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 Bencf0706e822007-05-05 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.

681 * If you need the host to generate each beacon then don't use
682 * this flag and call ieee80211_beacon_get() when you need the
683 * next beacon frame. Note that if you set this flag, you must
684 * implement the set_tim() callback for powersave mode to work

693 * Some wireless LAN chipsets buffer broadcast/multicast frames

Johannes Berg4150c572007-09-17 01:29:23 -0400803 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -0400804 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
805 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
806 *
807 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
808 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
809 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
810 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
811 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
812 * be used only for transmission.
813 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
814 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
815 *
816 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
817 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
818 *
819 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
820 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
821 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
822 *
823 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
824 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
825 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
826 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
827 *
828 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
829 *
830 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
831 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
832 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
833 * based on the receive flags.
834 *
835 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
836 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
837 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
838 * keys.
Emmanuel Grumbach9ae4fda2008-03-20 15:06:42 +0200839 *
840 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
841 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
842 * handler.
843 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
844 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
845 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
846 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
847 * provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
848 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

852 * DOC: Frame filtering
853 *
854 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
855 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
856 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
857 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
858 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
859 *
860 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
861 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
862 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
863 *
864 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
865 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
866 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
867 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
868 *
869 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
870 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
871 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
872 * or dropped.
873 *
Michael Bueschd0f5afb2008-02-12 20:12:45 +0100874 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
875 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
876 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
877 * the flag, but not clear it.
878 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
879 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
880 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
881 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
882 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
883 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
884 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
885 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

951 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may

953 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
954 *
955 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
956 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
957 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
958 * configuration in the TX control data. Must be implemented and
959 * atomic.
960 *
961 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
962 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
963 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
964 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
965 * or zero.
966 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
967 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
968 * is added.
969 * Must be implemented.
970 *
971 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
972 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
973 * it must turn off frame reception.)
974 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
975 * an interface.
976 * Must be implemented.
977 *
978 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
979 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
980 * and @stop must be implemented.
981 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
982 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
983 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
984 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
985 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
986 * Must be implemented.
987 *
988 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
989 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
990 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
991 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
992 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
993 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
994 * MAC address of the device going away.
995 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
996 *
997 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
998 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
999 *
1000 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
1001 * (e.g. BSSID changes.)
1002 *
Johannes Berg471b3ef2007-12-28 14:32:58 +01001003 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1004 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1005 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1006 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1007 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1008 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. This callback
1009 * has to be atomic.
1010 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001011 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1012 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1013 * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1014 *
1015 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
1016 * generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
1017 * mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
1018 * for a given AID. Must be atomic.
1019 *
1020 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1021 * This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1022 * and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
1023 * given local_address is enabled.
1024 *
Emmanuel Grumbach9ae4fda2008-03-20 15:06:42 +02001025 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1026 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1027 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1028 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001029 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start

1055 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1056 * to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1057 * size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1058 * (count). This information is used for WMM to find out which TX

1065 *
1066 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1067 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1068 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1069 * TSF synchronization.

1082 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1083 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1084 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
