* cfg80211: remove unused function ieee80211_data_from_8023()Johannes Berg2017-09-211-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | This function hasn't been used since the removal of iwmc3200wifi in 2012. It also appears to have a bug when qos=True, since then it'll copy uninitialized stack memory to the SKB. Just remove the function entirely.

* cfg80211: add intro to documentationJohannes Berg2017-03-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | This introduction section should be used in the documentation, do that at the beginning of the cfg80211 chapter. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* cfg80211: Use a structure to pass connect response paramsVidyullatha Kanchanapally2017-03-311-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the connect event from driver takes all the connection response parameters as arguments. With support for new features these response parameters can grow. Use a structure to pass these parameters rather than passing them as function arguments.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211-next Johannes Berg says: ==================== For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases: * socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain operations, and can opt in to this where applicable * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space) * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the kernel, which was already available to userspace * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no room to add them * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of magnitude) * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for MAC address privacy (still requires driver support) * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

* docs: Move the 802.11 guide into the driver-api manualJonathan Corbet2016-11-296-0/+900
Put this documentation with the other driver docs and try to keep the top level reasonably clean. Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
