2015-09-22	ieee802154: change needed headroom/tailroom	Alexander Aring	1	-1/+1
	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.

2015-09-22	ieee802154: header_ops: fix frame control setting	Alexander Aring	1	-9/+9
	Sometimes upper-layer protocols wants to generate a new mac header by filling "struct ieee802154_hdr" only. These upper-layers sets for the address settings the source and dest fields, but not the fc fields for indicate the source and dest address mode. This patch changes the "ieee802154_hdr_push" function so the fc address fields are set according the source and dest fields of "struct ieee802154_hdr".

2014-10-25	ieee802154: move ieee802154 header	Alexander Aring	1	-1/+2
	This patch moves the ieee802154 header into include/linux instead include/net. Similar like wireless which have the ieee80211 header inside of include/linux. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Cc: Alan Ott <alan@signal11.us> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2014-05-15	ieee802154: add definitions for link-layer security and header functions	Phoebe Buckheister	1	-7/+45
	When dealing with 802.15.4, one often has to know the maximum payload size for a given packet. This depends on many factors, one of which is whether or not a security header is present in the frame. These definitions and functions provide an easy way for any upper layer to calculate the maximum payload size for a packet. The first obvious user for this is 6lowpan, which duplicates this calculation and gets it partially wrong because it ignores security headers.

2014-03-14	ieee802154: add header structs with endiannes and operations	Phoebe Buckheister	1	-0/+287
	This patch provides a set of structures to represent 802.15.4 MAC headers, and a set of operations to push/pull/peek these structs from skbs. We cannot simply pointer-cast the skb MAC header pointer to these structs, because 802.15.4 headers are wildly variable - depending on the first three bytes, virtually all other fields of the header may be present or not, and be present with different lengths. The new header creation/parsing routines also support 802.15.4 security headers, which are currently not supported by the mac802154 implementation of the protocol.
