* socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain operations, and can opt in to this where applicable * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space) * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the kernel, which was already available to userspace * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no room to add them * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of magnitude) * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for MAC address privacy (still requires driver support) * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABCgAGBQJYeKu7AAoJEGt7eEactAAdwjEP/RA4bXFMfkC7qUJ++cLrMMwY yCvjb8+ULWL2wbCzpfY37acbGJgot3DNoQJzrO2jMQPqyM9nRlTMg5aF49cI7t62 gU6daNKJaGBe/0yeG7lTJ4n5UtVCDtN45hGc06Yert+ewb9njiJf+XYrtCWetsIJ 5bOLYQKPWOz/7UyMH7uJ25zrPFaiA3y7XnXKPEudagG/EwEq9ZuUpSSfLwEAEBPi 6i/2w4fLj32vXRsQMvQT0sU6mjd+1ub8Is7w5l2F06iWwNYPzdSM0IbU+E+ie2tk sE6RA70c4ILrp8KisTAz2lJPa4XEpFkLhI3lzRRy8CVzjyyo/OJen92zvr2R7TVb /uZG9qfRQ3UitQmgeKd+wS8PsbRAyWUR/xhNxD2r7zARH2vliwyneU+zEpXLeGA1 Y4PrN1+Fk45Ye4/4XSbPO4cf1MHX7qinN4rjrpsJKPwoYD/gQ1cZvef4AbaKPvq6 oCKRVrwNoUuSB8NTcMLPqze3WCfhnJyVUhCZTyzHeW4uG81qrHwrvBvM25vcWGcm CcSWFktFIpuGML4FCU3byZfb0NkmJtpCD4n7P98WFPGjvsWIEVCMckqlC8x1F7B7 BqqjGS2mGA17Xy0uLfmN/JempesQJnZhnAnFERdyX1S1YQuKhLwEu7OsYegnStDL Cn1wFw2/qcgeTkJfBICB =UToW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mac80211-next-for-davem-2017-01-13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211-next Johannes Berg says: ==================== For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases: * socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain operations, and can opt in to this where applicable * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space) * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the kernel, which was already available to userspace * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no room to add them * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of magnitude) * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for MAC address privacy (still requires driver support) * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
