2016-09-19mac802154: set phy net namespace for new ifacesAlexander Aring
This patch sets the net namespace when creating SoftMAC interfaces. This is important if the namespace at phy layer was switched before. Currently we losing interfaces in some namespace and it's not possible to recover that. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <aar@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
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.

2015-09-24mac802154: iface: assume big endian for af_packetAlexander Aring
The callback "create" and "parse" from header_ops are called from netdev core upper-layer functionality, like af_packet. These callbacks assumes big endian for addresses and we should not introduce a special byteordering handling for ieee802154 over af_packet in userspace. We have an identical issue with setting the mac address which also assumes big endian byteordering.

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.

2015-09-22ieee802154: introduce wpan_dev_header_opsAlexander Aring
The current header_ops callback structure of net device are used mostly from 802.15.4 upper-layers. Because this callback structure is a very generic one, which is also used by e.g. DGRAM AF_PACKET sockets, we can't make this callback structure 802.15.4 specific which is currently is. I saw the smallest "constraint" for calling this callback with dev_hard_header/dev_parse_header by AF_PACKET which assign a 8 byte array for address void pointers. Currently 802.15.4 specific protocols like af802154 and 6LoWPAN will assign the "struct ieee802154_addr" as these parameters which is greater than 8 bytes. The current callback implementation for header_ops.create assumes always a complete "struct ieee802154_addr" which AF_PACKET can't never handled and is greater than 8 bytes. For that reason we introduce now a "generic" create/parse header_ops callback which allows handling with intra-pan extended addresses only. This allows a small use-case with AF_PACKET to send "somehow" a valid dataframe over DGRAM. To keeping the current dev_hard_header behaviour we introduce a similar callback structure "wpan_dev_header_ops" which contains 802.15.4 specific upper-layer header creation functionality, which can be called by wpan_dev_hard_header.

2015-08-10mac802154: change frame_retries behaviourAlexander Aring
This patch changes the default minimum value of frame_retries to 0 and changes the frame_retries default value to 3 which is also 802.15.4 default. We don't use the frame_retries "-1" value as indicator for no-aret mode anymore, instead we checking on the ack request bit inside the 802.15.4 frame control field. This allows a acknowledge handling per frame. This checking is done by transceiver or inside xmit callback of driver layer. If a transceiver doesn't support ARET handling the transmit functionality ignores ack frames then, which isn't well but should not effect anything of current functionality.

2015-08-10mac802154: fix wpan mac setting while lowpan is thereAlexander Aring
If we currently change the mac address inside the wpan interface while we have a lowpan interface on top of the wpan interface, the mac address setting doesn't reach the lowpan interface. The effect would be that the IPv6 lowpan interface has the old SLAAC address and isn't working anymore because the lowpan interface use in internal mechanism sometimes dev->addr which is the old mac address of the wpan interface. This patch checks if a wpan interface belongs to lowpan interface, if yes then we need to check if the lowpan interface is down and change the mac address also at the lowpan interface. When the lowpan interface will be set up afterwards, it will use the correct SLAAC address which based on the updated mac address setting.

The hardware setup contains settings like address filtering which should be setup before activate the receive handling on the transceiver. These setting are protected by ieee802154_check_concurrent_iface check. This means we need to set these registers once before calling drv_start and can't be overwritten by other interfaces.

2015-05-23mac802154: remove mib lockAlexander Aring
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.

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.
