mac802154: fix NOHZ local_softirq_pending 08 warning

2013-01-11T17:18:52Z

[ Upstream commit 5ff3fec6d3fc848753c2fa30b18607358f89a202 ] When using nanosleep() in an userspace application we get a ratelimit warning NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 for 10 times. This patch replaces netif_rx() with netif_rx_ni() which has to be used from process/softirq context. The process/softirq context will be called from fakelb driver. See linux-kernel commit 481a819 for similar fix. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2012-06-29T00:37:00Z

Conflicts: drivers/net/caif/caif_hsi.c drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c The qmi_wwan merge was trivial. The caif_hsi.c, on the other hand, was not. It's a conflict between 1c385f1fdf6f9c66d982802cd74349c040980b50 ("caif-hsi: Replace platform device with ops structure.") in the net-next tree and commit 39abbaef19cd0a30be93794aa4773c779c3eb1f3 ("caif-hsi: Postpone init of HIS until open()") in the net tree. I did my best with that one and will ask Sjur to check it out. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mac802154: add wpan device-class support

2012-06-27T04:06:11Z

Every real 802.15.4 transceiver, which works with software MAC layer, can be classified as a wpan device in this stack. So the wpan device implementation provides missing link in datapath between the device drivers and the Linux network queue. According to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard each packet can be one of the following types: - beacon - MAC layer command - ACK - data This patch adds support for the data packet-type only, but this is enough to perform data transmission and receiving over radio.
