32 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
33 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
34 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
39 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
41 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
42 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
43 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
44 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
45 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
48 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
49 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
55 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
56 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
62 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
63 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
64 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
67 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
69 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
70 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
72 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
73 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
77 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
79 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
80 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
81 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
82 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
84 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
87 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.
92 * DOC: mac80211 software tx queueing
94 * mac80211 provides an optional intermediate queueing implementation designed
95 * to allow the driver to keep hardware queues short and provide some fairness
96 * between different stations/interfaces.
97 * In this model, the driver pulls data frames from the mac80211 queue instead
98 * of letting mac80211 push them via drv_tx().
99 * Other frames (e.g. control or management) are still pushed using drv_tx().
101 * Drivers indicate that they use this model by implementing the .wake_tx_queue
104 * Intermediate queues (struct ieee80211_txq) are kept per-sta per-tid, with a
105 * single per-vif queue for multicast data frames.
107 * The driver is expected to initialize its private per-queue data for stations
108 * and interfaces in the .add_interface and .sta_add ops.
110 * The driver can't access the queue directly. To dequeue a frame, it calls
111 * ieee80211_tx_dequeue(). Whenever mac80211 adds a new frame to a queue, it
112 * calls the .wake_tx_queue driver op.
114 * For AP powersave TIM handling, the driver only needs to indicate if it has
115 * buffered packets in the driver specific data structures by calling
116 * ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(). For frames buffered in the ieee80211_txq
117 * struct, mac80211 sets the appropriate TIM PVB bits and calls
118 * .release_buffered_frames().
119 * In that callback the driver is therefore expected to release its own
120 * buffered frames and afterwards also frames from the ieee80211_txq (obtained
121 * via the usual ieee80211_tx_dequeue).

617 * enum mac80211_tx_info_flags - flags to describe transmission information/status
619 * These flags are used with the @flags member of &ieee80211_tx_info.
621 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
622 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
623 * number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
624 * number and increasing the sequence number only when the
625 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
626 * assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
627 * for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
628 * that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
629 * If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
630 * assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
631 * 802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
632 * beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
633 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
634 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
636 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
637 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
638 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
639 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
640 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
641 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
642 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
643 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
644 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
645 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
646 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
647 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
649 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
650 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
651 * is for the whole aggregation.
652 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
653 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
654 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
655 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
656 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
657 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK: Internal to mac80211. Used to indicate
658 * that a frame can be transmitted while the queues are stopped for
659 * off-channel operation.
660 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
661 * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
662 * it can be sent out.
663 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
664 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
665 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
666 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
667 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
668 * frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
669 * be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
670 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
671 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
672 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
674 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
675 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
676 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
677 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_MLME_CONN_TX: This frame was transmitted by the MLME
678 * code for connection establishment, this indicates that its status
679 * should kick the MLME state machine.
680 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
681 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
682 * status to user space)
683 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
684 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
685 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
686 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
687 * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
688 * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
689 * handled properly by the device.
690 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
691 * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
692 * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
693 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
694 * This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
695 * frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
696 * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
697 * when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
698 * an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
699 * the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
701 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
702 * This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
703 * the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
704 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
705 * would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
706 * monitor injection).
707 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_NOACK_TRANSMITTED: A frame that was marked with
708 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK has been successfully transmitted without
709 * any errors (like issues specific to the driver/HW).
710 * This flag must not be set for frames that don't request no-ack
711 * behaviour with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK.
713 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
714 * forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

1059 * enum mac80211_rx_flags - receive flags
1061 * These flags are used with the @flag member of &struct ieee80211_rx_status.
1062 * @RX_FLAG_MMIC_ERROR: Michael MIC error was reported on this frame.
1063 * Use together with %RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED.
1064 * @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED: This frame was decrypted in hardware.
1065 * @RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED: the Michael MIC is stripped off this frame,
1066 * verification has been done by the hardware.
1067 * @RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED: The IV and ICV are stripped from this frame.
1068 * If this flag is set, the stack cannot do any replay detection
1069 * hence the driver or hardware will have to do that.
1070 * @RX_FLAG_PN_VALIDATED: Currently only valid for CCMP/GCMP frames, this
1071 * flag indicates that the PN was verified for replay protection.
1072 * Note that this flag is also currently only supported when a frame
1073 * is also decrypted (ie. @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED must be set)
1074 * @RX_FLAG_DUP_VALIDATED: The driver should set this flag if it did
1075 * de-duplication by itself.
1076 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC: Set this flag if the FCS check failed on
1078 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC: Set this flag if the PCLP check failed on
1080 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1081 * field) is valid and contains the time the first symbol of the MPDU
1082 * was received. This is useful in monitor mode and for proper IBSS
1084 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_END: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1085 * field) is valid and contains the time the last symbol of the MPDU
1086 * (including FCS) was received.
1087 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_PLCP_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1088 * field) is valid and contains the time the SYNC preamble was received.
1089 * @RX_FLAG_NO_SIGNAL_VAL: The signal strength value is not present.
1090 * Valid only for data frames (mainly A-MPDU)
1091 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DETAILS: A-MPDU details are known, in particular the reference
1092 * number (@ampdu_reference) must be populated and be a distinct number for
1094 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_LAST_KNOWN: last subframe is known, should be set on all
1095 * subframes of a single A-MPDU
1096 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_IS_LAST: this subframe is the last subframe of the A-MPDU
1097 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_ERROR: A delimiter CRC error has been detected
1099 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_KNOWN: The delimiter CRC field is known (the CRC
1100 * is stored in the @ampdu_delimiter_crc field)
1101 * @RX_FLAG_MIC_STRIPPED: The mic was stripped of this packet. Decryption was
1102 * done by the hardware
1103 * @RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR: Report frame only to monitor interfaces without
1104 * processing it in any regular way.
1105 * This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
1106 * them for sniffing purposes.
1107 * @RX_FLAG_SKIP_MONITOR: Process and report frame to all interfaces except
1108 * monitor interfaces.
1109 * This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
1110 * them for sniffing purposes.
1111 * @RX_FLAG_AMSDU_MORE: Some drivers may prefer to report separate A-MSDU
1112 * subframes instead of a one huge frame for performance reasons.
1113 * All, but the last MSDU from an A-MSDU should have this flag set. E.g.
1114 * if an A-MSDU has 3 frames, the first 2 must have the flag set, while
1115 * the 3rd (last) one must not have this flag set. The flag is used to
1116 * deal with retransmission/duplication recovery properly since A-MSDU
1117 * subframes share the same sequence number. Reported subframes can be
1118 * either regular MSDU or singly A-MSDUs. Subframes must not be
1119 * interleaved with other frames.
1120 * @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_VENDOR_DATA: This frame contains vendor-specific
1121 * radiotap data in the skb->data (before the frame) as described by
1122 * the &struct ieee80211_vendor_radiotap.
1123 * @RX_FLAG_ALLOW_SAME_PN: Allow the same PN as same packet before.
1124 * This is used for AMSDU subframes which can have the same PN as
1125 * the first subframe.
1126 * @RX_FLAG_ICV_STRIPPED: The ICV is stripped from this frame. CRC checking must
1127 * be done in the hardware.
1128 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_EOF_BIT: Value of the EOF bit in the A-MPDU delimiter for this
1130 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_EOF_BIT_KNOWN: The EOF value is known
1131 * @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_HE: HE radiotap data is present
1132 * (&struct ieee80211_radiotap_he, mac80211 will fill in
1137 * - DATA5_DATA_BW_RU_ALLOC
1140 * from the RX info data, so leave those zeroed when building this data)

2076 * @IEEE80211_HW_TDLS_WIDER_BW: The device/driver supports wider bandwidth
2077 * than then BSS bandwidth for a TDLS link on the base channel.
2079 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_AMSDU_IN_AMPDU: The driver supports receiving A-MSDUs
2082 * @IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS: The device/driver provides TX status
2085 * @IEEE80211_HW_NEEDS_UNIQUE_STA_ADDR: Hardware (or driver) requires that each
2086 * station has a unique address, i.e. each station entry can be identified
2087 * by just its MAC address; this prevents, for example, the same station
2088 * from connecting to two virtual AP interfaces at the same time.
2090 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_REORDERING_BUFFER: Hardware (or driver) manages the
2091 * reordering buffer internally, guaranteeing mac80211 receives frames in
2092 * order and does not need to manage its own reorder buffer or BA session
2095 * @IEEE80211_HW_USES_RSS: The device uses RSS and thus requires parallel RX,
2096 * which implies using per-CPU station statistics.
2098 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMSDU: Hardware (or driver) supports software aggregated
2099 * A-MSDU frames. Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support.
2100 * When not using minstrel/minstrel_ht rate control, the driver must
2101 * limit the maximum A-MSDU size based on the current tx rate by setting
2102 * max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.
2104 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_FRAG_LIST: Hardware (or driver) supports sending frag_list
2105 * skbs, needed for zero-copy software A-MSDU.
2107 * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_LOW_ACK: The driver (or firmware) reports low ack event
2108 * by ieee80211_report_low_ack() based on its own algorithm. For such
2109 * drivers, mac80211 packet loss mechanism will not be triggered and driver
2110 * is completely depending on firmware event for station kickout.
2112 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG: Hardware does fragmentation by itself.
2113 * The stack will not do fragmentation.
2114 * The callback for @set_frag_threshold should be set as well.
2116 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TDLS_BUFFER_STA: Hardware supports buffer STA on
2119 * @IEEE80211_HW_DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP: The driver requires the
2120 * mgd_prepare_tx() callback to be called before transmission of a
2121 * deauthentication frame in case the association was completed but no
2122 * beacon was heard. This is required in multi-channel scenarios, where the
2123 * virtual interface might not be given air time for the transmission of
2124 * the frame, as it is not synced with the AP/P2P GO yet, and thus the
2125 * deauthentication frame might not be transmitted.
2127 * @IEEE80211_HW_DOESNT_SUPPORT_QOS_NDP: The driver (or firmware) doesn't
2128 * support QoS NDP for AP probing - that's most likely a driver bug.
2130 * @NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS: number of hardware flags, used for sizing arrays

2457 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
2459 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
2460 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
2462 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
2463 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
2464 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
2465 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
2466 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
2467 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
2468 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
2470 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
2471 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
2472 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
2474 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
2475 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
2476 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
2477 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
2479 * Note that in the case that the @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL flag is
2480 * set, mac80211 will not automatically fall back to software crypto if
2481 * enabling hardware crypto failed. The set_key() call may also return the
2482 * value 1 to permit this specific key/algorithm to be done in software.
2484 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
2486 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
2487 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
2488 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
2489 * based on the receive flags.
2491 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
2492 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
2493 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
2496 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
2497 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
2499 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
2500 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
2501 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
2502 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
2503 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
2504 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
2506 * The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index
2507 * configured to the hardware for WEP encryption type. This is required
2508 * for devices that support offload of data packets (e.g. ARP responses).
2512 * DOC: Powersave support
2514 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
2516 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
2517 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
2518 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
2519 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
2520 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
2521 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
2522 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
2523 * it finds traffic directed to it.
2525 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
2526 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
2527 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
2528 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
2529 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
2531 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
2532 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
2533 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
2535 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
2536 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
2537 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
2538 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
2539 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
2540 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
2541 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
2543 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
2544 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
2545 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
2546 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
2547 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
2550 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
2551 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
2552 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
2553 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
2554 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
2555 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
2556 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
2557 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
2558 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
2559 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
2561 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
2562 * %IEEE80211_VIF_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
2563 * uapsd parameter in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
2564 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
2565 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
2566 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
2568 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
2569 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
2573 * DOC: Beacon filter support
2575 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
2576 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
2577 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
2578 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
2579 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
2580 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
2581 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
2583 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
2584 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
2585 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
2586 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
2587 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
2589 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
2590 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
2591 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
2592 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
2594 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
2595 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
2596 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
2597 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
2599 * - a list of information element IDs
2600 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
2602 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
2603 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
2604 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
2605 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
2606 * vendor information elements.
2608 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
2609 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
2611 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
2612 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
2613 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
2614 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
2615 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
2616 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
2619 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
2620 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
2621 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
2622 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
2623 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
2624 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
2625 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
2626 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
2628 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
2629 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
2630 * signal strength threshold checking.
2634 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
2636 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
2637 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
2638 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
2639 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
2641 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
2642 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
2643 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
2644 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
2645 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
2648 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
2649 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
2650 * turned off otherwise.
2652 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
2653 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
2654 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
2655 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
2659 * DOC: Frame filtering
2661 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
2662 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
2663 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
2664 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
2665 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
2667 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
2668 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
2669 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
2671 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
2672 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
2673 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
2674 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
2675 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
2676 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
2677 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
2679 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
2680 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
2681 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
2684 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
2685 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
2686 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
2687 * the flag, but not clear it.
2688 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
2689 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
2690 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
2691 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
2692 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
2693 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
2694 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
2695 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
2699 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
2701 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
2702 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
2703 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
2705 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
2706 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
2707 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
2708 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
2711 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
2712 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
2713 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
2714 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
2715 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
2716 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
2717 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
2719 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
2720 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
2721 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
2722 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
2723 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
2724 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
2725 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
2726 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
2727 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
2728 * @sta_notify callback.
2730 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
2731 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
2732 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
2733 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
2734 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
2735 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
2736 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
2737 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
2738 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
2739 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
2740 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
2741 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
2742 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
2743 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
2745 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
2746 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
2748 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
2749 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
2750 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
2751 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
2752 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
2753 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
2754 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
2755 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
2756 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
2757 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
2758 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
2760 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
2761 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
2762 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
2763 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
2764 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
2765 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
2766 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
2767 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
2768 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
2769 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
2770 * to help the @more_data parameter is passed to tell the driver if
2771 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
2772 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
2773 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
2775 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
2776 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
2777 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
2778 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
2779 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
2780 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp()
2781 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
2783 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
2784 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
2785 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
2786 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
2787 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp() in this case.
2789 * Note that if the driver ever buffers frames other than QoS-data
2790 * frames, it must take care to never send a non-QoS-data frame as
2791 * the last frame in a service period, adding a QoS-nulldata frame
2792 * after a non-QoS-data frame if needed.
2796 * DOC: HW queue control
2798 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
2799 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
2800 * was problematic for a few reasons:
2801 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
2802 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
2803 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
2805 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
2806 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
2807 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
2809 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
2810 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
2811 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
2812 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
2813 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
2814 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
2815 * the hardware queue.
2816 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
2817 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
2819 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
2820 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
2821 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
2822 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
2823 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
2825 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
2826 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
2827 * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
2828 * off-channel queue: 9
2830 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
2831 * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
2833 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
2834 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
2835 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
2836 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
2837 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
2838 * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
2839 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
2841 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
2842 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
2844 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
2845 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
2846 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
2847 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.
2851 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
2853 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
2854 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the

2856 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.

3025 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
3027 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
3028 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
3029 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
3031 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
3032 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
3033 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
3034 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
3035 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
3038 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
3039 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
3040 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
3041 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
3043 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
3044 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
3046 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3048 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
3049 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
3050 * it must turn off frame reception.)
3051 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
3052 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
3053 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
3054 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3056 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
3057 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
3058 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
3059 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
3060 * reconfigured at resume time.
3061 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
3062 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
3063 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
3064 * must return 1 from this function.
3066 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
3067 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
3068 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
3069 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
3070 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
3072 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
3073 * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
3074 * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
3077 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
3078 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
3079 * and @stop must be implemented.
3080 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
3081 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
3082 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
3083 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
3084 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
3085 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3087 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
3088 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
3089 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
3090 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
3091 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
3093 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
3094 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
3095 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
3096 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
3097 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
3098 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
3099 * MAC address of the device going away.
3100 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
3102 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
3103 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
3104 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
3105 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
3107 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
3108 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
3109 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
3110 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
3111 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
3112 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
3115 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
3116 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
3117 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
3119 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
3120 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
3121 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
3123 * @config_iface_filter: Configure the interface's RX filter.
3124 * This callback is optional and is used to configure which frames
3125 * should be passed to mac80211. The filter_flags is the combination
3126 * of FIF_* flags. The changed_flags is a bit mask that indicates
3127 * which flags are changed.
3128 * This callback can sleep.
3130 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
3131 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
3133 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
3134 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
3135 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
3137 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
3138 * The callback can sleep.
3140 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
3141 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
3142 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
3143 * The callback must be atomic.
3145 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
3146 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
3147 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
3148 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
3149 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
3151 * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
3152 * WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
3153 * offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
3155 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
3156 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
3157 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
3158 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
3159 * that power save is disabled.
3160 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
3161 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
3162 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
3163 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
3164 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
3165 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
3166 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
3167 * The callback can sleep.
3169 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
3170 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
3171 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
3172 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
3173 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
3174 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
3175 * The callback can sleep.
3177 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
3178 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
3179 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
3180 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
3182 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
3183 * In this case, ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() must not be called.
3185 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
3186 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
3187 * The mac_addr parameter allows supporting NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR,
3188 * the driver may set the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR flag if it
3189 * can use this parameter. The callback can sleep.
3191 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
3192 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
3193 * this notification.
3194 * The callback can sleep.
3196 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
3197 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
3198 * The callback can sleep.
3200 * @get_key_seq: If your device implements encryption in hardware and does
3201 * IV/PN assignment then this callback should be provided to read the
3202 * IV/PN for the given key from hardware.
3203 * The callback must be atomic.
3205 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
3206 * if the device does fragmentation by itself. Note that to prevent the
3207 * stack from doing fragmentation IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG
3208 * should be set as well.
3209 * The callback can sleep.
3211 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
3212 * The callback can sleep.
3214 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
3215 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
3217 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
3218 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Note that after the callback
3219 * returns it isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected;
3220 * no RCU grace period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing
3221 * the station. See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
3222 * This callback can sleep.
3224 * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
3225 * when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
3226 * should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS conditional. This
3227 * callback can sleep.
3229 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
3230 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
3231 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
3232 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
3234 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
3235 * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
3236 * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
3237 * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
3238 * up the list of states. Also note that after the callback returns it
3239 * isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected - no RCU grace
3240 * period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing the station.
3241 * See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
3242 * The callback can sleep.
3244 * @sta_pre_rcu_remove: Notify driver about station removal before RCU
3245 * synchronisation. This is useful if a driver needs to have station
3246 * pointers protected using RCU, it can then use this call to clear
3247 * the pointers instead of waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse
3249 * The callback can sleep.
3251 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
3252 * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
3253 * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
3254 * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
3255 * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
3256 * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
3258 * @sta_rate_tbl_update: Notifies the driver that the rate table changed. This
3259 * is only used if the configured rate control algorithm actually uses
3260 * the new rate table API, and is therefore optional. Must be atomic.
3262 * @sta_statistics: Get statistics for this station. For example with beacon
3263 * filtering, the statistics kept by mac80211 might not be accurate, so
3264 * let the driver pre-fill the statistics. The driver can fill most of
3265 * the values (indicating which by setting the filled bitmap), but not
3266 * all of them make sense - see the source for which ones are possible.
3267 * Statistics that the driver doesn't fill will be filled by mac80211.
3268 * The callback can sleep.
3270 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
3271 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
3272 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
3273 * The callback can sleep.
3275 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
3276 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
3277 * required function.
3278 * The callback can sleep.
3280 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
3281 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
3282 * required function.
3283 * The callback can sleep.
3285 * @offset_tsf: Offset the TSF timer by the specified value in the
3286 * firmware/hardware. Preferred to set_tsf as it avoids delay between
3287 * calling set_tsf() and hardware getting programmed, which will show up
3288 * as TSF delay. Is not a required function.
3289 * The callback can sleep.
3291 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
3292 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
3293 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
3294 * TSF synchronization.
3295 * The callback can sleep.
3297 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
3298 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
3299 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
3300 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
3301 * The callback can sleep.
3303 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
3305 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
3306 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
3307 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
3308 * The callback can sleep.
3310 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
3311 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
3312 * accordingly; coverage class equals to -1 to enable ACK timeout
3313 * estimation algorithm (dynack). To disable dynack set valid value for
3314 * coverage class. This callback is not required and may sleep.
3316 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command. The passed @vif may
3317 * be %NULL. The callback can sleep.
3318 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
3320 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
3321 * that the hardware queues are empty. The @queues parameter is a bitmap
3322 * of queues to flush, which is useful if different virtual interfaces
3323 * use different hardware queues; it may also indicate all queues.
3324 * If the parameter @drop is set to %true, pending frames may be dropped.
3325 * Note that vif can be NULL.
3326 * The callback can sleep.
3328 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
3329 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
3330 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
3331 * completion of the channel switch.
3333 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
3334 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
3335 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
3336 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
3338 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
3340 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
3341 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
3342 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
3343 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
3344 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
3345 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
3346 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
3347 * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
3348 * must be accepted in this case.
3349 * This callback may sleep.
3350 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
3351 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
3353 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
3355 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
3357 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
3358 * queues before entering power save.
3360 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
3361 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
3362 * The callback can sleep.
3363 * @event_callback: Notify driver about any event in mac80211. See
3364 * &enum ieee80211_event_type for the different types.
3365 * The callback must be atomic.
3367 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
3368 * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
3369 * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
3370 * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
3371 * Note that if the @more_data parameter is %false the driver must check
3372 * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
3373 * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
3374 * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
3375 * more-data bit must always be set.
3376 * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
3377 * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
3378 * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
3379 * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
3380 * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
3381 * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
3382 * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
3383 * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
3384 * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
3385 * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
3386 * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
3387 * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
3388 * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
3389 * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
3390 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
3391 * This callback must be atomic.
3392 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
3393 * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
3394 * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
3395 * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
3396 * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
3397 * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
3398 * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
3399 * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
3400 * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
3401 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() function.
3402 * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
3403 * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
3404 * This callback must be atomic.
3406 * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
3408 * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
3410 * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
3411 * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
3413 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
3414 * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
3415 * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
3416 * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
3417 * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
3418 * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
3419 * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
3420 * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
3421 * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
3422 * For drivers that set %IEEE80211_HW_DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP, mac80211
3423 * would also call this function before transmitting a deauthentication
3424 * frame in case that no beacon was heard from the AP/P2P GO.
3425 * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
3426 * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
3427 * If duration is greater than zero, mac80211 hints to the driver the
3428 * duration for which the operation is requested.
3429 * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
3431 * @mgd_protect_tdls_discover: Protect a TDLS discovery session. After sending
3432 * a TDLS discovery-request, we expect a reply to arrive on the AP's
3433 * channel. We must stay on the channel (no PSM, scan, etc.), since a TDLS
3434 * setup-response is a direct packet not buffered by the AP.
3435 * mac80211 will call this function just before the transmission of a TDLS
3436 * discovery-request. The recommended period of protection is at least
3437 * 2 * (DTIM period).
3438 * The callback is optional and can sleep.
3440 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
3441 * This callback may sleep.
3442 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
3443 * This callback may sleep.
3444 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
3445 * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
3446 * channel context with different settings
3447 * This callback may sleep.
3448 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
3449 * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
3450 * This callback may sleep.
3451 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
3453 * This callback may sleep.
3454 * @switch_vif_chanctx: switch a number of vifs from one chanctx to
3455 * another, as specified in the list of
3456 * @ieee80211_vif_chanctx_switch passed to the driver, according
3457 * to the mode defined in &ieee80211_chanctx_switch_mode.
3458 * This callback may sleep.
3460 * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
3461 * information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
3462 * context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
3463 * software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
3464 * just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
3465 * disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
3466 * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
3468 * @reconfig_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw() and
3469 * during resume, when the reconfiguration has completed.
3470 * This can help the driver implement the reconfiguration step (and
3471 * indicate mac80211 is ready to receive frames).
3472 * This callback may sleep.
3474 * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
3475 * Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
3476 * This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
3478 * @channel_switch_beacon: Starts a channel switch to a new channel.
3479 * Beacons are modified to include CSA or ECSA IEs before calling this
3480 * function. The corresponding count fields in these IEs must be
3481 * decremented, and when they reach 1 the driver must call
3482 * ieee80211_csa_finish(). Drivers which use ieee80211_beacon_get()
3483 * get the csa counter decremented by mac80211, but must check if it is
3484 * 1 using ieee80211_csa_is_complete() after the beacon has been
3485 * transmitted and then call ieee80211_csa_finish().
3486 * If the CSA count starts as zero or 1, this function will not be called,
3487 * since there won't be any time to beacon before the switch anyway.
3488 * @pre_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3489 * before a channel switch procedure is started (ie. when a STA
3490 * gets a CSA or a userspace initiated channel-switch), allowing
3491 * the driver to prepare for the channel switch.
3492 * @post_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3493 * after a channel switch procedure is completed, allowing the
3494 * driver to go back to a normal configuration.
3496 * @join_ibss: Join an IBSS (on an IBSS interface); this is called after all
3497 * information in bss_conf is set up and the beacon can be retrieved. A
3498 * channel context is bound before this is called.
3499 * @leave_ibss: Leave the IBSS again.
3501 * @get_expected_throughput: extract the expected throughput towards the
3502 * specified station. The returned value is expressed in Kbps. It returns 0
3503 * if the RC algorithm does not have proper data to provide.
3505 * @get_txpower: get current maximum tx power (in dBm) based on configuration
3506 * and hardware limits.
3508 * @tdls_channel_switch: Start channel-switching with a TDLS peer. The driver
3509 * is responsible for continually initiating channel-switching operations
3510 * and returning to the base channel for communication with the AP. The
3511 * driver receives a channel-switch request template and the location of
3512 * the switch-timing IE within the template as part of the invocation.
3513 * The template is valid only within the call, and the driver can
3514 * optionally copy the skb for further re-use.
3515 * @tdls_cancel_channel_switch: Stop channel-switching with a TDLS peer. Both
3516 * peers must be on the base channel when the call completes.
3517 * @tdls_recv_channel_switch: a TDLS channel-switch related frame (request or
3518 * response) has been received from a remote peer. The driver gets
3519 * parameters parsed from the incoming frame and may use them to continue
3520 * an ongoing channel-switch operation. In addition, a channel-switch
3521 * response template is provided, together with the location of the
3522 * switch-timing IE within the template. The skb can only be used within
3523 * the function call.
3525 * @wake_tx_queue: Called when new packets have been added to the queue.
3526 * @sync_rx_queues: Process all pending frames in RSS queues. This is a
3527 * synchronization which is needed in case driver has in its RSS queues
3528 * pending frames that were received prior to the control path action
3529 * currently taken (e.g. disassociation) but are not processed yet.
3531 * @start_nan: join an existing NAN cluster, or create a new one.
3532 * @stop_nan: leave the NAN cluster.
3533 * @nan_change_conf: change NAN configuration. The data in cfg80211_nan_conf
3534 * contains full new configuration and changes specify which parameters
3535 * are changed with respect to the last NAN config.
3536 * The driver gets both full configuration and the changed parameters since
3537 * some devices may need the full configuration while others need only the
3538 * changed parameters.
3539 * @add_nan_func: Add a NAN function. Returns 0 on success. The data in
3540 * cfg80211_nan_func must not be referenced outside the scope of
3542 * @del_nan_func: Remove a NAN function. The driver must call
3543 * ieee80211_nan_func_terminated() with
3544 * NL80211_NAN_FUNC_TERM_REASON_USER_REQUEST reason code upon removal.
