Subject: [PATCH] reserve device ID for hwsim wireless simulation
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> The Linux mac80211-hwsim module currently allows simulation of multiple wireless radios on a shared medium, and has an existing API for this to work through a userspace implementation of the medium simulation (e.g. implemented by wmediumd). In order to simplify working with virtual machines and to enable (time-compressed) simulation use cases, allocate a virtio device ID to allow carrying this protocol over virtio in addition to the current netlink sockets. Since device ID 28 was previously requested, use 29. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> --- There's an existing allocation of ID 10 for "mac80211 wlan" that has - to my knowledge as the maintainer of mac80211 - never been used anywhere, and I'm not familiar with the allocation for it. It seems pretty safe to use that number here, if that's better? --- content.tex | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/content.tex b/content.tex index 06bb4ca43d67..1703e97e0a81 100644 --- a/content.tex +++ b/content.tex @@ -2795,6 +2795,8 @@ \chapter{Device Types}\label{sec:Device Types} \hline 27 & PMEM device \\ \hline +29 & mac80211 hwsim wireless simulation device \\ +\hline \end{tabular} Some of the devices above are unspecified by this document, -- 2.20.1
