mac802154: Fixes kernel oops when unloading a radio driver

Destroying the workqueue before unregistering the net device caused a kernel oops Signed-off-by: Koen Zandberg Acked-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

mac802154: change frame_retries behaviour

2015-08-10T18:43:06Z

This patch changes the default minimum value of frame_retries to 0 and changes the frame_retries default value to 3 which is also 802.15.4 default. We don't use the frame_retries "-1" value as indicator for no-aret mode anymore, instead we checking on the ack request bit inside the 802.15.4 frame control field. This allows a acknowledge handling per frame. This checking is done by transceiver or inside xmit callback of driver layer. If a transceiver doesn't support ARET handling the transmit functionality ignores ack frames then, which isn't well but should not effect anything of current functionality.

mac802154: Fix memory corruption with global deferred transmit state.

2015-07-30T12:08:55Z

When transmitting a packet via a mac802154 driver that can sleep in its transmit function, mac802154 defers the call to the driver's transmit function to a per-device workqueue. However, mac802154 uses a single global work_struct for this, which means that if you have more than one registered mac802154 interface in the system, and you transmit on more than one of them at the same time, you'll very easily cause memory corruption. This patch moves the deferred transmit processing state from global variables to struct ieee802154_local, and this seems to fix the memory corruption issue.

mac802154: fix ieee802154_rx handling

2015-07-23T15:10:50Z

Instead of passing ieee802154_hw pointer to ieee802154_rx, we can directly pass the ieee802154_local pointer. Signed-off-by: Varka Bhadram Acked-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

mac802154: use WARN_ON() macro

2015-07-23T15:10:48Z

This patch will generate the warning if the required driver ops were not defined. Also it removes unnecessary debug message. Signed-off-by: Varka Bhadram Acked-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

ieee802154: add several phy supported handling

2015-05-19T09:44:42Z

This patch adds support for phy supported handling for all other already existing handling 802.15.4 functionality. We assume now a fully 802.15.4 complaint transceiver at phy allocation. If a transceiver can support 802.15.4 default values only, then the values should be overwirtten by values the transceiver supports. If the transceiver doesn't set the according hardware flags, we assume the 802.15.4 defaults now which cannot be changed.

cfg802154: pass name_assign_type to rdev_add_virtual_intf()

2015-04-30T16:48:10Z

This code is based on commit 6bab2e19c5ffd ("cfg80211: pass name_assign_type to rdev_add_virtual_intf()") This will expose in sysfs whether the ifname of a IEEE-802.15.4 device is set by userspace or generated by the kernel. We are using two types of name_assign_types o NET_NAME_ENUM: Default interface name provided by kernel o NET_NAME_USER: Interface name provided by user.

mac802154: fix ieee802154_register_hw error handling

2015-04-30T16:46:21Z

Currently if ieee802154_if_add failed, we don't unregister the wpan phy which was registered before. This patch adds a correct error handling for unregister the wpan phy when ieee802154_if_add failed. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann
