wifi: mac80211: support parsing S1G TIM PVB

2025-09-04T09:19:01Z

An S1G TIM PVB has 3 mandatory encoding modes, that being block bitmap, single AID and OBL alongside the ability for each encoding mode to be inverted. Introduce the ability to parse the 3 encoding formats. The implementation specification for the encoding formats can be found in IEEE80211-2024 9.4.2.5.

wifi: mac80211: consistently use u64 for BSS changes

Currently, enum ieee80211_bss_change has more than 32 flags. Change the type of the corresponding variables from u32 to u64.

mac80211: mesh: fix potentially unaligned access

2021-09-23T11:25:09Z

The pointer here points directly into the frame, so the access is potentially unaligned. Use get_unaligned_le16 to avoid that.

mac80211: swap NEED_TXPROCESSING and HW_80211_ENCAP tx flags

2020-09-18T10:13:06Z

In order to unify the tx status path, the hw 802.11 encapsulation flag needs to survive the trip to the tx status call. Since we don't have any free bits in info->flags, we need to move one. IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING is only used internally in mac80211, and only before the call into the driver.

networking: make skb_put & friends return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:39Z

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three users overall. A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. In the former file, I also had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

networking: convert many more places to skb_put_zero()

2017-06-16T15:48:35Z

There were many places that my previous spatch didn't find, as pointed out by yuan linyu in various patches. The following spatch found many more and also removes the now unnecessary casts: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len; expression skb; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len); ) ... when != p ( p2 = (t2)p; -memset(p2, 0, len); | -memset(p, 0, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb; @@ t *p; ... ( -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, sizeof(t)); | -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, sizeof(t)); ) ... when != p ( p2 = (t2)p; -memset(p2, 0, sizeof(*p)); | -memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p)); ) @@ expression skb, len; @@ -memset(skb_put(skb, len), 0, len); +skb_put_zero(skb, len); Apply it to the tree (with one manual fixup to keep the comment in vxlan.c, which spatch removed.)

mac80211: mesh: separate plid and aid concepts

2015-07-17T13:47:11Z

According to 802.11-2012 13.3.1, a mesh STA should assign an AID upon receipt of a mesh peering open frame rather than using the link id of the peer. Using the peer link id has two potential issues: it may not be unique among the peers, and by its nature it is random, so the TIM may not compress well. In preparation for allocating it properly, use sta->sta.aid, but keep the existing behavior of using the plid in the aid we send. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
