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.
31 */
32
33/**
34 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
35 *
36 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
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
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
44 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!

47/**
48 * DOC: Warning
49 *
50 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
51 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.

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.

75/**
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.
85 *
86 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

356 * assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
357 * for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
358 * that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.

363 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
364 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
365 * station
366 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
367 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
368 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
369 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
370 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
371 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
372 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
373 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
374 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
375 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
376 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
377 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
378 * hardware queue.
379 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
380 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
381 * is for the whole aggregation.
382 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
383 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
384 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
385 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
386 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
387 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
388 * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
389 * it can be sent out.
390 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
391 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
392 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
393 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
394 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
395 * frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
396 * be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
397 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
398 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
399 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
400 * queue gets full.
401 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
402 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
403 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
404 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
405 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
406 * status to user space)
407 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
408 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
409 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
410 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
411 * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
412 * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
413 * handled properly by the device.
414 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
415 * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
416 * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
417 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
418 * This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
419 * frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
420 * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
421 * when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
422 * an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
423 * the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
424 * PS-Poll responses.
425 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
426 * This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
427 * the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
428 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
429 * would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
430 * monitor injection).
431 *
432 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
433 * forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

1513 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
1514 *
1515 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1516 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1517 *
1518 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1519 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1520 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1521 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1522 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1523 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1524 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1525 *
1526 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1527 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1528 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1529 *
1530 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1531 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1532 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1533 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1534 *
1535 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1536 *
1537 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1538 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1539 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1540 * based on the receive flags.
1541 *
1542 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1543 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1544 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1545 * keys.
1546 *
1547 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1548 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1549 * handler.
1550 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1551 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1552 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1553 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1554 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1555 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

1558/**
1559 * DOC: Powersave support
1560 *
1561 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1562 *
1563 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1564 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1565 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1566 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1567 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1568 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1569 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1570 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1571 *
1572 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1573 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1574 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1575 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1576 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
1577 *
1578 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1579 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1580 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1581 *
1582 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1583 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1584 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1585 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1586 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1587 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1588 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1589 *
1590 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1591 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1592 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1593 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1594 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1595 * periods.
1596 *
1597 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
1598 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1599 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1600 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1601 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1602 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1603 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1604 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1605 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1606 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1607 *
1608 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1609 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1610 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1611 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1612 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1613 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1614 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1615 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1616 *
1617 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1618 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1619 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1620 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1621 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1622 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1623 *
1624 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1625 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.

1627
1628/**
1629 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1630 *
1631 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1632 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
1633 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1634 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1635 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1636 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1637 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1638 *
1639 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
1640 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1641 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1642 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1643 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1644 *
1645 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1646 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1647 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1648 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1649 *
1650 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1651 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1652 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1653 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1654 * - a list of information element IDs
1655 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1656 *
1657 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1658 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1659 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1660 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1661 * vendor information elements.
1662 *
1663 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1664 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1665 *
1666 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1667 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1668 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1669 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1670 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1671 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1672 *
1673 *
1674 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1675 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1676 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1677 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1678 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1679 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1680 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1681 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1682 *
1683 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1684 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1685 * signal strength threshold checking.

1688/**
1689 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1690 *
1691 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1692 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1693 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1694 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1695 *
1696 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1697 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1698 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1699 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1700 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1701 * hardware flags.
1702 *
1703 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1704 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1705 * turned off otherwise.
1706 *
1707 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1708 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1709 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1710 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.

1712
1713/**
1714 * DOC: Frame filtering
1715 *
1716 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1717 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1718 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1719 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1720 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1721 *
1722 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1723 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1724 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1725 *
1726 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1727 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1728 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1729 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1730 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1731 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1732 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1733 *
1734 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1735 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1736 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1737 * or dropped.
1738 *
1739 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1740 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1741 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1742 * the flag, but not clear it.
1743 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1744 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1745 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1746 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1747 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1748 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1749 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1750 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1752
1753/**
1754 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
1755 *
1756 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
1757 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
1758 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
1759 *
1760 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
1761 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
1762 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
1763 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
1764 * the driver code.
1765 *
1766 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
1767 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
1768 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
1769 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
1770 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
1771 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
1772 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
1773 *
1774 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
1775 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
1776 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
1777 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
1778 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
1779 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
1780 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
1781 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
1782 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
1783 * @sta_notify callback.
1784 *
1785 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
1786 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
1787 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
1788 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
1789 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
1790 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
1791 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
1792 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
1793 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
1794 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
1795 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
1796 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
1797 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
1798 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
1799 *
1800 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
1801 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
1802 *
1803 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
1804 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
1805 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
1806 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
1807 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
1808 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
1809 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
1810 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
1811 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
1812 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
1813 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
1814 *
1815 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
1816 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
1817 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
1818 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
1819 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
1820 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
1821 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
1822 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
1823 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
1824 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
1825 * to help the @more_data paramter is passed to tell the driver if
1826 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
1827 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
1828 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
1829 *
1830 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
1831 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
1832 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
1833 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
1834 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
1835 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe()
1836 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
1837 *
1838 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
1839 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
1840 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
1841 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
1842 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() in this case.

1845/**
1846 * DOC: HW queue control
1847 *
1848 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
1849 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
1850 * was problematic for a few reasons:
1851 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
1852 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
1853 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
1854 *
1855 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
1856 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
1857 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
1858 *
1859 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
1860 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
1861 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
1862 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
1863 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
1864 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
1865 * the hardware queue.
1866 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
1867 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
1868 *
1869 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
1870 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
1871 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
1872 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
1873 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
1874 *
1875 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
1876 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
1877 * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
1878 * off-channel queue: 9
1879 *
1880 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
1881 * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
1882 *
1883 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
1884 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
1885 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
1886 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
1887 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
1888 * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
1889 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
1890 *
1891 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
1892 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
1893 *
1894 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
1895 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
1896 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
1897 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.

2005 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
2006 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
2007 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
2008 *
2009 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
2010 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
2011 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
2012 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
2013 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
2014 * Must be atomic.
2015 *
2016 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
2017 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
2018 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
2019 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
2020 * or zero.
2021 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
2022 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
2023 * is added.
2024 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2025 *
2026 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
2027 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
2028 * it must turn off frame reception.)
2029 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
2030 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
2031 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
2032 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2033 *
2034 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
2035 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
2036 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
2037 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
2038 * reconfigured at resume time.
2039 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
2040 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
2041 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
2042 * must return 1 from this function.
2043 *
2044 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
2045 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
2046 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
2047 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
2048 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
2049 *
2050 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
2051 * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
2052 * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
2053 * in suspend().
2054 *
2055 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
2056 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
2057 * and @stop must be implemented.
2058 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
2059 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
2060 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
2061 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
2062 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
2063 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2064 *
2065 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
2066 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
2067 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
2068 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
2069 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
2070 *
2071 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
2072 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
2073 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
2074 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
2075 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
2076 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
2077 * MAC address of the device going away.
2078 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
2079 *
2080 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
2081 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
2082 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
2083 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
2084 *
2085 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
2086 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
2087 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
2088 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
2089 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
2090 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
2091 * can sleep.
2092 *
2093 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
2094 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
2095 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
2096 *
2097 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
2098 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
2099 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
2100 *
2101 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
2102 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
2103 *
2104 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2105 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
2106 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
2107 * is enabled.
2108 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
2109 * The callback can sleep.
2110 *
2111 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2112 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
2113 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
2114 * The callback must be atomic.
2115 *
2116 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
2117 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
2118 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
2119 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
2120 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
2121 *
2122 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
2123 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
2124 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
2125 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
2126 * that power save is disabled.
2127 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
2128 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
2129 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
2130 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
2131 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
2132 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
2133 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
2134 * The callback can sleep.
2135 *
2136 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
2137 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
2138 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
2139 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
2140 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
2141 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
2142 * The callback can sleep.
2143 *
2144 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
2145 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
2146 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
2147 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
2148 *
2149 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
2150 *
2151 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
2152 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
2153 * The callback can sleep.
2154 *
2155 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
2156 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
2157 * this notification.
2158 * The callback can sleep.
2159 *
2160 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
2161 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
2162 * The callback can sleep.
2163 *
2164 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
2165 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
2166 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
2167 * The callback must be atomic.
2168 *
2169 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
2170 * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
2171 * implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
2172 * The callback can sleep.
2173 *
2174 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
2175 * The callback can sleep.
2176 *
2177 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
2178 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2179 *
2180 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
2181 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2182 *
2183 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
2184 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
2185 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
2186 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
2187 *
2188 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
2189 * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
2190 * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
2191 * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
2192 * up the list of states.
2193 * The callback can sleep.
2194 *
2195 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
2196 * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
2197 * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
2198 * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
2199 * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
2200 * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
2201 * Must be atomic.
2202 *
2203 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
2204 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
2205 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
2206 * The callback can sleep.
2207 *
2208 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
2209 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
2210 * required function.
2211 * The callback can sleep.
2212 *
2213 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
2214 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
2215 * required function.
2216 * The callback can sleep.
2217 *
2218 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
2219 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
2220 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
2221 * TSF synchronization.
2222 * The callback can sleep.
2223 *
2224 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
2225 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
2226 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
2227 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
2228 * The callback can sleep.
2229 *
2230 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
2231 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
2232 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
2233 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
2234 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
2235 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
2236 * The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
2237 * %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
2238 * buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
2239 * may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
2240 * nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
2241 * buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
2242 * possible with a buf_size of 8:
2243 * - TX: 1.....7
2244 * - RX: 2....7 (lost frame #1)
2245 * - TX: 8..1...
2246 * which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
2247 * buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
2248 * - TX: 1 or 18 or 81
2249 * Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
2250 *
2251 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
2252 * The callback can sleep.
2253 *
2254 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
2255 *
2256 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
2257 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
2258 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
2259 * The callback can sleep.
2260 *
2261 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
2262 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
2263 * accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
2264 *
2265 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
2266 * The callback can sleep.
2267 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
2268 *
2269 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
2270 * that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
2271 * to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
2272 *
2273 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
2274 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
2275 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
2276 * completion of the channel switch.
2277 *
2278 * @napi_poll: Poll Rx queue for incoming data frames.
2279 *
2280 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
2281 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
2282 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
2283 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
2284 *
2285 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
2286 *
2287 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
2288 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
2289 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
2290 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
2291 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
2292 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
2293 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
2294 * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
2295 * must be accepted in this case.
2296 * This callback may sleep.
2297 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
2298 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
2299 *
2300 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
2301 *
2302 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
2303 *
2304 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
2305 * queues before entering power save.
2306 *
2307 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
2308 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
2309 * The callback can sleep.
2310 * @rssi_callback: Notify driver when the average RSSI goes above/below
2311 * thresholds that were registered previously. The callback can sleep.
2312 *
2313 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
2314 * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
2315 * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
2316 * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
2317 * Note that if the @more_data paramter is %false the driver must check
2318 * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
2319 * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
2320 * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
2321 * more-data bit must always be set.
2322 * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
2323 * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
2324 * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
2325 * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
2326 * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2327 * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
2328 * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
2329 * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
2330 * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
2331 * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
2332 * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
2333 * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
2334 * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
2335 * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
2336 * ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
2337 * This callback must be atomic.
2338 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
2339 * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
2340 * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
2341 * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
2342 * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
2343 * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
2344 * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2345 * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
2346 * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
2347 * ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() function.
2348 * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
2349 * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
2350 * This callback must be atomic.
2351 *
2352 * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
2353 *
2354 * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
2355 *
2356 * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
2357 * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
2358 *
2359 * @get_rssi: Get current signal strength in dBm, the function is optional
2360 * and can sleep.
2361 *
2362 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
2363 * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
2364 * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
2365 * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
2366 * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
2367 * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
2368 * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
2369 * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
2370 * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
2371 * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
2372 * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
2373 * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
2374 *
2375 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
2376 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
2377 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
2378 * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
2379 * channel context with different settings
2380 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
2381 * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
2382 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
2383 * unbound from vif.
