mac802154: move ieee802154_dev.c to main.c

2014-10-25T19:39:54+00:00

The ieee802154_dev functionality contains various function for allocation and registration of an ieee802154_dev. This is equal to the net/mac80211/main.c file. This patch rename the ieee802154_dev.c to main.c to have the same behaviour. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

mac802154: at86rf230: add hw flags and merge ops

2014-07-08T04:29:24+00:00

This patch adds new mac802154 hw flags for transmit power, csma and listen before transmit (lbt). These flags indicates that the transceiver supports these features. If the flags are set and the driver doesn't implement the necessary functions, then ieee802154_register_device returns -ENOSYS "Function not implemented". This patch merges also all at86rf230 operations into one operations structure and set the right hw flags for the at86rf230 transceivers. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mac802154: make csma/cca parameters per-wpan

2014-04-01T20:25:51+00:00

Commit 9b2777d6089bcd (ieee802154: add TX power control to wpan_phy) and following erroneously added CSMA and CCA parameters for 802.15.4 devices as PHY parameters, while they are actually MAC parameters and can differ for any two WPAN instances. Since it is now sensible to have multiple WPAN devices with differing CSMA/CCA parameters, make these parameters MAC parameters instead. Signed-off-by: Phoebe Buckheister Signed-off-by: David S.

mac802154: allow only one WPAN to be up at any given time

2014-04-01T20:25:51+00:00

All 802.15.4 PHY devices with drivers in tree can support only one WPAN at any given time, yet the stack allows arbitrarily many WPAN devices to be created and up at the same time. This cannot work with what the hardware provides, and in the current implementation, provides an easy DoS vector to any process on the system that may call socket() and sendmsg(). Thus, allow only one WPAN per PHY to be up at once, just like mac80211 does for managed devices. Signed-off-by: Phoebe Buckheister Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ieee802154: enforce consistent endianness in the 802.15.4 stack

2014-03-15T02:15:26+00:00

Enable sparse warnings about endianness, replace the remaining fields regarding network operations without explicit endianness annotations with such that are annotated, and propagate this through the entire stack. Uses of ieee802154_addr_sa are not changed yet, this patch is only concerned with all other fields (such as address filters, operation parameters and the likes).

ieee802154: add netlink APIs for smartMAC configuration

2014-02-17T21:42:39+00:00

Introduce new netlink attributes for SET_PHY_ATTRS: * CSMA minimal backoff exponent * CSMA maximal backoff exponent * CSMA retry limit * frame retransmission limit The CSMA attributes shall correspond to minBE, maxBE and maxCSMABackoffs of 802.15.4, respectively. The frame retransmission shall correspond to maxFrameRetries of 802.15.4, unless given as -1: then the old behaviour of the stack shall apply. For RF2xy, the old behaviour is to not do channel sensing at all and simply send *right now*, which is not intended behaviour for most applications and actually prohibited for some channel/page combinations. For all values except frame retransmission limit, the defaults of 802.15.4 apply. Frame retransmission limits are set to -1 to indicate backward-compatible behaviour.
