/************************** DOCUMENTATION **************************/
/*
 * Initial driver API (1996 -> onward) :
 * -----------------------------------
 * The initial API just sends the IOCTL request received from user space
 * to the driver (via the driver ioctl handler). The driver has to
 * handle all the rest...
 *
 * The initial API also defines a specific handler in struct net_device
 * to handle wireless statistics.
 *
 * The initial APIs served us well and has proven a reasonably good design.
 * However, there is a few shortcommings :
 *	o No events, everything is a request to the driver.
 *	o Large ioctl function in driver with gigantic switch statement
 *	  (i.e. spaghetti code).
 *	o Driver has to mess up with copy_to/from_user, and in many cases
 *	  does it unproperly. Common mistakes are :
 *		* buffer overflows (no checks or off by one checks)
 *		* call copy_to/from_user with irq disabled
 *	o The user space interface is tied to ioctl because of the use
 *	  copy_to/from_user.
 *
 * New driver API (2002 -> onward) :
 * -------------------------------
 * The new driver API is just a bunch of standard functions (handlers),
 * each handling a specific Wireless Extension. The driver just export
 * the list of handler it supports, and those will be called apropriately.
 *
 * I tried to keep the main advantage of the previous API (simplicity,
 * efficiency and light weight), and also I provide a good dose of backward
 * compatibility (most structures are the same, driver can use both API
 * simultaneously, ...).
 * Hopefully, I've also addressed the shortcomming of the initial API.
 *
 * The advantage of the new API are :
 *	o Handling of Extensions in driver broken in small contained functions
 *	o Tighter checks of ioctl before calling the driver
 *	o Flexible commit strategy (at least, the start of it)
 *	o Backward compatibility (can be mixed with old API)
 *	o Driver doesn't have to worry about memory and user-space issues
 * The last point is important for the following reasons :
 *	o You are now able to call the new driver API from any API you
 *		want (including from within other parts of the kernel).
 *	o Common mistakes are avoided (buffer overflow, user space copy
 *		with irq disabled and so on).
 *
 * The Drawback of the new API are :
 *	o bloat (especially kernel)
 *	o need to migrate existing drivers to new API
 * My initial testing shows that the new API adds around 3kB to the kernel
 * and save between 0 and 5kB from a typical driver.
 * Also, as all structures and data types are unchanged, the migration is
 * quite straightforward (but tedious).
 *
 * ---
 *
 * The new driver API is defined below in this file. User space should
 * not be aware of what's happening down there...
 *
 * A new kernel wrapper is in charge of validating the IOCTLs and calling
 * the appropriate driver handler. This is implemented in :
 *	# net/core/wireless.c
 *
 * The driver export the list of handlers in :
 *	# include/linux/netdevice.h (one place)
 *
 * The new driver API is available for WIRELESS_EXT >= 13.
 * Good luck with migration to the new API ;-)
 */

/* ---------------------- THE IMPLEMENTATION ---------------------- */
/*
 * Some of the choice I've made are pretty controversials. Defining an
 * API is very much weighting compromises. This goes into some of the
 * details and the thinking behind the implementation.
 *
 * Implementation goals :
 * --------------------
 * The implementation goals were as follow :
 *	o Obvious : you should not need a PhD to understand what's happening,
 *		the benefit is easier maintenance.
 *	o Flexible : it should accommodate a wide variety of driver
 *		implementations and be as flexible as the old API.
 *	o Lean : it should be efficient memory wise to minimise the impact
 *		on kernel footprint.
 *	o Transparent to user space : the large number of user space
 *		applications that use Wireless Extensions should not need
 *		any modifications.
 *
 * Array of functions versus Struct of functions
 * ---------------------------------------------
 * 1) Having an array of functions allow the kernel code to access the
 * handler in a single lookup, which is much more efficient (think hash
 * table here).
 * 2) The only drawback is that driver writer may put their handler in
 * the wrong slot. This is trivial to test (I set the frequency, the
 * bitrate changes). Once the handler is in the proper slot, it will be
 * there forever, because the array is only extended at the end.
 * 3) Backward/forward compatibility : adding new handler just require
 * extending the array, so you can put newer driver in older kernel
 * without having to patch the kernel code (and vice versa).
 *
 * All handler are of the same generic type
 * ----------------------------------------
 * That's a feature !!!
 * 1) Having a generic handler allow to have generic code, which is more
 * efficient. If each of the handler was individually typed I would need
 * to add a big switch in the kernel (== more bloat). This solution is
 * more scalable, adding new Wireless Extensions doesn't add new code.
 * 2) You can use the same handler in different slots of the array. For
 * hardware, it may be more efficient or logical to handle multiple
 * Wireless Extensions with a single function, and the API allow you to
 * do that. (An example would be a single record on the card to control
 * both bitrate and frequency, the handler would read the old record,
 * modify it according to info->cmd and rewrite it).
 *
 * Functions prototype uses union iwreq_data
 * -----------------------------------------
 * Some would have preferred functions defined this way :
 *	static int mydriver_ioctl_setrate(struct net_device *dev, 
 *					  long rate, int auto)
 * 1) The kernel code doesn't "validate" the content of iwreq_data, and
 * can't do it (different hardware may have different notion of what a
 * valid frequency is), so we don't pretend that we do it.
 * 2) The above form is not extendable. If I want to add a flag (for
 * example to distinguish setting max rate and basic rate), I would
 * break the prototype. Using iwreq_data is more flexible.
 * 3) Also, the above form is not generic (see above).
 * 4) I don't expect driver developper using the wrong field of the
 * union (Doh !), so static typechecking doesn't add much value.
 * 5) Lastly, you can skip the union by doing :
 *	static int mydriver_ioctl_setrate(struct net_device *dev,
 *					  struct iw_request_info *info,
 *					  struct iw_param *rrq,
 *					  char *extra)
 * And then adding the handler in the array like this :
 *        (iw_handler) mydriver_ioctl_setrate,             // SIOCSIWRATE
 *
 * Using functions and not a registry
 * ----------------------------------
 * Another implementation option would have been for every instance to
 * define a registry (a struct containing all the Wireless Extensions)
 * and only have a function to commit the registry to the hardware.
 * 1) This approach can be emulated by the current code, but not
 * vice versa.
 * 2) Some drivers don't keep any configuration in the driver, for them
 * adding such a registry would be a significant bloat.
 * 3) The code to translate from Wireless Extension to native format is
 * needed anyway, so it would not reduce significantely the amount of code.
 * 4) The current approach only selectively translate Wireless Extensions
 * to native format and only selectively set, whereas the registry approach
 * would require to translate all WE and set all parameters for any single
 * change.
 * 5) For many Wireless Extensions, the GET operation return the current
 * dynamic value, not the value that was set.
 *
 * This header is <net/iw_handler.h>
 * ---------------------------------
 * 1) This header is kernel space only and should not be exported to
 * user space. Headers in "include/linux/" are exported, headers in
 * "include/net/" are not.
 *
 * Mixed 32/64 bit issues
 * ----------------------
 * The Wireless Extensions are designed to be 64 bit clean, by using only
 * datatypes with explicit storage size.
 * There are some issues related to kernel and user space using different
 * memory model, and in particular 64bit kernel with 32bit user space.
 * The problem is related to struct iw_point, that contains a pointer
 * that *may* need to be translated.
 * This is quite messy. The new API doesn't solve this problem (it can't),
 * but is a step in the right direction :
 * 1) Meta data about each ioctl is easily available, so we know what type
 * of translation is needed.
 * 2) The move of data between kernel and user space is only done in a single
 * place in the kernel, so adding specific hooks in there is possible.
 * 3) In the long term, it allows to move away from using ioctl as the
 * user space API.
 *
 * So many comments and so few code
 * --------------------------------
 * That's a feature. Comments won't bloat the resulting kernel binary.
