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

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.

1200 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1201 *
1202 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1203 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
Johannes Bergdc822b52008-12-29 12:55:09 +01001204 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1205 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1206 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001207 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1208 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1209 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001210 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1211 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1212 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1213 *
1214 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1215 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1216 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1217 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1218 *
1219 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1220 *
1221 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1222 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1223 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1224 * based on the receive flags.
1225 *
1226 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1227 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1228 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate

1234 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.

Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001243 * DOC: Powersave support
1244 *
1245 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1246 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001247 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1248 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1249 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1250 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1251 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1252 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1253 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1254 * it finds traffic directed to it.
Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001255 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001256 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1257 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1258 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1259 * up the hardware before issueing commands to the hardware and putting it
1260 * back to sleep at approriate times.
1261 *
1262 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1263 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1264 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001265 *
1266 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1267 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1268 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1269 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
Johannes Berg955394c2009-04-16 17:04:25 +02001270 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1271 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001272 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001273 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001274 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1275 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1276 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1277 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1278 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1279 * periods.
1280 *
1281 * Dynamic powersave is supported by simply mac80211 enabling and disabling
1282 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1283 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1284 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1285 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1286 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1287 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1288 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1289 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1290 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1291 *
Juuso Oikarinenf90754c2010-06-21 08:59:39 +03001292 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1293 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1294 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1295 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1296 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1297 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1298 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1299 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1300 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001301 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1302 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1303 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1304 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1305 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1306 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1307 *
1308 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1309 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.

Kalle Valo04de8382009-03-22 21:57:35 +02001313 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1314 *
1315 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1316 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1317 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1318 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1319 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1320 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1321 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1322 *
Johannes Berg955394c2009-04-16 17:04:25 +02001323 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1324 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1325 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1326 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1327 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1328 *
1329 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1330 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1331 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1332 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1333 *
1334 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1335 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1336 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1337 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1338 * - a list of information element IDs
1339 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1340 *
1341 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1342 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1343 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1344 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1345 * vendor information elements.
1346 *
1347 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1348 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1349 *
1350 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1351 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1352 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1353 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1354 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1355 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1356 *
1357 *
1358 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1359 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1360 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1361 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1362 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1363 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1364 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1365 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1366 *
1367 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1368 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1369 * signal strength threshold checking.

1380 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1381 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct

1390 *
1391 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate

1399 *
1400 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1401 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1402 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1403 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1404 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1405 *
1406 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1407 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1408 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1409 *
Johannes Berg3ac64be2009-08-17 16:16:53 +02001410 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1411 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1412 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1413 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1414 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1415 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1416 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001417 *
1418 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1419 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1420 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1421 * or dropped.
1422 *
Michael Bueschd0f5afb2008-02-12 20:12:45 +01001423 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1424 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1425 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1426 * the flag, but not clear it.
1427 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1428 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1429 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1430 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1431 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1432 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1433 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1434 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1445 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
1446 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
1447 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
1448 *
1449 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
1450 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
1451 * multicast address.
1452 *
1453 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
1454 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
1455 *
1456 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
1457 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them

1459 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
1460 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
1461 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing

1510 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
1511 *
1512 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
1513 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
1514 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1515 *
1516 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1517 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1518 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
Johannes Bergeefce912008-05-17 00:57:13 +02001519 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1520 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1521 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
Bob Copeland6dd1bf32009-01-08 21:00:34 -05001522 * This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
1523 * limited cases.
Johannes Bergeefce912008-05-17 00:57:13 +02001524 * Must be implemented and atomic.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001525 *
1526 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1527 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1528 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1529 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1530 * or zero.
1531 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1532 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1533 * is added.
Kalle Valoe1781ed2009-12-23 13:15:47 +01001534 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001535 *
1536 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1537 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1538 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1539 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
Luis R. Rodriguez42935ec2009-07-29 20:08:07 -04001540 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1541 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
Kalle Valoe1781ed2009-12-23 13:15:47 +01001542 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001543 *
1544 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
Bob Copelande37d4df2008-10-20 21:20:27 -04001545 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001546 * and @stop must be implemented.
1547 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1548 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1549 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1550 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1551 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
Kalle Valoe1781ed2009-12-23 13:15:47 +01001552 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001553 *
1554 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1555 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1556 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1557 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1558 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1559 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1560 * MAC address of the device going away.
Kalle Valoe1781ed2009-12-23 13:15:47 +01001561 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001562 *
1563 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1564 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
Bob Copeland6dd1bf32009-01-08 21:00:34 -05001565 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
Kalle Valoe1781ed2009-12-23 13:15:47 +01001566 * if it does. The callback can sleep.

1569 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1570 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1571 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1572 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
Kalle Valoe1781ed2009-12-23 13:15:47 +01001573 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1574 * can sleep.

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001599 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
Johannes Berg8318d782008-01-24 19:38:38 +01001600 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
Kalle Valo9050bdd2009-03-22 21:57:21 +02001601 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1602 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
Johannes Bergde95a542009-04-01 11:58:36 +02001603 * that power save is disabled.
1604 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1605 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1606 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1607 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1608 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1609 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
