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.

34 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
35 *
36 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
Jiri Bencf0706e82007-05-05 11:45:53 -070037 * 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
Johannes Berg2485f712008-02-25 16:27:41 +010040 * 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
Randy Dunlap6ef307b2008-07-03 13:52:18 -070044 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -040057 * 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.

79 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001235 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1236 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1237 *
1238 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1239 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
Johannes Bergdc822b52008-12-29 12:55:09 +01001240 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1241 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1242 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001243 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1244 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1245 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001246 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1247 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1248 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1249 *
1250 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1251 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1252 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1253 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1254 *
1255 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1256 *
1257 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1258 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1259 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1260 * based on the receive flags.
1261 *
1262 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1263 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1264 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1265 * keys.
Emmanuel Grumbach9ae4fda2008-03-20 15:06:42 +02001266 *
1267 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1268 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1269 * handler.
1270 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1271 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1272 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1273 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is

1280 *
1281 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1282 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001283 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1284 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1285 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1286 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1287 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1288 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1289 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1290 * it finds traffic directed to it.
Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001291 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001292 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1293 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1294 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
Bob Copeland2738bd62010-08-21 16:39:01 -04001295 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1296 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001297 *
1298 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1299 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1300 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001301 *
1302 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1303 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1304 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1305 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
Johannes Berg955394c2009-04-16 17:04:25 +02001306 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1307 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001308 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001309 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001310 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1311 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1312 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1313 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1314 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1315 * periods.
1316 *
Bob Copeland2738bd62010-08-21 16:39:01 -04001317 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001318 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1319 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1320 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1321 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1322 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1323 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1324 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1325 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1326 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1327 *
Juuso Oikarinenf90754c2010-06-21 08:59:39 +03001328 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1329 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1330 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1331 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1332 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1333 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1334 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1335 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1336 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001337 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1338 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1339 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1340 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1341 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1342 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1343 *
1344 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1345 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.

1348/**
Kalle Valo04de8382009-03-22 21:57:35 +02001349 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1350 *
1351 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1352 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1353 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1354 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1355 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1356 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1357 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1358 *
Johannes Berg955394c2009-04-16 17:04:25 +02001359 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1360 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1361 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1362 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1363 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1364 *
1365 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1366 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1367 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1368 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1369 *
1370 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1371 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1372 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1373 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1374 * - a list of information element IDs
1375 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1376 *
1377 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1378 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1379 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1380 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1381 * vendor information elements.
1382 *
1383 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1384 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1385 *
1386 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1387 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1388 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1389 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1390 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1391 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1392 *
1393 *
1394 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1395 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1396 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1397 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1398 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1399 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1400 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1401 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1402 *
1403 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to

Johannes Berg0f782312009-12-01 13:37:02 +01001409 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1410 *
1411 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1412 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1413 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1414 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1415 *
1416 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1417 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1418 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1419 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1420 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1421 * hardware flags.
1422 *
1423 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1424 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1425 * turned off otherwise.
1426 *
1427 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1428 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1429 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1430 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001434 * DOC: Frame filtering
1435 *
1436 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1437 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1438 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1439 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1440 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1441 *
1442 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1443 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1444 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1445 *
Johannes Berg3ac64be2009-08-17 16:16:53 +02001446 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1447 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1448 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1449 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1450 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1451 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1452 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001453 *
1454 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1455 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1456 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1457 * or dropped.
1458 *
Michael Bueschd0f5afb2008-02-12 20:12:45 +01001459 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1460 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1461 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1462 * the flag, but not clear it.
1463 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1464 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1465 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1466 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1467 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1468 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1469 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1470 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1553 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1554 *
1555 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1556 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1557 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
Johannes Bergeefce912008-05-17 00:57:13 +02001558 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1559 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1560 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
Bob Copeland6dd1bf32009-01-08 21:00:34 -05001561 * This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
1562 * limited cases.
Johannes Bergeefce912008-05-17 00:57:13 +02001563 * Must be implemented and atomic.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001564 *
1565 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1566 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1567 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1568 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1569 * or zero.
1570 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1571 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1572 * is added.
Kalle Valoe1781ed2009-12-23 13:15:47 +01001573 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001574 *
1575 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1576 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1577 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1578 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
Luis R. Rodriguez42935ec2009-07-29 20:08:07 -04001579 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1580 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001582 *
1583 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
Bob Copelande37d4df2008-10-20 21:20:27 -04001584 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001585 * and @stop must be implemented.
1586 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1587 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1588 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1589 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1590 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
Kalle Valoe1781ed2009-12-23 13:15:47 +01001591 * Must be implemented and can sleep.

Johannes Berg34d4bc42010-08-27 12:35:58 +02001593 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
1594 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
1595 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
1596 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
1597 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
1598 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001599 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1600 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1601 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1602 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1603 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1604 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1605 * MAC address of the device going away.

1614 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1615 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1616 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1617 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
Kalle Valoe1781ed2009-12-23 13:15:47 +01001618 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1619 * can sleep.
