Johan Hedberg says: ==================== pull request: bluetooth-next 2015-08-16 Here's what's likely the last bluetooth-next pull request for 4.3: - 6lowpan/802.15.4 refactoring, cleanups & fixes - Document 6lowpan netdev usage in Documentation/networking/6lowpan.txt - Support for UART based QCA Bluetooth controllers - Power management support for Broeadcom Bluetooth controllers - Change LE connection initiation to always use passive scanning first - Support for new Silicon Wave USB ID Please let me know if there are any issues pulling. Thanks. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Netdev private dataroom for 6lowpan interfaces:
|
||||
|
||||
All 6lowpan able net devices, means all interfaces with ARPHRD_6LOWPAN,
|
||||
must have "struct lowpan_priv" placed at beginning of netdev_priv.
|
||||
|
||||
The priv_size of each interface should be calculate by:
|
||||
|
||||
dev->priv_size = LOWPAN_PRIV_SIZE(LL_6LOWPAN_PRIV_DATA);
|
||||
|
||||
Where LL_PRIV_6LOWPAN_DATA is sizeof linklayer 6lowpan private data struct.
|
||||
To access the LL_PRIV_6LOWPAN_DATA structure you can cast:
|
||||
|
||||
lowpan_priv(dev)-priv;
|
||||
|
||||
to your LL_6LOWPAN_PRIV_DATA structure.
|
||||
|
||||
Before registering the lowpan netdev interface you must run:
|
||||
|
||||
lowpan_netdev_setup(dev, LOWPAN_LLTYPE_FOOBAR);
|
||||
|
||||
wheres LOWPAN_LLTYPE_FOOBAR is a define for your 6LoWPAN linklayer type of
|
||||
enum lowpan_lltypes.
|
||||
|
||||
Example to evaluate the private usually you can do:
|
||||
|
||||
static inline sturct lowpan_priv_foobar *
|
||||
lowpan_foobar_priv(struct net_device *dev)
|
||||
{
|
||||
return (sturct lowpan_priv_foobar *)lowpan_priv(dev)->priv;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
switch (dev->type) {
|
||||
case ARPHRD_6LOWPAN:
|
||||
lowpan_priv = lowpan_priv(dev);
|
||||
/* do great stuff which is ARPHRD_6LOWPAN related */
|
||||
switch (lowpan_priv->lltype) {
|
||||
case LOWPAN_LLTYPE_FOOBAR:
|
||||
/* do 802.15.4 6LoWPAN handling here */
|
||||
lowpan_foobar_priv(dev)->bar = foo;
|
||||
break;
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
break;
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
In case of generic 6lowpan branch ("net/6lowpan") you can remove the check
|
||||
on ARPHRD_6LOWPAN, because you can be sure that these function are called
|
||||
by ARPHRD_6LOWPAN interfaces.
