048e7f7e66 ieee802154: cleanup WARN_ON for fc fetch
This patch cleanups the WARN_ON which occurs when the sk buffer has
insufficient buffer space by moving the WARN_ON into if condition.

aaa7088eb2 ieee802154: fix skb get fc on big endian
This patch fixes ieee802154_get_fc_from_skb function on big endian
machines. The function get_unaligned_le16 converts the byte order to
host byte order but we want to keep the byte order like in mac header.

0ea0b9af9b ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix intra pan id check
The RIOT-OS stack does send intra-pan frames but don't set the intra pan
flag inside the mac header. It seems this is valid frame addressing but
inefficient. Anyway this patch adds a new function for intra pan
addressing, doesn't matter if intra pan flag or source and destination
are the same. The newly introduction function will be used to check on
intra pan addressing for 6lowpan.

07b0188adf mac802154: fix mac header length check
I got report about that sometimes the WARN_ON occurs there which should
never happen. I came to the conclusion that the mac header is there but
inside the headroom of skb. The skb->len information doesn't contain the
information about the headroom length and skb->len is lesser than two.

We check now if the skb_mac_header pointer is set and the room between
mac header pointer and tail pointer.

8911d7748c 6lowpan: cleanup lowpan_header_decompress
This patch changes the lowpan_header_decompress function by removing
inklayer related information from parameters. This is currently for
supporting short and extended address for iphc handling in 802154.
We don't support short address handling anyway right now, but there
exists already code for handling short addresses in
lowpan_header_decompress.

The address parameters are also changed to a void pointer, so 6LoWPAN
linklayer specific code can put complex structures as these parameters
and cast it again inside the generic code by evaluating linklayer type
before. The order is also changed by destination address at first and
then source address, which is the same like all others functions where
destination is always the first, memcpy, dev_hard_header,
lowpan_header_compress, etc.

This patch also moves the fetching of iphc values from 6LoWPAN linklayer
specific code into the generic branch.

5f2ebb3b59 mac802154: check on len instead mac_len
This patch change the length check to len instead of mac_len for
checking if the frame control field is available to dereference.
We need to change it because I saw issues with af_packet raw sockets
and the mrf24j40 which calls this functionality. The raw socket
functionality doesn't set the mac_len but resets the skb_mac_header to
skb->data which is still correct. The issue occur at mrf24j40 only,
because the driver need to evaluate the fc fields.

87a93e4ece ieee802154: change needed headroom/tailroom
This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len
fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces.

For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of
needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but
hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit
call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4.
The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET
raw sockets.

For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will
call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This
happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and
tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we
assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.

edea8f7c75 cfg802154: introduce wpan phy flags
This patch introduce a flag property for the wpan phy structure.
The current flag settings in ieee802154_hw are accessable in mac802154
layer only which is okay for flags which indicates MAC handling which
are done by phy. For real PHY layer settings like cca mode, transmit
power, cca energy detection level.

The difference between these flags are that the MAC handling flags are
only handled in mac802154/HardMac layer e.g. on an interface up. The phy
settings are direct netlink calls from nl802154 into the driver layer
and the nl802154 need to have a chance to check if the driver supports
this handling before sending to the next layer.

We also check now on PHY flags while dumping and setting pib attributes.
In comparing with MIB attributes the 802.15.4 gives us an default value
which we assume when a transceiver implement less functionality. In case
of MIB settings the nl802154 layer doesn't need to check on the
ieee802154_hw flags then.

61f2dcba9a mac802154: add interframe spacing time handling
This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154
layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit.
This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on
xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if
ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if
interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the
timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids
new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time.

For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This
is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose
it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call

c5c47e67bc mac802154: rx: use tasklet instead workqueue
Tasklets have much less overhead than workqueues. This patch also
removes the heap allocation for the worker on receiving path.
Like mac80211 we should prefer use a tasklet here instead a workqueue to
getting fast out of interrupt context when ieee802154_rx_irqsafe is
called by driver. Like wireless inside the tasklet context we should
call netif_receive_skb instead netif_rx_ni anymore.

ed0a5dce0c mac802154: tx: add support for xmit_async callback
This patch renames the existsing xmit callback to xmit_sync and
introduces an asynchronous xmit_async function. If ieee802154_ops
doesn't provide the xmit_async callback, then we have a fallback to
the xmit_sync callback.

functions for drivers, etc. This file contains functions to start and
stop queues for all virtual interfaces, this is useful for asynchronous
handling by driver level.
