[PATCH 1/9] mac80211: generate EMA beacons in AP mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add APIs to generate an array of beacons for an EMA AP (enhanced
multiple BSSID advertisements), each including a single MBSSID element.
EMA profile periodicity equals the count of elements.
- ieee80211_beacon_get_template_ema_list() - Generate and return all
EMA beacon templates. Drivers must call ieee80211_beacon_free_ema_list()
to free the memory. No change in the prototype for the existing API,
ieee80211_beacon_get_template(), which should be used for non-EMA AP.
- ieee80211_beacon_get_template_ema_index() - Generate a beacon which
includes the multiple BSSID element at the given index. Drivers can use
this function in a loop until NULL is returned which indicates end of
available MBSSID elements.
- ieee80211_beacon_free_ema_list() - free the memory allocated for the
list of EMA beacon templates.

Add new macro IEEE80211_MBSSID_ELEMS_ALL to be used for basic MBSSID
implementation without EMA.
Modify exsiting functions ieee80211_beacon_get_ap(),
ieee80211_get_mbssid_beacon_len() and ieee80211_beacon_add_mbssid()
to accept a new parameter for EMA index.

- This patch is the next version for the following series:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/?series=558285&state=%2A&archive=both
The changes are now rebased on top of wireless-testing tree which
includes this series:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/?series=617531&state=%2A&archive=both
- Replaced GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC for the memory allocation
under RCU lock.
- CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU
flags were enabled during compilation.
