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-irqsafe 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.

827 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
829 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
830 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
832 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
833 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
834 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
835 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
836 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
837 * be used only for transmission.
838 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
839 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
841 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
842 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
844 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
845 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
846 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
848 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
849 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
850 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
851 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
853 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
855 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
856 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
857 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
858 * based on the receive flags.
860 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
861 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
862 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
863 * keys.
865 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
866 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
867 * handler.
868 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
869 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
870 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
871 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
872 * provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
873 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
877 * DOC: Frame filtering
879 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
880 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
881 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
882 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
883 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
885 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
886 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
887 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
889 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
890 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
891 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
892 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
894 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
895 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
896 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
897 * or dropped.
899 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
900 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
901 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
902 * the flag, but not clear it.
903 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
904 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
905 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
906 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
907 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
908 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
909 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
910 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
914 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
916 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
917 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
918 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
919 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
921 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
922 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
923 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
925 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
926 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
927 * multicast address.
929 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
930 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
932 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
933 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
935 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
936 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
937 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
938 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
939 * honour this flag if possible.
941 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then
942 * only those addressed to this station
944 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes

976 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
977 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
978 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
980 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
981 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
982 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
983 * configuration in the TX control data. Must be implemented and
984 * atomic.
986 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
987 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
988 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
989 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
990 * or zero.
991 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
992 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
993 * is added.
994 * Must be implemented.
996 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
997 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
998 * it must turn off frame reception.)
999 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1000 * an interface.
1001 * Must be implemented.
1003 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1004 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
1005 * and @stop must be implemented.
1006 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1007 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1008 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1009 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1010 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1011 * Must be implemented.
1013 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1014 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1015 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1016 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1017 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1018 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1019 * MAC address of the device going away.
1020 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
1022 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1023 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1025 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
1026 * (e.g. BSSID changes.)
1028 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1029 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1030 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1031 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1032 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1033 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
1035 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1036 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1037 * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1039 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
1040 * generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
1041 * mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
1042 * for a given AID. Must be atomic.
1044 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1045 * This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1046 * and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
1047 * given local_address is enabled.
1049 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1050 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1051 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1053 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1054 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1055 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's registered
1056 * bands.
1058 * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
1060 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1061 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1062 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1064 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1066 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
1067 * the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
1068 * the stack will not do fragmentation.
1070 * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
1072 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
1073 * of assocaited station or AP.
1075 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1076 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue. Must be atomic.
1078 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1079 * to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1080 * size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue

1085 * this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
1086 * required function. Must be atomic.

1108 * @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
1110 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1111 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1112 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
