Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

This patch moves the iphc setting of next header commpression bit inside
iphc functionality. Setting of IPHC bits should be happen at iphc.c file
only.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring

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.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring

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.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring

This patch adds a generic next header compression layer interface. There
exists various methods to do a header compression after 6LoWPAN header
to save payload. This introduce a generic nhc header which allow a
simple adding of a new header compression format instead of a static
implementation inside the 6LoWPAN header compression and uncompression
function.Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring
