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.
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.

229 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
230 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
231 * number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
232 * number and increasing the sequence number only when the
233 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
234 * assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
235 * for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
236 * that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
237 * If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
238 * assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
239 * 802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
240 * beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
241 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
242 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
243 * station
244 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
245 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
246 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
247 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
248 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
249 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
250 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
251 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
252 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
253 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
254 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
255 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
256 * hardware queue.
257 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
258 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
259 * is for the whole aggregation.
260 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
261 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
262 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
263 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
264 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
265 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
266 * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
267 * it can be sent out.
268 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
269 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
270 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
271 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
272 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PSPOLL_RESPONSE: (internal?)
273 * This frame is a response to a PS-poll frame and should be sent
274 * although the station is in powersave mode.
275 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
276 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
277 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
278 * queue gets full.
279 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
280 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
281 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
282 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_HAS_RADIOTAP: This frame was injected and still
283 * has a radiotap header at skb->data.
284 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
285 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
286 * status to user space)
287 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
288 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
289 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.

1168 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
1170 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1171 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1173 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1174 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1175 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1176 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1177 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1178 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1179 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1181 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1182 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1183 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1185 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1186 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1187 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1188 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1190 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1192 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1193 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1194 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1195 * based on the receive flags.
1197 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1198 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1199 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1200 * keys.
1202 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1203 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1204 * handler.
1205 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1206 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1207 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1208 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1209 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1210 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
1214 * DOC: Powersave support
1216 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1218 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1219 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1220 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1221 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1222 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1223 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1224 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1225 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1227 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1228 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1229 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1230 * up the hardware before issueing commands to the hardware and putting it
1231 * back to sleep at approriate times.
1233 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1234 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1235 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1237 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1238 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1239 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1240 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1241 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1242 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1243 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1245 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1246 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1247 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1248 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1249 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1250 * periods.
1252 * Dynamic powersave is supported by simply mac80211 enabling and disabling
1253 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1254 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1255 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1256 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1257 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1258 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1259 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1260 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1261 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1263 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1264 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1265 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1266 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1267 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1268 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1270 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1271 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
1275 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1277 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1278 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1279 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1280 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1281 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1282 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1283 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1285 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1286 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1287 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1288 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1289 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1291 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1292 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1293 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1294 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1296 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1297 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1298 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1299 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1300 * - a list of information element IDs
1301 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1303 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1304 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1305 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1306 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1307 * vendor information elements.
1309 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1310 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1312 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1313 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1314 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1315 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1316 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1317 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1320 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1321 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1322 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1323 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1324 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1325 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1326 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1327 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1329 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1330 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1331 * signal strength threshold checking.
1335 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1337 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1338 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1339 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1340 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1342 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1343 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1344 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1345 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1346 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1347 * hardware flags.
1349 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1350 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1351 * turned off otherwise.
1353 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1354 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1355 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1356 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
1360 * DOC: Frame filtering
1362 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1363 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1364 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1365 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1366 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1368 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1369 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1370 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1372 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1373 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1374 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1375 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1376 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1377 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1378 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1380 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1381 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1382 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1383 * or dropped.
1385 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1386 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1387 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1388 * the flag, but not clear it.
1389 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1390 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1391 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1392 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1393 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1394 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1395 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1396 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
1400 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
1402 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
1403 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
1404 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
1405 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
1407 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
1408 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
1409 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
1411 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
1412 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
1413 * multicast address.
1415 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
1416 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
1418 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
1419 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
1421 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
1422 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
1423 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
1424 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
1425 * honour this flag if possible.
1427 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames (except for PS Poll), if PROMISC_IN_BSS
1428 * is not set then only those addressed to this station.
1430 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes
1432 * @FIF_PSPOLL: pass PS Poll frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then only

1512 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1513 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1514 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1516 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1517 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1518 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1519 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1520 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1521 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1522 * MAC address of the device going away.
1523 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
1525 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1526 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1527 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
1528 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
1530 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1531 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1532 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1533 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1534 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1535 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1536 * can sleep.
1538 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
1539 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
1540 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
1542 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1543 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1544 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
1546 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1547 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
1549 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1550 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
1551 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
1552 * is enabled.
1553 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
1554 * The callback can sleep.
1556 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1557 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1558 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1559 * The callback must be atomic.
1561 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1562 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1563 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1564 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
1565 * that power save is disabled.
1566 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1567 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1568 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1569 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1570 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1571 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1572 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
1573 * The callback can sleep.
1575 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1576 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1577 * The callback can sleep.
1579 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
1580 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
1581 * this notification.
1582 * The callback can sleep.
1584 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
1585 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
1586 * The callback can sleep.
1588 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1589 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1590 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1591 * The callback must be atomic.
1593 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1594 * The callback can sleep.
1596 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
1597 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1599 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
1600 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1602 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
1603 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Must be atomic.
1605 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1606 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
1607 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
1608 * The callback can sleep.
1610 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1611 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
1612 * required function.
1613 * The callback can sleep.
1615 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
1616 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
1617 * required function.
1618 * The callback can sleep.
1620 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1621 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1622 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1623 * TSF synchronization.
1624 * The callback can sleep.
1626 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1627 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1628 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1629 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
1630 * The callback can sleep.
1632 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1633 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1634 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1635 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1636 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
1637 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
1638 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
1639 * The callback must be atomic.
1641 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
1643 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
1644 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
1645 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
1646 * The callback can sleep.
1648 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
1649 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
1650 * accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
1652 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
1653 * The callback can sleep.
1655 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
1656 * that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
1657 * to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
1659 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
1660 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
1661 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
1662 * completion of the channel switch.
