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 */

34/**
35 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
36 *
37 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
f0706e82
JB
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
2485f710
JB
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-irqsafe functions!

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.

675 * rely on the host system for such buffering. This option is used
676 * to configure the IEEE 802.11 upper layer to buffer broadcast and
677 * multicast frames when there are power saving stations so that
678 * the driver can fetch them with ieee80211_get_buffered_bc(). Note
679 * that not setting this flag works properly only when the

851 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
852 *
853 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
854 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
855 *
856 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
857 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
858 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
859 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
860 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
861 * be used only for transmission.
862 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
863 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
4150c572 864 *
75a5f0cc
JB
865 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
866 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
867 *
868 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
869 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
870 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
871 *
872 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
873 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
874 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
875 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
876 *
877 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
878 *
879 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
880 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
881 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
882 * based on the receive flags.
883 *
884 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
885 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
886 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
887 * keys.
9ae4fda3
EG
888 *
889 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
890 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
891 * handler.
892 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
893 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
894 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
895 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
896 * provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
897 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

901 * DOC: Frame filtering
902 *
903 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
904 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
905 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
906 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
907 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
908 *
909 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
910 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
911 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
912 *
913 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
914 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
915 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
916 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
917 *
918 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
919 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
920 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
921 * or dropped.
922 *
d0f5afbe
MB
923 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
924 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
925 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
926 * the flag, but not clear it.
927 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
928 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
929 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
930 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
931 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
932 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
933 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
934 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1009 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
1010 * Must be implemented and atomic.
75a5f0cc
JB
1011 *
1012 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1013 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1014 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1015 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1016 * or zero.
1017 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1018 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1019 * is added.
1020 * Must be implemented.
1021 *
1022 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1023 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1024 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1025 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1026 * an interface.
1027 * Must be implemented.
1028 *
1029 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1030 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
1031 * and @stop must be implemented.
1032 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1033 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1034 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1035 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1036 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1037 * Must be implemented.

1039 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1040 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1041 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1042 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1043 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1044 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1045 * MAC address of the device going away.
1046 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.

1048 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1049 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.

1057 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
