wimax: basic API: kernel/user messaging, rfkill and reset Implements the three basic operations provided by the stack's control interface to WiMAX devices: - Messaging channel between user space and driver/device This implements a direct communication channel between user space and the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back and forth. This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc. - RF-kill framework integration Provide most of the RF-Kill integration for WiMAX drivers so that all device drivers have to do is after wimax_dev_add() is call wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to update initial state and then every time it changes. Provides wimax_rfkill() for the kernel to call to set software RF-Kill status and/or query current hardware and software switch status. Exports wimax_rfkill() over generic netlink to user space. - Reset a WiMAX device Provides wimax_reset() for the kernel to reset a wimax device as needed and exports it over generic netlink to user space. This API is clearly limited, as it still provides no way to do the basic scan, connect and disconnect in a hardware independent way. The WiMAX case is more complex than WiFi due to the way networks are discovered and provisioned. The next developments are to add the basic operations so they can be offerent by different drivers. However, we'd like to get more vendors to jump in and provide feedback of how the user/kernel API/abstraction layer should be. The user space code for the i2400m, as of now, uses the messaging channel, but that will change as the API evolves.

*
* See include/net/wimax.h
*
* GENERIC NETLINK ENCODING AND CAPACITY
*
* A destination "pipe name" is added to each message; it is up to the
* drivers to assign or use those names (if using them at all).
*
* Messages are encoded as a binary netlink attribute using nla_put()
* using type NLA_UNSPEC (as some versions of libnl still in
* deployment don't yet understand NLA_BINARY).
*
* The maximum capacity of this transport is PAGESIZE per message (so
* the actual payload will be bit smaller depending on the
* netlink/generic netlink attributes and headers).
*
* RECEPTION OF MESSAGES
*
* When a message is received from user space, it is passed verbatim
* to the driver calling wimax_dev->op_msg_from_user(). The return
* value from this function is passed back to user space as an ack
* over the generic netlink protocol.
*
* The stack doesn't do any processing or interpretation of these
* messages.
*
* SENDING MESSAGES
*
* Messages can be sent with wimax_msg().
*
* If the message delivery needs to happen on a different context to
* that of its creation, wimax_msg_alloc() can be used to get a
* pointer to the message that can be delivered later on with
* wimax_msg_send().
*
* ROADMAP
*
* wimax_gnl_doit_msg_from_user() Process a message from user space

* wimax_dev->op_msg_from_user() Delivery of message to the driver

#include <linux/device.h>
include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast() Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no messages at all were delivered: 1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0. 2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone() failure, return -ENOBUFS. 3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH. With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

* @gfp_flags: flags for memory allocation.
*
* Returns: %0 if ok, negative errno code on error.
*
* Description:
*
* Sends a free-form message to user space on the device @wimax_dev.
*
* NOTES:
*
* Once the @skb is given to this function, who will own it and will
* release it when done (unless it returns error).

wimax: basic API: kernel/user messaging, rfkill and reset Implements the three basic operations provided by the stack's control interface to WiMAX devices: - Messaging channel between user space and driver/device This implements a direct communication channel between user space and the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back and forth. This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc. - RF-kill framework integration Provide most of the RF-Kill integration for WiMAX drivers so that all device drivers have to do is after wimax_dev_add() is call wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to update initial state and then every time it changes. Provides wimax_rfkill() for the kernel to call to set software RF-Kill status and/or query current hardware and software switch status. Exports wimax_rfkill() over generic netlink to user space. - Reset a WiMAX device Provides wimax_reset() for the kernel to reset a wimax device as needed and exports it over generic netlink to user space. This API is clearly limited, as it still provides no way to do the basic scan, connect and disconnect in a hardware independent way. The WiMAX case is more complex than WiFi due to the way networks are discovered and provisioned. The next developments are to add the basic operations so they can be offerent by different drivers. However, we'd like to get more vendors to jump in and provide feedback of how the user/kernel API/abstraction layer should be. The user space code for the i2400m, as of now, uses the messaging channel, but that will change as the API evolves.
