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
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-irqsafe functions!
46 */

48/**
49 * DOC: Warning
50 *
51 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will

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.

784 * be used only for transmission.
785 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
786 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
787 *
788 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,

814 * DOC: Frame filtering
815 *
816 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
817 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
818 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
819 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
820 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
821 *
822 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
823 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
824 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
825 *
826 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
827 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
828 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
829 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
830 *
831 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
832 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
833 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
834 * or dropped.
835 *
836 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
837 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
838 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
839 * the flag, but not clear it.
840 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
841 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
842 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
843 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
844 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
845 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
846 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
847 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

920 *	configuration in the TX control data. Must be implemented and

924 *	is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
925 *	frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
926 *	Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,

928 *	When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
929 *	to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
930 *	is added.
931 *	Must be implemented.
932 *
933 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
934 *	is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
935 *	it must turn off frame reception.)
936 *	May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
937 *	an interface.
938 *	Must be implemented.
939 *
940 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
941 *	enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
942 *	and @stop must be implemented.
943 *	The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
944 *	the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
945 *	interface is given in the conf parameter.
946 *	The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
947 *	negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
948 *	Must be implemented.

952 *	and no monitor interfaces are present.
953 *	When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware

955 *	the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
956 *	MAC address of the device going away.
957 *	Hence, this callback must be implemented.

962 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
963 *	(e.g. BSSID changes.)

965 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
966 *	parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
967 *	level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
968 *	This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
969 *	for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
970 *	of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. This callback
971 *	has to be atomic.
972 *
973 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
974 *	See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
975 *	This callback must be implemented and atomic.
976 *
977 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
978 *	generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
979 *	mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
980 *	for a given AID. Must be atomic.
981 *
982 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
983 *	This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
984 *	and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
985 *	given local_address is enabled.
986 *
987 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
988 *	the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
989 *	configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's registered
990 *	bands.
991 *
992 * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
993 *
994 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
995 *	callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
996 *	and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
997 *
998 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
999 *
1000 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
1001 *	the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
1002 *	the stack will not do fragmentation.
1003 *
1004 * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
1005 *
1006 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
1007 *	of assocaited station or AP.
1008 *
1009 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1010 *	bursting) for a hardware TX queue. The @queue parameter uses the
1011 *	%IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_* constants. Must be atomic.
1012 *
1013 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1014 *	to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1015 *	size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1016 *	(count). This information is used for WMM to find out which TX
1017 *	queues have room for more packets and by hostapd to provide
1018 *	statistics about the current queueing state to external programs.
1019 *
1020 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1021 *	this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
1022 *	required function. Must be atomic.
1023 *
1024 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1025 *	with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1026 *	function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1027 *	TSF synchronization.
1028 *
1029 * @beacon_update: Setup beacon data for IBSS beacons. Unlike access point,
1030 *	IBSS uses a fixed beacon frame which is configured using this
1031 *	function.
1032 *	If the driver returns success (0) from this callback, it owns
1033 *	the skb. That means the driver is responsible to kfree_skb() it.
1034 *	The control structure is not dynamically allocated. That means the
1035 *	driver does not own the pointer and if it needs it somewhere
1036 *	outside of the context of this function, it must copy it
1037 *	somewhere else.
1038 *	This handler is required only for IBSS mode.
1039 *
1040 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1041 *	This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1042 *	used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1043 *
1044 * @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
1045 *
1046 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1047 * 	The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1048 * 	the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1049 * 	ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1050 * 	is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. notice
1051 * 	that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
