Name

wimax_state_change — Set the current state of a WiMAX device

Synopsis

void wimax_state_change (struct wimax_dev * wimax_dev,
 enum wimax_st new_state);
 

Arguments

struct wimax_dev * wimax_dev

WiMAX device descriptor (properly referenced)

enum wimax_st new_state

New state to switch to

Description

This implements the state changes for the wimax devices. It will

- verify that the state transition is legal (for now it'll just print a warning if not) according to the table in linux/wimax.h's documentation for 'enum wimax_st'.

- perform the actions needed for leaving the current state and whichever are needed for entering the new state.

- issue a report to user space indicating the new state (and an optional payload with information about the new state).

NOTE

wimax_dev must be locked
