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 function.

51/**
52 * DOC: Frame format
53 *
54 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
55 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
56 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
57 * hardware.
58 *
59 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
60 *
61 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
62 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
63 *
64 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
65 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
66 *
67 * Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
68 * filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
69 * not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.

984/**
985 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
986 *
987 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
988 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
989 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
990 *
991 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
992 *	skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
993 *	The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
994 *	configuration in the TX control data. Must be implemented and
995 *	atomic.
996 *
997 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
998 *	is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
999 *	frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1000 *	Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1001 *	or zero.
1002 *	When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1003 *	to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1004 *	is added.
1005 *	Must be implemented.
1006 *
1007 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1008 *	is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1009 *	it must turn off frame reception.)
1010 *	May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1011 *	an interface.
1012 *	Must be implemented.
1013 *
1014 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1015 *	enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
1016 *	and @stop must be implemented.
1017 *	The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1018 *	the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1019 *	interface is given in the conf parameter.
1020 *	The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1021 *	negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1022 *	Must be implemented.
1023 *
1024 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1025 *	The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1026 *	and no monitor interfaces are present.
1027 *	When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1028 *	must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1029 *	the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1030 *	MAC address of the device going away.
1031 *	Hence, this callback must be implemented.
1032 *
1033 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1034 *	function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1035 *
1036 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
1037 *	(e.g. BSSID changes.)
1038 *
1039 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1040 *	parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1041 *	level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1042 *	This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1043 *	for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1044 *	of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. This callback
1045 *	has to be atomic.
1046 *
1047 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1048 *	See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1049 *	This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1050 *
1051 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
1052 *	generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
1053 *	mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
1054 *	for a given AID. Must be atomic.
1055 *
1056 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1057 *	This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1058 *	and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
1059 *	given local_address is enabled.
1060 *
1061 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1062 *	the scan state machine in stack.
1063 *
1064 * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
1065 *
1066 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1067 *	callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1068 *	and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1069 *
1070 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1071 *
1072 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
1073 *	the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
1074 *	the stack will not do fragmentation.
1075 *
1076 * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
1077 *
1078 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
1079 *	of assocaited station or AP.
1080 *
1081 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1082 *	bursting) for a hardware TX queue. The @queue parameter uses the
1083 *	%IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_* constants. Must be atomic.
1084 *
1085 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1086 *	to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1087 *	size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1088 *	(count). This information is used for WMM to find out which TX
1089 *	queues have room for more packets and by hostapd to provide
1090 *	statistics about the current queueing state to external programs.
1091 *
1092 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1093 *	this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
1094 *	required function. Must be atomic.
1095 *
1096 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1097 *	with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1098 *	function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1099 *	TSF synchronization.
1100 *
1101 * @beacon_update: Setup beacon data for IBSS beacons. Unlike access point,
1102 *	IBSS uses a fixed beacon frame which is configured using this
1103 *	function.
1104 *	If the driver returns success (0) from this callback, it owns
1105 *	the skb. That means the driver is responsible to kfree_skb() it.
1106 *	The control structure is not dynamically allocated. That means the
1107 *	driver does not own the pointer and if it needs it somewhere
1108 *	outside of the context of this function, it must copy it
1109 *	somewhere else.
1110 *	This handler is required only for IBSS mode.
1111 *
1112 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1113 *	This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1114 *	used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1115 *
1116 * @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
1117 *
1118 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1119 * 	The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1120 * 	the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1121 * 	ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1122 * 	is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. notice
1123 * 	that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
