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

1636 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
1638 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1639 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1641 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1642 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1643 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1644 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1645 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1646 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1647 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1649 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1650 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1651 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1653 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1654 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1655 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1656 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1658 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1660 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1661 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1662 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1663 * based on the receive flags.
1665 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1666 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1667 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1670 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1671 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1673 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1674 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1675 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1676 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1677 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1678 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
1680 * The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index
1681 * configured to the hardware for WEP encryption type. This is required
1682 * for devices that support offload of data packets (e.g. ARP responses).
1686 * DOC: Powersave support
1688 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1690 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1691 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1692 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1693 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1694 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1695 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1696 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1697 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1699 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1700 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1701 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1702 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1703 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
1705 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1706 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1707 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1709 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1710 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1711 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1712 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1713 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1714 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1715 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1717 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1718 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1719 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1720 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1721 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1724 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
1725 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1726 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1727 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1728 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1729 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1730 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1731 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1732 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1733 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1735 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1736 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1737 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1738 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1739 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1740 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1742 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1743 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
1747 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1749 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1750 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
1751 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1752 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1753 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1754 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1755 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1757 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
1758 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1759 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1760 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1761 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1763 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1764 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1765 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1766 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1768 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1769 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1770 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1771 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1772 * - a list of information element IDs
1773 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1775 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1776 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1777 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1778 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1779 * vendor information elements.
1781 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1782 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1784 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1785 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1786 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1787 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1788 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1789 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1792 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1793 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1794 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1795 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1796 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1797 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1798 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1799 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1801 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1802 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1803 * signal strength threshold checking.
1807 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1809 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1810 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1811 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1812 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1814 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1815 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1816 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1817 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1818 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1821 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1822 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1823 * turned off otherwise.
1825 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1826 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1827 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1828 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
1832 * DOC: Frame filtering
1834 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1835 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1836 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1837 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1838 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1840 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1841 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1842 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1844 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1845 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1846 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1847 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1848 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1849 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1850 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1852 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1853 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1854 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1857 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1858 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1859 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1860 * the flag, but not clear it.
1861 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1862 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1863 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1864 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1865 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1866 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1867 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1868 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
1872 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
1874 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
1875 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
1876 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
1878 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
1879 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
1880 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
1881 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
1884 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
1885 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
1886 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
1887 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
1888 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
1889 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
1890 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
1892 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
1893 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
1894 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
1895 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
1896 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
1897 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
1898 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
1899 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
1900 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
1901 * @sta_notify callback.
1903 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
1904 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
1905 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
1906 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
1907 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
1908 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
1909 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
1910 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
1911 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
1912 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
1913 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
1914 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
1915 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
1916 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
1918 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
1919 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
1921 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
1922 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
1923 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
1924 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
1925 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
1926 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
1927 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
1928 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
1929 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
1930 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
1931 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
1933 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
1934 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
1935 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
1936 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
1937 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
1938 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
1939 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
1940 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
1941 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
1942 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
1943 * to help the @more_data paramter is passed to tell the driver if
1944 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
1945 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
1946 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
1948 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
1949 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
1950 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
1951 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
1952 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
1953 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe()
1954 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
1956 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
1957 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
1958 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
1959 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
1960 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() in this case.
1964 * DOC: HW queue control
1966 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
1967 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
1968 * was problematic for a few reasons:
1969 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
1970 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
1971 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
1973 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
1974 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
1975 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
1977 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
1978 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
1979 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
1980 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
1981 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
1982 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
1983 * the hardware queue.
1984 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
1985 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
1987 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
1988 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
1989 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
1990 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
1991 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
1993 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
1994 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
1995 * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
1996 * off-channel queue: 9
1998 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
1999 * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
2001 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
2002 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
2003 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
2004 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
2005 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
2006 * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
2007 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
2009 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
2010 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
2012 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
2013 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
2014 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
2015 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.
2019 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
2021 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
2022 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
2023 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
2024 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
2026 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
2027 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
2028 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
2030 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
2031 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
2032 * multicast address.
2034 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
2035 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
2037 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
2038 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
2040 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
2041 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
2042 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
2043 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
2044 * honour this flag if possible.
2046 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames (except for PS Poll), if PROMISC_IN_BSS
2047 * is not set then only those addressed to this station.
2049 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes
2051 * @FIF_PSPOLL: pass PS Poll frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then only
2052 * those addressed to this station.

2071 * These flags are used with the ampdu_action() callback in
2072 * &struct ieee80211_ops to indicate which action is needed.
2074 * Note that drivers MUST be able to deal with a TX aggregation
2075 * session being stopped even before they OK'ed starting it by

2077 * might receive the addBA frame and send a delBA right away!

2081 * @IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START: start TX aggregation
2082 * @IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL: TX aggregation has become operational
2083 * @IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_CONT: stop TX aggregation but continue transmitting
2084 * queued packets, now unaggregated. After all packets are transmitted the
2085 * driver has to call ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
2086 * @IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH: stop TX aggregation and flush all packets,
2087 * called when the station is removed. There's no need or reason to call
2088 * ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() in this case as mac80211 assumes the
2089 * session is gone and removes the station.
2090 * @IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT: called when TX aggregation is stopped
2091 * but the driver hasn't called ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() yet and
2092 * now the connection is dropped and the station will be removed. Drivers
2093 * should clean up and drop remaining packets when this is called.

2138 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
2140 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
2141 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
2142 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
2144 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
2145 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
2146 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
2147 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
2148 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
2151 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
2152 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
2153 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
2154 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
2156 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
2157 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
2159 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2161 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
2162 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
2163 * it must turn off frame reception.)
2164 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
2165 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
2166 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
2167 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2169 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
2170 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
2171 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
2172 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
2173 * reconfigured at resume time.
2174 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
2175 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
2176 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
2177 * must return 1 from this function.
2179 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
2180 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
2181 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
2182 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
2183 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
2185 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
2186 * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
2187 * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
2190 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
2191 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
2192 * and @stop must be implemented.
2193 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
2194 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
2195 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
2196 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
2197 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
2198 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2200 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
2201 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
2202 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
2203 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
2204 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
2206 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
2207 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
2208 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
2209 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
2210 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
2211 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
2212 * MAC address of the device going away.
2213 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
2215 * @add_interface_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
2216 * when a vif is added to mac80211. This callback and
2217 * @remove_interface_debugfs should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS
2218 * conditional. @remove_interface_debugfs must be provided for cleanup.
2219 * This callback can sleep.
2221 * @remove_interface_debugfs: Remove the debugfs files which were added using
2222 * @add_interface_debugfs. This callback must remove all debugfs entries
2223 * that were added because mac80211 only removes interface debugfs when the
2224 * interface is destroyed, not when it is removed from the driver.
2225 * This callback can sleep.
2227 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
2228 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
2229 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
2230 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
2232 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
2233 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
2234 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
2235 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
2236 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
2237 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
2240 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
2241 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
2242 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
2244 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
2245 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
2246 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
2248 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
2249 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
2251 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2252 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
2253 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
2255 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
2256 * The callback can sleep.
2258 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2259 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
2260 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
2261 * The callback must be atomic.
2263 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
2264 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
2265 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
2266 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
2267 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
2269 * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
2270 * WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
2271 * offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
2273 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
2274 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
2275 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
2276 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
2277 * that power save is disabled.
2278 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
2279 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
2280 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
2281 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
2282 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
2283 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
2284 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
2285 * The callback can sleep.
2287 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
2288 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
2289 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
2290 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
2291 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
2292 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
2293 * The callback can sleep.
2295 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
2296 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
2297 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
2298 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
2300 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
2302 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
2303 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
2304 * The callback can sleep.
2306 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
2307 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
2308 * this notification.
2309 * The callback can sleep.
2311 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
2312 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
2313 * The callback can sleep.
2315 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
2316 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
2317 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
2318 * The callback must be atomic.
2320 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
2321 * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
2322 * implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
2323 * The callback can sleep.
2325 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
2326 * The callback can sleep.
2328 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
2329 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2331 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
2332 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2334 * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
2335 * when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
2336 * and @sta_remove_debugfs should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS
2337 * conditional. This callback can sleep.
2339 * @sta_remove_debugfs: Remove the debugfs files which were added using
2340 * @sta_add_debugfs. This callback can sleep.
2342 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
2343 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
2344 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
2345 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
2347 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
2348 * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
2349 * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
2350 * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
2351 * up the list of states.
2352 * The callback can sleep.
2354 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
2355 * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
2356 * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
2357 * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
2358 * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
2359 * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
2362 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
2363 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
2364 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
2365 * The callback can sleep.
2367 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
2368 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
2369 * required function.
2370 * The callback can sleep.
2372 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
2373 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
2374 * required function.
2375 * The callback can sleep.
2377 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
2378 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
2379 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
2380 * TSF synchronization.
2381 * The callback can sleep.
2383 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
2384 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
2385 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
2386 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
2387 * The callback can sleep.
2389 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
2390 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
2391 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
2392 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
2393 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
2394 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
2395 * The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
2396 * %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
2397 * buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
2398 * may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
2399 * nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
2400 * buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
2401 * possible with a buf_size of 8:
2403 * - RX: 2....7 (lost frame #1)
2405 * which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
2406 * buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
2407 * - TX: 1 or 18 or 81
2408 * Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
2410 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
2411 * The callback can sleep.
2413 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
2415 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
2416 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
2417 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
2418 * The callback can sleep.
2420 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
2421 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
2422 * accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
2424 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
2425 * The callback can sleep.
2426 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
2428 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
2429 * that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
2430 * to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
2432 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
2433 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
2434 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
2435 * completion of the channel switch.
2437 * @napi_poll: Poll Rx queue for incoming data frames.
2439 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
2440 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
2441 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
2442 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
2444 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
2446 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
2447 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
2448 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
2449 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
2450 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
2451 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
2452 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
2453 * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
2454 * must be accepted in this case.
2455 * This callback may sleep.
2456 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
2457 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
2459 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
2461 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
2463 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
2464 * queues before entering power save.
2466 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
2467 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
2468 * The callback can sleep.
2469 * @rssi_callback: Notify driver when the average RSSI goes above/below
2470 * thresholds that were registered previously. The callback can sleep.
2472 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
2473 * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
2474 * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
2475 * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
2476 * Note that if the @more_data paramter is %false the driver must check
2477 * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
2478 * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
2479 * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
2480 * more-data bit must always be set.
2481 * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
2482 * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
2483 * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
2484 * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
2485 * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2486 * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
2487 * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
2488 * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
2489 * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
2490 * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
2491 * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
2492 * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
2493 * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
2494 * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
2495 * ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
2496 * This callback must be atomic.
2497 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
2498 * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
2499 * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
2500 * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
2501 * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
2502 * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
2503 * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2504 * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
2505 * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
2506 * ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() function.
2507 * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
2508 * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
2509 * This callback must be atomic.
2511 * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
2513 * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
2515 * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
2516 * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
2518 * @get_rssi: Get current signal strength in dBm, the function is optional
2521 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
2522 * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
2523 * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
2524 * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
2525 * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
2526 * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
2527 * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
2528 * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
2529 * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
2530 * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
2531 * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
2532 * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
2534 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
2535 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
2536 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
2537 * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
2538 * channel context with different settings
2539 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
2540 * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
2541 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
2543 * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
2544 * information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
2545 * context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
2546 * software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
2547 * just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
2548 * disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
2549 * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
2551 * @restart_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw(), when the
2552 * reconfiguration has completed. This can help the driver implement the
2553 * reconfiguration step. Also called when reconfiguring because the
2554 * driver's resume function returned 1, as this is just like an "inline"
2555 * hardware restart. This callback may sleep.
2557 * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
2558 * Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
2559 * This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
