2016-06-166lowpan: add support for 802.15.4 short addr handlingAlexander Aring
This patch adds necessary handling for use the short address for 802.15.4 6lowpan. It contains support for IPHC address compression and new matching algorithmn to decide which link layer address will be used for 802.15.4 frame.

2016-04-136lowpan: change naming for lowpan private dataAlexander Aring
This patch changes the naming for interface private data for lowpan intefaces. The current private data scheme is: ------------------------------------------------- | 6LoWPAN Generic | LinkLayer 6LoWPAN | ------------------------------------------------- the current naming schemes are: - 6LoWPAN Generic: - lowpan_priv - LinkLayer 6LoWPAN: - BTLE - lowpan_dev - 802.15.4: - lowpan_dev_info the new naming scheme with this patch will be: - 6LoWPAN Generic: - lowpan_dev - LinkLayer 6LoWPAN: - BTLE - lowpan_btle_dev - 802.15.4: - lowpan_802154_dev Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <aar@pengutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Stefan Schmidt<stefan@osg.samsung.com> Acked-by: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2015-10-206lowpan: move IPHC functionality definesAlexander Aring
This patch removes the IPHC related defines for doing bit manipulation from global 6lowpan header to the iphc file which should the only one implementation which use these defines.

2015-10-206lowpan: cleanup lowpan_header_compressAlexander Aring
This patch changes the lowpan_header_compress function by removing unused parameters like "len" and drop static value parameters of protocol type. Instead we really check the protocol type inside inside the skb structure. Also we drop the use of IEEE802154_ADDR_LEN which is link-layer specific. Instead we using EUI64_ADDR_LEN which should always the default case for now.

2015-10-01ieee802154: handle datagram variables as u16Alexander Aring
This reverts commit 9abc378c66e3d6f437eed77c1c534cbc183523f7 ("ieee802154: 6lowpan: change datagram var types"). The reason is that I forgot the IPv6 fragmentation here. Our MTU of lowpan interface is 1280 and skb->len should not above of that. If we reach a payload above 1280 in IPv6 header then we have a IPv6 fragmentation above 802.15.4 6LoWPAN fragmentation. The type "u16" was fine, instead I added now a WARN_ON_ONCE if skb->len is above MTU which should never happen otherwise IPv6 on minimum MTU size is broken.

2015-09-30ieee802154: 6lowpan: add tx/rx statsAlexander Aring
This patch adds support for increment transmit and receive stats. The meaning of these stats are IPv6 based, which shows the stats after running the 6lowpan adaptation layer (uncompression/compression, fragmentation handling) on receive and before the adaptation layer when transmit.

2015-09-30ieee802154: 6lowpan: don't skip first dsn while fragmentationAlexander Aring
This patch fixes the data frame sequence numer (dsn) while 6lowpan fragmentation for frag1. Currently we create one 802.15.4 header at first, then check if it's match into one frame and at the end construct many fragments and calling wpan_dev_hard_header for each of them, inclusive for the first fragment. This will make the first generated header to garbage, instead we copying this header for frag1 instead of generate a new one which skips one dsn.

2015-09-30ieee802154: 6lowpan: change datagram var typesAlexander Aring
This patch changes datagram size variable from u16 type to unsigned int. The reason is that an IPv6 header has an MAX_UIN16 payload length, but the datagram size is payload + IPv6 header length. This avoids overflows at some places. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2015-09-22ieee802154: change needed headroom/tailroomAlexander Aring
This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces. For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4. The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET raw sockets. For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.

2015-09-22ieee802154: introduce wpan_dev_header_opsAlexander Aring
The current header_ops callback structure of net device are used mostly from 802.15.4 upper-layers. Because this callback structure is a very generic one, which is also used by e.g. DGRAM AF_PACKET sockets, we can't make this callback structure 802.15.4 specific which is currently is. I saw the smallest "constraint" for calling this callback with dev_hard_header/dev_parse_header by AF_PACKET which assign a 8 byte array for address void pointers. Currently 802.15.4 specific protocols like af802154 and 6LoWPAN will assign the "struct ieee802154_addr" as these parameters which is greater than 8 bytes. The current callback implementation for header_ops.create assumes always a complete "struct ieee802154_addr" which AF_PACKET can't never handled and is greater than 8 bytes. For that reason we introduce now a "generic" create/parse header_ops callback which allows handling with intra-pan extended addresses only. This allows a small use-case with AF_PACKET to send "somehow" a valid dataframe over DGRAM. To keeping the current dev_hard_header behaviour we introduce a similar callback structure "wpan_dev_header_ops" which contains 802.15.4 specific upper-layer header creation functionality, which can be called by wpan_dev_hard_header.

2015-09-17ieee802154: 6lowpan: change dev vars to wdev and ldevAlexander Aring
Inside the IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN subsystem we use two interfaces which are wpan and lowpan interfaces. Instead of using always the variable name "dev" for both we rename the "dev" variable to wdev which means the wpan net_device and ldev which means a lowpan net_device. This avoids confusing and always looking back to see which net_device is meant by the variable name "dev".

2015-08-10ieee802154: add ack request default handlingAlexander Aring
This patch introduce a new mib entry which isn't part of 802.15.4 but useful as default behaviour to set the ack request bit or not if we don't know if the ack request bit should set.

2015-06-02ieee802154: 6lowpan: set ackreq when neededAlexander Aring
This patch sets the acknowledge request bit inside the 802.15.4 mac header when frame retries is 0 or above. The other frame retries value which is -1 indicates that the transmitter doesn't care about an acknowledge frame which will be ignored after transmitting if the node sends anyway an ack frame after receiving. This is currently unnecessary traffic if the max frame retries parameter is -1.

2015-05-23mac802154: remove mib lockAlexander Aring
This patch removes the mib lock. The new locking mechanism is to protect the mib values with the rtnl lock. Note that this isn't always necessary if we have an interface up the most mib values are readonly (e.g. address settings). With this behaviour we can remove locking in hotpath like frame parsing completely. It depends on context if we need to hold the rtnl lock or not, this makes the callbacks of ieee802154_mlme_ops unnecessary because these callbacks hols always the locks.
