6lowpan: put mcast compression in an own function

2015-10-20T22:49:25+00:00

This patch moves the mcast compression algorithmn to an own function
like all other compression/decompression methods in iphc.

6lowpan: rework tc and flow label handling

2015-10-20T22:49:25+00:00

This patch reworks the handling of compression/decompression of traffic
class and flow label handling. The current method is hard to understand,
also doesn't checks if we can read the buffer from skb length.

I tried to put the shifting operations into static inline functions and
comment each steps which I did there to make it hopefully somewhat more
readable. The big mess to deal with that is the that the ipv6 header
bring the order "DSCP + ECN" but iphc uses "ECN + DSCP". Additional the
DCSP + ECN bits are splitted in ipv6_hdr inside the priority and
flow_lbl[0] fields.

I tested these compressions by using fakelb 802.15.4 driver and
manipulate the tc and flow label fields manually in function
"__ip6_local_out" before the skb will be send to lower layers. Then I
looked up the tc and flow label fields in wireshark on a wpan and lowpan
interface.

6lowpan: iphc: change define values

2015-10-20T22:49:25+00:00

This patch has the main goal to delete shift operations. Instead we
doing masks and equals afterwards. E.g. for the SAM evaluation we
masking only the SAM value which fits in iphc1 byte, then comparing with
all possible SAM values over a switch case statement. We will not
shifting the SAM value to somewhat readable anymore.
Additional this patch slighty change the naming style like RFC 6282,
e.g. TTL to HLIM and we will drop an errno now if CID flag is set,
because we don't support it.

6lowpan: move IPHC functionality defines

2015-10-20T22:49:25+00:00

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.

Also move next header compression defines to their nhc implementation.

6lowpan: nhc: move iphc manipulation out of nhc

2015-10-20T22:49:25+00:00

This patch moves the iphc setting of next header commpression bit inside
iphc functionality. Setting of IPHC bits should be happen at iphc.c file
only.

6lowpan: remove lowpan_fetch_skb_u8

2015-10-20T22:49:25+00:00

This patch removes the lowpan_fetch_skb_u8 function for getting the iphc
bytes. Instead we using the generic which has a len parameter to tell
the amount of bytes to fetch.

6lowpan: cleanup lowpan_header_decompress

2015-10-20T22:49:24+00:00

This patch changes the lowpan_header_decompress function by removing
inklayer related information from parameters. This is currently for
supporting short and extended address for iphc handling in 802154.
We don't support short address handling anyway right now, but there
exists already code for handling short addresses in
lowpan_header_decompress.

The address parameters are also changed to a void pointer, so 6LoWPAN
linklayer specific code can put complex structures as these parameters
and cast it again inside the generic code by evaluating linklayer type
before. The order is also changed by destination address at first and
then source address, which is the same like all others functions where
destination is always the first, memcpy, dev_hard_header,
lowpan_header_compress, etc.

This patch also moves the fetching of iphc values from 6LoWPAN linklayer
specific code into the generic branch.

6lowpan: cleanup lowpan_header_compress

2015-10-20T22:49:24+00:00

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.

6lowpan: introduce LOWPAN_IPHC_MAX_HC_BUF_LEN

2015-10-20T22:49:24+00:00

This patch introduces the LOWPAN_IPHC_MAX_HC_BUF_LEN define which
represent the worst-case supported IPHC buffer length. It's used to
allocate the stack buffer space for creating the IPHC header.

6lowpan: move shared settings to lowpan_netdev_setup

2015-10-08T12:25:34+00:00

This patch moves values for all lowpan interface to the shared
implementation of 6lowpan. This patch also quietly fixes the forgotten
IFF_NO_QUEUE flag for the bluetooth 6LoWPAN interface. An identically
commit is 4afbc0d ("net: 6lowpan: convert to using IFF_NO_QUEUE") which
wasn't changed for bluetooth 6lowpan.

All 6lowpan interfaces should be virtual with IFF_NO_QUEUE, using EUI64
address length, the mtu size is 1280 (IPV6_MIN_MTU) and the netdev type
is ARPHRD_6LOWPAN.
