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.
75 /**
76 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
78 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
79 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
80 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
81 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
83 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
84 * suspend.
86 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

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

375 * assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
376 * 802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for

378 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
379 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
380 * station

384 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
385 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
386 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
387 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
388 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
389 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
390 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
391 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
392 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
393 * hardware queue.
394 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
395 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
396 * is for the whole aggregation.
397 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
398 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
399 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
400 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
401 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
402 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
403 * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
404 * it can be sent out.
405 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
406 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
407 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
408 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
409 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
410 * frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
411 * be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
412 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
413 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
414 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
415 * queue gets full.
416 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
417 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
418 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
419 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_MLME_CONN_TX: This frame was transmitted by the MLME
420 * code for connection establishment, this indicates that its status
421 * should kick the MLME state machine.
422 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
423 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
424 * status to user space)
425 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
426 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
427 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
428 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
429 * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
430 * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
431 * handled properly by the device.
432 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
433 * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
434 * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
435 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
436 * This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
437 * frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
438 * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
439 * when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
440 * an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
441 * the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
442 * PS-Poll responses.
443 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
444 * This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
445 * the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
446 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
447 * would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
448 * monitor injection).
450 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
451 * forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

969 * but actually means the number of transmissions not the number of retries
970 * @short_frame_max_tx_count: Maximum number of transmissions for a "short"
971 * frame, called "dot11ShortRetryLimit" in 802.11, but actually means the
972 * number of transmissions not the number of retries
974 * @smps_mode: spatial multiplexing powersave mode; note that

1290 * Hardware can provide signal values but we don't know its units. We
1291 * expect values between 0 and @max_signal.
1292 * If possible please provide dB or dBm instead.
1294 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM:
1295 * Hardware gives signal values in dBm, decibel difference from
1296 * one milliwatt. This is the preferred method since it is standardized
1297 * between different devices. @max_signal does not need to be set.

1329 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD:
1330 * Hardware supports Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery
1331 * (U-APSD) in managed mode. The mode is configured with
1332 * conf_tx() operation.
1334 * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS:
1335 * Hardware can provide ack status reports of Tx frames to

1338 * @IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR:
1339 * The hardware performs its own connection monitoring, including
1340 * periodic keep-alives to the AP and probing the AP on beacon loss.
1341 * When this flag is set, signaling beacon-loss will cause an immediate
1342 * change to disassociated state.
1344 * @IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC:
1345 * This device needs to get data from beacon before association (i.e.
1346 * dtim_period).
1348 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PER_STA_GTK: The device's crypto engine supports
1349 * per-station GTKs as used by IBSS RSN or during fast transition. If
1350 * the device doesn't support per-station GTKs, but can be asked not
1351 * to decrypt group addressed frames, then IBSS RSN support is still
1352 * possible but software crypto will be used. Advertise the wiphy flag
1353 * only in that case.
1355 * @IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS: When operating in AP mode the device
1356 * autonomously manages the PS status of connected stations. When
1357 * this flag is set mac80211 will not trigger PS mode for connected
1358 * stations based on the PM bit of incoming frames.
1359 * Use ieee80211_start_ps()/ieee8021_end_ps() to manually configure
1360 * the PS mode of connected stations.
1362 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMPDU_SETUP_IN_HW: The device handles TX A-MPDU session
1363 * setup strictly in HW. mac80211 should not attempt to do this in
1364 * software.
1366 * @IEEE80211_HW_SCAN_WHILE_IDLE: The device can do hw scan while
1367 * being idle (i.e. mac80211 doesn't have to go idle-off during the
1368 * the scan).
1370 * @IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF: The driver would like to be informed of
1371 * a virtual monitor interface when monitor interfaces are the only
1372 * active interfaces.
1374 * @IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL: The driver wants to control per-interface

1599 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
1601 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1602 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1604 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1605 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1606 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1607 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1608 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1609 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1610 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1612 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1613 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1614 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1616 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1617 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1618 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1619 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1621 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1623 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1624 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1625 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1626 * based on the receive flags.
1628 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1629 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1630 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1631 * keys.
1633 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1634 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1635 * handler.
1636 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1637 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1638 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1639 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1640 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1641 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
1643 * The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index
1644 * configured to the hardware for WEP encryption type. This is required
1645 * for devices that support offload of data packets (e.g. ARP responses).
1649 * DOC: Powersave support
1651 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1653 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1654 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1655 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1656 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1657 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1658 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1659 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1660 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1662 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1663 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1664 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1665 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1666 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
1668 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1669 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1670 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1672 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1673 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1674 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1675 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1676 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1677 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1678 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1680 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1681 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1682 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1683 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1684 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1685 * periods.
1687 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
1688 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1689 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1690 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1691 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1692 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1693 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1694 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1695 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1696 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1698 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1699 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1700 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1701 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1702 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1703 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1705 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1706 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
1710 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1712 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1713 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
1714 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1715 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1716 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1717 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1718 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1720 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
1721 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1722 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1723 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1724 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1726 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1727 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1728 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1729 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1731 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1732 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1733 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1734 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1735 * - a list of information element IDs
1736 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1738 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1739 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1740 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1741 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1742 * vendor information elements.
1744 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1745 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1747 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1748 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1749 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1750 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1751 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1752 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1755 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1756 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1757 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1758 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1759 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1760 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1761 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1762 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1764 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1765 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1766 * signal strength threshold checking.
1770 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1772 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1773 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1774 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1775 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1777 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1778 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1779 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1780 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1781 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1782 * hardware flags.
1784 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1785 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1786 * turned off otherwise.
1788 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1789 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1790 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1791 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
1795 * DOC: Frame filtering
1797 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1798 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1799 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1800 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1801 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1803 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1804 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1805 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1807 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1808 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1809 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1810 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1811 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1812 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1813 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1815 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1816 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1817 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1818 * or dropped.
1820 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1821 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1822 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1823 * the flag, but not clear it.
1824 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1825 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1826 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1827 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1828 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1829 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1830 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1831 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
1835 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
1837 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
1838 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
1839 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
1841 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
1842 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
1843 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
1844 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
1845 * the driver code.
1847 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
1848 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
1849 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
1850 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
1851 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
1852 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
1853 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
1855 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
1856 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
1857 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
1858 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
1859 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
1860 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
1861 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
1862 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
1863 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
1864 * @sta_notify callback.
1866 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
1867 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
1868 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
1869 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
1870 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
1871 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
1872 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
1873 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
1874 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
1875 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
1876 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
1877 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
1878 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
1879 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
1881 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
1882 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
1884 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
1885 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
1886 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
1887 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
1888 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
1889 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
1890 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
1891 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
1892 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
1893 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
1894 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
1896 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
1897 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
1898 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
1899 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
1900 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
1901 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
1902 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
1903 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
1904 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
1905 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
1906 * to help the @more_data paramter is passed to tell the driver if
1907 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
1908 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
1909 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
1911 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
1912 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
1913 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
1914 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
1915 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
1916 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe()
1917 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
1919 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
1920 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
1921 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
1922 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
1923 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() in this case.
1927 * DOC: HW queue control
1929 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
1930 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
1931 * was problematic for a few reasons:
1932 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
1933 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
1934 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
1936 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
1937 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
1938 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
1940 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
1941 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
1942 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
1943 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
1944 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
1945 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
1946 * the hardware queue.
1947 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
1948 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
1950 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
1951 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
1952 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
1953 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
1954 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
1956 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
1957 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
1958 * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
1959 * off-channel queue: 9
1961 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
1962 * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
1964 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
1965 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
1966 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
1967 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
1968 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
1969 * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
1970 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
1972 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
1973 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
1975 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
1976 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
1977 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
1978 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.
1982 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
1984 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
1985 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
1986 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
1987 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
1989 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
1990 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
1991 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
1993 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
1994 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
1995 * multicast address.
1997 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
1998 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
2000 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
2001 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
2003 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
2004 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
2005 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
2006 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
2007 * honour this flag if possible.
2009 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames (except for PS Poll), if PROMISC_IN_BSS
2010 * is not set then only those addressed to this station.
2012 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes
2014 * @FIF_PSPOLL: pass PS Poll frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then only
2015 * those addressed to this station.

2049 * @IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH: stop TX aggregation and flush all packets,

2096 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
2098 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
2099 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
2100 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
2102 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
2103 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
2104 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
2105 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
2106 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
2107 * Must be atomic.
2109 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
2110 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
2111 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
2112 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
2113 * or zero.
2114 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
2115 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
2116 * is added.
2117 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2119 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
2120 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
2121 * it must turn off frame reception.)
2122 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
2123 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
2124 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
2125 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2127 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
2128 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
2129 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
2130 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
2131 * reconfigured at resume time.
2132 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
2133 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
2134 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
2135 * must return 1 from this function.
2137 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
2138 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
2139 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
2140 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
2141 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
2143 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
2144 * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
2145 * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
2146 * in suspend().
2148 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
2149 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
2150 * and @stop must be implemented.
2151 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
2152 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
2153 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
2154 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
2155 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
2156 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2158 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
2159 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
2160 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
2161 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
2162 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
2164 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
2165 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
2166 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
2167 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
2168 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
2169 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
2170 * MAC address of the device going away.
2171 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
2173 * @add_interface_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
2174 * when a vif is added to mac80211. This callback and
2175 * @remove_interface_debugfs should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS
2176 * conditional. @remove_interface_debugfs must be provided for cleanup.
2177 * This callback can sleep.
2179 * @remove_interface_debugfs: Remove the debugfs files which were added using
2180 * @add_interface_debugfs. This callback must remove all debugfs entries
2181 * that were added because mac80211 only removes interface debugfs when the
2182 * interface is destroyed, not when it is removed from the driver.
2183 * This callback can sleep.
2185 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
2186 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
2187 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
2188 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
2190 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
2191 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
2192 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
2193 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
2194 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
2195 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
2196 * can sleep.
2198 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
2199 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
2200 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
2202 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
2203 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
2204 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
2206 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
2207 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
2209 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2210 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
2211 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
2212 * is enabled.
2213 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
2214 * The callback can sleep.
2216 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2217 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
2218 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
2219 * The callback must be atomic.
2221 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
2222 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
2223 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
2224 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
2225 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
2227 * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
2228 * WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
2229 * offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
2231 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
2232 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
2233 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
2234 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
2235 * that power save is disabled.
2236 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
2237 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
2238 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
2239 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
2240 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
2241 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
2242 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
2243 * The callback can sleep.
2245 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
2246 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
2247 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
2248 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
2249 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
2250 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
2251 * The callback can sleep.
2253 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
2254 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
2255 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
2256 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
2258 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
2260 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
2261 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
2262 * The callback can sleep.
2264 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
2265 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
2266 * this notification.
2267 * The callback can sleep.
2269 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
2270 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
2271 * The callback can sleep.
2273 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
2274 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
2275 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
2276 * The callback must be atomic.
2278 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
2279 * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
2280 * implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
2281 * The callback can sleep.
2283 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
2284 * The callback can sleep.
2286 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
2287 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2289 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
2290 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2292 * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
2293 * when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
2294 * and @sta_remove_debugfs should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS
2295 * conditional. This callback can sleep.
2297 * @sta_remove_debugfs: Remove the debugfs files which were added using
2298 * @sta_add_debugfs. This callback can sleep.
2300 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
2301 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
2302 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
2303 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
2305 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
2306 * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
2307 * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
2308 * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
2309 * up the list of states.
2310 * The callback can sleep.
2312 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
2313 * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
2314 * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
2315 * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
2316 * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
2317 * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
2318 * Must be atomic.
2320 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
2321 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
2322 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
2323 * The callback can sleep.
2325 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
2326 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
2327 * required function.
2328 * The callback can sleep.
2330 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
2331 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
2332 * required function.
2333 * The callback can sleep.
2335 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
2336 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
2337 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
2338 * TSF synchronization.
2339 * The callback can sleep.
2341 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
2342 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
2343 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
2344 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
2345 * The callback can sleep.
2347 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
2348 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
2349 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
2350 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
2351 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
2352 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
2353 * The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
2354 * %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
2355 * buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
2356 * may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
2357 * nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
2358 * buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
2359 * possible with a buf_size of 8:
2360 * - TX: 1.....7
2361 * - RX: 2....7 (lost frame #1)
2362 * - TX: 8..1...
2363 * which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
2364 * buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
2365 * - TX: 1 or 18 or 81
2366 * Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
2368 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
2369 * The callback can sleep.
2371 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
2373 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
2374 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
2375 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
2376 * The callback can sleep.
2378 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
2379 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
2380 * accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
2382 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
2383 * The callback can sleep.
2384 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
2386 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
2387 * that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
2388 * to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
2390 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
2391 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
2392 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
2393 * completion of the channel switch.
2395 * @napi_poll: Poll Rx queue for incoming data frames.
2397 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
2398 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
2399 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
2400 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
2402 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
2404 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
2405 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
2406 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
2407 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
2408 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
2409 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
2410 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
2411 * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
2412 * must be accepted in this case.
2413 * This callback may sleep.
2414 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
2415 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
2417 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
2419 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
2421 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
2422 * queues before entering power save.
2424 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
2425 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
2426 * The callback can sleep.
2427 * @rssi_callback: Notify driver when the average RSSI goes above/below
2428 * thresholds that were registered previously. The callback can sleep.
2430 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
2431 * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
2432 * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
2433 * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
2434 * Note that if the @more_data paramter is %false the driver must check
2435 * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
2436 * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
2437 * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
2438 * more-data bit must always be set.
2439 * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
2440 * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
2441 * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
2442 * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
2443 * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2444 * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
2445 * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
2446 * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
2447 * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
2448 * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
2449 * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
2450 * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
2451 * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
2452 * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
2453 * ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
2454 * This callback must be atomic.
2455 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
2456 * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
2457 * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
2458 * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
2459 * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
2460 * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
2461 * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2462 * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
2463 * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
2464 * ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() function.
2465 * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
2466 * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
2467 * This callback must be atomic.
2469 * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
2471 * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
2473 * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
2474 * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
2476 * @get_rssi: Get current signal strength in dBm, the function is optional
2477 * and can sleep.
2479 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
2480 * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
2481 * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
2482 * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
2483 * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
2484 * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
2485 * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
2486 * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
2487 * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
2488 * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
2489 * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
2490 * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
2492 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
2493 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
2494 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
2495 * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
2496 * channel context with different settings
2497 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
2498 * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
2499 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
2500 * unbound from vif.
2501 * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
2502 * information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
2503 * context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
2504 * software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
2505 * just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
2506 * disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
2507 * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
2509 * @restart_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw(), when the
2510 * reconfiguration has completed. This can help the driver implement the
2511 * reconfiguration step. Also called when reconfiguring because the
2512 * driver's resume function returned 1, as this is just like an "inline"
2513 * hardware restart. This callback may sleep.
2515 * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
2516 * Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
2517 * This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
