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
30 * drivers.

34 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
35 *
36 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
Jiri Bencf0706e822007-05-05 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.

79 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001276 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1277 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1278 *
1279 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1280 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
Johannes Bergdc822b52008-12-29 12:55:09 +01001281 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1282 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1283 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001284 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1285 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1286 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001287 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1288 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1289 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1290 *
1291 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1292 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1293 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1294 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1295 *
1296 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1297 *
1298 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1299 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1300 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1301 * based on the receive flags.
1302 *
1303 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1304 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1305 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1306 * keys.
Emmanuel Grumbach9ae4fda2008-03-20 15:06:42 +02001307 *
1308 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1309 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1310 * handler.
1311 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
Lucas De Marchi25985ed2011-03-30 22:57:33 -03001312 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
Emmanuel Grumbach9ae4fda2008-03-20 15:06:42 +02001313 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1314 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
Bob Copelande37d4df2008-10-20 21:20:27 -04001315 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
Emmanuel Grumbach9ae4fda2008-03-20 15:06:42 +02001316 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001320 * DOC: Powersave support
1321 *
1322 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1323 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001324 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1325 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1326 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1327 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1328 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1329 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1330 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1331 * it finds traffic directed to it.
Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001332 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001333 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1334 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1335 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
Bob Copeland2738bd62010-08-21 16:39:01 -04001336 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1337 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001338 *
1339 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1340 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1341 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001342 *
1343 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1344 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1345 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1346 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
Johannes Berg955394c2009-04-16 17:04:25 +02001347 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1348 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001349 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
Johannes Berg4be8c382009-01-07 18:28:20 +01001350 *
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001351 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1352 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1353 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1354 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1355 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1356 * periods.
1357 *
Bob Copeland2738bd62010-08-21 16:39:01 -04001358 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
Kalle Valoc99445b2010-01-14 13:09:21 +02001359 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1360 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1361 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1362 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1363 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1364 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1365 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1366 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1367 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1368 *
Juuso Oikarinenf90754c2010-06-21 08:59:39 +03001369 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1370 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1371 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1372 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1373 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1374 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1375 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1376 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.

Kalle Valo04de8382009-03-22 21:57:35 +02001390 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1391 *
1392 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1393 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1394 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1395 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1396 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1397 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1398 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1399 *
Johannes Berg955394c2009-04-16 17:04:25 +02001400 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1401 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1402 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1403 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1404 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1405 *
1406 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1407 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1408 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1409 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1410 *
1411 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1412 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1413 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1414 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1415 * - a list of information element IDs
1416 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1417 *
1418 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1419 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1420 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1421 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1422 * vendor information elements.
1423 *
1424 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1425 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1426 *
1427 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1428 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1429 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1430 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1431 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1432 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1433 *
1434 *
1435 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1436 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1437 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1438 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1439 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1440 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1441 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1442 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1443 *
1444 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1445 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1446 * signal strength threshold checking.

Johannes Berg0f782312009-12-01 13:37:02 +01001450 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1451 *
1452 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1453 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1454 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1455 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1456 *
1457 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1458 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1459 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1460 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1461 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1462 * hardware flags.
1463 *
1464 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1465 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1466 * turned off otherwise.
1467 *
1468 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1469 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1470 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1471 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001475 * DOC: Frame filtering
1476 *
1477 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1478 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1479 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1480 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1481 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1482 *
1483 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1484 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1485 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1486 *
Johannes Berg3ac64be2009-08-17 16:16:53 +02001487 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1488 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1489 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1490 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1491 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1492 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1493 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001494 *
1495 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1496 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1497 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1498 * or dropped.
1499 *
Michael Bueschd0f5afb2008-02-12 20:12:45 +01001500 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1501 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1502 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1503 * the flag, but not clear it.
1504 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1505 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1506 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1507 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1508 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1509 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1510 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1511 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1700 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
Johannes Bergde95a542009-04-01 11:58:36 +02001701 * that power save is disabled.
1702 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1703 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1704 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1705 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1706 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1707 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1708 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.

Johannes Berg4976b4e2011-01-04 13:02:32 +01001837 *
1838 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
1839 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
1840 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
1841 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
1842 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
1843 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
1844 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired(). This callback may sleep.
1845 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
1846 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.

1850 * regular transmission (if supported.)
1851 * @offchannel_tx_cancel_wait: cancel wait associated with offchannel TX
John W. Linville38c09152011-03-07 16:19:18 -05001852 *
