rtlwifi: rtl818x: Move drivers into new realtek directory

2015-10-14T10:33:10+00:00

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted, it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are visable to the user. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36+00:00

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

rtlwifi: Add encryption argument in rtl_is_special_data for checking DHCP packet.

2015-04-07T17:09:04+00:00

rtl8192cu can't connect to AP after physical reconnect. according to dmesg, that problem's cause was DHCP timeout. rtl_is_special_data function checks packet type for adjusting rate. when that function is called from _rtl_rc_get_highest_rix, it can not calculate offset correctly. so i add argument is_encn in rtl_is_special_data. is_enc variable mean that iv header is added in skb parameter. i test only rtl8192cu chipset. because i doesn't have other rtlwifi chipsets.

rtlwifi: Improve handling of IPv6 packets

2015-03-03T15:07:05+00:00

Routine rtl_is_special_data() is supposed to identify packets that need to use a low bit rate so that the probability of successful transmission is high. The current version has a bug that causes all IPv6 packets to be labelled as special, with a corresponding low rate of transmission. A complete fix will be quite intrusive, but until that is available, all IPv6 packets are identified as regular. This patch also removes a magic number.

rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Switch to use common rate control routine

2014-12-24T16:34:29+00:00

With this change, all of the drivers now use the common routine. As this driver has VHT capability, an additional parameter is needed, thus all the drivers had to be modified. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

rtlwifi: Convert all drivers to use a common set of rate descriptors

2014-12-24T16:32:39+00:00

This common set of rate descriptors is renamed to be DESC_RATExx. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

rtlwifi: Remove extraneous argument for rate mapping

2014-12-24T16:30:54+00:00

Four of the drivers (92ce, 92cu, 92de, and 92se) supply an argument to the rate-mapping routine that is never used, thus it can be removed. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

rtlwifi: prevent format string usage from leaking

Use "%s" in the workqueue allocation to make sure the rtl_hal_cfg name can never accidentally leak information via a format string. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

rtlwifi: Modify core.c for new drivers

2014-09-26T21:22:27+00:00

Each of the routines in the rtlwifi common driver needs to be modified for the coming changes. This patch prepares core.c, but also touches other files. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
