ieee802154: add definitions for link-layer security and header functions

2014-05-15T19:51:42Z

When dealing with 802.15.4, one often has to know the maximum payload size for a given packet. This depends on many factors, one of which is whether or not a security header is present in the frame. These definitions and functions provide an easy way for any upper layer to calculate the maximum payload size for a packet. The first obvious user for this is 6lowpan, which duplicates this calculation and gets it partially wrong because it ignores security headers.

ieee802154: add header structs with endiannes and operations

2014-03-15T02:15:26Z

This patch provides a set of structures to represent 802.15.4 MAC headers, and a set of operations to push/pull/peek these structs from skbs. We cannot simply pointer-cast the skb MAC header pointer to these structs, because 802.15.4 headers are wildly variable - depending on the first three bytes, virtually all other fields of the header may be present or not, and be present with different lengths. The new header creation/parsing routines also support 802.15.4 security headers, which are currently not supported by the mac802154 implementation of the protocol.

ieee802154: move headers out of extra directory

2009-07-23T13:08:51Z

include/net/ieee802154/af_ieee802154.h (and others) naming seems to be too long and redundant. Drop one level of subdirectories. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov
