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.

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!

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.

76  * DOC: mac80211 workqueue

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.

303  *
304  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
305  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
306  *	number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
307  *	number and increasing the sequence number only when the
308  *	IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
309  *	assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
310  *	for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
311  *	that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
312  *	If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
313  *	assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
314  *	802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
315  *	beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
316  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
317  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
318  *	station
319  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
320  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
321  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
322  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
323  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
324  *	because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
325  *	avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
326  *	firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
327  *	went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
328  *	the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
329  *	that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
330  *	since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
331  *	hardware queue.
332  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
333  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
334  * 	is for the whole aggregation.
335  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
336  * 	so consider using block ack request (BAR).
337  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
338  *	set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
339  *	be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
340  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
341  *	used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
342  *	it can be sent out.
343  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
344  *	used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
345  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
346  *	used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
347  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
348  *	frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
349  *	be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
350  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
351  *	transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
352  *	by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
353  *	queue gets full.
354  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
355  *	after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
356  *	be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
357  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
358  *	MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
359  *	status to user space)
360  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
361  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
362  *	frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
363  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
364  *	the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
365  *	in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
366  *	handled properly by the device.
367  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
368  *	testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
369  *	TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
370  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
371  *	This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
372  *	frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
373  * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
374  *	when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
375  *	an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
376  *	the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
377  *	PS-Poll responses.
378  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
379  *	This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
380  *	the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
381  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
382  *	would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
383  *	monitor injection).
384  *
385  * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
386  *	 forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

1409 /**
1410  * DOC: Powersave support
1411  *
1412  * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1413  *
1414  * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1415  * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1416  * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1417  * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1418  * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1419  * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1420  * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1421  * it finds traffic directed to it.
1422  *
1423  * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1424  * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1425  * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1426  * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1427  * back to sleep at appropriate times.
1428  *
1429  * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1430  * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1431  * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1432  *
1433  * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1434  * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1435  * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1436  * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1437  * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1438  * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1439  * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1440  *
1441  * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1442  * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1443  * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1444  * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1445  * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1446  * periods.
1447  *
1448  * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
1449  * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1450  * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1451  * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1452  * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1453  * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1454  * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1455  * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1456  * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1457  * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1458  *
1459  * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1460  * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1461  * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1462  * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1463  * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1464  * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1465  * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1466  * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1467  *
1468  * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1469  * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1470  * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1471  * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1472  * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1473  * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1474  *
1475  * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1476  * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.

1479 /**
1480  * DOC: Beacon filter support
1481  *
1482  * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1483  * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
1484  * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1485  * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1486  * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1487  * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1488  * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1489  *
1490  * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
1491  * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1492  * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1493  * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1494  * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1495  *
1496  * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1497  * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1498  * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1499  * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1500  *
1501  * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1502  * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1503  * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1504  * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1505  *  - a list of information element IDs
1506  *  - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1507  *
1508  * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1509  * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1510  * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1511  * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1512  * vendor information elements.
1513  *
1514  * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1515  * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1516  *
1517  * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1518  * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1519  * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1520  * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1521  * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1522  * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1523  *
1524  *
1525  * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1526  * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1527  * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1528  * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1529  * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1530  * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1531  * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1532  * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1533  *
1534  * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1535  * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1536  * signal strength threshold checking.

1564 /**
1565  * DOC: Frame filtering
1566  *
1567  * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1568  * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1569  * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1570  * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1571  * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1572  *
1573  * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1574  * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1575  * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1576  *
1577  * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1578  * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1579  * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1580  * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1581  * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1582  * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1583  * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1584  *
1585  * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1586  * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1587  * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1588  * or dropped.
1589  *
1590  * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1591  * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1592  * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1593  * the flag, but not clear it.
1594  * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1595  * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1596  * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1597  * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1598  * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1599  * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1600  * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1601  * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1603 
1604 /**
1605  * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
1606  *
1607  * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
1608  * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
1609  * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
1610  *
1611  * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
1612  * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
1613  * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
1614  * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
1615  * the driver code.
1616  *
1617  * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
1618  * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
1619  * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
1620  * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
1621  * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
1622  * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
1623  * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
1624  *
1625  * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
1626  * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
1627  * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
1628  * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
1629  * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
1630  * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
1631  * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
1632  * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
1633  * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
1634  * @sta_notify callback.
1635  *
1636  * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
1637  * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
1638  * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
1639  * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
1640  * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
1641  * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
1642  * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
1643  * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
1644  * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
1645  * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
1646  * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
1647  * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
1648  * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
1649  * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
1650  *
1651  * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
1652  * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
1653  *
1654  * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
1655  * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
1656  * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
1657  * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
1658  * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
1659  * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
1660  * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
1661  * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
1662  * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
1663  * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
1664  * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
1665  *
1666  * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
1667  * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
1668  * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
1669  * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
1670  * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
1671  * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
1672  * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
1673  * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
1674  * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
1675  * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
1676  * to help the @more_data paramter is passed to tell the driver if
1677  * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
1678  * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
1679  * buffers for those TIDs contain.
1680  *
1681  * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
1682  * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
1683  * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
1684  * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
1685  * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
1686  * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe()
1687  * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
1688  *
1689  * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
1690  * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
1691  * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
1692  * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
1693  * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() in this case.

1785  * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
1786  * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
1787  * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1788  *
1789  * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1790  *	skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1791  *	The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1792  *	configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1793  *	preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
1794  *	This must be implemented if @tx_frags is not.
1795  *	Must be atomic.
1796  *
1797  * @tx_frags: Called to transmit multiple fragments of a single MSDU.
1798  *	This handler must consume all fragments, sending out some of
1799  *	them only is useless and it can't ask for some of them to be
1800  *	queued again. If the frame is not fragmented the queue has a
1801  *	single SKB only. To avoid issues with the networking stack
1802  *	when TX status is reported the frames should be removed from
1803  *	the skb queue.
1804  *	If this is used, the tx_info @vif and @sta pointers will be
1805  *	invalid -- you must not use them in that case.
1806  *	This must be implemented if @tx isn't.
1807  *	Must be atomic.
1808  *
1809  * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1810  *	is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1811  *	frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1812  *	Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1813  *	or zero.
1814  *	When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1815  *	to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1816  *	is added.
1817  *	Must be implemented and can sleep.
1818  *
1819  * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1820  *	is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1821  *	it must turn off frame reception.)
1822  *	May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1823  *	an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1824  *	you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
1825  *	Must be implemented and can sleep.
1826  *
1827  * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
1828  *	stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
1829  *	ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
1830  *	configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
1831  *	reconfigured at resume time.
1832  *	The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
1833  *	wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
1834  *	supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
1835  *	must return 1 from this function.
1836  *
1837  * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
1838  *	now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
1839  *	functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
1840  *	to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
1841  *	will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
1842  *
1843  * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1844  *	enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
1845  *	and @stop must be implemented.
1846  *	The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1847  *	the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1848  *	interface is given in the conf parameter.
1849  *	The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1850  *	negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1851  *	Must be implemented and can sleep.
1852  *
1853  * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
1854  *	is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
1855  *	switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
1856  *	Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
1857  *	found by the interface iteration callbacks.
1858  *
1859  * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1860  *	The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1861  *	and no monitor interfaces are present.
1862  *	When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1863  *	must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1864  *	the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1865  *	MAC address of the device going away.
1866  *	Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
1867  *
1868  * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1869  *	function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1870  *	This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
1871  *	if it does. The callback can sleep.
1872  *
1873  * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1874  *	parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1875  *	level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1876  *	This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1877  *	for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1878  *	of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1879  *	can sleep.
1880  *
1881  * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
1882  *	This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
1883  *	to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
1884  *
1885  * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1886  *	See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1887  *	This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
1888  *
1889  * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1890  * 	must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
1891  *
1892  * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1893  *	This callback is only called between add_interface and
1894  *	remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
1895  *	is enabled.
1896  *	Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
1897  *	The callback can sleep.
1898  *
1899  * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1900  * 	This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1901  * 	which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1902  *	The callback must be atomic.
1903  *
1904  * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
1905  *	host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
1906  *	necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
1907  *	After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
1908  *	userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
1909  *
1910  * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1911  *	the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1912  *	configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1913  *	registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
1914  *	that power save is disabled.
1915  *	The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1916  *	entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1917  *	at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1918  *	(extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1919  *	When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1920  *	note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1921  *	any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
1922  *	The callback can sleep.
1923  *
1924  * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
1925  *	The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
1926  *	but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
1927  *	ieee80211_scan_completed().
1928  *	This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
1929  *	scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
1930  *	The callback can sleep.
1931  *
1932  * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
1933  *	specific intervals.  The driver must call the
1934  *	ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
1935  *	This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
1936  *
1937  * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
1938  *
1939  * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1940  *	is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1941  *	The callback can sleep.
1942  *
1943  * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
1944  *	software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
1945  *	this notification.
1946  *	The callback can sleep.
1947  *
1948  * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
1949  * 	Returns zero if statistics are available.
1950  *	The callback can sleep.
1951  *
1952  * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1953  *	callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1954  *	and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1955  *	The callback must be atomic.
1956  *
1957  * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
1958  *	if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
1959  *	implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
1960  *	The callback can sleep.
1961  *
1962  * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1963  *	The callback can sleep.
1964  *
1965  * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
1966  *	AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1967  *
1968  * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
1969  *	station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1970  *
1971  * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
1972  *	associated station, AP,  IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
1973  *	in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
1974  *	%IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
1975  *
1976  * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
1977  *	station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
1978  *	This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
1979  *	It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
1980  *	up the list of states.
1981  *	The callback can sleep.
1982  *
1983  * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1984  *	bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
1985  *	Returns a negative error code on failure.
1986  *	The callback can sleep.
1987  *
1988  * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1989  *	this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
1990  *	required function.
1991  *	The callback can sleep.
1992  *
1993  * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
1994  *      Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
1995  *	required function.
1996  *	The callback can sleep.
1997  *
1998  * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1999  *	with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
2000  *	function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
2001  *	TSF synchronization.
2002  *	The callback can sleep.
2003  *
2004  * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
2005  *	This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
2006  *	used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
2007  *	Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
2008  *	The callback can sleep.
2009  *
2010  * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
2011  * 	The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
2012  * 	the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
2013  * 	ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
2014  * 	is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
2015  * 	that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
2016  *	The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
2017  *	%IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
2018  *	buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
2019  *	may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
2020  *	nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
2021  *	buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
2022  *	possible with a buf_size of 8:
2023  *	 - TX: 1.....7
2024  *	 - RX:  2....7 (lost frame #1)
2025  *	 - TX:        8..1...
2026  *	which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
2027  *	buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
2028  *	 - TX:       1 or 18 or 81
2029  *	Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
2030  *
2031  *	Returns a negative error code on failure.
2032  *	The callback can sleep.
2033  *
2034  * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
2035  *
2036  * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
2037  *	need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
2038  *	and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
2039  *	The callback can sleep.
2040  *
2041  * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
2042  *	in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
2043  *	accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
2044  *
2045  * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
2046  *	The callback can sleep.
2047  * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
2048  *
2049  * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
2050  *	that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
2051  *	to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
2052  *
2053  * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
2054  *	switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
2055  *	callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
2056  *	completion of the channel switch.
2057  *
2058  * @napi_poll: Poll Rx queue for incoming data frames.
2059  *
2060  * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
2061  *	Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
2062  *	reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
2063  *	(also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
2064  *
2065  * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
2066  *
2067  * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
2068  *	call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
2069  *	that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
2070  *	offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
2071  *	normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
2072  *	duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
2073  *	ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired(). This callback may sleep.
2074  * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
2075  *	aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
2076  *
2077  * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
2078  *
2079  * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
2080  *
2081  * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
2082  *	queues before entering power save.
2083  *
2084  * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
2085  *	when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
2086  *	The callback can sleep.
2087  * @rssi_callback: Notify driver when the average RSSI goes above/below
2088  *	thresholds that were registered previously. The callback can sleep.
2089  *
2090  * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
2091  *	parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
2092  *	sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
2093  *	to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
2094  *	Note that if the @more_data paramter is %false the driver must check
2095  *	if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
2096  *	the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
2097  *	the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
2098  *	more-data bit must always be set.
2099  *	The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
2100  *	from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
2101  *	In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
2102  *	@num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
2103  *	this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2104  *	on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
2105  *	period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
2106  *	responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
2107  *	In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
2108  *	bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
2109  *	at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
2110  *	setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
2111  *	service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
2112  *	on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
2113  *	ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
2114  *	This callback must be atomic.
2115  * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
2116  *	to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
2117  *	via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
2118  *	released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
2119  *	and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
2120  *	frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
2121  *	them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2122  *	on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
2123  *	bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
2124  *	ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() function.
2125  *	The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
2126  *	frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
2127  *	This callback must be atomic.
