25 /**
26 * DOC: Introduction
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
37 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
38 * 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
41 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
42 * tasklet function.
44 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
45 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
48 /**
49 * DOC: Warning
51 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
52 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
55 /**
56 * DOC: Frame format
58 * 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.
63 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
65 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
66 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
68 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
69 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
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.
76 /**
77 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
79 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
80 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
81 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
82 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
84 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
85 * suspend.
87 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

294 * number and increasing the sequence number only when the

296 * assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
297 * for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
298 * that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.

309 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
310 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
311 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
312 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
313 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
314 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
315 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
316 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
317 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
318 * hardware queue.
319 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
320 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
321 * is for the whole aggregation.
322 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
323 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
324 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
325 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
326 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
327 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
328 * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
329 * it can be sent out.
330 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
331 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
332 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
333 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
334 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PSPOLL_RESPONSE: (internal?)
335 * This frame is a response to a PS-poll frame and should be sent
336 * although the station is in powersave mode.
337 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
338 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
339 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
340 * queue gets full.
341 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
342 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
343 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
344 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_HAS_RADIOTAP: This frame was injected and still
345 * has a radiotap header at skb->data.
346 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
347 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
348 * status to user space)
349 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
350 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
351 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
352 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
353 * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
354 * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
355 * handled properly by the device.
356 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
357 * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
358 * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
360 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't

1273 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
1275 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1276 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1278 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1279 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1280 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1281 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1282 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1283 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1284 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1286 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1287 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1288 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1290 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1291 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1292 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1293 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1295 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1297 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1298 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1299 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1300 * based on the receive flags.
1302 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1303 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1304 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1305 * keys.
1307 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1308 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1309 * handler.
1310 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1311 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1312 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1313 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1314 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1315 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
1319 * DOC: Powersave support
1321 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1323 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1324 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1325 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1326 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1327 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1328 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1329 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1330 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1332 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1333 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1334 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1335 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1336 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
1338 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1339 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1340 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1342 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1343 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1344 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1345 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1346 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1347 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1348 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1350 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1351 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1352 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1353 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1354 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1355 * periods.
1357 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
1358 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1359 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1360 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1361 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1362 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1363 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1364 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1365 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1366 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1368 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1369 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1370 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1371 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1372 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1373 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1374 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1375 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1377 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1378 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1379 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1380 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1381 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1382 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1384 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1385 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
1389 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1391 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1392 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1393 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1394 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1395 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1396 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1397 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1399 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1400 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1401 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1402 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1403 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1405 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1406 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1407 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1408 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1410 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1411 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1412 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1413 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1414 * - a list of information element IDs
1415 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1417 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1418 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1419 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1420 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1421 * vendor information elements.
1423 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1424 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1426 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1427 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1428 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1429 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1430 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1431 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1434 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1435 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1436 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1437 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1438 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1439 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1440 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1441 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1443 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1444 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1445 * signal strength threshold checking.
1449 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1451 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1452 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1453 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1454 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1456 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1457 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1458 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1459 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1460 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1461 * hardware flags.
1463 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1464 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1465 * turned off otherwise.
1467 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1468 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1469 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1470 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
1474 * DOC: Frame filtering
1476 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1477 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1478 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1479 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1480 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1482 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1483 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1484 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1486 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1487 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1488 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1489 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1490 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1491 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1492 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1494 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1495 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1496 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1497 * or dropped.
1499 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1500 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1501 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1502 * the flag, but not clear it.
1503 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1504 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1505 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1506 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1507 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1508 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1509 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1510 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
1514 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
1516 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
1517 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
1518 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
1519 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
1521 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
1522 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
1523 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
1525 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
1526 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
1527 * multicast address.
1529 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
1530 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
1532 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
1533 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
1535 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
1536 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
1537 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
1538 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
1539 * honour this flag if possible.
1541 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames (except for PS Poll), if PROMISC_IN_BSS
1542 * is not set then only those addressed to this station.
1544 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes
1546 * @FIF_PSPOLL: pass PS Poll frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then only
1547 * those addressed to this station.

1589 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
1591 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
1592 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
1593 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1595 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1596 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1597 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1598 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1599 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1600 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
1601 * This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
1602 * limited cases.
1603 * Must be implemented and atomic.
1605 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1606 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1607 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1608 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1609 * or zero.
1610 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1611 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1612 * is added.
1613 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1615 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1616 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1617 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1618 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1619 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1620 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
1621 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1623 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
1624 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
1625 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
1626 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
1627 * reconfigured at resume time.
1628 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
1629 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
1630 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
1631 * must return 1 from this function.
1633 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
1634 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
1635 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
1636 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
1637 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
1639 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1640 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
1641 * and @stop must be implemented.
1642 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1643 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1644 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1645 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1646 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1647 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1649 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
1650 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
1651 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
1652 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
1653 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
1655 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1656 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1657 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1658 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1659 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1660 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1661 * MAC address of the device going away.
1662 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
1664 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1665 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1666 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
1667 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
1669 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1670 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1671 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1672 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1673 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1674 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1675 * can sleep.
1677 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
1678 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
1679 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
1681 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1682 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1683 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
1685 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1686 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
1688 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1689 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
1690 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
1691 * is enabled.
1692 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
1693 * The callback can sleep.
1695 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1696 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1697 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1698 * The callback must be atomic.
1700 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
1701 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
1702 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
1703 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
1704 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
1706 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1707 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1708 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1709 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
1710 * that power save is disabled.
1711 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1712 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1713 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1714 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1715 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1716 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1717 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
1718 * The callback can sleep.
1720 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
1721 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
1722 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
1723 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
1724 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
1725 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
1726 * The callback can sleep.
1728 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
1729 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
1730 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
1731 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
1733 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
1735 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1736 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1737 * The callback can sleep.
1739 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
1740 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
1741 * this notification.
1742 * The callback can sleep.
1744 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
1745 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
1746 * The callback can sleep.
1748 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1749 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1750 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1751 * The callback must be atomic.
1753 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
1754 * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
1755 * implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
1756 * The callback can sleep.
1758 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1759 * The callback can sleep.
1761 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
1762 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1764 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
1765 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1767 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
1768 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
1769 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
1770 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
1772 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1773 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
1774 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
1775 * The callback can sleep.
1777 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1778 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
1779 * required function.
1780 * The callback can sleep.
1782 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
1783 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
1784 * required function.
1785 * The callback can sleep.
1787 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1788 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1789 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1790 * TSF synchronization.
1791 * The callback can sleep.
1793 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1794 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1795 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1796 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
1797 * The callback can sleep.
1799 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1800 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1801 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1802 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1803 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
1804 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
1805 * The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
1806 * %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
1807 * buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
1808 * may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
1809 * nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
1810 * buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
1811 * possible with a buf_size of 8:
1812 * - TX: 1.....7
1813 * - RX: 2....7 (lost frame #1)
1814 * - TX: 8..1...
1815 * which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
1816 * buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
1817 * - TX: 1 or 18 or 81
1818 * Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
1820 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
1821 * The callback can sleep.
1823 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
1825 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
1826 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
1827 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
1828 * The callback can sleep.
1830 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
1831 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
1832 * accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
1834 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
1835 * The callback can sleep.
1836 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
1838 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
1839 * that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
1840 * to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
1842 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
1843 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
1844 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
1845 * completion of the channel switch.
1847 * @napi_poll: Poll Rx queue for incoming data frames.
1849 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
1850 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
1851 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
1852 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
1854 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
1856 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
1857 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
1858 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
1859 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
1860 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
1861 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
1862 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired(). This callback may sleep.
1863 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
1864 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
1865 * @offchannel_tx: Transmit frame on another channel, wait for a response
1866 * and return. Reliable TX status must be reported for the frame. If the
1867 * return value is 1, then the @remain_on_channel will be used with a
1868 * regular transmission (if supported.)
1869 * @offchannel_tx_cancel_wait: cancel wait associated with offchannel TX
1871 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
1873 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
1875 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
1876 * queues before entering power save.
1878 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
1879 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
1880 * The callback can sleep.
1881 * @rssi_callback: Notify driver when the average RSSI goes above/below
1882 * thresholds that were registered previously. The callback can sleep.
