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
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
44 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
45 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
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.
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
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.
73 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
75 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
76 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
77 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
78 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
80 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
83 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.
88 * DOC: mac80211 software tx queueing
90 * mac80211 provides an optional intermediate queueing implementation designed
91 * to allow the driver to keep hardware queues short and provide some fairness
92 * between different stations/interfaces.
93 * In this model, the driver pulls data frames from the mac80211 queue instead
94 * of letting mac80211 push them via drv_tx().
95 * Other frames (e.g. control or management) are still pushed using drv_tx().
97 * Drivers indicate that they use this model by implementing the .wake_tx_queue
100 * Intermediate queues (struct ieee80211_txq) are kept per-sta per-tid, with a
101 * single per-vif queue for multicast data frames.
103 * The driver is expected to initialize its private per-queue data for stations
104 * and interfaces in the .add_interface and .sta_add ops.
106 * The driver can't access the queue directly. To dequeue a frame, it calls
107 * ieee80211_tx_dequeue(). Whenever mac80211 adds a new frame to a queue, it
108 * calls the .wake_tx_queue driver op.
110 * For AP powersave TIM handling, the driver only needs to indicate if it has
111 * buffered packets in the driver specific data structures by calling
112 * ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(). For frames buffered in the ieee80211_txq
113 * struct, mac80211 sets the appropriate TIM PVB bits and calls
114 * .release_buffered_frames().
115 * In that callback the driver is therefore expected to release its own
116 * buffered frames and afterwards also frames from the ieee80211_txq (obtained
117 * via the usual ieee80211_tx_dequeue).

569 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
570 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
571 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
572 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
573 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
574 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
575 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
576 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
577 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
579 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
580 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
581 * is for the whole aggregation.
582 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
583 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
584 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
585 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
586 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
587 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK: Internal to mac80211. Used to indicate
588 * that a frame can be transmitted while the queues are stopped for
589 * off-channel operation.
590 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
591 * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
592 * it can be sent out.
593 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
594 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
595 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
596 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
597 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
598 * frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
599 * be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
600 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
601 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
602 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
604 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
605 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
606 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
607 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_MLME_CONN_TX: This frame was transmitted by the MLME
608 * code for connection establishment, this indicates that its status
609 * should kick the MLME state machine.
610 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
611 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
612 * status to user space)
613 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
614 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
615 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
616 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
617 * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
618 * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
619 * handled properly by the device.
620 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
621 * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
622 * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
623 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
624 * This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
625 * frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
626 * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
627 * when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
628 * an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
629 * the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
631 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
632 * This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
633 * the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
634 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
635 * would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
636 * monitor injection).
637 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_NOACK_TRANSMITTED: A frame that was marked with
638 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK has been successfully transmitted without
639 * any errors (like issues specific to the driver/HW).
640 * This flag must not be set for frames that don't request no-ack
641 * behaviour with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK.
643 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
644 * forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

1776 * Some wireless LAN chipsets buffer broadcast/multicast frames
1777 * for power saving stations in the hardware/firmware and others
1778 * rely on the host system for such buffering. This option is used
1779 * to configure the IEEE 802.11 upper layer to buffer broadcast and

1784 * Hardware can provide signal values but we don't know its units. We

1788 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM:
1789 * Hardware gives signal values in dBm, decibel difference from

1828 * to decrypt group addressed frames, then IBSS RSN support is still
1829 * possible but software crypto will be used. Advertise the wiphy flag
1830 * only in that case.
1832 * @IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS: When operating in AP mode the device
1833 * autonomously manages the PS status of connected stations. When
1834 * this flag is set mac80211 will not trigger PS mode for connected

1844 * a virtual monitor interface when monitor interfaces are the only
1845 * active interfaces.
1847 * @IEEE80211_HW_NO_AUTO_VIF: The driver would like for no wlanX to
1848 * be created. It is expected user-space will create vifs as
1849 * desired (and thus have them named as desired).
1851 * @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL: The driver wants to control which of the
1852 * crypto algorithms can be done in software - so don't automatically
1853 * try to fall back to it if hardware crypto fails, but do so only if
1854 * the driver returns 1. This also forces the driver to advertise its
1855 * supported cipher suites.
1857 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORT_FAST_XMIT: The driver/hardware supports fast-xmit,
1858 * this currently requires only the ability to calculate the duration
1861 * @IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL: The driver wants to control per-interface
1862 * queue mapping in order to use different queues (not just one per AC)
1863 * for different virtual interfaces. See the doc section on HW queue
1864 * control for more details.
1866 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE: The driver supports using a rate
1867 * selection table provided by the rate control algorithm.
1869 * @IEEE80211_HW_P2P_DEV_ADDR_FOR_INTF: Use the P2P Device address for any
1870 * P2P Interface. This will be honoured even if more than one interface
1873 * @IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY: Use sync timing from beacon frames
1874 * only, to allow getting TBTT of a DTIM beacon.
1876 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_HT_CCK_RATES: Hardware supports mixing HT/CCK rates
1877 * and can cope with CCK rates in an aggregation session (e.g. by not
1878 * using aggregation for such frames.)
1880 * @IEEE80211_HW_CHANCTX_STA_CSA: Support 802.11h based channel-switch (CSA)

2185 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
2187 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
2188 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
2190 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
2191 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
2192 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
2193 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
2194 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
2195 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
2196 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
2198 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
2199 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
2200 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
2202 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
2203 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
2204 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
2205 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
2207 * Note that in the case that the @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL flag is
2208 * set, mac80211 will not automatically fall back to software crypto if
2209 * enabling hardware crypto failed. The set_key() call may also return the
2210 * value 1 to permit this specific key/algorithm to be done in software.
2212 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
2214 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
2215 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
2216 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
2217 * based on the receive flags.
2219 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
2220 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
2221 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
2224 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
2225 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
2227 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
2228 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
2229 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
2230 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
2231 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
2232 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
2234 * The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index
2235 * configured to the hardware for WEP encryption type. This is required
2236 * for devices that support offload of data packets (e.g. ARP responses).
2240 * DOC: Powersave support
2242 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
2244 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
2245 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
2246 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
2247 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
2248 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
2249 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
2250 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
2251 * it finds traffic directed to it.
2253 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
2254 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
2255 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
2256 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
2257 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
2259 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
2260 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
2261 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
2263 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
2264 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
2265 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
2266 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
2267 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
2268 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
2269 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
2271 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
2272 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
2273 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
2274 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
2275 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
2278 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
2279 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
2280 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
2281 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
2282 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
2283 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
2284 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
2285 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
2286 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
2287 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
2289 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
2290 * %IEEE80211_VIF_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
2291 * uapsd parameter in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
2292 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
2293 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
2294 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
2296 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
2297 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
2301 * DOC: Beacon filter support
2303 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
2304 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
2305 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
2306 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
2307 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
2308 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
2309 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
2311 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
2312 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
2313 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
2314 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
2315 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
2317 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
2318 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
2319 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
2320 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
2322 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
2323 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
2324 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
2325 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
2326 * - a list of information element IDs
2327 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
2329 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
2330 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
2331 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
2332 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
2333 * vendor information elements.
2335 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
2336 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
2338 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
2339 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
2340 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
2341 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
2342 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
2343 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
2346 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
2347 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
2348 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
2349 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
2350 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
2351 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
2352 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
2353 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
2355 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
2356 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
2357 * signal strength threshold checking.
2361 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
2363 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
2364 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
2365 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
2366 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
2368 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
2369 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
2370 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
2371 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
2372 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
2375 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
2376 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
2377 * turned off otherwise.
2379 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
2380 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
2381 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
2382 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
2386 * DOC: Frame filtering
2388 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
2389 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
2390 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
2391 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
2392 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
2394 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
2395 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
2396 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
2398 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
2399 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
2400 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
2401 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
2402 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
2403 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
2404 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
2406 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
2407 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
2408 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
2411 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
2412 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
2413 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
2414 * the flag, but not clear it.
2415 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
2416 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
2417 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
2418 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
2419 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
2420 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
2421 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
2422 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
2426 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
2428 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
2429 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
2430 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
2432 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
2433 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
2434 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
2435 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
2438 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
2439 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
2440 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
2441 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
2442 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
2443 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
2444 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
2446 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
2447 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
2448 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
2449 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
2450 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
2451 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
2452 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
2453 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
2454 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
2455 * @sta_notify callback.
2457 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
2458 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
2459 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
2460 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
2461 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
2462 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
2463 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
2464 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
2465 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
2466 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
2467 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
2468 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
2469 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
2470 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
2472 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
2473 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
2475 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
2476 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
2477 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
2478 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
2479 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
2480 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
2481 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
2482 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
2483 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
2484 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
2485 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
2487 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
2488 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
2489 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
2490 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
2491 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
2492 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
2493 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
2494 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
2495 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
2496 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
2497 * to help the @more_data parameter is passed to tell the driver if
2498 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
2499 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
2500 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
2502 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
2503 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
2504 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
2505 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
2506 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
2507 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp()
2508 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
2510 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
2511 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
2512 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
2513 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
2514 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp() in this case.
2516 * Note that if the driver ever buffers frames other than QoS-data
2517 * frames, it must take care to never send a non-QoS-data frame as
2518 * the last frame in a service period, adding a QoS-nulldata frame
2519 * after a non-QoS-data frame if needed.
2523 * DOC: HW queue control
2525 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
2526 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
2527 * was problematic for a few reasons:
2528 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
2529 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
2530 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
2532 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
2533 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
2534 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
2536 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
2537 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
2538 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
2539 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
2540 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
2541 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
2542 * the hardware queue.
2543 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
2544 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
2546 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
2547 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
2548 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
2549 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
2550 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
2552 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
2553 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
2554 * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
2555 * off-channel queue: 9
2557 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
2558 * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
2560 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
2561 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
2562 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
2563 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
2564 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
2565 * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
2566 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
2568 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
2569 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
2571 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
2572 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
2573 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
2574 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.
2578 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
2580 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
2581 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
2582 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
2583 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
2585 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
2586 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
2587 * multicast address.
2589 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
2590 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
2592 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
2593 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
2595 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
2596 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
2597 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
2598 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
2599 * honour this flag if possible.
2601 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames (except for PS Poll) addressed to this
2604 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes
2606 * @FIF_PSPOLL: pass PS Poll frames
2608 * @FIF_PROBE_REQ: pass probe request frames

2627 * Note that drivers MUST be able to deal with a TX aggregation
2628 * session being stopped even before they OK'ed starting it by

2637 * queued packets, now unaggregated. After all packets are transmitted the
2638 * driver has to call ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
2639 * @IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH: stop TX aggregation and flush all packets,
2640 * called when the station is removed. There's no need or reason to call
2641 * ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() in this case as mac80211 assumes the
2642 * session is gone and removes the station.
2643 * @IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT: called when TX aggregation is stopped
2644 * but the driver hasn't called ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() yet and
2645 * now the connection is dropped and the station will be removed. Drivers
2646 * should clean up and drop remaining packets when this is called.

2725 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
2727 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
2728 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
2729 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
2731 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
2732 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
2733 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
2734 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
2735 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
2738 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
2739 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
2740 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
2741 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
2743 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
2744 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
2746 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2748 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
2749 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
2750 * it must turn off frame reception.)
2751 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
2752 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
2753 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
2754 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2756 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
2757 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
2758 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
2759 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
2760 * reconfigured at resume time.
2761 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
2762 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
2763 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
2764 * must return 1 from this function.
2766 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
2767 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
2768 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
2769 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
2770 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
2772 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
2773 * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
2774 * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
2777 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
2778 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
2779 * and @stop must be implemented.
2780 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
2781 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
2782 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
2783 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
2784 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
2785 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2787 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
2788 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
2789 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
2790 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
2791 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
2793 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
2794 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
2795 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
2796 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
2797 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
2798 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
2799 * MAC address of the device going away.
2800 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
2802 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
2803 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
2804 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
2805 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
2807 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
2808 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
2809 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
2810 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
2811 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
2812 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
2815 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
2816 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
2817 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
2819 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
2820 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
2821 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
2823 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
2824 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
2826 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2827 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
2828 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
2830 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
2831 * The callback can sleep.
2833 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2834 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
2835 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
2836 * The callback must be atomic.
2838 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
2839 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
2840 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
2841 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
2842 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
2844 * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
2845 * WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
2846 * offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
2848 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
2849 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
2850 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
2851 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
2852 * that power save is disabled.
2853 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
2854 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
2855 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
2856 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
2857 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
2858 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
2859 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
2860 * The callback can sleep.
2862 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
2863 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
2864 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
2865 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
2866 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
2867 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
2868 * The callback can sleep.
2870 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
2871 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
2872 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
2873 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
2875 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
2876 * In this case, ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() must not be called.
2878 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
2879 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
2880 * The mac_addr parameter allows supporting NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR,
2881 * the driver may set the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR flag if it
2882 * can use this parameter. The callback can sleep.
2884 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
2885 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
2886 * this notification.
2887 * The callback can sleep.
2889 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
2890 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
2891 * The callback can sleep.
2893 * @get_key_seq: If your device implements encryption in hardware and does
2894 * IV/PN assignment then this callback should be provided to read the
2895 * IV/PN for the given key from hardware.
2896 * The callback must be atomic.
2898 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
2899 * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
2900 * implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
2901 * The callback can sleep.
2903 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
2904 * The callback can sleep.
2906 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
2907 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2909 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
2910 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Note that after the callback
2911 * returns it isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected;
2912 * no RCU grace period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing
2913 * the station. See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
2914 * This callback can sleep.
2916 * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
2917 * when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
2918 * and @sta_remove_debugfs should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS
2919 * conditional. This callback can sleep.
2921 * @sta_remove_debugfs: Remove the debugfs files which were added using
2922 * @sta_add_debugfs. This callback can sleep.
2924 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
2925 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
2926 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
2927 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
2929 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
2930 * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
2931 * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
2932 * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
2933 * up the list of states. Also note that after the callback returns it
2934 * isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected - no RCU grace
2935 * period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing the station.
2936 * See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
2937 * The callback can sleep.
2939 * @sta_pre_rcu_remove: Notify driver about station removal before RCU
2940 * synchronisation. This is useful if a driver needs to have station
2941 * pointers protected using RCU, it can then use this call to clear
2942 * the pointers instead of waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse
2944 * The callback can sleep.
2946 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
2947 * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
2948 * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
2949 * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
2950 * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
2951 * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
2953 * @sta_rate_tbl_update: Notifies the driver that the rate table changed. This
2954 * is only used if the configured rate control algorithm actually uses
2955 * the new rate table API, and is therefore optional. Must be atomic.
2957 * @sta_statistics: Get statistics for this station. For example with beacon
2958 * filtering, the statistics kept by mac80211 might not be accurate, so
2959 * let the driver pre-fill the statistics. The driver can fill most of
2960 * the values (indicating which by setting the filled bitmap), but not
2961 * all of them make sense - see the source for which ones are possible.
2962 * Statistics that the driver doesn't fill will be filled by mac80211.
2963 * The callback can sleep.
2965 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
2966 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
2967 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
2968 * The callback can sleep.
2970 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
2971 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
2972 * required function.
2973 * The callback can sleep.
2975 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
2976 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
2977 * required function.
2978 * The callback can sleep.
2980 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
2981 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
2982 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
2983 * TSF synchronization.
2984 * The callback can sleep.
2986 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
2987 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
2988 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
2989 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
2990 * The callback can sleep.
2992 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
2993 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
2994 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
2995 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
2996 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
2997 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
2998 * The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
2999 * %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
3000 * buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
3001 * may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
3002 * nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
3003 * buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
3004 * possible with a buf_size of 8:
3006 * - RX: 2....7 (lost frame #1)
3008 * which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
3009 * buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
3010 * - TX: 1 or 18 or 81
3011 * Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
3013 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
3014 * The callback can sleep.
3016 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
3018 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
3019 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
3020 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
3021 * The callback can sleep.
3023 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
3024 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
3025 * accordingly; coverage class equals to -1 to enable ACK timeout
3026 * estimation algorithm (dynack). To disable dynack set valid value for
3027 * coverage class. This callback is not required and may sleep.
3029 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command. The passed @vif may
3030 * be %NULL. The callback can sleep.
3031 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
3033 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
3034 * that the hardware queues are empty. The @queues parameter is a bitmap
3035 * of queues to flush, which is useful if different virtual interfaces
3036 * use different hardware queues; it may also indicate all queues.
3037 * If the parameter @drop is set to %true, pending frames may be dropped.
3038 * Note that vif can be NULL.
3039 * The callback can sleep.
3041 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
3042 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
3043 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
3044 * completion of the channel switch.
3046 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
3047 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
3048 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
3049 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
3051 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
3053 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
3054 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
3055 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
3056 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
3057 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
3058 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
3059 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
3060 * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
3061 * must be accepted in this case.
3062 * This callback may sleep.
3063 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
3064 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
3066 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
3068 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
3070 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
3071 * queues before entering power save.
3073 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
3074 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
3075 * The callback can sleep.
3076 * @event_callback: Notify driver about any event in mac80211. See
3077 * &enum ieee80211_event_type for the different types.
3078 * The callback must be atomic.
3080 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
3081 * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
3082 * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
3083 * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
3084 * Note that if the @more_data parameter is %false the driver must check
3085 * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
3086 * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
3087 * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
3088 * more-data bit must always be set.
3089 * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
3090 * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
3091 * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
3092 * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
3093 * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
3094 * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
3095 * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
3096 * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
3097 * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
3098 * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
3099 * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
3100 * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
3101 * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
3102 * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
3103 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
3104 * This callback must be atomic.
3105 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
3106 * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
3107 * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
3108 * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
3109 * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
3110 * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
3111 * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
3112 * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
3113 * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
3114 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() function.
3115 * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
3116 * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
3117 * This callback must be atomic.
3119 * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
3121 * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
3123 * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
3124 * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
3126 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
3127 * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
3128 * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
3129 * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
3130 * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
3131 * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
3132 * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
3133 * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
3134 * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
3135 * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
3136 * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
3137 * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
3139 * @mgd_protect_tdls_discover: Protect a TDLS discovery session. After sending
3140 * a TDLS discovery-request, we expect a reply to arrive on the AP's
3141 * channel. We must stay on the channel (no PSM, scan, etc.), since a TDLS
3142 * setup-response is a direct packet not buffered by the AP.
3143 * mac80211 will call this function just before the transmission of a TDLS
3144 * discovery-request. The recommended period of protection is at least
3145 * 2 * (DTIM period).
3146 * The callback is optional and can sleep.
3148 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
3149 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
3150 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
3151 * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
3152 * channel context with different settings
3153 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
3154 * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
3155 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
3157 * @switch_vif_chanctx: switch a number of vifs from one chanctx to
3158 * another, as specified in the list of
3159 * @ieee80211_vif_chanctx_switch passed to the driver, according
3160 * to the mode defined in &ieee80211_chanctx_switch_mode.
3162 * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
3163 * information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
3164 * context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
3165 * software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
3166 * just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
3167 * disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
3168 * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
3170 * @reconfig_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw() and
3171 * during resume, when the reconfiguration has completed.
3172 * This can help the driver implement the reconfiguration step (and
3173 * indicate mac80211 is ready to receive frames).
3174 * This callback may sleep.
3176 * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
3177 * Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
3178 * This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
3180 * @channel_switch_beacon: Starts a channel switch to a new channel.
3181 * Beacons are modified to include CSA or ECSA IEs before calling this
3182 * function. The corresponding count fields in these IEs must be
3183 * decremented, and when they reach 1 the driver must call
3184 * ieee80211_csa_finish(). Drivers which use ieee80211_beacon_get()
3185 * get the csa counter decremented by mac80211, but must check if it is
3186 * 1 using ieee80211_csa_is_complete() after the beacon has been
3187 * transmitted and then call ieee80211_csa_finish().
3188 * If the CSA count starts as zero or 1, this function will not be called,
3189 * since there won't be any time to beacon before the switch anyway.
3190 * @pre_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3191 * before a channel switch procedure is started (ie. when a STA
3192 * gets a CSA or an userspace initiated channel-switch), allowing
3193 * the driver to prepare for the channel switch.
3194 * @post_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3195 * after a channel switch procedure is completed, allowing the
3196 * driver to go back to a normal configuration.
3198 * @join_ibss: Join an IBSS (on an IBSS interface); this is called after all
3199 * information in bss_conf is set up and the beacon can be retrieved. A
3200 * channel context is bound before this is called.
3201 * @leave_ibss: Leave the IBSS again.
3203 * @get_expected_throughput: extract the expected throughput towards the
3204 * specified station. The returned value is expressed in Kbps. It returns 0
3205 * if the RC algorithm does not have proper data to provide.
3207 * @get_txpower: get current maximum tx power (in dBm) based on configuration
3208 * and hardware limits.
3210 * @tdls_channel_switch: Start channel-switching with a TDLS peer. The driver
3211 * is responsible for continually initiating channel-switching operations
3212 * and returning to the base channel for communication with the AP. The
3213 * driver receives a channel-switch request template and the location of
3214 * the switch-timing IE within the template as part of the invocation.
3215 * The template is valid only within the call, and the driver can
3216 * optionally copy the skb for further re-use.
3217 * @tdls_cancel_channel_switch: Stop channel-switching with a TDLS peer. Both
3218 * peers must be on the base channel when the call completes.
3219 * @tdls_recv_channel_switch: a TDLS channel-switch related frame (request or
3220 * response) has been received from a remote peer. The driver gets
3221 * parameters parsed from the incoming frame and may use them to continue
3222 * an ongoing channel-switch operation. In addition, a channel-switch
3223 * response template is provided, together with the location of the
3224 * switch-timing IE within the template. The skb can only be used within
3225 * the function call.
3227 * @wake_tx_queue: Called when new packets have been added to the queue.

4423 * RX processing, so this function allows setting them.
4425 * The function returns the newly allocated key structure, which will
4426 * have similar contents to the passed key configuration but point to
4427 * mac80211-owned memory. In case of errors, the function returns an
4428 * ERR_PTR(), use IS_ERR() etc.
4430 * Note that this function assumes the key isn't added to hardware
4431 * acceleration, so no TX will be done with the key. Since it's a GTK
4432 * on managed (station) networks, this is true anyway. If the driver
4433 * calls this function from the resume callback and subsequently uses
4434 * the return code 1 to reconfigure the device, this key will be part
4435 * of the reconfiguration.
4437 * Note that the driver should also call ieee80211_set_key_rx_seq()
