  25/**
  26 * DOC: Introduction
  27 *
  28 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
  29 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
  30 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
  31 * drivers.
  32 */
  33
  34/**
  35 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
  36 *
  37 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
  38 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
  39 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
  40 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
  41 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
  42 * tasklet function.
  43 *
  44 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
  45 *       use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
  46 */

  48/**
  49 * DOC: Warning
  50 *
  51 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
  52 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
  53 */
  54
  55/**
  56 * DOC: Frame format
  57 *
  58 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
  59 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
  60 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
  61 * hardware.
  62 *
  63 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
  64 *
  65 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
  66 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
  67 *
  68 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
  69 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
  70 *
  71 * Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
  72 * filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
  73 * not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.

 885 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
 886 *
 887 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
 888 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
 889 *
 890 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
 891 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
 892 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
 893 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
 894 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
 895 * be used only for transmission.
 896 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
 897 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
 898 *
 899 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
 900 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
 901 *
 902 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
 903 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
 904 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
 905 *
 906 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
 907 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
 908 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
 909 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
 910 *
 911 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
 912 *
 913 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
 914 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
 915 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
 916 * based on the receive flags.
 917 *
 918 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
 919 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
 920 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
 921 * keys.
 922 *
 923 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
 924 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
 925 * handler.
 926 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
 927 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
 928 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
 929 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
 930 * provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
 931 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

 934/**
 935 * DOC: Frame filtering
 936 *
 937 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
 938 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
 939 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
 940 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
 941 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
 942 *
 943 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
 944 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
 945 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
 946 *
 947 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
 948 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
 949 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
 950 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
 951 *
 952 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
 953 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
 954 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
 955 * or dropped.
 956 *
 957 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
 958 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
 959 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
 960 * the flag, but not clear it.
 961 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
 962 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
 963 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
 964 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
 965 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
 966 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
 967 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
 968 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1033 *
1034 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
1035 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
1036 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1037 *
1038 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1039 *      skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1040 *      The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1041 *      configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1042 *      preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1043 *      importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
1044 *      Must be implemented and atomic.
1045 *
1046 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1047 *      is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1048 *      frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1049 *      Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1050 *      or zero.
1051 *      When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1052 *      to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1053 *      is added.
1054 *      Must be implemented.
1055 *
1056 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1057 *      is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1058 *      it must turn off frame reception.)
1059 *      May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1060 *      an interface.
1061 *      Must be implemented.
1062 *
1063 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1064 *      enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
1065 *      and @stop must be implemented.
1066 *      The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1067 *      the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1068 *      interface is given in the conf parameter.
1069 *      The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1070 *      negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1071 *      Must be implemented.
1072 *
1073 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1074 *      The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1075 *      and no monitor interfaces are present.
1076 *      When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1077 *      must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1078 *      the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1079 *      MAC address of the device going away.
1080 *      Hence, this callback must be implemented.
1081 *
1082 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1083 *      function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1084 *
1085 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
1086 *      (e.g. BSSID changes.)
1087 *
1088 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1089 *      parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1090 *      level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1091 *      This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1092 *      for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1093 *      of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
1094 *
1095 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1096 *      See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1097 *      This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1098 *
1099 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1100 *      must be set or cleared for a given AID. Must be atomic.
1101 *
1102 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1103 *      This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1104 *      and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
1105 *      given local_address is enabled.
1106 *
1107 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1108 *      This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1109 *      which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1110 *
1111 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1112 *      the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1113 *      configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's registered
1114 *      bands.
1115 *
1116 * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
1117 *
1118 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1119 *      callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1120 *      and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1121 *
1122 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1123 *
1124 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
1125 *      the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
1126 *      the stack will not do fragmentation.
1127 *
1128 * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
1129 *
1130 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
1131 *      of assocaited station or AP.
1132 *
1133 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1134 *      bursting) for a hardware TX queue. Must be atomic.
1135 *
1136 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1137 *      to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1138 *      size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1139 *      (count). The 'stats' pointer points to an array that has hw->queues +
1140 *      hw->ampdu_queues items.
1141 *
1142 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1143 *      this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
1144 *      required function. Must be atomic.
1145 *
1146 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1147 *      with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1148 *      function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1149 *      TSF synchronization.
1150 *
1151 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1152 *      This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1153 *      used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1154 *
1155 * @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
1156 *
1157 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1158 *      The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1159 *      the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1160 *      ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1161 *      is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. notice
1162 *      that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
