Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mac80211: restructuring data Rx handlers

This patch restructures the Rx handlers chain by incorporating previously
handlers ieee80211_rx_h_802_1x_pae and ieee80211_rx_h_drop_unencrypted
into ieee80211_rx_h_data, already in 802.3 form. this scheme follows more
precisely after the IEEE802.11 data plane archituecture, and will prevent
code duplication to IEEE8021.11n A-MSDU handler.

added function:
- ieee80211_data_to_8023: transfering 802.11 data frames to 802.3 frame
- ieee80211_deliver_skb: delivering the 802.3 frames to upper stack
eliminated handlers:
- ieee80211_rx_h_drop_unencrypted: now function ieee80211_drop_unencrypted
- ieee80211_rx_h_802_1x_pae: now function ieee80211_802_1x_pae
changed handlers:
- ieee80211_rx_h_data: now contains calls to four above function

Great, so needed changes are on their way, and i will issue tomorrow
the A-MSDU patch that uses the new handlers scheme.
thanks

excellent catch, you are right.
let me suggest an alternative, which makes use of current ieee80211_is_eapol.
in regular Rx data frames, code will look like this:

+ ieee80211_drop_802_1x_pae(rx, size of current 802.11 hdr);
+ ieee80211_drop_unencrypted(rx, size of current 802.11 hdr);
ieee80211_data_to_8023(rx)
- ieee80211_drop_802_1x_pae(rx, size of 802.3 hdr);
- ieee80211_drop_unencrypted(rx, size of 802.3 hdr);

while in A-MSDU frames code will look like this:

ieee80211_data_to_8023(rx)
for each internal frame (that is any how in 802.2 form):
+ ieee80211_drop_802_1x_pae(rx, 0);
+ ieee80211_drop_unencrypted(rx, 0);
move from 802.2 to 802.3
- ieee80211_drop_802_1x_pae(rx, size of 802.3 hdr);
- ieee80211_drop_unencrypted(rx, size of 802.3 hdr);

I thought it makes good use of the infrastructure we made so far, what
do you think?

Oh sure, that works too. I guess you could inline all of it even
ieee80211_is_eapol(tx->skb,
ieee80211_get_hdrlen(le16_to_cpu(hdr->frame_control)))

But yeah, whatever, I'm not concerned about the byteswap.

main reason is that ieee80211_is_eapol is called both in Tx and Rx
flows, so the caller is reaponsible for passing the header length
(802.3 in Rx and 802.11 in Tx).

as ieee80211_802_1x_pae is not a 802.11 specific any more, it has no knowledge
about the header, therefore no knowledge about mac address. I could
pass to it the mac address as well, but looks odd to do that only for
debug printing.

no problems, will do

those functions can be used now for 802.11 or 802.3 frames so caller
should pass header length for them

Hmmm... yes, it will probebly look better. i'll just do a slight
change in function's names so it will be clearer to reader.

I agree, thanks for the remark.
Yet, i wouldn't like to add another function that does basically the
same as ieee80211_is_eapol (or sending an indication for
ieee80211_is_eapol about header type what will lessen its
flexsibility)
I was thinking to move ieee80211_get_hdrlen to:
ieee80211_is_eapol(tx->skb, ieee80211_get_hdrlen(fc))
this way i keep flexibility in ieee80211_is_eapol and won't calculate
header length unless really needed.

Looks good to me, thanks.

I'll clean out the eapol handling that looks a bit odd now w/o the
management interface in a later patch.

Yes, that would work too. I'm not entirely sure about the effect on
eapol handling but I'll sort that out with that patch then. At worst I
get to restructure the code instead of you :)

Actually, what I did in that patch is move the eapol decision out of the
port control function which is probably better. Anyway, if you can do
the restructuring and make it work as it is now, I'll do the rest.
