mac802154: add interframe spacing time handling

2014-11-13T03:51:58+00:00

This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154
layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit.
This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on
xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if
ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if
interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the
timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids
new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time.

For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This
is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose
it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call
spi_sync.

mac802154: cleanup ieee802154_netdev_to_extended_addr

2014-11-05T20:53:05+00:00

This patch cleanups the ieee802154_be64_to_le64 to have a similar
function like ieee802154_le64_to_be64 only with switched source and
destionation types.

mac802154: add ieee802154_le64_to_be64

2014-11-05T20:53:05+00:00

This patch adds a new function to convert a le64 to a be64. This is
useful to translate an extended address to a netdev dev_addr.

mac802154: add ieee802154_vif struct

2014-11-05T20:53:04+00:00

This patch adds an ieee802154_vif similar like the ieee80211_vif which
holds the interface type and maybe further more attributes like the
ieee80211_vif structure.

mac802154: fix byteorder issues

2014-11-02T20:52:02+00:00

Running make C=2 occurs these warnings:

cast from restricted __be64
incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
expected unsigned long long[unsigned] [usertype] val
got restricted __be64 [usertype]
cast from restricted __be64
cast to restricted __le64

This patch fix these warnings by forcing to __le64 type and using swabp64
instead swab64.

mac802154: add helper for converting dev_addr

2014-11-02T03:51:07+00:00

This patch adds a helper for converting the dev_addr attribute in
netdevice to __le64 type. The dev_addr attribute is a char pointer
and contains the extended address in big endian byte order.

mac802154: rx: add software checksum filtering check

2014-10-29T22:07:45+00:00

This patch adds a new hardware flag which indicate that the transceiver
doesn't support check for bad checksum via hardware. Also add a handling of
this while receive.

mac802154: separate omit tx/rx flags

2014-10-29T22:07:45+00:00

This patch splits the IEEE802154_HW_OMIT_CKSUM hardware flag into
IEEE802154_HW_TX_OMIT_CKSUM and IEEE802154_HW_RX_OMIT_CKSUM. This is
useful to deliver the received crc from the driver layer to the monitor
interface. At the moment we can't do that without change the xmit
handling.

The received checksum should be visible in monitor mode only.

mac802154: add support for promiscuous mode

mac802154: add hardware address filter flag

2014-10-29T22:07:44+00:00

Overdue introduction for address filtering hardware flag. Furthermore we
will check and set address filtering on interface up. This patch
prepares that we can check if an transceiver supports address filtering
option. Currently all mainline driver supports hardware address filtering.
