* snmp: add missing counters for RFC 4293Neil Horman2009-04-2713-36/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IP MIB (RFC 4293) defines stats for InOctets, OutOctets, InMcastOctets and OutMcastOctets: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4293 But it seems we don't track those in any way that easy to separate from other protocols. This patch adds those missing counters to the stats file. Tested successfully by me With help from Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * mac80211: calculate maximum sleep intervalJohannes Berg2009-04-222-7/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The maximum sleep interval, for powersave purposes, is determined by the DTIM period (it may not be larger) and the required networking latency (it must be small enough to fulfil those constraints). This makes mac80211 calculate the maximum sleep interval based on those constraints, and pass it to the driver. Then the driver should instruct the device to sleep at most that long. Note that the device is responsible for aligning the maximum sleep interval between DTIMs, we make sure it's not longer but it needs to make sure it's between them. Also, group some powersave documentation together and make it more explicit that we support managed mode only, and no IBSS powersaving (yet).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Regardless of whether the hardware implements beacon filtering, there's no need to process all beacons in software all the time throughout the stack (mac80211 does a lot, then cfg80211, then in the future possibly userspace). This patch implements the "best possible" beacon filtering in mac80211. "Best possible" means that it can look for changes in all requested information elements, and distinguish vendor IEs by their OUI. In the future, we will add nl80211 API for userspace to request information elements and vendor IE OUIs to watch -- drivers can then implement the best they can do while software implements it fully. It is unclear whether or not this actually saves CPU time, but the data is all in the cache already so it should be fairly cheap. The additional _testing_, however, has great benefit; Without this, and on hardware that doesn't implement beacon filtering, wrong assumptions about, for example, scan result updates could quickly creep into code.

| * mac80211: disable powersave if pm_qos asks for low latencyJohannes Berg2009-04-226-15/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an application asks for a latency lower than the beacon interval there's nothing we can do -- we need to stay awake and not have the AP buffer frames for us. Add code to automatically calculate this constraint in mac80211 so drivers need not concern themselves with it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * mac80211: improve powersave implementationJohannes Berg2009-04-225-121/+165
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you have multiple virtual interfaces the current implementation requires setting them up properly from userspace, which is undesirable when we want to default to power save mode. Keep track of powersave requested from userspace per managed mode interface, and only enable powersave globally when exactly one managed mode interface is active and has powersave turned on. Second, only start the dynPS timer when PS is turned on, and properly turn it off when PS is turned off. Third, fix the scan_sdata abuse in the dynps code. Finally, also reorder the code and refactor the code that enables PS or the dynps timer instead of having it copied in two places.

| * p54: deactivate broken powersave function (part 2)Christian Lamparter2009-04-221-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch deactivates powersave in station mode. It does not work correctly yet, so the code does more harm than good. (I split the original patch and sent part of it for 2.6.30, which didn't have the IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER flag. -- JWL) Reported-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * atheros: fix propagation of bad EEPROM on regulatory initLuis R. Rodriguez2009-04-223-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the EEPROM is not in good condition we cannot continue so we currently bail out but only ath5k is bailing out properly. Both ath9k and ar9170 were proceeding and if a user were to run into this they'd see an obscure panic. Lets propagate the error as intended and make sure we inform the user by lifting the error message from debug to a kernel error.

| * ath5k: manipulate rxlink and descriptor address under rxbuf lockBob Copeland2009-04-221-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Grabbing an ath5k_buf then dropping the lock is racy because the referenced descriptor can be obtained in another thread and released before the buffer is handed to the hardware. Likewise, manipulating sc->rxlink without the lock can lead to having multiple self-linked hardware descriptors.
