  • So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
    convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
    everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
    taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
    most drivers don't support that though.

  • Nothing very interesting, some checkpatch inspired stuff,
    some other things.

  • Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control
    API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of
    net/mac80211/.

    There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking,
    we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to
    do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control
    algorithm or via new API.

    Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we
    will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right
    now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before.

  • The sta_info->txrate_idx member isn't used by all RC algorithms
    in the way it was intended to be used, move it into those that
    require it (only PID) and keep track in the core code of which
    rate was last used for reporting to userspace and the mesh MLME.

  • This removes the fast_start parameter from the rc_pid parameters
    information and instead uses the parameter macro when initializing
    the rc_pid state. Since the parameter is only used on initialization,
    there is no point of making exporting it via debugfs. This also fixes
    uninitialized memory references to the fast_start and norm_offset
    parameters detected by the kmemcheck utility. Thanks to Vegard Nossum
    for reporting the bug.

  • This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
    information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
    memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
    a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
    is kept outside of the union.

    A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
    of this patch.
