25 * DOC: Introduction
26 *
27 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
28 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
29 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
30 * drivers.

33/**
34 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
35 *
36 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
f0706e82
JB
37 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
38 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
39 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
2485f710
JB
40 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
41 * tasklet function.
42 *
43 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
6ef307bc 44 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!

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

76 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
77 *
78 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
79 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
80 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
81 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
82 *
83 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
84 * suspend.

1260 * DOC: Powersave support
1261 *
1262 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1263 *
c99445b1
KV
1264 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1265 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1266 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1267 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1268 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1269 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1270 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1271 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1272 *
1273 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1274 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1275 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
2738bd68
BC
1276 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1277 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
c99445b1
KV
1278 *
1279 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1280 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1281 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
4be8c387
JB
1282 *
1283 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1284 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1285 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1286 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
955394c9
JB
1287 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1288 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
c99445b1
KV
1289 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1290 *
1291 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1292 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1293 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1294 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1295 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1296 * periods.
1297 *
2738bd68 1298 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
c99445b1
KV
1299 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1300 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1301 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1302 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1303 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1304 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1305 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1306 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1307 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1308 *
f90754c1
JO
1309 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1310 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1311 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1312 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1313 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1314 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1315 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1316 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1317 *
c99445b1
KV
1318 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1319 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1320 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1321 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1322 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1323 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1324 *
1325 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1326 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.

1329/**
1330 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1331 *
1332 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1333 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1334 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1335 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1336 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1337 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1338 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1339 *
955394c9
JB
1340 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1341 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1342 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1343 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1344 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1345 *
1346 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1347 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1348 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1349 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1350 *
1351 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1352 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1353 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1354 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1355 * - a list of information element IDs
1356 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1357 *
1358 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1359 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1360 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1361 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1362 * vendor information elements.
1363 *
1364 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1365 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1366 *
1367 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1368 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1369 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1370 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1371 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1372 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1373 *
1374 *
1375 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1376 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1377 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1378 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1379 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1380 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1381 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1382 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1383 *
1384 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1385 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1386 * signal strength threshold checking.

1390 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1391 *
1392 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve

1396 *
1397 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1398 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1399 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the

1405 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1406 * turned off otherwise.
1407 *
1408 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate

1415 * DOC: Frame filtering
1416 *
1417 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1418 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1419 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1420 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1421 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1422 *
1423 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1424 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1425 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1426 *
3ac64bee
JB
1427 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1428 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1429 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1430 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1431 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1432 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1433 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
75a5f0cc
JB
1434 *
1435 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1436 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1437 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1438 * or dropped.
1439 *
d0f5afbe
MB
1440 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1441 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1442 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1443 * the flag, but not clear it.
1444 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1445 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1446 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1447 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1448 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1449 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1450 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.

1535 *
1536 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1537 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1538 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
eefce91a
JB
1539 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1540 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1541 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
6dd1bf31
BC
1542 * This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
1543 * limited cases.
eefce91a 1544 * Must be implemented and atomic.
75a5f0cc
JB
1545 *
1546 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1547 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1548 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1549 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1550 * or zero.
1551 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1552 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1553 * is added.
e1781ed3 1554 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
75a5f0cc
JB
1555 *
1556 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1557 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1558 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1559 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
42935eca
LR
1560 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1561 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
e1781ed3 1562 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
75a5f0cc
JB
1563 *
1564 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
e37d4dff 1565 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
75a5f0cc
JB
1566 * and @stop must be implemented.
1567 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1568 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1569 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1570 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1571 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
e1781ed3 1572 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1573 *
34d4bc4d
JB
1574 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
1575 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
1576 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
1577 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
1578 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
1579 *
75a5f0cc
JB
1580 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1581 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1582 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1583 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1584 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1585 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1586 * MAC address of the device going away.
e1781ed3 1587 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
75a5f0cc
JB
1588 *
1589 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1590 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
6dd1bf31 1591 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
e1781ed3 1592 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1593 *
471b3efd
JB
1594 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1595 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1596 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1597 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1598 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
e1781ed3
KV
1599 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1600 * can sleep.
471b3efd 1601 *
3ac64bee
JB
1602 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
1603 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
1604 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
1605 *
75a5f0cc
JB
1606 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1607 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
e1781ed3 1608 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1609 *
546c80c9 1610 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
17741cdc 1611 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
75a5f0cc
JB
1612 *
1613 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
e1781ed3
KV
1614 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
1615 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
dc822b5d 1616 * is enabled.
6dd1bf31 1617 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
e1781ed3 1618 * The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1619 *
9ae4fda3
EG
1620 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1621 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1622 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
eb807fb2 1623 * The callback must be atomic.
9ae4fda3 1624 *
75a5f0cc 1625 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
8318d78a 1626 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
9050bdd8
KV
1627 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1628 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
de95a54b
JB
1629 * that power save is disabled.
1630 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1631 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1632 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1633 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1634 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1635 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1636 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
e1781ed3 1637 * The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1638 *
80e775bf

1639 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1640 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.

62da92fb
JB
1652 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1653 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1654 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
e1781ed3 1655 * The callback must be atomic.
75a5f0cc 1656 *
f23a4780
AN
1657 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
1658 * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
