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.

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.

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -0400819 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
820 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
821 *
822 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
823 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
824 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
825 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
826 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
827 * be used only for transmission.
828 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
829 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
830 *
831 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
832 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
833 *
834 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
835 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
836 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
837 *
838 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
839 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
840 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
841 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
842 *
843 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
844 *
845 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
846 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
847 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
848 * based on the receive flags.
849 *
850 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
851 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
852 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
853 * keys.
Emmanuel Grumbach9ae4fda2008-03-20 15:06:42 +0200854 *
855 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
856 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
857 * handler.
858 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
859 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
860 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
861 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
862 * provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
863 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

867 * DOC: Frame filtering
868 *
869 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
870 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
871 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
872 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
873 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
874 *
875 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
876 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
877 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
878 *
879 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
880 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
881 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
882 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
883 *
884 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
885 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
886 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
887 * or dropped.
888 *
Michael Bueschd0f5afb2008-02-12 20:12:45 +0100889 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
890 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
891 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
892 * the flag, but not clear it.
893 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
894 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
895 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
896 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
897 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
898 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
899 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
900 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

966 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may

968 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
969 *
970 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
971 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
972 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
973 * configuration in the TX control data. Must be implemented and
974 * atomic.
975 *
976 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
977 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
978 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
979 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
980 * or zero.
981 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
982 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
983 * is added.
984 * Must be implemented.
985 *
986 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
987 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
988 * it must turn off frame reception.)
989 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
990 * an interface.
991 * Must be implemented.
992 *
993 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
994 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
995 * and @stop must be implemented.
996 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
997 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
998 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
999 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1000 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1001 * Must be implemented.
1002 *
1003 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1004 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1005 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1006 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1007 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1008 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1009 * MAC address of the device going away.
1010 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
1011 *
1012 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1013 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1014 *
1015 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
1016 * (e.g. BSSID changes.)
1017 *
Johannes Berg471b3ef2007-12-28 14:32:58 +01001018 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1019 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1020 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1021 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1022 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1023 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. This callback
1024 * has to be atomic.
1025 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001026 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1027 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1028 * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1029 *
1030 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
1031 * generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
1032 * mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared

1068 * %IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_* constants. Must be atomic.
1069 *
1070 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1071 * to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1072 * size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1073 * (count). This information is used for WMM to find out which TX
1074 * queues have room for more packets and by hostapd to provide
1075 * statistics about the current queueing state to external programs.
1076 *
1077 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1078 * this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
1079 * required function. Must be atomic.
1080 *
1081 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1082 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1083 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1084 * TSF synchronization.
1085 *
1086 * @beacon_update: Setup beacon data for IBSS beacons. Unlike access point,
1087 * IBSS uses a fixed beacon frame which is configured using this
Michael Buesch5ecc2a52007-10-02 12:17:56 +02001088 * function.
1089 * If the driver returns success (0) from this callback, it owns
1090 * the skb. That means the driver is responsible to kfree_skb() it.
1091 * The control structure is not dynamically allocated. That means the
1092 * driver does not own the pointer and if it needs it somewhere
1093 * outside of the context of this function, it must copy it
1094 * somewhere else.

1097 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1098 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1099 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
Ron Rindjunskyd3c990f2007-11-26 16:14:34 +02001100 *
1101 * @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
