From 37eb0b164cf9fa9f70c8500926f5cde7c652f48e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2010 13:09:08 +0200 Subject: cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate control Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting which rates can be used in TX rate control. Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled. The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained (but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be removed. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: John W.
