also each padata instance has notifiers chain for its cpumasks now. If either parallel or serial or both masks were changed all interested subsystems will get notification about that. It's especially useful if padata user uses algorithm for callback CPU selection according to serial cpumask.
