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.

925 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
927 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
928 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
930 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
931 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
932 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
933 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
934 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
935 * be used only for transmission.
936 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
937 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
939 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
940 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
942 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
943 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
944 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
946 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
947 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
948 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
949 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
951 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
953 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
954 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
955 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
956 * based on the receive flags.
958 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
959 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
960 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
961 * keys.
963 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
964 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
965 * handler.
966 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
967 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
968 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
969 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
970 * provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
971 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
975 * DOC: Frame filtering
977 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
978 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
979 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
980 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
981 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
983 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
984 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
985 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
987 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
988 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
989 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
990 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
992 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
993 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
994 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
995 * or dropped.
997 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
998 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
999 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1000 * the flag, but not clear it.
1001 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1002 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1003 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1004 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1005 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1006 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1007 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1008 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
1012 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
1014 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
1015 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
1016 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
1017 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
1019 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
1020 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
1021 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
1023 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
1024 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
1025 * multicast address.
1027 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
1028 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
1030 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
1031 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
1033 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
1034 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
1035 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
1036 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
1037 * honour this flag if possible.

1091 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1092 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1093 * is added.
1094 * Must be implemented.
1096 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1097 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1098 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1099 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1100 * an interface.
1101 * Must be implemented.
1103 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1104 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
1105 * and @stop must be implemented.
1106 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1107 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1108 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1109 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1110 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1111 * Must be implemented.
1113 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1114 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1115 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1116 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1117 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1118 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1119 * MAC address of the device going away.
1120 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
1122 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1123 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1125 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
1126 * (e.g. BSSID changes.)
1128 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1129 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1130 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1131 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1132 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1133 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
1135 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1136 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1137 * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1139 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1140 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
1142 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1143 * This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1144 * and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
1145 * given local_address is enabled.
1147 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1148 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1149 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1151 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1152 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1153 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's registered
1154 * bands. When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be
1155 * called; note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish
1156 * because the hardware is turned off! Anything else is a bug!
1158 * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
1160 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1161 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1162 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1164 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1166 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
1167 * the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
1168 * the stack will not do fragmentation.
1170 * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
1172 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
1173 * of assocaited station or AP.
1175 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1176 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
1178 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1179 * to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1180 * size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1181 * (count). The 'stats' pointer points to an array that has hw->queues +
1182 * hw->ampdu_queues items.
1184 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1185 * this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
1186 * required function. Must be atomic.
1188 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1189 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1190 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1191 * TSF synchronization.
1193 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1194 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1195 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1197 * @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
1199 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1200 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1201 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1202 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1203 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. notice
1204 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.

1572 * frames when power saving is used, 802.11 code buffers them in the host
1573 * memory. The low-level driver uses this function to fetch next buffered
1574 * frame. In most cases, this is used when generating beacon frame. This
1575 * function returns a pointer to the next buffered skb or NULL if no more
1576 * buffered frames are available.
1578 * Note: buffered frames are returned only after DTIM beacon frame was
1579 * generated with ieee80211_beacon_get() and the low-level driver must thus
1580 * call ieee80211_beacon_get() first. ieee80211_get_buffered_bc() returns
1581 * NULL if the previous generated beacon was not DTIM, so the low-level driver
1582 * does not need to check for DTIM beacons separately and should be able to
1583 * use common code for all beacons.
