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

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.

1108 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL

1114 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1115 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1116 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1117 *
1118 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1119 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1120 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the

1122 *
1123 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1124 *
1125 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1126 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1127 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1128 * based on the receive flags.

1130 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key

1147 * DOC: Powersave support
1148 *
1149 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1150 *
c99445b1
KV
1151 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1152 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1153 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1154 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1155 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1156 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1157 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1158 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1159 *
1160 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1161 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1162 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1163 * up the hardware before issueing commands to the hardware and putting it
1164 * back to sleep at approriate times.
1165 *
1166 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1167 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1168 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
4be8c387
JB
1169 *
1170 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also

1182 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle

1185 * Dynamic powersave is supported by simply mac80211 enabling and disabling
1186 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS

1188 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1189 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1190 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1191 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1192 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1193 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1194 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1195 *
1196 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1197 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1198 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1199 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1200 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1201 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1202 *
1203 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with

1207/**
1208 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1209 *
1210 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1211 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1212 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1213 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1214 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1215 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1216 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1217 *
955394c9
JB
1218 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1219 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1220 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1221 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1222 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1223 *
1224 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1225 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1226 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1227 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1228 *
1229 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1230 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1231 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1232 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1233 * - a list of information element IDs
1234 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1235 *
1236 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1237 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1238 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1239 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1240 * vendor information elements.
1241 *
1242 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1243 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1244 *
1245 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1246 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1247 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1248 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1249 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1250 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1251 *
1252 *
1253 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1254 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1255 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1256 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1257 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1258 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1259 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1260 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1261 *
1262 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1263 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1264 * signal strength threshold checking.

1268 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1269 *
1270 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1271 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1272 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1273 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1274 *
1275 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1276 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1277 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1278 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1279 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1280 * hardware flags.
1281 *
1282 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1283 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1284 * turned off otherwise.
1285 *
1286 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1287 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1288 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1289 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.

1293 * DOC: Frame filtering
1294 *
1295 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1296 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1297 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1298 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1299 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1300 *
1301 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1302 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1303 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1304 *
3ac64bee
JB
1305 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1306 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1307 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1308 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1309 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1310 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1311 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
75a5f0cc
JB
1312 *
1313 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1314 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1315 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1316 * or dropped.
1317 *
d0f5afbe
MB
1318 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1319 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1320 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1321 * the flag, but not clear it.
1322 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1323 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1324 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1325 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1326 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1327 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1328 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1329 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

2327 * @block: whether to block or unblock
2328 *
2329 * Some devices require that all frames that are on the queues
2330 * for a specific station that went to sleep are flushed before
2331 * a poll response or frames after the station woke up can be
2332 * delivered to that it. Note that such frames must be rejected
2333 * by the driver as filtered, with the appropriate status flag.
2334 *
2335 * This function allows implementing this mode in a race-free
2336 * manner.
2337 *
2338 * To do this, a driver must keep track of the number of frames
2339 * still enqueued for a specific station. If this number is not
2340 * zero when the station goes to sleep, the driver must call
2341 * this function to force mac80211 to consider the station to
2342 * be asleep regardless of the station's actual state. Once the
2343 * number of outstanding frames reaches zero, the driver must
2344 * call this function again to unblock the station. That will
2345 * cause mac80211 to be able to send ps-poll responses, and if
2346 * the station queried in the meantime then frames will also
2347 * be sent out as a result of this. Additionally, the driver
2348 * will be notified that the station woke up some time after
2349 * it is unblocked, regardless of whether the station actually
2350 * woke up while blocked or not.
