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
Jiri Bencf0706e82007-05-05 11:45:53 -070038 * 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
Johannes Berg2485f712008-02-25 16:27:41 +010041 * 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-irqsafe functions!

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -040058 * 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.

Johannes Berg1bc08262007-09-18 17:29:15 -0400662 * enum ieee80211_hw_flags - hardware flags
663 *
664 * These flags are used to indicate hardware capabilities to
665 * the stack. Generally, flags here should have their meaning
666 * done in a way that the simplest hardware doesn't need setting
667 * any particular flags. There are some exceptions to this rule,
668 * however, so you are advised to review these flags carefully.
669 *
670 * @IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE:
671 * The device only needs to be supplied with a beacon template.
672 * If you need the host to generate each beacon then don't use
673 * this flag and call ieee80211_beacon_get() when you need the
674 * next beacon frame. Note that if you set this flag, you must
675 * implement the set_tim() callback for powersave mode to work
676 * properly.
677 * This flag is only relevant for access-point mode.
678 *
679 * @IEEE80211_HW_RX_INCLUDES_FCS:
680 * Indicates that received frames passed to the stack include
681 * the FCS at the end.
682 *
683 * @IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING:
684 * Some wireless LAN chipsets buffer broadcast/multicast frames
685 * for power saving stations in the hardware/firmware and others
686 * rely on the host system for such buffering. This option is used
687 * to configure the IEEE 802.11 upper layer to buffer broadcast and
688 * multicast frames when there are power saving stations so that
689 * the driver can fetch them with ieee80211_get_buffered_bc(). Note
690 * that not setting this flag works properly only when the
691 * %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is also not set because
692 * otherwise the stack will not know when the DTIM beacon was sent.
693 *
Johannes Berg8318d782008-01-24 19:38:38 +0100694 * @IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_SLOT_INCAPABLE:
695 * Hardware is not capable of short slot operation on the 2.4 GHz band.
696 *
697 * @IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_PREAMBLE_INCAPABLE:
698 * Hardware is not capable of receiving frames with short preamble on
699 * the 2.4 GHz band.

Johannes Berg4150c572007-09-17 01:29:23 -0400794 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -0400795 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
796 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
797 *
798 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
799 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
800 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
801 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
802 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
803 * be used only for transmission.
804 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
805 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
806 *
807 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
808 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
809 *
810 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
811 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
812 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
813 *
814 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
815 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
816 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
817 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
818 *
819 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
820 *
821 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
822 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
823 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
824 * based on the receive flags.
825 *
826 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
827 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
828 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
829 * keys.

833 * DOC: Frame filtering
834 *
835 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
836 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
837 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
838 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
839 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
840 *
841 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
842 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
843 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
844 *
845 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
846 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
847 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
848 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
849 *
850 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
851 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
852 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
853 * or dropped.
854 *
Michael Bueschd0f5afb2008-02-12 20:12:45 +0100855 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
856 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
857 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
858 * the flag, but not clear it.
859 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
860 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
861 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
862 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
863 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
864 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
865 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
866 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

932 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may

934 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
935 *
936 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
937 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
938 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
939 * configuration in the TX control data. Must be implemented and
940 * atomic.
941 *
942 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
943 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
944 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
945 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
946 * or zero.
947 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
948 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
949 * is added.
950 * Must be implemented.
951 *
952 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
953 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
954 * it must turn off frame reception.)
955 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
956 * an interface.
957 * Must be implemented.
958 *
959 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
960 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
961 * and @stop must be implemented.
962 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
963 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
964 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
965 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
966 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
967 * Must be implemented.
968 *
969 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
970 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
971 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
972 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
973 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
974 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
975 * MAC address of the device going away.
976 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
977 *
978 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
979 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
980 *
981 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
982 * (e.g. BSSID changes.)
983 *
Johannes Berg471b3ef2007-12-28 14:32:58 +0100984 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
985 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
986 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
987 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
988 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
989 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. This callback
990 * has to be atomic.
991 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -0400992 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
993 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
994 * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
995 *
996 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
997 * generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
998 * mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
999 * for a given AID. Must be atomic.
1000 *
1001 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1002 * This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1003 * and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
1004 * given local_address is enabled.
1005 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001006 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
Johannes Berg8318d782008-01-24 19:38:38 +01001007 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1008 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's registered

1030 * %IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_* constants. Must be atomic.
1031 *
1032 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1033 * to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1034 * size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1035 * (count). This information is used for WMM to find out which TX

1038 *
1039 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,

1042 *
1043 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
