cfg80211/mac80211: use debugfs_remove_recursive

2009-10-30T20:49:18+00:00

We can save a lot of code and pointers in the structs
by using debugfs_remove_recursive().

First, change cfg80211 to use debugfs_remove_recursive()
so that drivers do not need to clean up any files they
added to the per-wiphy debugfs (if and only if they are
ok to be accessed until after wiphy_unregister!).

Then also make mac80211 use debugfs_remove_recursive()
where necessary -- it need not remove per-wiphy files
as cfg80211 now removes those, but netdev etc. files
still need to be handled but can now be removed without
needing struct dentry pointers to all of them.

mac80211: New stat counters for multicast and unicast forwarded frames

2009-08-20T15:36:04+00:00

This expands on the current fwded_frames stat counter which should be equal to
the total of these two new counters.  The new counters are called "fwded_mcast"
and "fwded_unicast".

mac80211: rework MLME for multiple authentications

2009-07-10T19:02:30+00:00

Sit tight. This shakes up the world as you know
it. Let go of your spaghetti tongs, they will no
longer be required, the horrible statemachine in
net/mac80211/mlme.c is no more...

With the cfg80211 SME mac80211 now has much less
to keep track of, but, on the other hand, for FT
it needs to be able to keep track of at least one
authentication being in progress while associated.
So convert from a single state machine to having
small ones for all the different things we need to
do. For real FT it will still need work wrt. PS,
but this should be a good step.

mac80211: remove dead code, clean up

2009-07-10T19:01:53+00:00

With mac80211 now always controlled by an external SME,
a lot of code is dead -- SSID, BSSID, channel selection
is always done externally, etc. Additionally, rename
IEEE80211_STA_TKIP_WEP_USED to IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_11N
and clean up the code a bit.

mac80211: remove auth algorithm retry

2009-07-10T19:01:52+00:00

The automatic auth algorithm issue is now solved in
cfg80211, so mac80211 no longer needs code to try
different algorithms -- just using whatever cfg80211
asked for is good.

mac80211: split IBSS/managed code

2009-02-27T19:51:42+00:00

This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode.
The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have
the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly
a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand.

This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into
sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that
way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only
applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other
functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also
rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

mac80211: move bss_conf into vif

2008-10-31T23:00:15+00:00

Move bss_conf into the vif struct so that drivers can
access it during ->tx without having to store it in
the private data or similar. No driver updates because
this is only for when they want to start using it.

mac80211: remove writable debugs mesh parameters

2008-10-31T22:05:57+00:00

These parameters shouldn't be configurable via debugfs, if they
need to be configurable nl80211 support has to be added, if not
then they don't need to be writable here either.
