drivers/net: Add module.h to drivers who were implicitly using it

2011-10-31T23:31:07Z

The device.h header was including module.h, making it present for most of these drivers. But we want to clean that up. Call out the include of module.h in the modular network drivers. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

mac80211: pass vif param to conf_tx() callback

2011-10-03T19:22:41Z

tx params should be configured per interface. add ieee80211_vif param to the conf_tx callback, and change all the drivers that use this callback. The following spatch was used: @rule1@ struct ieee80211_ops ops; identifier conf_tx_op; @@ ops.conf_tx = conf_tx_op; @rule2@ identifier rule1.conf_tx_op; identifier hw, queue, params; @@ conf_tx_op ( - struct ieee80211_hw *hw, + struct ieee80211_hw *hw, struct ieee80211_vif *vif, u16 queue, const struct ieee80211_tx_queue_params *params) {...} Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: John W.

p54: improve site survey

The firmware keeps track of channel usage. This data can be used by the automatic channel selection to find the best channel.

p54: implement multicast filter

2011-04-26T19:50:30Z

"For best CPU usage and power consumption, having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible." Note: Not all firmwares include the multicast filter feature and the stack does not filter them either. The ARP filter on the other hand was dropped from the patch since it does not work correctly: Quote from: Max Filippov "In the ARP case, when there's no other traffic on p54spi, all ARP requests are dropped. But if there's some egress traffic from p54spi, filter seems to work correctly: only ARP requests that match filter pass through. In the multicast case filter seems to work correctly, but it treats broadcast as subject to that filtering too. By default only 01:00:5e:00:00:01 gets into priv->mc_maclist, so we miss all broadcasts. These two filters seem to interfere: - if we set ARP filter and multicast filter without bc => we miss all ARPs if there's no egress traffic; - if we set ARP filter and multicast filter with bc or don't set mc filter at all => we get all ARPs. This effect does not depend on filter setup order." Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter Tested-by: Max Filippov Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: make tx() operation return void

2011-02-25T20:32:34Z

The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211. Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the old "return -1" there was wrong.
