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 function.
44 /**
45 * DOC: Warning
47 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
48 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
51 /**
52 * DOC: Frame format
54 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
55 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
56 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
57 * hardware.
59 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
61 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
62 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
64 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
65 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
67 * Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
68 * filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
69 * not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.

735 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
737 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
738 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
740 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
741 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
742 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
743 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
744 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
745 * be used only for transmission.
746 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
747 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
749 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
750 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
752 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
753 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
754 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
756 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
757 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
758 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
759 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
761 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
763 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
764 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
765 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
766 * based on the receive flags.
768 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
769 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
770 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
771 * keys.
775 * DOC: Frame filtering
777 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
778 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
779 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
780 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
781 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
783 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
784 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
785 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
787 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
788 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
789 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
790 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
792 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
793 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
794 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
795 * or dropped.
797 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared, i.e. you
798 * should clear all bits except those you honoured.
802 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
804 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
805 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
806 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
807 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
809 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
810 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
811 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
813 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
814 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
815 * multicast address.
817 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
818 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
820 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
821 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
823 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
824 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
825 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
826 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
827 * honour this flag if possible.
829 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then
830 * only those addressed to this station
832 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes

859 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
861 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
862 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
863 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
865 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
866 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
867 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
868 * configuration in the TX control data. Must be implemented and
869 * atomic.
871 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
872 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
873 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
874 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
875 * or zero.
876 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
877 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
878 * is added.
879 * Must be implemented.
881 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
882 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
883 * it must turn off frame reception.)
884 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
885 * an interface.
886 * Must be implemented.
888 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
889 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
890 * and @stop must be implemented.
891 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
892 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
893 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
894 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
895 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
896 * Must be implemented.
898 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
899 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
900 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
901 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
902 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
903 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
904 * MAC address of the device going away.
905 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
907 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
908 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
910 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
911 * (e.g. BSSID changes.)
913 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
914 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
915 * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
917 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
918 * generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
919 * mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
920 * for a given AID. Must be atomic.
922 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
923 * This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
924 * and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
925 * given local_address is enabled.
927 * @set_ieee8021x: Enable/disable IEEE 802.1X. This item requests wlan card
928 * to pass unencrypted EAPOL-Key frames even when encryption is
929 * configured. If the wlan card does not require such a configuration,
930 * this function pointer can be set to NULL.
932 * @set_port_auth: Set port authorization state (IEEE 802.1X PAE) to be
933 * authorized (@authorized=1) or unauthorized (=0). This function can be
934 * used if the wlan hardware or low-level driver implements PAE.
935 * mac80211 will filter frames based on authorization state in any case,
936 * so this function pointer can be NULL if low-level driver does not
937 * require event notification about port state changes.
939 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
940 * the scan state machine in stack.
942 * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
944 * @set_privacy_invoked: For devices that generate their own beacons and probe
945 * response or association responses this updates the state of privacy_invoked
946 * returns 0 for success or an error number.
948 * @get_sequence_counter: For devices that have internal sequence counters this
949 * callback allows mac80211 to access the current value of a counter.
950 * This callback seems not well-defined, tell us if you need it.
952 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
954 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
955 * the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
956 * the stack will not do fragmentation.
958 * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
960 * @sta_table_notification: Number of STAs in STA table notification. Must
961 * be atomic.
963 * @erp_ie_changed: Handle ERP IE change notifications. Must be atomic.
965 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
966 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue. The @queue parameter uses the
967 * %IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_* constants. Must be atomic.
969 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
970 * to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
971 * size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
972 * (count). This information is used for WMM to find out which TX
973 * queues have room for more packets and by hostapd to provide
974 * statistics about the current queueing state to external programs.
976 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
977 * this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
978 * required function. Must be atomic.
980 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
981 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
982 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
983 * TSF synchronization.
985 * @beacon_update: Setup beacon data for IBSS beacons. Unlike access point,
986 * IBSS uses a fixed beacon frame which is configured using this
987 * function. This handler is required only for IBSS mode.
989 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
990 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
991 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
