mac80211: trace debug messages

2012-06-24T09:33:18Z

It can be very useful to have all debug messages available when debugging, but hard to correlate between different sources, so add a trace event for all mac80211 debug messages. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: clean up debugging

2012-06-24T09:32:29Z

There are a few things that make the logging and debugging in mac80211 less useful than it should be right now: * a lot of messages should be pr_info, not pr_debug * wholesale use of pr_debug makes it require *both* Kconfig and dynamic configuration * there are still a lot of ifdefs * the style is very inconsistent, sometimes the sdata->name is printed in front Clean up everything, introducing new macros and separating out the station MLME debugging into a new Kconfig symbol.

mac80211: remove TKIP debug

2012-06-22T09:26:58Z

The TKIP code hasn't been changed in a very long time, so it seems unlikely that anyone really has a need for the TKIP debug code. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization framework

2012-04-10T19:20:31Z

This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec. 13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012). The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the following functions: rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is received. adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about to be transmitted. The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific methods. When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default) mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other and compensate clock drift. In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while introducing a jitter of ~20us. It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links, etc. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch Signed-off-by: Pavel Zubarev Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: remove tracing config symbol

2011-11-28T19:44:09Z

There's little point in this config symbol, if tracing is disabled the overhead is negligible and if you think it's too bad you can always turn off tracing completely. Also remove the part where we don't have sparse check the tracing code -- it seems that it can now deal with it (or the code changed). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: handle TDLS high-level commands and frames

2011-09-30T19:57:07Z

Register and implement the TDLS cfg80211 callback functions. Internally prepare and send TDLS management frames. We incorporate local STA capabilities and supported rates with extra IEs given by usermode. The resulting packet is either encapsulated in a data frame, or assembled as an action frame. It is transmitted either directly or through the AP, as mandated by the TDLS specification. Declare support for the TDLS external setup wiphy capability. This tells usermode to handle link setup and discovery on its own, and use the kernel driver for sending TDLS mgmt packets. Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov Cc: Kalyan C Gaddam Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: improve mpath debugging

2011-08-24T17:59:41Z

make hwmp_dbg print the relevant sdata->name by default and improve formatting. Also add mpath_dbg macro for debugging of mesh path operations. Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: remove the dependency on crypto_blkcipher

2011-04-04T20:20:00Z

The only thing that using crypto_blkcipher with ecb does over just using arc4 directly is wrapping the encrypt/decrypt function into a for loop, looping over each individual character. To be able to do this, it pulls in around 40 kb worth of unnecessary kernel modules (at least on a MIPS embedded device). Using arc4 directly not only eliminates those dependencies, it also makes the code smaller. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: make rate control Kconfig warning depend on mac80211

... Otherwise it is displayed when mac80211 isn't even turned on, which is completely pointless. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
