2009-06-03rfkill: rewriteJohannes Berg
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address the following deficiencies: * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary rather than having one central implementation * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring lots of code * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked internally -- the core should do this * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally should be avoided * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines that do nothing if it isn't compiled in * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc() * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic operations in locked sections * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state changes -- this wasn't done before Tested-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> [thinkpad] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-01-11wimax: fix typo in kernel-doc for debugfs_dentry in struct wimax_devInaky Perez-Gonzalez
The kernel-doc was referring to member @debufs_dentry instead of @debugfs_dentry. Reported by Randy Dunlap http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=123147942302885&w=2 As well, escape the colon in the field's text description, as it is causing the generated text to be erraticly broken up (with paragraphs moved down). Could not find a reason why it is happening so, even when other field descriptions use colons and work as expected. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-01-07wimax: headers for kernel API and user space interactionInaky Perez-Gonzalez
Definitions for the user/kernel API protocol through generic netlink. User space can copy it verbatim and use it. Kernel API definition declares the main data types and calls for the drivers to integrate into the WiMAX stack. Provides usage documentation.
