wimax: move out to staging

2020-10-29T18:27:45+00:00

There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether. As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack. NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the www.linuxwimax.org site had already shut down earlier. WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks ("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the only driver using the kernel's wimax stack. Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order to make it possible to port patches across the move. Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing list and website.

wimax: use genl_register_family_with_ops()

2013-11-14T22:10:40+00:00

This simplifies the code since there's no longer a need to have error handling in the registration. Unfortunately it means more extern function declarations are needed, but the overall goal would seem to justify this. Due to the removal of duplication in the netlink policies, this reduces the size of wimax by almost 1k. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

wimax: allow WIMAX_RF_QUERY calls when state is still uninitialized

2009-10-19T06:56:14+00:00

Until now, calls to wimax_rfkill() will be blocked until the device is at least past the WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED state, return -ENOMEDIUM when the device is in the WIMAX_ST_DOWN state. In parallel, wimax-tools would issue a wimax_rfkill(WIMAX_RF_QUERY) call right after opening a handle with wimaxll_open() as means to verify if the interface is really a WiMAX interface [newer kernel version will have a call specifically for this]. The combination of these two facts is that in some cases, before the driver has finalized initializing its device's firmware, a wimaxll_open() call would fail, when it should not. Thus, change the wimax_rfkill() code to allow queries when the device is in WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED state. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez
