brcm80211: move under broadcom vendor directory

2015-11-18T09:24:22Z

Part of reorganising wireless drivers directory and Kconfig. Note that I had to edit Makefiles from subdirectories to use the new location. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

net: brcm80211: fix range check

2015-09-22T23:14:32Z

Unsigned minus constant is still unsigned so checking its sign makes no sense. The problem has been detected using proposed semantic patch scripts/coccinelle/tests/unsigned_lesser_than_zero.cocci [1].

mac80211: allow to transmit A-MSDU within A-MPDU

2015-09-22T13:21:23Z

Advertise the capability to send A-MSDU within A-MPDU in the AddBA request sent by mac80211. Let the driver know about the peer's capabilities. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36Z

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.

mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC

2015-04-24T09:14:13Z

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Add BQL support to via-rhine, from Tino Reichardt. 2) Integrate SWITCHDEV layer support into the DSA layer, so DSA drivers can support hw switch offloading. From Floria Fainelli. 3) Allow 'ip address' commands to initiate multicast group join/leave, from Madhu Challa. 4) Many ipv4 FIB lookup optimizations from Alexander Duyck. 5) Support EBPF in cls_bpf classifier and act_bpf action, from Daniel Borkmann. 6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25, rose, etc. And use this to clean up the neigh layer, then use it to implement MPLS support. All from Eric Biederman. 7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman. 8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed up route lookups even further. From Alexander Duyck. 9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation, from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf. In particular, in the case where an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty table, we expand the table much more sanely. 10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric Biederman. 11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov. 12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be established in the main hash table. Much less false sharing since hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed underneath. From Eric Dumazet. 13) Add async I/O support for crytpo AF_ALG sockets, from Tadeusz Struk. 14) Support stable privacy address generation for RFC7217 in IPV6. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 15) Hash network namespace into IP frag IDs, also from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 16) Convert PTP get/set methods to use 64-bit time, from Richard Cochran. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1816 commits) fm10k: Bump driver version to 0.15.2 fm10k: corrected VF multicast update fm10k: mbx_update_max_size does not drop all oversized messages fm10k: reset head instead of calling update_max_size fm10k: renamed mbx_tx_dropped to mbx_tx_oversized fm10k: update xcast mode before synchronizing multicast addresses fm10k: start service timer on probe fm10k: fix function header comment fm10k: comment next_vf_mbx flow fm10k: don't handle mailbox events in iov_event path and always process mailbox fm10k: use separate workqueue for fm10k driver fm10k: Set PF queues to unlimited bandwidth during virtualization fm10k: expose tx_timeout_count as an ethtool stat fm10k: only increment tx_timeout_count in Tx hang path fm10k: remove extraneous "Reset interface" message fm10k: separate PF only stats so that VF does not display them fm10k: use hw->mac.max_queues for stats fm10k: only show actual queues, not the maximum in hardware fm10k: allow creation of VLAN on default vid fm10k: fix unused warnings ...

brcmsmac: Move each system tracepoints to their own header

2015-04-08T13:39:31Z

Every tracing file must have its own TRACE_SYSTEM defined. The brcmsmac tracepoint header broke this and added in the middle of the file: #undef TRACE_SYSTEM #define TRACE_SYSTEM brcmsmac #undef TRACE_SYSTEM #define TRACE_SYSTEM brcmsmac_tx #undef TRACE_SYSTEM #define TRACE_SYSTEM brcmsmac_msg Unfortunately, this broke new code in the ftrace infrastructure. Moving each of these TRACE_SYSTEMs into their own trace file with just one TRACE_SYSTEM per file fixes the issue.
