mac802154: don't warn on unsupported frames

2016-09-19T18:19:34Z

Just because we don't support certain types of frames yet doesn't mean we have to flood the message log with warnings about "invalid" frames. Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski Acked-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

mac802154: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree_skb"

2015-11-19T16:50:32Z

The kfree_skb() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

mac802154: add comments for llsec issues

2015-09-30T11:16:44Z

While doing a little test with the llsec implementation I saw these issues. We should move decryption and encruption somewhere else, otherwise while capturing with wireshark the mac header shows secuirty fields but the payload is plaintext. A complete other issue is what doing with HardMAC drivers where the payload is always plaintext. I think we need a special handling then in userspace. We currently doesn't support any HardMAC transceivers, so we should fix the first issue for SoftMAC transceivers. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

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: do not export ieee802154_rx()

2015-07-23T15:10:50Z

Right now there are no other users for ieee802154_rx() in kernel. So lets remove EXPORT_SYMBOL() for this. Also it moves the function prototype from global header file to local header file. Signed-off-by: Varka Bhadram Acked-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

mac802154: cfg: add suspend and resume callbacks

2015-07-23T15:10:49Z

This patch introduces suspend and resume callbacks to mac802154. When doing suspend we calling the stop driver callback which should stop the receiving of frames. A transceiver should go into low-power mode then. Calling resume will call the start driver callback, which starts receiving again and allow to transmit frames. This was tested only with the fakelb driver and a qemu vm by doing the following commands: echo "devices" > /sys/power/pm_test echo "freeze" > /sys/power/state while doing some high traffic between two fakelb phys.

mac802154: rx packet handle cleanup

2015-06-14T23:20:17Z

This patch replaces !netif_running(sdata->dev) with !ieee802154_sdata_running(sdata) and also devide the code two separate if branches. Signed-off-by: Varka Bhadram Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

mac802154: remove unneeded vif struct

2015-06-07T07:13:32Z

This patch removes the virtual interface structure from sub if data struct, because it isn't used anywhere. This structure could be useful for give per interface information at softmac driver layer. Nevertheless there exist no use case currently and it contains the interface type information currently. This information is also stored inside wpan dev which is now used to check on the wpan dev interface type.

mac802154: remove mib lock

2015-05-23T15:57:08Z

This patch removes the mib lock. The new locking mechanism is to protect the mib values with the rtnl lock. Note that this isn't always necessary if we have an interface up the most mib values are readonly (e.g. address settings). With this behaviour we can remove locking in hotpath like frame parsing completely. It depends on context if we need to hold the rtnl lock or not, this makes the callbacks of ieee802154_mlme_ops unnecessary because these callbacks hols always the locks.
