* mac80211: allow no mac address until firmware loadLuis Carlos Cobo2008-08-22
| | | | | | | | | Originally by Johannes Berg. This patch adds support for devices that do not report their MAC address until the firmware is loaded. While the address is not known, a multicast on is used. Signed-off-by: Luis Carlos Cobo <luisca@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* mac80211: explicitly check skb->lenHarvey Harrison2008-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb internally checks the skb is long enough to hold the full ieee80211_hdr, else it returns zero. Use ieee80211_hdrlen which always returns the hdrlen and check the remaining room in the skb explicitly when removing encryption headers or the qos control field.

* mac80211: fix use of skb->cb for mesh forwardingLuis Carlos Cobo2008-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now we deal with mesh forwarding before the 802.11->802.3 conversion, thus eliminating a few unnecessary steps. The next hop lookup is called from ieee80211_master_start_xmit() instead of subif_start_xmit(). Until the next hop is found, RA in the frame will be all zeroes for frames originating from the device. For forwarded frames, RA will contain the TA of the received frame, which will be necessary to send a path error if a next hop is not found.

* mac80211: fix cfg80211 hooks for master interfaceJohannes Berg2008-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | The master interface is a virtual interface that is registered to mac80211, changing that does not seem like a good idea at the moment. However, since it has no sdata, we cannot accept any configuration for it. This patch makes the cfg80211 hooks reject any such attempt.

The patch also, for now, disables aggregation because that would still require requeuing, will fix that in a separate patch.

* netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller2008-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * 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.
