Hi all, this patch series adds support for new netlink interfaces. For all new users on this mailinglist. This is the new userspace tool for the wpan rework [0] branch. I removed the mib lock in the rework. Now you can only set the pan_id or short address (don't implement the setting of short address now) when the netdevice is _down_. Then we don't need the the mib lock anymore. It's protected by RTNL if netdevice is down. When it's up it's a read only variable and we can use the variable in hot path like tx/rx without locking. (This is like setting and use of dev_addr of an netdev device). I disabled the af802154 and security layer for now, but I will add this later at the end of the rework. I also detected that our cca_mode handling is a driver specific netlink call. This is... not good. :-) And this is the current mainline behaviour... In the rework I added enums for the 802.15.4 CCA_MODE numbers and now the at86rf231 makes a mapping from 802.15.4 specifc CCA_MODE to driver cca_mode( which is the register value). I need to begin to write more text about the new behaviour, is there anybody outside who already test something? We don't have the multiple phy layer, I dropped them. This was needed for the channel hoping. We need some new idea to provide a channel hoping logic, or simple but the logic for this in userspace. (You can change the channel while netdev is up). There are several other netlink interfaces (setting short_address,setting energy detection value of phy) The energy detection level is not part of the 802.15.4 pib, so this will be a direct call to the driver (not saving any value of this in the pib). - Alex [0] https://github.com/linux-wpan/linux-wpan-next/tree/wpan_rework_rfc changes since v2: - remove stolen LGPL code and reimplement a own header for unsupported netlink attributes of the netlink library. Maybe somebody should add it to netlink...
