mac80211: revamp virtual interface handling

2008-07-14T18:30:07+00:00

This patch revamps the virtual interface handling and makes the
code much easier to follow. Fewer functions, better names, less
spaghetti code.

mac80211: QoS related cleanups

2008-05-07T19:02:26+00:00

This
 * makes the queue number passed to drivers a u16
   (as it will be with skb_get_queue_mapping)
 * removes the useless queue number defines
 * splits hw->queues into hw->queues/ampdu_queues
 * removes the debugfs files for per-queue counters
 * removes some dead QoS code
 * removes the beacon queue configuration for IBSS
   so that the drivers now never get a queue number
   bigger than (hw->queues + hw->ampdu_queues - 1)
   for tx and only in the range 0..hw->queues-1 for
   conf_tx.

mac80211: rename files

2008-04-08T20:44:45+00:00

This patch renames all mac80211 files (except ieee80211_i.h) to get rid
of the useless ieee80211_ prefix.

mac80211: make debugfs files root-only

2008-04-08T20:44:43+00:00

Unfortunately, debugfs can be made to access invalid memory by
open()ing a file and then waiting until the corresponding debugfs
file has been removed (and, probably, the underlying object.)

That could be exploited by any user if the user is able to open
debugfs files and can cause networking devices, STA entries or
similar to disappear which is quite easy to do.

Hence, all debugfs files should be root-only.

cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion

2008-02-29T20:19:32+00:00

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

[MAC80211]: remove key threshold stuff

2007-10-10T23:52:29+00:00

This patch removes the key threshold stuff from mac80211.
I have patches for later that add it as a per-key setting
to nl/cfg80211.

[MAC80211]: remove turbo modes

2007-10-10T23:49:27+00:00

This patch removes all mention of the atheros turbo modes that
can't possibly work properly anyway since in some places we don't
check for them when we should.

I have no idea what the iwlwifi drivers were doing with these but
it can't possibly have been correct.
