mac80211: (selectively) add HT details in radiotap

2012-05-16T16:46:38+00:00

Add a flag for the HT format (mixed vs. greenfield)
to allow drivers to report that on receive. Not all
drivers will do that though, so allow drivers to set
which radiotap MCS details they report.

mac80211: remove hw.conf.channel usage where possible

2012-04-13T18:32:50+00:00

Removes hw.conf.channel usage from the following functions:
 * ieee80211_mandatory_rates
 * ieee80211_sta_get_rates
 * ieee80211_frame_duration
 * ieee80211_rts_duration
 * ieee80211_ctstoself_duration

This is in preparation for multi-channel operation.

cfg80211/mac80211: enable proper device_set_wakeup_enable handling

2012-04-11T20:23:57+00:00

In WoWLAN, we only get the triggers when we actually get
to suspend. As a consequence, drivers currently don't
know that the device should enable wakeup. However, the
device_set_wakeup_enable() API is intended to be called
when the wakeup is enabled, not later when needed.

Add a new set_wakeup() call to cfg80211 and mac80211 to
allow drivers to properly call device_set_wakeup_enable.

mac80211: add improved HW queue control

2012-04-11T20:23:50+00:00

mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue
per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel
uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue
is full and then try to send an off-channel frame
the frame will never go out. This will become worse
when we support multi-channel since then a queue on
one channel might be full, but we have to stop the
software queue for all channels. That is obviously
not desirable.

To address this problem allow drivers to register
more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to
virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue
the corresponding AC software queues on the correct
interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally,
there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem
and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This
allows drivers to manage software queues closer to
how the hardware works.

Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues.
This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it
as needed.
