mac80211: Fix mac80211.h docbook comments

2015-05-28T12:37:43Z

A couple of enums in mac80211.h became structures recently, but the comments didn't follow suit, leading to errors like: Error(.//include/net/mac80211.h:367): Cannot parse enum! Documentation/DocBook/Makefile:93: recipe for target 'Documentation/DocBook/80211.xml' failed make[1]: *** [Documentation/DocBook/80211.xml] Error 1 Makefile:1361: recipe for target 'mandocs' failed make: *** [mandocs] Error 2 Fix the comments comments accordingly. Added a couple of other small comment fixes while I was there to silence other recently-added docbook warnings. Reported-by: Jim Davis Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: fix 90 kernel-doc warnings

Eliminate 90 of these warnings: Warning(..//include/net/mac80211.h:1682): No description found for parameter 'drv_priv[0]' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: move IE split utilities here from mac80211

2015-04-07T11:56:41Z

As the next patch will require the IE splitting utility functions in cfg80211, move them there from mac80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation

2015-04-01T18:44:34Z

This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs. The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver - queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue management later without changing drivers using this code. This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

mac80211: make sta.wme indicate whether QoS is used

2015-03-30T08:47:16Z

Indicating just the peer's capability is fairly pointless if the local device doesn't support it. Make the variable track both combined, and remove the 'local support' check in the TX path. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: notify the driver about deauth

2015-03-30T08:17:12Z

This can allow the driver to take action based on the reason of the deauth. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: notify the driver about association status

2015-03-30T08:17:11Z

This can allow the driver to take action based on the success / failure of the association. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: notify the driver about authentication status

2015-03-30T08:17:10Z

This can allow the driver to take action based on the success / failure of the authentication. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: convert rssi_callback() to event_callback()

2015-03-30T08:17:09Z

We will be able to add more events, such as MLME events and others. The low level driver may be interested in knowing about these events to dump firmware data upon failures, or to change parameters in case connection attempts fail etc...

mac80211: allow to get wireless_dev structure from ieee80211_vif

2015-03-16T08:30:30Z

This will allow mac80211 drivers to call cfg80211 APIs with the right handle. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
