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.

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-IRQ-safe functions!

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.

1049  *
1050  * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1051  * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1052  * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1053  * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1054  * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1055  * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1056  * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1057  *
1058  * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1059  * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1060  * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1061  *
1062  * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1063  * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1064  * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1065  * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1066  *
1067  * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1068  *
1069  * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1070  * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1071  * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1072  * based on the receive flags.
1073  *
1074  * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1075  * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1076  * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate

1082  * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1083  * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1084  * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1085  * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1086  * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this

1094  *
1095  * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by
1096  * itself, such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1097  * hardware flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired
1098  * powersave mode depending on the association status, and the driver
1099  * must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary, i.e. when
1100  * entering and leaving powersave mode. The driver is required to look at
1101  * the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when it finds
1102  * traffic directed to it. This mode supports dynamic PS by simply
1103  * enabling/disabling PS.
1104  *
1105  * Additionally, such hardware may set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS
1106  * flag to indicate that it can support dynamic PS mode itself (see below).
1107  *
1108  * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1109  * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1110  * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1111  * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1112  * required to pass up beacons. Additionally, in this case, mac80211 will
1113  * wake up the hardware when multicast traffic is announced in the beacon.
1114  *
1115  * FIXME: I don't think we can be fast enough in software when we want to
1116  *	  receive multicast traffic?
1117  *
1118  * Dynamic powersave mode is an extension to normal powersave mode in which
1119  * the hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending
1120  * a frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed
1121  * to the next wakeup. This can either be supported by hardware, in which case
1122  * the driver needs to look at the @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration
1123  * value, or by the stack if all nullfunc handling is in the stack.

1127  * DOC: Beacon filter support

1129  * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups

1149  * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1150  * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1151  * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1152  *
1153  * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1154  * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1155  * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1156  *
1157  * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
1158  * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
1159  * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
1160  * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
1161  *
1162  * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1163  * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1164  * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1165  * or dropped.
1166  *
1167  * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1168  * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1169  * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1170  * the flag, but not clear it.
1171  * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1172  * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1173  * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1174  * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1175  * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1176  * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,

1258  *	Must be implemented and atomic.
1259  *
1260  * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware

1262  *	frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1263  *	Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,

1265  *	When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1266  *	to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1267  *	is added.
1268  *	Must be implemented.

1270  * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1271  *	is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1272  *	it must turn off frame reception.)
1273  *	May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1274  *	an interface.
1275  *	Must be implemented.
1276  *
1277  * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is

1279  *	and @stop must be implemented.
1280  *	The driver should perform any initialization it needs before

1298  *	This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
1299  *	if it does.
1300  *
1301  * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
1302  *	(e.g. BSSID changes.)

1304  *
1305  * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1306  *	parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1307  *	level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1308  *	This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1309  *	for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1310  *	of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
1311  *

1316  * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1317  * 	must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
1318  *
1319  * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1320  *	This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1321  *	and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
1322  *	is enabled.
1323  *	Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
1324  *
1325  * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1326  * 	This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1327  * 	which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1328  *
1329  * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1330  *	the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1331  *	configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1332  *	registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
1333  *	that power save is disabled. When the scan finishes,
1334  *	ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called; note that it also must
1335  *	be called when the scan cannot finish because the hardware is
1336  *	turned off! Anything else is a bug! Returns a negative error code
1337  *	which will be seen in userspace.
1338  *
1339  * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1340  *	is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1341  *
1342  * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a software scan
1343  *	finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1344  *
1345  * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
1346  * 	Returns zero if statistics are available.
1347  *
1348  * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1349  *	callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1350  *	and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1351  *
1352  * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1353  *
1354  * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition, removal or power
1355  *	state transition of an associated station, AP,  IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.
1356  *	Must be atomic.
1357  *
1358  * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1359  *	bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
1360  *	Returns a negative error code on failure.
1361  *
1362  * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1363  *	to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1364  *	size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1365  *	(count). The 'stats' pointer points to an array that has hw->queues
1366  *	items.
1367  *
1368  * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1369  *	this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
1370  *	required function.
1371  *
1372  * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
1373  *      Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
1374  *	required function.
1375  *
1376  * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1377  *	with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1378  *	function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1379  *	TSF synchronization.
1380  *
1381  * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1382  *	This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1383  *	used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1384  *	Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
1385  *
1386  * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1387  * 	The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1388  * 	the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1389  * 	ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1390  * 	is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
1391  * 	that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
1392  *	Returns a negative error code on failure.
