/**
* DOC: Introduction
*
* mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
* only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
* defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
* drivers.
*/
/**
* DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
*
* Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
* called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
* other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
* call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
* IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
* tasklet function.
*
* NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
* use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
*/
/**
* DOC: Warning
*
* If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
* be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
*/
/**
* DOC: Frame format
*
* As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
* they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
* sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
* hardware.
*
* There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
*
* The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
* where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
*
* Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
* the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
*
* Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
* filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
* not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.
*/
/**
* DOC: mac80211 workqueue
*
* mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
* The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
* helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
* mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
*
* mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
* suspend.
*
* All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

*
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
* number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
* number and increasing the sequence number only when the
* IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
* assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
* for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
* that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
* If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
* assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
* 802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
* beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
* station
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
* @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
* because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
* avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
* firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
* went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
* the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
* that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
* since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
* hardware queue.
* @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
* @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
* is for the whole aggregation.
* @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
* so consider using block ack request (BAR).
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
* set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
* be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
* @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO: mac80211 internal flag, do not test or
* set this flag in the driver; indicates that the rate control
* algorithm was used and should be notified of TX status
* @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
* used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
* it can be sent out.
* @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
* used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
* @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
* used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PSPOLL_RESPONSE: (internal?)
* This frame is a response to a PS-poll frame and should be sent
* although the station is in powersave mode.
* @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
* transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
* by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
* queue gets full.

* The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
* device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
* decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
* for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
* the station information for the peer for individual keys.
* Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
* VLANs are configured for an access point.
*
* When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
* selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
* pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
*
* The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
* the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
* added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
* hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
*
* When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
*
* Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
* for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
* decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
* based on the receive flags.
*
* The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
* parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
* removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
* keys.
*

/**
* DOC: Powersave support
*
* mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
*
* First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by
* itself, such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
* hardware flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired
* powersave mode depending on the association status, and the driver
* must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary, i.e. when
* entering and leaving powersave mode. The driver is required to look at
* the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when it finds
* traffic directed to it. This mode supports dynamic PS by simply
* enabling/disabling PS.
*
* Additionally, such hardware may set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS
* flag to indicate that it can support dynamic PS mode itself (see below).
*
* Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
* need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
* by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
* %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
* required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
* waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
* as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow.
*
* Dynamic powersave mode is an extension to normal powersave mode in which
* the hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending
* a frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed
* to the next wakeup. This can either be supported by hardware, in which case
* the driver needs to look at the @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration
* value, or by the stack if all nullfunc handling is in the stack.
*/
/**
* DOC: Beacon filter support
*
* Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
* which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
* the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
* changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
* beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
* way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
* (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
*
* Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
* hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
* whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
* power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
* driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
*
* The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
* driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
* ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
* by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
*
* Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
* in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
* tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
* that we want to see changes in them. This will include
* - a list of information element IDs
* - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
*
* Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
* requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
* of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
* doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
* vendor information elements.
*
* Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
* elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
*
* Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
* that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
* information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
* the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
* 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
* it could also include some currently unused IDs.
*
*
* In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
* host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
* when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
* the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
* the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
* configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
* configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
* them as the roaming algorithm requires.
*
* If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
* periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
* signal strength threshold checking.
*/
/**
* DOC: Frame filtering
*
* mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
* operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
* in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
* having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
* desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
*
* To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
* the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
* passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
*
* Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
* callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
* for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
* It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
* configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
* arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
* @total_flags with the new flag states.
*
* If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
* need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
* parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted

*
* @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested

/**
* struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
*
* This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
* handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
* the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
*
* @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
* skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
* The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
* configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
* preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
* importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
* This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
* limited cases.
* Must be implemented and atomic.
*
* @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
* is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
* frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
* Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
* or zero.
* When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
* to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
* is added.
* Must be implemented.
*
* @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
* is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
* it must turn off frame reception.)
* May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
* an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
* you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
* Must be implemented.
*
* @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
* enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
* and @stop must be implemented.
* The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
* the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
* interface is given in the conf parameter.
* The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
* negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
* Must be implemented.
*
* @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
* The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
* and no monitor interfaces are present.
* When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
* must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
* the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
* MAC address of the device going away.
* Hence, this callback must be implemented.
*
* @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
* function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
* This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
* if it does.
*
* @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
* parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
* level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
* This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
* for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
* of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
*
* @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
* This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
* to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
*
* @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
* See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
* This callback must be implemented.
*
* @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
* must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
*
* @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
* This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
* and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
* is enabled.
* Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
*
* @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
* This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
* which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
*
* @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
* the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
* configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
* registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
* that power save is disabled.
* The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
* entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
* at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
* (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
* When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
* note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
* any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
*
* @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
* is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
*
* @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a software scan
* finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
*
* @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
* Returns zero if statistics are available.
*
* @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
* callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
* and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
*
* @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
*
* @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition, removal or power
* state transition of an associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.
* Must be atomic.
*
* @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
* bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
* Returns a negative error code on failure.
*
* @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
* to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
* size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
* (count). The 'stats' pointer points to an array that has hw->queues
* items.
*
* @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
* this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
* required function.
*
* @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
* Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
* required function.
*
* @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
* with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
* function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
* TSF synchronization.
*
* @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
* This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
* used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
* Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
*
* @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
* The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
* the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
* ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
* is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
* that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
* Returns a negative error code on failure.
*
* @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
* need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
* and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
*
* @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
