The driver has to 19 * handle all the rest... 20 * 21 * The initial API also defines a specific handler in struct net_device 22 * to handle wireless statistics. 23 * 24 * The initial APIs served us well and has proven a reasonably good design. 25 * However, there is a few shortcommings : 26 * o No events, everything is a request to the driver. 27 * o Large ioctl function in driver with gigantic switch statement 28 * (i.e. spaghetti code). 29 * o Driver has to mess up with copy_to/from_user, and in many cases 30 * does it unproperly. Common mistakes are : 31 * * buffer overflows (no checks or off by one checks) 32 * * call copy_to/from_user with irq disabled 33 * o The user space interface is tied to ioctl because of the use 34 * copy_to/from_user. 35 * 36 * New driver API (2002 -> onward) : 37 * ------------------------------- 38 * The new driver API is just a bunch of standard functions (handlers), 39 * each handling a specific Wireless Extension. The driver just export 40 * the list of handler it supports, and those will be called apropriately. 41 * 42 * I tried to keep the main advantage of the previous API (simplicity, 43 * efficiency and light weight), and also I provide a good dose of backward 44 * compatibility (most structures are the same, driver can use both API 45 * simultaneously, ...). 46 * Hopefully, I've also addressed the shortcomming of the initial API. 47 * 48 * The advantage of the new API are : 49 * o Handling of Extensions in driver broken in small contained functions 50 * o Tighter checks of ioctl before calling the driver 51 * o Flexible commit strategy (at least, the start of it) 52 * o Backward compatibility (can be mixed with old API) 53 * o Driver doesn't have to worry about memory and user-space issues 54 * The last point is important for the following reasons : 55 * o You are now able to call the new driver API from any API you 56 * want (including from within other parts of the kernel). 57 * o Common mistakes are avoided (buffer overflow, user space copy 58 * with irq disabled and so on). 59 * 60 * The Drawback of the new API are : 61 * o bloat (especially kernel) 62 * o need to migrate existing drivers to new API 63 * My initial testing shows that the new API adds around 3kB to the kernel 64 * and save between 0 and 5kB from a typical driver. 65 * Also, as all structures and data types are unchanged, the migration is 66 * quite straightforward (but tedious). 67 * 68 * --- 69 * 70 * The new driver API is defined below in this file. User space should 71 * not be aware of what's happening down there... 72 * 73 * A new kernel wrapper is in charge of validating the IOCTLs and calling 74 * the appropriate driver handler. This is implemented in : 75 * # net/core/wireless.c 76 * 77 * The driver export the list of handlers in : 78 * # include/linux/netdevice.h (one place) 79 * 80 * The new driver API is available for WIRELESS_EXT >= 13. 81 * Good luck with migration to the new API ;-) 82 */ 83 84 /* ---------------------- THE IMPLEMENTATION ---------------------- */ 85 /* 86 * Some of the choice I've made are pretty controversials. Defining an 87 * API is very much weighting compromises. This goes into some of the 88 * details and the thinking behind the implementation. 89 * 90 * Implementation goals : 91 * -------------------- 92 * The implementation goals were as follow : 93 * o Obvious : you should not need a PhD to understand what's happening, 94 * the benefit is easier maintainance. 95 * o Flexible : it should accommodate a wide variety of driver 96 * implementations and be as flexible as the old API. 97 * o Lean : it should be efficient memory wise to minimise the impact 98 * on kernel footprint. 99 * o Transparent to user space : the large number of user space 100 * applications that use Wireless Extensions should not need 101 * any modifications. 102 * 103 * Array of functions versus Struct of functions 104 * --------------------------------------------- 105 * 1) Having an array of functions allow the kernel code to access the 106 * handler in a single lookup, which is much more efficient (think hash 107 * table here). 108 * 2) The only drawback is that driver writer may put their handler in 109 * the wrong slot. This is trivial to test (I set the frequency, the 110 * bitrate changes). Once the handler is in the proper slot, it will be 111 * there forever, because the array is only extended at the end. 112 * 3) Backward/forward compatibility : adding new handler just require 113 * extending the array, so you can put newer driver in older kernel 114 * without having to patch the kernel code (and vice versa). 115 * 116 * All handler are of the same generic type 117 * ---------------------------------------- 118 * That's a feature !!! 119 * 1) Having a generic handler allow to have generic code, which is more 120 * efficient. If each of the handler was individually typed I would need 121 * to add a big switch in the kernel (== more bloat). This solution is 122 * more scalable, adding new Wireless Extensions doesn't add new code. 123 * 2) You can use the same handler in different slots of the array. For 124 * hardware, it may be more efficient or logical to handle multiple 125 * Wireless Extensions with a single function, and the API allow you to 126 * do that. (An example would be a single record on the card to control 127 * both bitrate and frequency, the handler would read the old record, 128 * modify it according to info->cmd and rewrite it). 129 * 130 * Functions prototype uses union iwreq_data 131 * ----------------------------------------- 132 * Some would have prefered functions defined this way : 133 * static int mydriver_ioctl_setrate(struct net_device *dev, 134 * long rate, int auto) 135 * 1) The kernel code doesn't "validate" the content of iwreq_data, and 136 * can't do it (different hardware may have different notion of what a 137 * valid frequency is), so we don't pretend that we do it. 138 * 2) The above form is not extendable. If I want to add a flag (for 139 * example to distinguish setting max rate and basic rate), I would 140 * break the prototype. Using iwreq_data is more flexible. 141 * 3) Also, the above form is not generic (see above). 142 * 4) I don't expect driver developper using the wrong field of the 143 * union (Doh !), so static typechecking doesn't add much value. 144 * 5) Lastly, you can skip the union by doing : 145 * static int mydriver_ioctl_setrate(struct net_device *dev, 146 * struct iw_request_info *info, 147 * struct iw_param *rrq, 148 * char *extra) 149 * And then adding the handler in the array like this : 150 * (iw_handler) mydriver_ioctl_setrate, // SIOCSIWRATE 151 * 152 * Using functions and not a registry 153 * ---------------------------------- 154 * Another implementation option would have been for every instance to 155 * define a registry (a struct containing all the Wireless Extensions) 156 * and only have a function to commit the registry to the hardware. 157 * 1) This approach can be emulated by the current code, but not 158 * vice versa. 159 * 2) Some drivers don't keep any configuration in the driver, for them 160 * adding such a registry would be a significant bloat. 161 * 3) The code to translate from Wireless Extension to native format is 162 * needed anyway, so it would not reduce significantely the amount of code. 163 * 4) The current approach only selectively translate Wireless Extensions 164 * to native format and only selectively set, whereas the registry approach 165 * would require to translate all WE and set all parameters for any single 166 * change. 167 * 5) For many Wireless Extensions, the GET operation return the current 168 * dynamic value, not the value that was set. 169 * 170 * This header is <net/iw_handler.h> 171 * --------------------------------- 172 * 1) This header is kernel space only and should not be exported to 173 * user space. Headers in "include/linux/" are exported, headers in 174 * "include/net/" are not. 175 * 176 * Mixed 32/64 bit issues 177 * ---------------------- 178 * The Wireless Extensions are designed to be 64 bit clean, by using only 179 * datatypes with explicit storage size. 180 * There are some issues related to kernel and user space using different 181 * memory model, and in particular 64bit kernel with 32bit user space. 182 * The problem is related to struct iw_point, that contains a pointer 183 * that *may* need to be translated. 184 * This is quite messy. The new API doesn't solve this problem (it can't), 185 * but is a step in the right direction : 186 * 1) Meta data about each ioctl is easily available, so we know what type 187 * of translation is needed. 188 * 2) The move of data between kernel and user space is only done in a single 189 * place in the kernel, so adding specific hooks in there is possible. 190 * 3) In the long term, it allows to move away from using ioctl as the 191 * user space API. 192 * 193 * So many comments and so few code 194 * -------------------------------- 195 * That's a feature. Comments won't bloat the resulting kernel binary. 196 */ 197 198 /***************************** INCLUDES *****************************/ 199 200 #include <linux/wireless.h> /* IOCTL user space API */ 201 #include <linux/if_ether.h> 202 203 /***************************** VERSION *****************************/ 204 /* 205 * This constant is used to know which version of the driver API is 206 * available.
