24 /**
25 * DOC: Introduction
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.
33 /**
34 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
36 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
37 * 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
40 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
41 * tasklet function.
43 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
44 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
47 /**
48 * DOC: Warning
50 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
51 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
54 /**
55 * DOC: Frame format
57 * 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.
62 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
64 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
65 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
67 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
68 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
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.

1054 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given

1056 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1057 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1058 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1059 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1060 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1062 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1063 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1064 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1066 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1067 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1068 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1069 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1071 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1073 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1074 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1075 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1076 * based on the receive flags.
1078 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1079 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1080 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1081 * keys.
1083 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1084 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1085 * handler.
1086 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1087 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1088 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1089 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1090 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1091 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
1095 * DOC: Powersave support
1097 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1099 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by
1100 * itself, such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1101 * hardware flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired
1102 * powersave mode depending on the association status, and the driver
1103 * must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary, i.e. when
1104 * entering and leaving powersave mode. The driver is required to look at
1105 * the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when it finds
1106 * traffic directed to it. This mode supports dynamic PS by simply
1107 * enabling/disabling PS.
1109 * Additionally, such hardware may set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS
1110 * flag to indicate that it can support dynamic PS mode itself (see below).
1112 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1113 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1114 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1115 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1116 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1117 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1118 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow.
1120 * Dynamic powersave mode is an extension to normal powersave mode in which
1121 * the hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending
1122 * a frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed
1123 * to the next wakeup. This can either be supported by hardware, in which case
1124 * the driver needs to look at the @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration
1125 * value, or by the stack if all nullfunc handling is in the stack.
1129 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1131 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1132 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1133 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1134 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1135 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1136 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1137 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1139 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1140 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1141 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1142 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1143 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1145 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1146 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1147 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1148 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1150 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1151 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1152 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1153 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1154 * - a list of information element IDs
1155 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1157 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1158 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1159 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1160 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1161 * vendor information elements.
1163 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1164 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1166 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1167 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1168 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1169 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1170 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1171 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1174 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1175 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1176 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1177 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1178 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1179 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1180 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1181 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1183 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1184 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1185 * signal strength threshold checking.
1189 * DOC: Frame filtering
1191 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1192 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1193 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1194 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1195 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1197 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1198 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1199 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1201 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
1202 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
1203 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
1204 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
1206 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1207 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1208 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1209 * or dropped.
1211 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1212 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1213 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1214 * the flag, but not clear it.
1215 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1216 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1217 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1218 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1219 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1220 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1221 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1222 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
1226 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
1228 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
1229 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
1230 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
1231 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
1233 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
1234 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
1235 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
1237 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
1238 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
1239 * multicast address.
1241 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
1242 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
1244 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
1245 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
1247 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
1248 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
1249 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
1250 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
1251 * honour this flag if possible.
1253 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then
1254 * only those addressed to this station
1256 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes

1288 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
1290 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
1291 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
1292 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1294 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1295 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1296 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1297 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1298 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1299 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
1300 * This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
1301 * limited cases.
1302 * Must be implemented and atomic.
1304 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1305 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1306 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1307 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1308 * or zero.
1309 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1310 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1311 * is added.
1312 * Must be implemented.
1314 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1315 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1316 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1317 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1318 * an interface.
1319 * Must be implemented.
1321 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1322 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
1323 * and @stop must be implemented.
1324 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1325 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1326 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1327 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1328 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1329 * Must be implemented.
1331 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1332 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1333 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1334 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1335 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1336 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1337 * MAC address of the device going away.
1338 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
1340 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1341 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1342 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
1343 * if it does.
1345 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1346 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1347 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1348 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1349 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1350 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
1352 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1353 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1354 * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1356 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1357 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
1359 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1360 * This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1361 * and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
1362 * is enabled.
1363 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
1365 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1366 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1367 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1369 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1370 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1371 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1372 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
1373 * that power save is disabled.
1374 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1375 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1376 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1377 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1378 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1379 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1380 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
1382 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1383 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1385 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a software scan
1386 * finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1388 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
1389 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
1391 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1392 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1393 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1395 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1397 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition, removal or power
1398 * state transition of an associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.
1399 * Must be atomic.
1401 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1402 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
1403 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
1405 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1406 * to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1407 * size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1408 * (count). The 'stats' pointer points to an array that has hw->queues
1409 * items.
1411 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1412 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
1413 * required function.
1415 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
1416 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
1417 * required function.
1419 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1420 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1421 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1422 * TSF synchronization.
1424 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1425 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1426 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1427 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
1429 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1430 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1431 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1432 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1433 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
1434 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
1435 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
