page_reference manipulation functions are introduced to track down
reference count change of the page.  Use it instead of direct
modification of _count.

cfg80211: make wdev_list accessible to drivers

2016-05-12T09:16:40+00:00

There's no harm in having drivers read the list, since they can
use RCU protection or RTNL locking; allow this to not require
each and every driver to also implement its own bookkeeping.

cfg80211: remove erroneous comment

2016-05-12T09:16:24+00:00

The devlist_mtx mutex was removed about two years ago, in favour of just
using RTNL/RCU protection. Remove the comment still referencing it.

wext: remove a/b/g/n from SIOCGIWNAME

2016-05-02T20:48:09+00:00

Since a/b/g/n no longer exist as spec amendements and VHT (ex 802.11ac)
wasn't handled at all, it's better to just remove the amendment strings
to avoid confusion.

nl80211: use nla_put_u64_64bit() for the remaining u64 attributes

Nicolas converted most users, but didn't realize some were generated
by macros. Convert those over as well.

cfg80211: Add option to report the bss entry in connect result

2016-04-26T07:40:12+00:00

Since cfg80211 maintains separate BSS table entries for APs if the same
BSSID, SSID pair is seen on multiple channels, it is possible that it
can map the current_bss to a BSS entry on the wrong channel. This
current_bss will not get flushed unless disconnected and cfg80211
reports a wrong channel as the associated channel.

Fix this by introducing a new cfg80211_connect_bss() function which is
similar to cfg80211_connect_result(), but it includes an additional
parameter: the bss the STA is connected to. This allows drivers to
provide the exact bss entry that matches the BSS to which the connection
was completed.

cfg80211/nl80211: Add support for NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_DURATION

2016-04-26T07:40:11+00:00

Add support for the a station statistics netlink attribute:
NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_DURATION.

If present, this attribute contains the aggregate PPDU duration (in
microseconds) for all the frames from the peer. This is useful to
help understand the total time spent transmitting to us by all of
the connected peers.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2016-04-23T22:51:33+00:00

Conflicts were two cases of simple overlapping changes,
nothing serious.

In the UDP case, we need to add a hlist_add_tail_rcu()
to linux/rculist.h, because we've moved UDP socket handling
away from using nulls lists.
