* netdev: Do not use TX lock to protect address lists.David S. Miller2008-07-15
| | | | | | | | | Now that we have a specific lock to protect the network device unicast and multicast lists, remove extraneous grabs of the TX lock in cases where the code only needs address list protection. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* netdev: Add netdev->addr_list_lock protection.David S. Miller2008-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add netif_addr_{lock,unlock}{,_bh}() helpers. Use them to protect operations that operate on or read the network device unicast and multicast address lists. Also use them in cases where the code simply wants to block calls into the driver's ->set_rx_mode() and ->set_multicast_list() methods. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| * mac80211: fix TX sequence numbersJohannes Berg2008-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed through mac80211's TX path. This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked for proper sequence numbers on beacons. It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the check at the entrance to ieee80211_rx_reorder_ampdu. This check has been broken by 'mac80211: rx.c use new helpers'.

| * mac80211: revamp beacon configurationJohannes Berg2008-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally, it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

| * mac80211: make master netdev handling saneJohannes Berg2008-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however, is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power saving stations.) Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on the list of interfaces either. This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now - no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which lets me remove a lot of tests for that - no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called on the master netdev any more.

| * rc80211_pid: Fix fast_start parameter handlingMattias Nissler2008-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the fast_start parameter from the rc_pid parameters information and instead uses the parameter macro when initializing the rc_pid state. Since the parameter is only used on initialization, there is no point of making exporting it via debugfs. This also fixes uninitialized memory references to the fast_start and norm_offset parameters detected by the kmemcheck utility. Thanks to Vegard Nossum for reporting the bug.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only plain netif_schedule() remains taking a net_device, mostly as a compatability item while we transition the rest of these interfaces.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lock is now an attribute of the device queue.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc. Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely contains a backpointer to the net_device. The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well. Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the resulting hierarchy: net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue pointer argument.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the ieee80211_hw->workqueue is flushed each time an interface is being removed. However most scheduled work is not interface specific but device specific, for example things like periodic work for link tuners. This patch will move the flush_workqueue() call to directly behind the call to ops->stop() to make sure the workqueue is only flushed when all interfaces are gone and there really shouldn't be any scheduled work in the drivers left.
