net: set name_assign_type in alloc_netdev()

2014-07-15T23:12:48Z

Extend alloc_netdev{,_mq{,s}}() to take name_assign_type as argument, and convert all users to pass NET_NAME_UNKNOWN.

mac802154: at86rf230: add hw flags and merge ops

2014-07-08T04:29:24Z

This patch adds new mac802154 hw flags for transmit power, csma and listen before transmit (lbt). These flags indicates that the transceiver supports these features. If the flags are set and the driver doesn't implement the necessary functions, then ieee802154_register_device returns -ENOSYS "Function not implemented". This patch merges also all at86rf230 operations into one operations structure and set the right hw flags for the at86rf230 transceivers. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

6lowpan: mac802154: fix coding style issues

2014-07-08T03:55:22Z

This patch fixed the coding style issues reported by checkpatch.pl following issues fixed: CHECK: Alignment should match open parenthesis WARNING: line over 80 characters CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}' WARNING: networking block comments don't use an empty /* line, use /* Comment... WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations WARNING: networking block comments start with * on subsequent lines CHECK: braces {} should be used on all arms of this statement Signed-off-by: Varka Bhadram Tested-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: David S.

mac802154: make csma/cca parameters per-wpan

2014-04-01T20:25:51Z

Commit 9b2777d6089bcd (ieee802154: add TX power control to wpan_phy) and following erroneously added CSMA and CCA parameters for 802.15.4 devices as PHY parameters, while they are actually MAC parameters and can differ for any two WPAN instances. Since it is now sensible to have multiple WPAN devices with differing CSMA/CCA parameters, make these parameters MAC parameters instead. Signed-off-by: Phoebe Buckheister Signed-off-by: David S.

mac802154: allow only one WPAN to be up at any given time

2014-04-01T20:25:51Z

All 802.15.4 PHY devices with drivers in tree can support only one WPAN at any given time, yet the stack allows arbitrarily many WPAN devices to be created and up at the same time. This cannot work with what the hardware provides, and in the current implementation, provides an easy DoS vector to any process on the system that may call socket() and sendmsg(). Thus, allow only one WPAN per PHY to be up at once, just like mac80211 does for managed devices. Signed-off-by: Phoebe Buckheister Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ieee802154: enforce consistent endianness in the 802.15.4 stack

2014-03-15T02:15:26Z

Enable sparse warnings about endianness, replace the remaining fields regarding network operations without explicit endianness annotations with such that are annotated, and propagate this through the entire stack. Uses of ieee802154_addr_sa are not changed yet, this patch is only concerned with all other fields (such as address filters, operation parameters and the likes).

ieee802154: add netlink APIs for smartMAC configuration

2014-02-17T21:42:39Z

Introduce new netlink attributes for SET_PHY_ATTRS: * CSMA minimal backoff exponent * CSMA maximal backoff exponent * CSMA retry limit * frame retransmission limit The CSMA attributes shall correspond to minBE, maxBE and maxCSMABackoffs of 802.15.4, respectively. The frame retransmission shall correspond to maxFrameRetries of 802.15.4, unless given as -1: then the old behaviour of the stack shall apply. For RF2xy, the old behaviour is to not do channel sensing at all and simply send *right now*, which is not intended behaviour for most applications and actually prohibited for some channel/page combinations. For all values except frame retransmission limit, the defaults of 802.15.4 apply. Frame retransmission limits are set to -1 to indicate backward-compatible behaviour.

ieee802154: add support for setting CCA energy detection levels

2014-02-17T21:42:38Z

Since three of the four clear channel assesment modes make use of energy detection, provide an API to set the energy detection threshold. Driver support for this is available in at86rf230 for the RF212 chips. Since for these chips the minimal energy detection threshold depends on page and channel used, add a field to struct at86rf230_local that stores the minimal threshold. Actual ED thresholds are configured as offsets from this value. For RF212, setting the ED threshold will not work before a channel/page has been set due to the dependency of energy detection in the chip and the actual channel/page selected.

ieee802154: add support for CCA mode in wpan phys

2014-02-17T21:42:38Z

The standard describes four modes of clear channel assesment: "energy above threshold", "carrier found", and the logical and/or of these two. Support for CCA mode setting is included in the at86rf230 driver, predicated for RF212 chips. Signed-off-by: Phoebe Buckheister Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ieee802154: add support for listen-before-talk in wpan_phy

2014-02-17T21:42:38Z

Listen-before-talk is an alternative to CSMA in uncoordinated networks and prescribed by european regulations if one wants to have a device with radio duty cycles above 10% (or less in some bands). Add a phy property to enable/disable LBT in the phy, including support in the at86rf230 driver for RF212 chips. Signed-off-by: Phoebe Buckheister Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
