ieee802154: add definitions for link-layer security and header functions

2014-05-15T19:51:42+00:00

When dealing with 802.15.4, one often has to know the maximum payload
size for a given packet. This depends on many factors, one of which is
whether or not a security header is present in the frame. These
definitions and functions provide an easy way for any upper layer to
calculate the maximum payload size for a packet. The first obvious user
for this is 6lowpan, which duplicates this calculation and gets it
partially wrong because it ignores security headers.

ieee802154: add header structs with endiannes and operations

2014-03-15T02:15:26+00:00

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: move headers out of extra directory

2009-07-23T13:08:51+00:00

include/net/ieee802154/af_ieee802154.h (and others) naming seems to be too long
and redundant. Drop one level of subdirectories.
