2011-10-31drivers/net: Add export.h to files using EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULEPaul Gortmaker
These were getting the macros from an implicit module.h include via device.h, but we are planning to clean that up. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> drivers/net: Add export.h to wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/bcmsdh.c This relatively recently added file uses EXPORT_SYMBOL and hence needs export.h included so that it is compatible with the module.h split up work.

2011-08-08libertas: link mesh device to wiphyDaniel Drake
The mesh device is now exposed as an interface of the wiphy. This exposes the mesh device to the cfg80211 interface, allowing mesh channel selection to be reimplemented, and available to NetworkManager as it was before. Some header tweaking was needed in order to implement lbs_mesh_activated(). Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org> Acked-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the last closing brace of void functions. It does not remove the returns that are immediately preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that. It also does not remove null void functions with return.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-04-22libertas: add support for Marvell SD8688 chipBing Zhao
libertas: add support for Marvell SD8688 chip Use RxPD->pkt_ptr to locate eth803 header in the packet received since SD8688/v10 firmware allows a gap between RxPD and eth803 header. Set SDIO block size to 256 for CMD53. The maximum block size for SD8688 WLAN function is set to 512 in TPLFE_MAX_BLK_SIZE. But using 512 as block size results upto 2K bytes data (4 blocks) being transferred and causes buffer overflow in firmware.

2008-04-16libertas: convert libertas driver to use an event/cmdresp queueHolger Schurig
This patch (co-developed by Dan Williams and Holger Schurig) uses a kfifo object for events and a swapping buffer scheme for the command response to preserve the zero-copy semantics of the CF driver and keep memory usage low. The main thread should only ever touch the buffer indexed by priv->resp_idx, while the interface code is free to write to the second buffer, then swap priv->resp_idx under the driver spinlock. The firmware specs only permit one in-flight command, so there will only ever be one command response to process at a time.

Driver support for the monitor mode support that will be available in the next OLPC 'bleeding edge' Marvell firmware release (most likely, 5.110.16.p2). To activate monitor mode, echo mode > /sys/class/net/{ethX,mshX}/device/libertas_rtap where mode is the hex mask that specifies which frames to sniff (in short, 0x1 for data, 0x2 for all management but beacons, 0x4 for beacons). Any non zero mode will activate the monitor mode, inhibiting transmission in ethX and mshX interfaces and routing all the incoming traffic to a new rtapX interface that will output the packets in 802.11+radiotap headers format.

Renamed lbs_dbg_hex() into lbs_deb_hex(), like the other lbs_deb_XXX() macros. Made lbs_deb_hex() issue a line feed (and a new prompt) after 16 bytes. As lbs_deb_hex() now prints the ":" after the prompt by itself, removed the misc colons in the various *.c files. lbs_deb_XXX() now print the debug category as well. As lbs_deb_XXX() --- and especially lbs_deb_11d() --- now print the category, I removed various "11D:" prefixes in 11d.c as well.

Remove unused/duplicated fields and consolidate static data rate arrays, for example the libertas_supported_rates[] and datarates[] arrays in the bss_descriptor structure, and the libertas_supported_rates field in the wlan_adapter structure. Introduce libertas_fw_index_to_data_rate and libertas_data_rate_to_fw_index functions and use them everywhere firmware requires a rate index rather than a rate array. The firmware requires the 4 basic rates to have the MSB set, but most other stuff doesn't, like WEXT and mesh ioctls. Therefore, only set the MSB on basic rates when pushing rate arrays to firmware instead of doing a ton of (rate & 0x7f) everywhere.
