26 * DOC: Introduction
28 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
29 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
30 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
31 * drivers.
34 /**
35 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
37 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
38 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
39 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
40 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
41 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
42 * tasklet function.
44 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
45 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
48 /**
49 * DOC: Warning
51 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
52 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
55 /**
56 * DOC: Frame format
58 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
59 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
60 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
61 * hardware.
63 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
65 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
66 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
68 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
69 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
71 * Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
72 * filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
73 * not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.

239 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
240 * number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
241 * number and increasing the sequence number only when the

247 * assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
248 * 802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for

879 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
881 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
882 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
884 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
885 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
886 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
887 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
888 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
889 * be used only for transmission.
890 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
891 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
893 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
894 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
896 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
897 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
898 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
900 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
901 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
902 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
903 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
905 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
907 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
908 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
909 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
910 * based on the receive flags.
912 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
913 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
914 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
915 * keys.
917 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
918 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
919 * handler.
920 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
921 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
922 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
923 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
924 * provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
925 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
929 * DOC: Frame filtering
931 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
932 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
933 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
934 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
935 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
937 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
938 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
939 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
941 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
942 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
943 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
944 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
946 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
947 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
948 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
949 * or dropped.
951 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
952 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
953 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
954 * the flag, but not clear it.
955 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
956 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
957 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
958 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
959 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
960 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
961 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
962 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
966 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
968 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
969 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
970 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
971 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
973 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
974 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
975 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
977 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
978 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
979 * multicast address.
981 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
982 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
984 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
985 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
987 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
988 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
989 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
990 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
991 * honour this flag if possible.
993 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then
994 * only those addressed to this station

1032 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1033 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1034 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1035 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1036 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1037 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
1038 * Must be implemented and atomic.
1040 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1041 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1042 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1043 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1044 * or zero.
1045 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1046 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1047 * is added.
1048 * Must be implemented.
1050 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1051 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1052 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1053 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1054 * an interface.
1055 * Must be implemented.
1057 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1058 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
1059 * and @stop must be implemented.
1060 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1061 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1062 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1063 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1064 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1065 * Must be implemented.
1067 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1068 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1069 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1070 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1071 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1072 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1073 * MAC address of the device going away.
1074 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
1076 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1077 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1079 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces

1086 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1087 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
1089 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1090 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1091 * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1093 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
1094 * generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
1095 * mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
1096 * for a given AID. Must be atomic.
1098 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1099 * This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1100 * and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
1101 * given local_address is enabled.
1103 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1104 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1105 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1107 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1108 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1109 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's registered
1110 * bands.
1112 * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
1114 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1115 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1116 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1118 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1120 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
1121 * the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
1122 * the stack will not do fragmentation.
1124 * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
1126 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
1127 * of assocaited station or AP.
1129 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1130 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue. Must be atomic.
1132 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1133 * to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1134 * size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1135 * (count). The 'stats' pointer points to an array that has hw->queues +
1136 * hw->ampdu_queues items.
1138 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1139 * this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
1140 * required function. Must be atomic.
1142 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1143 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1144 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1145 * TSF synchronization.
1147 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1148 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1149 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1151 * @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
1153 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1154 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1155 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1156 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1157 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. notice
1158 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
