2015-12-10mac802154: tx: fix synced xmit deadlockAlexander Aring
This patch reverts 6001d52 ("mac802154: tx: don't allow if down while sync tx"). This has side effects with stop callback which flush the transmit workqueue. The stop callback will wait until the workqueue is flushed and holding the rtnl lock. That means it can happen that the stop callback waits forever because it try to lock the rtnl mutex which is already hold by stop callback.

2015-09-30ieee802154: change mtu size behaviourAlexander Aring
This patch changes the mtu size of 802.15.4 interfaces. The current setting is the meaning of the maximum transport unit with mac header, which is 127 bytes according 802.15.4. The linux meaning of the mtu size field is the maximum payload of a mac frame. Like in ethernet, which is 1500 bytes. We have dynamic length of mac frames in 802.15.4, this is why we assume the minimum header length which is hard_header_len. This contains fc and sequence fields. These can evaluated by driver layer without additional checks. We currently don't support to set the FCS from userspace, so we need to subtract this from mtu size as well.

2015-09-30mac802154: add comments for llsec issuesAlexander Aring
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.

2015-09-22mac802154: tx: add warning if MTU exceedsAlexander Aring
Sending over AF_PACKET RAW sockets we can sending frames which exceeds MTU size. To handling it correct we need to change things in AF_PACKET which knows on RAW sockets an additional FCS is set by hardware or mac802154 transmit functionality.

2015-09-22ieee802154: change needed headroom/tailroomAlexander Aring
This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces. For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4. The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET raw sockets. For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.

2015-07-30mac802154: Fix memory corruption with global deferred transmit state.Lennert Buytenhek
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.

2014-11-13mac802154: add interframe spacing time handlingAlexander Aring
This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154 layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit. This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time. For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call spi_sync. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2014-10-29mac802154: separate omit tx/rx flagsAlexander Aring
This patch splits the IEEE802154_HW_OMIT_CKSUM hardware flag into IEEE802154_HW_TX_OMIT_CKSUM and IEEE802154_HW_RX_OMIT_CKSUM. This is useful to deliver the received crc from the driver layer to the monitor interface. At the moment we can't do that without change the xmit handling. The received checksum should be visible in monitor mode only. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2014-10-27mac802154: tx: remove monitor receive while xmitAlexander Aring
This removes the call of monitor receive funktion when any interface type call xmit. There exist no such use case that a monitor interface should receive the actual sending frame. One use case could be that a wpan interface and monitor interface could be running at the same time on one phy. Then the monitor interface receives the wpan frames also. Furthermore we adding support for promiscous mode setting. With promiscous mode setting we can't run a wpan and monitor interface at the same time.

2014-10-26mac802154: tx: make worker information staticAlexander Aring
This patch moves the worker information struct out of skb control block. Instead control block we declare it static inside of tx.c file. We can do that, because the worker can't be used twice at the same time. It's protected by stop and wake netdev queue. This patch fix an issue that the "struct ieee802154_xmit_cb" doesn't fit into the skb control block on some kernel configuartion reported by kbuild test robot. It was introduced by commit fe24371d6645b766c59ec664c59d0a9c310ad455 ("mac802154: tx: remove kmalloc in xmit hotpath").
