* mac802154: add interframe spacing time handlingAlexander Aring2014-11-131-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154 layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit. This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time. For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call spi_sync. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

This is useful to deliver the received crc from the driver layer to the monitor interface. At the moment we can't do that without change the xmit handling.

* mac802154: rx: use tasklet instead workqueueAlexander Aring2014-10-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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 adds new mac802154 hw flags for transmit power, csma and listen before transmit (lbt). These flags indicates that the transceiver supports these features. If the flags are set and the driver doesn't implement the necessary functions, then ieee802154_register_device returns -ENOSYS "Function not implemented".

* ieee802154: add header structs with endiannes and operationsPhoebe Buckheister2014-03-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ieee802154: add netlink APIs for smartMAC configurationPhoebe Buckheister2014-02-171-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce new netlink attributes for SET_PHY_ATTRS: * CSMA minimal backoff exponent * CSMA maximal backoff exponent * CSMA retry limit * frame retransmission limit The CSMA attributes shall correspond to minBE, maxBE and maxCSMABackoffs of 802.15.4, respectively. The frame retransmission shall correspond to maxFrameRetries of 802.15.4, unless given as -1: then the old behaviour of the stack shall apply. For RF2xy, the old behaviour is to not do channel sensing at all and simply send *right now*, which is not intended behaviour for most applications and actually prohibited for some channel/page combinations. For all values except frame retransmission limit, the defaults of 802.15.4 apply. Frame retransmission limits are set to -1 to indicate backward-compatible behaviour.

* ieee802154: add support for setting CCA energy detection levelsPhoebe Buckheister2014-02-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since three of the four clear channel assesment modes make use of energy detection, provide an API to set the energy detection threshold. Driver support for this is available in at86rf230 for the RF212 chips. Since for these chips the minimal energy detection threshold depends on page and channel used, add a field to struct at86rf230_local that stores the minimal threshold. Actual ED thresholds are configured as offsets from this value. For RF212, setting the ED threshold will not work before a channel/page has been set due to the dependency of energy detection in the chip and the actual channel/page selected.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the current u8 transmit_power in wpan_phy with s8 transmit_power. The u8 field contained the actual tx power and a tolerance field, which no physical radio every used. Adjust sysfs entries to keep compatibility with userspace, give tolerances of +-1dB statically there. This patch only adds support for this in the at86rf230 driver and the RF212 chip. Configuration calculation for RF212 is also somewhat basic, but does the job - the RF212 datasheet gives a large table with suggested values for combinations of TX power and page/channel, if this does not work well, we might have to copy the whole table.

The IEEE 802.15.4 Working Group focuses on the standardization of the bottom two layers of ISO/OSI protocol stack: Physical (PHY) and MAC. The MAC layer provides access control to a shared channel and reliable data delivery. The main functions performed by the MAC sublayer are: association and disassociation, security control, optional star network topology functions, such as beacon generation and Guaranteed Time Slots (GTSs) management, generation of ACK frames (if used), and, finally, application support for the two possible network topologies described in the standard. This is an initial commit which describes main data structures needed for ieee802.15.4 compatible devices representation in the MAC layer.
