When a device ndo_start_xmit() calls again dev_queue_xmit(), lockdep can complain because dev_queue_xmit() is re-entered and the spinlocks protecting tx queues share a common lockdep class. Same issue was fixed for ieee802154 in commit "20e7c4e8" Signed-off-by: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

The rwlocks are converted to use RCU. This helps performance as the irq locks are not needed any more. Signed-off-by: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

This reverts commits c6992e9e and 4cd3362d. The reason for the revert is that we cannot have more than one module initialization function and the SMP one breaks the build with modular kernels. As the proper fix for this is right now looking non-trivial it's better to simply revert the problematic patches in order to keep the upstream tree compilable.

This patch changes the naming convention of mac802154 rx file. It should be more named like mac80211 stack. Furthermore we introduce a new frame parsing implementation which is much similar the mac80211 implementation.

Current behaviour it to copy the frame inclusive CRC into a skb, then remove the CRC from the skb. This patch optimizes this by not copying the CRC at the first place. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

This patch adds the ieee802154_is_valid_psdu_len function to validate the psdu length. If the psdu length is invalid we use the maximum payload to receive also corrupted frames in monitor mode.

This patch adds a generic valid psdu length check function helper. This is useful to check the length field after receiving. For example the at86rf231 doesn't filter invalid psdu length. Sometimes the CRC can also be correct. If we get the lqi value with an invalid frame length the kernel may crash because we dereference an invalid pointer in the receive buffer.

This patch removes the mac802154_subif_rx function and do the necessary calls inside of ieee802154_rx function. The ieee802154_rx is small enough to move the functionality inside this function.

This removes the call of monitor receive funktion when any interface type call xmit. There exist no such use case that a monitor interface should receive the actual sending frame. One use case could be that a wpan interface and monitor interface could be running at the same time on one phy. Then the monitor interface receives the wpan frames also. Furthermore we adding support for promiscous mode setting. With promiscous mode setting we can't run a wpan and monitor interface at the same time.

This patch is similar like d20ef63d ("mac80211: document ieee80211_rx() context requirement"). The netif_receive_skb call requires with softirqs disabled.

Tasklets have much less overhead than workqueues. This patch also removes the heap allocation for the worker on receiving path. Like mac80211 we should prefer use a tasklet here instead a workqueue to getting fast out of interrupt context when ieee802154_rx_irqsafe is called by driver. Like wireless inside the tasklet context we should call netif_receive_skb instead netif_rx_ni anymore.

This patch change the allocation of skb inside the ieee802154 driver layer to dev_alloc_skb.

This patch moves the worker information struct out of skb control block. Instead control block we declare it static inside of tx.c file. We can do that, because the worker can't be used twice at the same time. It's protected by stop and wake netdev queue. This patch fix an issue that the "struct ieee802154_xmit_cb" doesn't fit into the skb control block on some kernel configuartion reported by kbuild test robot. It was introduced by commit fe24371d ("mac802154: tx: remove kmalloc in xmit hotpath"). Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

This patch removes the channel hopping feature before xmit. There are several issues to provide a real channel hopping (timing requirements, etc...). We don't have any known kernelspace protocol which really use this feature. And I don't know an real user of this feature. We simply drop this feature now. This patch removes also the hold of pib lock which isn't needed by any real driver xmit callback implementation.
