* wimax: allow specifying debug levels as command line optionInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-10-191-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "debug" module options to all the wimax modules (including drivers) so that the debug levels can be set upon kernel boot or module load time. This is needed as currently there was a limitation where the debug levels could only be set when a device was succesfully enumerated. This made it difficult to debug issues that made a device not probe properly. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>
* wimax: Add netlink interface to get device statePaulius Zaleckas2009-05-291-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wimax connection manager / daemon has to know what is current state of the device. Previously it was only possible to get notification whet state has changed. Note: By mistake, the new generic netlink's number for WIMAX_GNL_OP_STATE_GET was declared inserting into the existing list of API calls, not appending; thus, it'd break existing API. Fixed by Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> by moving to the tail, where we add to the interface, not modify the interface. Thanks to Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> for catching this. Signed-off-by: Paulius Zaleckas <paulius.zaleckas@teltonika.lt>
* wimax: oops: wimax_dev_add() is the only one that can initialize the stateInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-05-061-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a new wimax_dev is created, it's state has to be __WIMAX_ST_NULL until wimax_dev_add() is succesfully called. This allows calls into the stack that happen before said time to be rejected. Until now, the state was being set (by mistake) to UNINITIALIZED, which was allowing calls such as wimax_report_rfkill_hw() to go through even when a call to wimax_dev_add() had failed; that was causing an oops when touching uninitialized data. This situation is normal when the device starts reporting state before the whole initialization has been completed. It just has to be dealt with.

* netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()Pablo Neira Ayuso2009-02-061-8/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no messages at all were delivered: 1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0. 2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone() failure, return -ENOBUFS. 3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH. With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

* wimax: fix build issue when debugfs is disabledInaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-01-301-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported by Toralf Förster and Randy Dunlap. - http://linuxwimax.org/pipermail/wimax/2009-January/000460.html - http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/279 The definitions needed for the wimax stack and i2400m driver debug infrastructure was, by mistake, compiled depending on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS (by them being placed in the debugfs.c files); thus the build broke in 2.6.29-rc3 when debugging was enabled (CONFIG_WIMAX_DEBUG) and DEBUG_FS was disabled. These definitions are always needed if debug is enabled at compile time (independently of DEBUG_FS being or not enabled), so moving them to a file that is always compiled fixes the issue.

* wimax: generic device management (registration, deregistration, lookup)Inaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-01-071-0/+599
Implements the basic life cycles of a 'struct wimax_dev', some common generic netlink functionality for marshalling calls to user space, and the device state machine. For looking up net devices based on their generic netlink family IDs, use a low overhead method that optimizes for the case where most systems have a single WiMAX device, or at most, a very low number of WiMAX adaptors.
