* mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control APIJohannes Berg2008-10-311-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control, most drivers don't support that though.

* mac80211: move txrate_idx into RC algorithmsJohannes Berg2008-09-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The sta_info->txrate_idx member isn't used by all RC algorithms in the way it was intended to be used, move it into those that require it (only PID) and keep track in the core code of which rate was last used for reporting to userspace and the mesh MLME.

* mac80211: share STA information with driverJohannes Berg2008-09-151-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes mac80211 to share some more data about stations with drivers. Should help iwlwifi and ath9k when they get around to updating, and might also help with implementing rate control algorithms without internals.

* mac80211: split off mesh handling entirelyJohannes Berg2008-09-151-49/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch splits off mesh handling from the STA/IBSS. Unfortunately it increases mesh code size a bit, but I think it makes things clearer. The patch also reduces per-interface run-time memory usage. Also clean up a few places where ifdef is not required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: move frame TX functionJohannes Berg2008-09-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | The ieee80211_sta_tx function isn't MLME code any more, it's getting used by a lot of code. Move it to utils and rename it to ieee80211_tx_skb. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: fix action frame length checksJohannes Berg2008-09-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | The action frame length checks are one too small, there's not just an action code as the comment makes you believe, there's a category code too, and the category code is required in each action frame (hence part of IEEE80211_MIN_ACTION_SIZE).

* replace net_device arguments with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriateJasper Bryant-Greene2008-08-221-58/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate. It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device. If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway, the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat. This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be provided.

* mac80211: fix use of skb->cb for mesh forwardingLuis Carlos Cobo2008-08-071-9/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: RCU-ify STA info structure accessJohannes Berg2008-03-061-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is now somewhat understandable. This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under RTNL and frees the key.

* mac80211: code for on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh ProtocolLuis Carlos Cobo2008-03-061-0/+862
This file implements the on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol, at this moment using hop-count as the metric. When no mesh path exists for a given destination or the mesh path is not active, frames addressed to that destination will be queued and a Path Request frame will be sent. Queued frames will be sent when the path is resolved (usually after reception of a Path Response) or discarded if discovery times out. Path Requests will also be sent to refresh paths that are being used and are close to expiring. Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to forward a frame originated in a different mesh point times out. Path Errors are also sent when a peer link is determined to be unreachable because of high error rates. Multiple destination support in Path Requests and Path Errors and precursors have not been implemented yet.
