mac80211: convert to channel definition struct

2012-11-26T11:42:59Z

Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel type

2012-11-26T11:42:58Z

As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: make remain_on_channel() op pass vif param

2012-11-19T15:20:37Z

Drivers (e.g. wl12xx) might need to know the vif to roc on (mainly in order to configure the rx filters correctly). Add the vif to the op params, and update the current users (iwlwifi) to use the new api. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller [fix hwsim] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: call driver method when restart completes

2012-11-09T16:34:35Z

When the driver requests a restart (reconfiguration) it gets all the normal method calls, but can't really tell why they're happening. Call a new restart_complete op in the driver when the restart completes, so it could keep its own state about the restart and clear it there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: remove unused tracepoint

2012-11-09T16:30:50Z

Clearly the tracepoint drv_offchannel_tx was forgotten when that functionality was removed, remove it now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: pass P2P powersave parameters to driver

2012-11-06T12:25:06Z

While connected to a GO, parse the P2P NoA attribute and pass the CT Window and opportunistic powersave parameters to the driver. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: handle TX power per virtual interface

2012-10-30T08:11:34Z

Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a single global TX power limit was already problematic, in particular if two managed interfaces connected to two APs with different power constraints. The channel context introduction completely broke this though and in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there for drivers using channel contexts. Change everything to track TX power per interface so that different user settings and different channel maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking the global TX power though for compatibility with applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's TX power globally. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: add explicit AP/GO driver operations

2012-10-26T10:57:06Z

Depending on the driver, a lot of setup may be necessary to start operating as an AP, some of which may fail. Add an explicit AP start driver method to make such failures easier to handle, and add an AP stop driver method for symmetry. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: complete bss_info tracing

2012-10-25T11:54:09Z

Some fields have been added but were missed in tracing, add them now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: track needed RX chains for channel contexts

2012-10-17T09:02:09Z

On each channel that the device is operating on, it may need to listen using one or more chains depending on the SMPS settings of the interfaces using it. The previous channel context changes completely removed this ability (before, it was available as the SMPS mode). Add per-context tracking of the required static and dynamic RX chains and notify the driver on changes. To achieve this, track the chains and SMPS mode used on each virtual interface and update the channel context whenever this changes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
