[netdevice] Allow the hardware and link-layer addresses to differ in size

2009-08-11T23:23:38+00:00

IPoIB has a 20-byte link-layer address, of which only eight bytes represent anything relating to a "hardware address". The PXE and EFI SNP APIs expect the permanent address to be the same size as the link-layer address, so fill in the "permanent address" field with the initial link layer address (as generated by register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).

[netdevice] Separate out the concept of hardware and link-layer addresses

2009-08-11T23:19:14+00:00

The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE. Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling register_netdev().

[802.11] Enhance support for driver PHY differences

2009-08-08T23:11:26+00:00

The prior net80211 model of physical-layer behavior for drivers was overly simplistic and limited the drivers that could be written. To be more flexible, split the driver-provided list of supported rates by band, and add a means for specifying a list of supported channels. Allow drivers to specify a hardware channel value that will be tied to uses of the channel. Expose net80211_duration() to drivers, and make the rate it uses in its computations configurable, so that it can be used in calculating durations that must be set in hardware for ACK and CTS packets. Add net80211_cts_duration() for the common case of calculating the duration for a CTS packet. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[infiniband] Add infrastructure for RC queue pairs

2009-07-17T22:06:35+00:00

Queue pairs are now assumed to be created in the INIT state, with a call to ib_modify_qp() required to bring the queue pair to the RTS state. ib_modify_qp() no longer takes a modification list; callers should modify the relevant queue pair parameters (e.g. qkey) directly and then call ib_modify_qp() to synchronise the changes to the hardware. The packet sequence number is now a property of the queue pair, rather than of the device. Each queue pair may have an associated address vector. For RC queue pairs, this is the address vector that will be programmed in to the hardware as the remote address. For UD queue pairs, it will be used as the default address vector if none is supplied to ib_post_send().
