Subject: [wpan-next v2 00/27] IEEE 802.15.4 scan support

Hello,

Here is a series attempting to bring support for scans in the
IEEE 802.15.4 stack. A second series follows in order to align the
tooling with these changes, bringing support for a number of new
features such as:

* Sending (or stopping) beacons. Intervals ranging from 0 to 14 are
valid for passively sending beacons at regular intervals. An interval
of 15 would request the core to answer to received BEACON_REQ.
# iwpan dev wpan0 beacons send interval 2 # send BEACON at a fixed rate
# iwpan dev wpan0 beacons send interval 15 # answer BEACON_REQ only
# iwpan dev wpan0 beacons stop # apply to both cases

* Scanning all the channels or only a subset:
# iwpan dev wpan1 scan type passive duration 3 # will not trigger BEACON_REQ
# iwpan dev wpan1 scan type active duration 3 # will trigger BEACON_REQ

* If a beacon is received during a scan, the internal PAN list is
updated and can be dumped, flushed and configured with:
# iwpan dev wpan1 pans dump
PAN 0xffff (on wpan1)
coordinator 0x2efefdd4cdbf9330
page 0
channel 13
superframe spec. 0xcf22
LQI 0
seen 7156ms ago
# iwpan dev wpan1 pans flush
# iwpan dev wpan1 set max_pan_entries 100
# iwpan dev wpan1 set pans_expiration 3600

* It is also possible to monitor the events with:
# iwpan event

* As well as triggering a non blocking scan:
# iwpan dev wpan1 scan trigger type passive duration 3
# iwpan dev wpan1 scan done
# iwpan dev wpan1 scan abort

The PAN list gets automatically updated by dropping the expired PANs
each time the user requests access to the list.

Internally, both requests (scan/beacons) are handled periodically by
delayed workqueues when relevant.

So far the only technical point that is missing in this series is the
possibility to grab a reference over the module driving the net device
in order to prevent module unloading during a scan or when the beacons
work is ongoing.

Finally, this series is a deep reshuffle of David Girault's original
work, hence the fact that he is almost systematically credited, either
by being the only author when I created the patches based on his changes
with almost no modification, or with a Co-developped-by tag whenever the
final code base is significantly different than his first proposal while
still being greatly inspired from it.

Cheers,
Miquèl

Changes in v2:
* Create two new netlink commands to set the maximum number of PANs that
can be listed as well as their expiration time (in seconds).
* Added a patch to the series to avoid ignoring bad frames in hwsim as
requested by Alexander.
* Changed the symbol duration type to receive nanoseconds instead of
microseconds.
* Dropped most of the hwsim patches and reworked how drivers advertise
their channels in order to be capable of deriving the symbol durations
automatically.
* The scanning boolean gets turned into an atomic.
* The ca8210 driver does not support scanning, implement the driver
hooks to reflect the situation.
* Reworked a bit the content of each patch to ease the introduction of
active scans.
* Added active scan support.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 01/27] net: mac802154: Split the set channel hook implementation

As it is currently designed, the set_channel() cfg802154 hook
implemented in the softMAC is doing a couple of checks before actually
performing the channel change. However, as we enhance the support for
automatically setting the symbol duration during channel changes, it
will also be needed to ensure that the corresponding channel as properly
be selected at probe time. In order to verify this, we will need to
separate the channel change from the previous checks. These checks are
actually here to speed up the process when the user request necessitates
no change, so we can safely bypass them.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 04/27] net: ieee802154: Give more details to the core about the channel configurations

In order to let the core derive eg. the symbol duration for a given
channel, it needs to know which protocol is being used, on which band,
and eventually more details such as the mean PRF in the case of UWB.

Create the necessary enumerations to declare all of that. Include them
in the currently-almost-empty phy_channels structure which until now
only declared the supported channels as bitfields.

The PRF is declared in a union as this clearly is a parameter that does
not apply to most of the protocols. It is very likely that other
parameters will get added in the future to further define specific
protocols and the union will likely be a good location for them.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 02/27] net: mac802154: Ensure proper channel selection at probe time

Right now device drivers are encouraged to just set the ->current_page
and ->current_channel to indicate about the current state of the
hardware but this is far from ideal given the fact that we might want to
configure a few things internally, such as the symbol duration.

Call the ieee802154_change_channel() helper from the code section
registering the hardware to ensure proper channel selection and
configuration both on the device side and the core side.

This change somehow "fixes" the hwsim driver which advertises using page
0 channel 13, but does not actually update its own internal pib
structure to reflect that configuration.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 06/27] net: mac802154: Set the symbol duration automatically

Now that we have access to all the basic information to know which
symbol duration should be applied, let's set the symbol duration
automatically. The two locations that must call for the symbol duration
to be set are:
- when manually requesting a channel change though the netlink interface
- at PHY creation, ieee802154_alloc_hw() already calls
ieee802154_change_channel() which will now update the symbol duration
accordingly.

If an information is missing, the symbol duration is not touched, a
debug message is eventually printed. This keeps the compatibility with
the unconverted drivers for which it was too complicated for me to find
their precise information. If they initially provided a symbol duration,
it would be kept. If they don't, the symbol duration value is left
untouched.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 03/27] net: ieee802154: Improve the way supported channels are declared

The idea here is to create a structure per set of channels so that we
can define much more than basic bitfields for these.

The structure is currently almost empty on purpose because this change
is supposed to be a mechanical update without additional information but
more details will be added in the following commits.

For each page, the core now has access to how many "chunks" of channels
are defined. Overall up to only 3 chunks have been defined so let's
hardcode this value to simplify a lot the handling. Then, for each
chunk, we define an independent bitfield of channels. As there are
several users of these bitfields, we also create the
cfg802154_get_supported_chans() helper to reconstruct the bitfield as it
was before when the only information that matters is identifying the
supported/unsupported channels.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 07/27] net: ieee802154: hwsim: Ensure frame checksum are valid

There is no point in accepting frames with a wrong or missing checksum,
at least not outside of a promiscuous setting. Set the right flag by
default in the hwsim driver to ensure checksums are not ignored.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 05/27] net: mac802154: Convert the symbol duration into nanoseconds

Tdsym is often given in the spec as pretty small numbers in microseconds
and hence was reflected in the code as symbol_duration and was stored as
a u8. Actually, for UWB PHYs, the symbol duration is given in
nanoseconds and are as precise as picoseconds. In order to handle better
these PHYs, change the type of symbol_duration to u32 and store this
value in nanoseconds.

All the users of this variable are updated in a mechanical change.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 08/27] net: ieee802154: Drop symbol duration settings when the core does it already

The core now knows how to set the symbol duration in a few cases, when
drivers correctly advertise the protocols used on each channel. For
these drivers, there is no more need to bother with symbol duration, so
just drop the duplicated code.

From: David Girault <[email protected]>

It makes certainly more sense to have all the low-range wireless
protocols such as Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) and IEEE 802.15.4
together, so let's move the main IEEE 802.15.4 stack Kconfig entry at a
better location.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 16/27] net: ieee802154: Define frame types

A 802.15.4 frame can be of different types, here is a definition
matching the specification. This enumeration will be soon be used when
adding scanning support.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 21/27] net: mac802154: Handle beacons requests

Implement the core hooks in order to provide the softMAC layer support
for sending beacons. Besides being able to test the full passive
scanning procedure, this will also be used when defining PAN coordinator
status, in order to give a device the right to answer received
BEACON_REQ.

Changing the channels is prohibited while a beacon operation is
ongoing.

The implementation uses a workqueue triggered at a certain interval
depending on the symbol duration for the current channel and the
interval order provided.

Sending beacons in response to an active scan request is not
yet supported.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 25/27] net: mac802154: Inform device drivers about scans

Let's create a couple of driver hooks in order to tell the device
drivers that a scan is ongoing, allowing them to eventually apply any
needed configuration, or in the worst case to refuse the operation if it
is not supported. These hooks are optional and not implementing them
does not prevent the scan operation to happen. Returning an error from
these implementations will however shut down the scan entirely.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 17/27] net: ieee802154: Add support for scanning requests

This involves processing triggering scan requests, abort scan requests,
as well as providing information about if the last scan was finished or
not.

A scan request structure is created to list the requirements.

A netlink multicast scan group is also created for the occasion so that
listeners can only focus on scan activity.

Mac layers may now implement the ->trigger_scan() and ->abort_scan()
hooks.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 26/27] net: mac802154: Inform device drivers about beacon operations

Let's create a couple of driver hooks in order to tell the device
drivers that beacons are being sent, allowing them to eventually apply
any needed configuration, or in the worst case to refuse the operation
if it is not supported. These hooks are optional and not implementing
them does not prevent the beacons operation to happen. Returning an
error from these implementations will however shut down the beacons
configuration entirely.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 24/27] net: mac802154: Add support for processing beacon requests

When performing an active scan, coordinators emit beacon requests which
must be answered by other PANs receiving the request.

Answering a beacon request is considered a duty whenever the user
performs a "send beacons" command with an interval of 15. As in the
softMAC we save the interval in micro-seconds, we use a negative value
to discriminate between a passive beacons command and the task to answer
received beacon requests.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 20/27] net: ieee802154: Add support for beacon requests

This involves processing beacons requests: starting or stopping
the flow of beacons sent passively on a specific interface. The page and
channel must be changed beforehands if needed. Interval orders above 14
are reserved to tell a device it must answer BEACON_REQ coming from an
active scan procedure (this is not supported yet).

A beacons request structure is created to list the requirements.

Mac layers may now implement the ->send_beacons() and
->stop_beacons() hooks.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 19/27] net: ieee802154: Full PAN management

Now that scanning is supported and PANs properly registered, give
certain rights to the user, such as listing asynchronously the listed
PANs as well as flushing the list.

The maximum number of PANs to list and their delay before expiration can
be configured. By default there is no limit. When these parameters are
set, PANs are automatically dropped from the list.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 27/27] net: ieee802154: ca8210: Refuse most of the scan operations

The Cascada 8210 hardware transceiver is kind of a hardMAC which
interfaces with the softMAC and in practice does not support sending
anything else than dataframes. This means we cannot send any BEACON_REQ
during active scans nor any BEACON in general. Refuse these operations
officially so that the user is aware of the limitation.

Subject: [wpan-next v2 18/27] net: mac802154: Handle scan requests

Implement the core hooks in order to provide the softMAC layer support
for scan requests and aborts.

Changing the channels is prohibited during the scan.

As transceiver enter in a promiscuous mode during scans, they might stop
checking frame validity so we ensure this gets done at mac level.

The implementation uses a workqueue triggered at a certain interval
depending on the symbol duration for the current channel and the
duration order provided.

Received beacons during a passive scanning procedure are processed and
either registered in the list of known PANs or the existing entry gets
updated accordingly.

Active scanning is not supported yet.

no, we don't set channels at probe time. We set the
current_page/channel whatever the default is according to the hardware
datasheet. I think this channel should be dropped and all drivers set
the defaults before registering hw as what we do at e.g. at86rf230,

so there is no flag that this driver can't support scanning currently
and it works now because the offload functionality will return
-ENOTSUPP? This is misleading because I would assume if it's not
supported we can do it by software which the driver can't do.

... I see that the offload functions now are getting used and have a
reason to be upstream, but the use of it is wrong.

Please look into the functions "ieee802154_wake_queue()" and
"ieee802154_stop_queue()" which prevent this function from being
called. Call stop before starting scanning and wake after scanning is
done or stopped.

Also there exists a race which exists in your way and also the one
mentioned above. There can still be some transmissions going on... We
need to wait until "all possible" tx completions are done... to be
sure there are really no transmissions going on. However we need to be
sure that a wake cannot be done if a tx completion is done, we need to
avoid it when the scan operation is ongoing as a workaround for this
race.

This race exists and should be fixed in future work?

I think you need to implement a sync transmit handling here. And what
I mean is not using dryv_xmit_sync() (It is a long story and should
not be used, it's just that the driver is allowed to call bus api
functions which can sleep). We don't have such a function yet (but I
think it can be implemented), you should wait until the transmission
is done. If we don't wait we fill framebuffers on the hardware while
the hardware is transmitting the framebuffer which is... bad.

Please implement it so that we have a synchronous api above the
asynchronous transmit api.

Is there a reason for refusing to call ->set_channel() at probe time?

Anyway, I'll put the symbol duration setting in the registration helper
and I will fix hwsim aside.

I believe there is a misunderstanding.

This is what I have understood from your previous comments in v1:
"This driver does not support transmitting anything else than
datagrams", which is what I assumed was a regular data packet. IOW,
sending a MAC_CMD such as a beacon request or sending a beacon was not
supported physically by the hardware. Hence, most of the scans
operations cannot be performed and must be rejected (all but a passive
scan, assuming that receiving beacons was okay).

Please mind the update in that hook which currently is just an FYI from
the mac to the drivers and not a "do it by yourself" injunction. So
answering -EOPNOTSUPP to the mac here does not mean:
"I cannot handle it by myself, the scan cannot happen"
but
"I cannot handle the forged frames, so let's just not try"

> ... I see that the offload functions now are getting used and have a
> reason to be upstream, but the use of it is wrong.

As a personal matter of taste, I don't like flags when it comes to
something complex like supporting a specific operation. Just in the
scanning procedure there are 4 different actions and a driver might
support only a subset of these, which is totally fine but hard to
properly describe by well-named flags. Here the driver hooks say to
the driver which are interested "here is what is going to happen" and
then they can:
- ignore the details by just not implementing the hooks, let the mac do
its job, they will then transmit the relevant frames forged by the
mac
- eventually enter a specific mode internally for this operation, but
basically do the same as above, ie. transmitting the frames forged
by the mac
- refuse the operation by returning an error code if something cannot
be done

I've experienced a number of situations in the MTD world and later with
IIO drivers where flags have been remodeled and reused in different
manners, until the flag description gets totally wrong and
undescriptive regarding what it actually does. Hence my main idea of
letting drivers refuse these operations instead of having the mac doing
it for them.

I can definitely use flags if you want, but in this case, what flags do
you want to see?

Miquèl

As you probably saw, my idea was to call for a channel change during
the registration but you nacked that possibility so I'll indeed have
to set the symbol duration manually there.

I couldn't find reliable information about what this meant:

/* SUB:0 and BPSK:0 -> BPSK-20 */
/* SUB:1 and BPSK:0 -> BPSK-40 */
/* SUB:0 and BPSK:1 -> OQPSK-100/200/400 */
/* SUB:1 and BPSK:1 -> OQPSK-250/500/1000 */

None of these comments match the spec so I don't know what to put
there. If you know what these protocols are, I will immediately
provide this information into the driver and ensure the core handles
these durations properly before dropping the symbol_durations settings
from the code.

Mmmh all this is already done, isn't it?
- mac802154_trigger_scan_locked() stops the queue before setting the
promiscuous mode
- mac802154_end_of_scan() wakes the queue after resetting the
promiscuous mode to its original state

Should I drop the check which stands for an extra precaution?


But overall I think I don't understand well this part. What is
a bit foggy to me is why the (async) tx implementation does:

*Core* *Driver*

stop_queue()
drv_async_xmit() -------
\------> do something
------- calls ieee802154_xmit_complete()
wakeup_queue() <--------/

So we actually disable the queue for transmitting. Why??

Yep, this is true, do you have any pointers? Because I looked at the
code and for now it appears quite unpractical to add some kind of
flushing mechanism on that net queue. I believe we cannot use the netif
interface for that so we would have to implement our own mechanism in
the ieee802154 core.

Do you already have something in mind?

If I focus on the scan operation, it could be that we consider the
queue empty, then we put this transfer, wait for completion and
continue. But this only work for places where we know we have full
control over what is transmitted (eg. during a scan) and not for all
transfers. Would this fit your idea?

Or do you want something more generic with some kind of an
internal queue where we have the knowledge of what has been queued and
a token to link with every xmit_done call that is made?

I'm open to suggestions.

because the current drivers work the way to not set the channel/page
during probe time. Also the 802.15.4 spec states that this default
value is hardware specific and this goes back whatever the vendor
decides. Also you drop the check that if the same channel is already
set don't set it which works like a shadow register for registers.
Is there a reason why to set a channel during probe time? Are you
setting the value which is the default one again? If the driver has a
random default value it should choose some and stick to one, the
others do whatever the datasheet has after resetting the hardware.

I really don't see the sense here why every driver should introduce on
driver level a set channel call. At probing time the transceiver
registers are already in a state which we should reflect.

I think those are from the transceiver datasheets (which are free to
access). Can you not simply merge them or is there a conflict?

Why should the driver be fixed? It's more this table which needs to be fixed?

Can you also set the lifs/sifs period after the duration is known?

no, I think then it should be a WARN_ON() more without any return
(hopefully it will survive). This case should never happen otherwise
we have a bug that we wake the queue when we "took control about
transmissions" only.
Change the name, I think it will be in future not only scan related.
Maybe "mac802154_queue_stopped()". Everything which is queued from
socket/upperlayer(6lowpan) goes this way.

Because all transceivers have either _one_ transmit framebuffer or one
framebuffer for transmit and receive one time. We need to report to
stop giving us more skb's while we are busy with one to transmit.
This all will/must be changed in future if there is hardware outside
which is more powerful and the driver needs to control the flow here.

That ieee802154_xmit_complete() calls wakeup_queue need to be
forbidden when we are in "synchronous transmit mode"/the queue is
stopped. The synchronous transmit mode is not for any hotpath, it's
for MLME and I think we also need a per phy lock to avoid multiple
synchronous transmissions at one time. Please note that I don't think
here only about scan operation, also for other possible MLME-ops.

yes, we need some kind of "wait_for_completion()" and "complete()". We
are currently lucky that we allow only one skb to be transmitted at
one time. I think it is okay to put that on a per phy basis...

I think we should care about drivers which use drv_xmit_sync() or we
disable scan operations for them... so the actual transmit function
should prefer async but use sync if it's not implemented. I am not a
fan of this inside the core, if some driver really want to workaround
their bus system because it's simpler to use or whatever they should
do that inside the driver and not let the core queue it for them in
the right context. There are reasons why xmit_do is in softirq
context.

That we currently allow only one skb at one time (because ?all?
supported hardware doesn't have multiple tx framebuffers) this makes
everything for now pretty simple.

Don't let the queue run empty, the queue here is controlled by the
qdsic (I suppose and I hope we are talking about the same queue) we
already stop the queue which stops further skb to transmit to the
hardware but there can be one ongoing which we need to wait for. I
said in a previous mail a wait_for_completion()/complete() works here,
but I think now that could be problematic because scan-op ->
wait_for_completion() and complete() can run parallel in different
contexts. I think we need to do that over a waitqueue and a
wait_event(). Maybe you can track somehow with an atomic counter how
many transmissions are currently ongoing (should be never higher than
one currently). However the atomic counter will be future proofed when
we support filling up more than one framebuffer. So the condition for
wait_event() would be atomic_test(phy->ongoing_txs) - or something
like that. Increment in transmit path and decrement in xmit_done path,
if it hits zero wake_up() the queue so the condition will be checked
again.

That the queue is controlled by qdisc and we stop the queue for a long
time will somehow act the qdisc badly and dropping skb's in the
"hotpath" as I mentioned earlier it should be okay.

Be sure we don't activate the queue again in the xmit complete
function, if we do the WARN_ON(mac...queue_stopped()) should be
triggered and this indicates we were not expecting to transmit
something over this path.

I am sorry, the wait_event() will fix the issue after calling
stop_queue() to be sure there are no ongoing transmissions. Now we
need to have some idea about how to implement the synchronous transmit
function. We have the function (drv_xmit_async, or something higher
level to take care of sync as well) to transmit a skb and the complete
handler is xmit_complete(). As I mentioned we allow only one skb for
one time... Somehow we need to have a wait here and a per phy
wait_for_completion()/complete() will in this case work. Even if there
is hardware outside which has more transmit buffers, we probably would
send one skb at one for slowpath (having full control of
transmissions) anyway.

and I said that this driver is a HardMAC transceiver connected to the
SoftMAC layer which is already wrong to exist (very special handling
is required here).
dataframes here are "data" type frames and I suppose it's also not
able to deliver/receive other types than data to mac802154.

It seems the author of this driver is happy to have data frames only
but we need to take care that additional mac802154 handling is simply
not possible to do here.

The problem here is that a SoftMAC transceiver should always be
capable of doing it by software so the "but case" makes no sense in
this layer.
On a mac802154 layer and "offload" driver functions as they are and
they report me "-ENOTSUPP", I would assume that I can go back and do
it by software which again should always be possible to do in
mac802154.

Do some phy quirks flags which indicate that the transceiver is not
capable of doing scan operation by software. Or just use a boolean in
phy capabilities (but don't export them to userspace, note that this
flag should be removed later) if this operation is not allowed.

I don't like this flag either, it is a workaround to still support the
driver as it is and don't allow new fancy things because it cannot
handle it. We should work on it to remove this flag, but this is a
longer process. Either the driver is implementing those hooks "real"
to somehow run a scan (but at it's own risk) or it needs to be
implemented as a HardMAC driver. This driver is already difficult to
maintain because it doesn't fit here...

Actually I misread the driver, it supports several kind of chips with
different channel settings and this disturbed me. I downloaded the
datasheet and figured that the number after the protocol is the bit
rate. This helped me to make the connection with what I already know,
so both atusb and atrf86230 drivers have been converted too.

First, thank you very much for all your guidance and reviews, I think I
have a much clearer understanding now.

I've tried to follow your advices, creating:
- a way of tracking ongoing transmissions
- a synchronous API for MLME transfers

I've decided to use the wait_queue + atomic combo which looks nice.
Everything seems to work, I just need a bit of time to clean and rework
a bit the series before sending a v3.

Thanks,

Please note that I think we cannot use netif_stop_queue() from context
outside of netif xmit() callback. It's because the atomic counter
itself is racy in xmit(), we need to be sure xmit() can't occur while
stopping the queue. I think maybe "netif_tx_disable()" is the right
call to stop from another context, because it holds the tx_lock, which
I believe is held while xmit().
Where the wake queue call should be fine to call..., maybe we can
remove some EXPORT_SYMBOL() then?

I saw that some drivers call "ieee802154_wake_queue()" in error cases,
may we introduce a new helper "?ieee802154_xmit_error?" for error
cases so you can also catch error cases in your sync tx. See `grep -r
"ieee802154_wake_queue" drivers/net/ieee802154`, if we have more
information we might add more meaning into the error cases (e.g.
proper errno).

Okay, sounds good to implement both requirements.

I was thinking about this a lot and I think the driver is already
buggy in many ways e.g. what happens when we do AF_PACKET raw sockets
and do some different frame types than data. I have no idea, maybe we
should leave it as it is... and simply don't care? Maybe the driver
needs to drop a lot of frames if they are different... it runs already
different than other transceivers which we don't check at all.

and what is about hwsim? I think the table gets too large then...
that's why I was thinking of moving that somehow to the regdb, however
this is another project as I said and this way is fine. Maybe we use a
kind of fallback then? The hwsim phy isn't really any 802.15.4 PHY,
it's just memcpy() but it would be nice to be able to test scan with
it. So far I understand it is already possible to make something with
hwsim here but what about the zero symbol rate and the "waiting
period" is zero?

btw:
Also for testing with hwsim and the missing features which currently
exist. Can we implement some user space test program which replies
(active scan) or sends periodically something out via AF_PACKET raw
and a monitor interface that should work to test if it is working?
Ideally we could do that very easily with scapy (not sure about their
_upstream_ 802.15.4 support). I hope I got that right that there is
still something missing but we could fake it in such a way (just for
hwsim testing).

Side note: tx via monitor over AF_PACKET raw is without fcs currently.

In my current implementation I don't see this as a real problem because
for me, there is no real difference between:

- a transfer is started
- we call stop_queue()
* right here a transfer is ongoing *

and

- we call stop_queue()
- the counter is racy hence a last transfer is started
* right here a transfer is ongoing *

because stopping the queue and "flushing" it are two different things.
In the code I don't only rely on the queue being stopped but if I don't
want any more transfer to happen after that, so I also sync the queue
thanks to the new helpers introduced.

Please check v3 (which is coming very soon) and tell me what you think.
Maybe I missed something.

Most of the time the calling functions are void functions. In fact they
all simply hardcode the xmit_done helper and even worse, sometimes they
simply leak the skb. I've handled that already by updating all these
callers to be sure the only way out is to call xmit_done, which helps a
lot tracking transfers.

Also, you are right, we can certainly drop a couple of EXPORT_SYMBOLS
:-)

For now I've handled it with a flag, I'll send the patch as it is so
that someone else can pick it up if you finally decide to not touch
this driver for now and change your mind later on.

I would however argue that having these constraint devices flagged in
some way is better than nothing. You personally know the issue, but
newcomers don't.

I'm sorry but I don't follow you here, what do you mean by "the table

Before this series: many drivers would not set the symbol duration
properly. In this case the scan will likely not work because wait
periods will be too short. But that's how it is, we miss some
information.

But for hwsim, I've handled a lot of situations so yes, there are
still channels that won't have a proper symbol duration because I just
don't know them, but for most of them (several pages) it will work like

We already have all this handled, no need for extra software. You can
test active and passive scans between two hwsim devices already:

# iwpan dev wpan0 beacons send interval 15
# iwpan dev wpan1 scan type active duration 1
# iwpan dev wpan0 beacons stop

or

# iwpan dev wpan0 beacons send interval 1
# iwpan dev wpan1 scan type passive duration 2
# iwpan dev wpan0 beacons stop

I hope the above will match your expectations.

I need to think and read more about... in my mind is currently the
following question: are not coordinators broadcasting that information
only? Means, isn't that a job for a coordinator?

My understanding right now:
- The spec states that coordinators only can send beacons and perform
scans.
- I don't yet have the necessary infrastructure to give coordinators
more rights than regular devices or RFDs (but 40+ patches already,
don't worry this is something we have in mind)
- Right now this is the user to decide whether a device might answer
beacon requests or not. This will soon become more limited but it
greatly simplifies the logic for now.

There was always the idea behind it to make an "coordinator" interface
type and there is a reason for that because things e.g. filtering
becomes different than a non-coordinator interface type (known as node
interface in wpan).
At the end interface types should make a big difference in how the
"role" inside the network should be, which you can also see in
wireless as "station"/"access point" interface devices.

A non full functional device should then also not be able to act as a
coordinator e.g. it cannot create coordinator types.

However we can still make some -EOPNOTSUPP if something in a different
way should be done. This clearly breaks userspace and I am not sure if
we should worry or not worry about it in the current state of
802.15.4...

I've added a few more parameters to be able to reflect the type of
device (ffd, rfd, rfd_r/tx) and also eventually its coordinator state.
I've hacked into nl802154 to give these information to the user and let
it device wether the device (if it's an ffd) should act as a
coordinator. This is only a first step before we create a real PAN
creation procedure of course.

I've then adapted the following patches to follow check against the
device/coordinator state to decide if an operation should be aborted or
not.

Okay, I need to see the patches to say anything about that and how it fits.

The problem still exists that we don't currently have any distinction
to know if a device can do it or not. After this patch series every
"node interface" is allowed to scan/send beacons, where a node
interface should not be allowed to do it. If we change it later we
break things. However there is still the question if we care about it
because 802.15.4 is in such an early/experimental state. It was
"experimental" as the Kconfig EXPERIMENTAL entry still existed. It was
dropped because most people ignored this setting, that doesn't mean
that 802.15.4 ever left the experimental state.
