25/**
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 *

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.

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

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

1005/**
1006 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
1007 *
1008 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
1009 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
1010 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1011 *
1012 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1013 *	skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1014 *	The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1015 *	configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1016 *	preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1017 *	importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
1018 *	Must be implemented and atomic.
1019 *
1020 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1021 *	is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1022 *	frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1023 *	Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1024 *	or zero.
1025 *	When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1026 *	to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1027 *	is added.
1028 *	Must be implemented.
1029 *
1030 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1031 *	is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1032 *	it must turn off frame reception.)
1033 *	May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1034 *	an interface.
1035 *	Must be implemented.
1036 *
1037 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1038 *	enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
1039 *	and @stop must be implemented.
1040 *	The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1041 *	the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1042 *	interface is given in the conf parameter.
1043 *	The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1044 *	negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1045 *	Must be implemented.
1046 *
1047 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1048 *	The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1049 *	and no monitor interfaces are present.
1050 *	When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1051 *	must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1052 *	the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1053 *	MAC address of the device going away.
1054 *	Hence, this callback must be implemented.
1055 *
1056 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1057 *	function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1058 *
1059 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
1060 *	(e.g. BSSID changes.)
1061 *
1062 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1063 *	parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1064 *	level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1065 *	This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1066 *	for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1067 *	of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
1068 *
1069 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1070 *	See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1071 *	This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1072 *
1073 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
1074 *	generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
1075 *	mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
1076 *	for a given AID. Must be atomic.
1077 *
1078 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1079 *	This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1080 *	and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
1081 *	given local_address is enabled.
1082 *
1083 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1084 * 	This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1085 * 	which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1086 *
1087 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1088 *	the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1089 *	configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's registered
1090 *	bands.
1091 *
1092 * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
1093 *
1094 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1095 *	callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1096 *	and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1097 *
1098 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1099 *
1100 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
1101 *	the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
1102 *	the stack will not do fragmentation.
1103 *
1104 * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
1105 *
1106 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
1107 *	of assocaited station or AP.
1108 *
1109 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1110 *	bursting) for a hardware TX queue. Must be atomic.
1111 *
1112 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1113 *	to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1114 *	size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1115 *	(count). The 'stats' pointer points to an array that has hw->queues +
1116 *	hw->ampdu_queues items.
1117 *
1118 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1119 *	this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
1120 *	required function. Must be atomic.
1121 *
1122 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1123 *	with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1124 *	function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1125 *	TSF synchronization.
1126 *
1127 * @beacon_update: Setup beacon data for IBSS beacons. Unlike access point,
1128 *	IBSS uses a fixed beacon frame which is configured using this
1129 *	function.
1130 *	If the driver returns success (0) from this callback, it owns
1131 *	the skb. That means the driver is responsible to kfree_skb() it.
1132 *	The control structure is not dynamically allocated. That means the
1133 *	driver does not own the pointer and if it needs it somewhere
1134 *	outside of the context of this function, it must copy it
1135 *	somewhere else.
1136 *	This handler is required only for IBSS mode.
1137 *
1138 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1139 *	This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1140 *	used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1141 *
1142 * @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
1143 *
1144 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1145 * 	The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1146 * 	the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1147 * 	ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1148 * 	is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. notice
1149 * 	that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
