25 /**
26 * DOC: Introduction
28 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
29 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
30 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
31 * drivers.
34 /**
35 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
37 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
38 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
39 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
40 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
41 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
42 * tasklet function.
44 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
45 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
48 /**
49 * DOC: Warning
51 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
52 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
55 /**
56 * DOC: Frame format
58 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
59 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
60 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
61 * hardware.
63 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
65 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
66 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
68 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
69 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
72 /**
73 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
75 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
76 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
77 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
78 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
80 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
81 * suspend.
83 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

1467 * enum ieee80211_hw_flags - hardware flags
1469 * These flags are used to indicate hardware capabilities to
1470 * the stack. Generally, flags here should have their meaning
1471 * done in a way that the simplest hardware doesn't need setting
1472 * any particular flags. There are some exceptions to this rule,
1473 * however, so you are advised to review these flags carefully.
1475 * @IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL:
1476 * The hardware or firmware includes rate control, and cannot be
1477 * controlled by the stack. As such, no rate control algorithm
1478 * should be instantiated, and the TX rate reported to userspace
1479 * will be taken from the TX status instead of the rate control
1480 * algorithm.
1481 * Note that this requires that the driver implement a number of
1482 * callbacks so it has the correct information, it needs to have
1483 * the @set_rts_threshold callback and must look at the BSS config
1484 * @use_cts_prot for G/N protection, @use_short_slot for slot
1485 * timing in 2.4 GHz and @use_short_preamble for preambles for
1486 * CCK frames.
1488 * @IEEE80211_HW_RX_INCLUDES_FCS:
1489 * Indicates that received frames passed to the stack include
1490 * the FCS at the end.
1492 * @IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING:
1493 * Some wireless LAN chipsets buffer broadcast/multicast frames
1494 * for power saving stations in the hardware/firmware and others
1495 * rely on the host system for such buffering. This option is used
1496 * to configure the IEEE 802.11 upper layer to buffer broadcast and
1497 * multicast frames when there are power saving stations so that
1498 * the driver can fetch them with ieee80211_get_buffered_bc().
1500 * @IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_SLOT_INCAPABLE:
1501 * Hardware is not capable of short slot operation on the 2.4 GHz band.
1503 * @IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_PREAMBLE_INCAPABLE:
1504 * Hardware is not capable of receiving frames with short preamble on
1505 * the 2.4 GHz band.
1507 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC:
1508 * Hardware can provide signal values but we don't know its units. We
1509 * expect values between 0 and @max_signal.
1510 * If possible please provide dB or dBm instead.
1512 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM:
1513 * Hardware gives signal values in dBm, decibel difference from
1514 * one milliwatt. This is the preferred method since it is standardized
1515 * between different devices. @max_signal does not need to be set.
1517 * @IEEE80211_HW_SPECTRUM_MGMT:
1518 * Hardware supports spectrum management defined in 802.11h
1519 * Measurement, Channel Switch, Quieting, TPC
1521 * @IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_AGGREGATION:
1522 * Hardware supports 11n A-MPDU aggregation.
1524 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS:
1525 * Hardware has power save support (i.e. can go to sleep).
1527 * @IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK:
1528 * Hardware requires nullfunc frame handling in stack, implies
1529 * stack support for dynamic PS.
1531 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS:
1532 * Hardware has support for dynamic PS.
1534 * @IEEE80211_HW_MFP_CAPABLE:
1535 * Hardware supports management frame protection (MFP, IEEE 802.11w).
1537 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD:
1538 * Hardware supports Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery
1539 * (U-APSD) in managed mode. The mode is configured with
1540 * conf_tx() operation.
1542 * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS:
1543 * Hardware can provide ack status reports of Tx frames to
1544 * the stack.
1546 * @IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR:
1547 * The hardware performs its own connection monitoring, including
1548 * periodic keep-alives to the AP and probing the AP on beacon loss.
1550 * @IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC:
1551 * This device needs to get data from beacon before association (i.e.
1552 * dtim_period).
1554 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PER_STA_GTK: The device's crypto engine supports
1555 * per-station GTKs as used by IBSS RSN or during fast transition. If
1556 * the device doesn't support per-station GTKs, but can be asked not
1557 * to decrypt group addressed frames, then IBSS RSN support is still
1558 * possible but software crypto will be used. Advertise the wiphy flag
1559 * only in that case.
1561 * @IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS: When operating in AP mode the device
1562 * autonomously manages the PS status of connected stations. When
1563 * this flag is set mac80211 will not trigger PS mode for connected
1564 * stations based on the PM bit of incoming frames.
1565 * Use ieee80211_start_ps()/ieee8021_end_ps() to manually configure
1566 * the PS mode of connected stations.
1568 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMPDU_SETUP_IN_HW: The device handles TX A-MPDU session
1569 * setup strictly in HW. mac80211 should not attempt to do this in
1570 * software.
1572 * @IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF: The driver would like to be informed of
1573 * a virtual monitor interface when monitor interfaces are the only
1574 * active interfaces.
1576 * @IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL: The driver wants to control per-interface
1577 * queue mapping in order to use different queues (not just one per AC)
1578 * for different virtual interfaces. See the doc section on HW queue
1579 * control for more details.
1581 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE: The driver supports using a rate
1582 * selection table provided by the rate control algorithm.
1584 * @IEEE80211_HW_P2P_DEV_ADDR_FOR_INTF: Use the P2P Device address for any
1585 * P2P Interface. This will be honoured even if more than one interface
1586 * is supported.
1588 * @IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY: Use sync timing from beacon frames
1589 * only, to allow getting TBTT of a DTIM beacon.
1591 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_HT_CCK_RATES: Hardware supports mixing HT/CCK rates
1592 * and can cope with CCK rates in an aggregation session (e.g. by not
1593 * using aggregation for such frames.)
1595 * @IEEE80211_HW_CHANCTX_STA_CSA: Support 802.11h based channel-switch (CSA)
1596 * for a single active channel while using channel contexts. When support
1597 * is not enabled the default action is to disconnect when getting the
1598 * CSA frame.
1600 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS: The driver will never modify the payload
1601 * or tailroom of TX skbs without copying them first.
1603 * @IEEE80211_SINGLE_HW_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS: The HW supports scanning on all bands
1604 * in one command, mac80211 doesn't have to run separate scans per band.

1850 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
1852 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1853 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1855 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1856 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1857 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1858 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1859 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1860 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1861 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1863 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1864 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1865 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1867 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1868 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1869 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1870 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1872 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1874 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1875 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1876 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1877 * based on the receive flags.
1879 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1880 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1881 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1882 * keys.
1884 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1885 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1886 * handler.
1887 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1888 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1889 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1890 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1891 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1892 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
1894 * The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index
1895 * configured to the hardware for WEP encryption type. This is required
1896 * for devices that support offload of data packets (e.g. ARP responses).
1900 * DOC: Powersave support
1902 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1904 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1905 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1906 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1907 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1908 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1909 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1910 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1911 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1913 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1914 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1915 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1916 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1917 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
1919 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1920 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1921 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1923 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1924 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1925 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1926 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1927 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1928 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1929 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1931 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1932 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1933 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1934 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1935 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1936 * periods.
1938 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
1939 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1940 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1941 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1942 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1943 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1944 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1945 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1946 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1947 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1949 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1950 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1951 * uapsd parameter in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1952 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1953 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1954 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1956 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1957 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
1961 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1963 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1964 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
1965 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1966 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1967 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1968 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1969 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1971 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
1972 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1973 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1974 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1975 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1977 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1978 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1979 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1980 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1982 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1983 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1984 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1985 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1986 * - a list of information element IDs
1987 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1989 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1990 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1991 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1992 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1993 * vendor information elements.
1995 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1996 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1998 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1999 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
2000 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
2001 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
2002 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
2003 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
2006 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
2007 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
2008 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
2009 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
2010 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
2011 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
2012 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
2013 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
2015 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
2016 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
2017 * signal strength threshold checking.
2021 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
2023 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
2024 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
2025 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
2026 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
2028 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
2029 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
2030 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
2031 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
2032 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
2033 * hardware flags.
2035 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
2036 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
2037 * turned off otherwise.
2039 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
2040 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
2041 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
2042 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
2046 * DOC: Frame filtering
2048 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
2049 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
2050 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
2051 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
2052 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
2054 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
2055 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
2056 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
2058 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
2059 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
2060 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
2061 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
2062 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
2063 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
2064 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
2066 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
2067 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
2068 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
2069 * or dropped.
2071 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
2072 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
2073 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
2074 * the flag, but not clear it.
2075 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
2076 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
2077 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
2078 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
2079 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
2080 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
2081 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
2082 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
2086 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
2088 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
2089 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
2090 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
2092 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
2093 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
2094 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
2095 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
2096 * the driver code.
2098 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
2099 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
2100 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
2101 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
2102 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
2103 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
2104 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
2106 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
2107 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
2108 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
2109 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
2110 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
2111 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
2112 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
2113 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
2114 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
2115 * @sta_notify callback.
2117 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
2118 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
2119 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
2120 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
2121 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
2122 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
2123 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
2124 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
2125 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
2126 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
2127 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
2128 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
2129 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
2130 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
2132 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
2133 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
2135 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
2136 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
2137 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
2138 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
2139 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
2140 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
2141 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
2142 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
2143 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
2144 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
2145 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
2147 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
2148 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
2149 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
2150 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
2151 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
2152 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
2153 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
2154 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
2155 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
2156 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
2157 * to help the @more_data parameter is passed to tell the driver if
2158 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
2159 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
2160 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
2162 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
2163 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
2164 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
2165 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
2166 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
2167 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp()
2168 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
2170 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
2171 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
2172 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
2173 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
2174 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp() in this case.
2176 * Note that if the driver ever buffers frames other than QoS-data
2177 * frames, it must take care to never send a non-QoS-data frame as
2178 * the last frame in a service period, adding a QoS-nulldata frame
2179 * after a non-QoS-data frame if needed.
2183 * DOC: HW queue control
2185 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
2186 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
2187 * was problematic for a few reasons:
2188 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
2189 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
2190 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
2192 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
2193 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
2194 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
2196 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
2197 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
2198 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
2199 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
2200 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
2201 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
2202 * the hardware queue.
2203 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
2204 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
2206 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
2207 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
2208 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
2209 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
2210 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
2212 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
2213 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
2214 * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
2215 * off-channel queue: 9
2217 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
2218 * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
2220 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
2221 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
2222 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
2223 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
2224 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
2225 * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
2226 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
2228 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
2229 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
2231 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
2232 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
2233 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
2234 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.
2238 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags

2383 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
2384 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
2385 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
2386 * Must be atomic.
2388 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
2389 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
2390 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
2391 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
2392 * or zero.
2393 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
2394 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
2395 * is added.
2396 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2398 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
2399 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
2400 * it must turn off frame reception.)
2401 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
2402 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
2403 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
2404 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2406 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
2407 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
2408 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
2409 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
2410 * reconfigured at resume time.
2411 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
2412 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
2413 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
2414 * must return 1 from this function.
2416 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
2417 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
2418 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
2419 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
2420 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
2422 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
2423 * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
2424 * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
2425 * in suspend().
2427 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
2428 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
2429 * and @stop must be implemented.
2430 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
2431 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
2432 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
2433 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
2434 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
2435 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
2437 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
2438 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
2439 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
2440 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
2441 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
2443 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
2444 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
2445 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
2446 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
2447 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
2448 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
2449 * MAC address of the device going away.
2450 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
2452 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
2453 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
2454 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
2455 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
2457 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
2458 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
2459 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
2460 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
2461 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
2462 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
2463 * can sleep.
2465 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
2466 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
2467 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
2469 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
2470 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
2471 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
2473 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
2474 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
2476 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2477 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
2478 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
2479 * is enabled.
2480 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
2481 * The callback can sleep.
2483 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2484 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
2485 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
2486 * The callback must be atomic.
2488 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
2489 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
2490 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
2491 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
2492 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
2494 * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
2495 * WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
2496 * offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
2498 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
2499 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
2500 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
2501 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
2502 * that power save is disabled.
2503 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
2504 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
2505 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
2506 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
2507 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
2508 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
2509 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
2510 * The callback can sleep.
2512 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
2513 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
2514 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
2515 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
2516 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
2517 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
2518 * The callback can sleep.
2520 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
2521 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
2522 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
2523 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
2525 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
2526 * In this case, ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() must not be called.
2528 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
2529 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
2530 * The callback can sleep.
2532 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
2533 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
2534 * this notification.
2535 * The callback can sleep.
2537 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
2538 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
2539 * The callback can sleep.
2541 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
2542 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
2543 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
2544 * The callback must be atomic.
2546 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
2547 * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
2548 * implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
2549 * The callback can sleep.
2551 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
2552 * The callback can sleep.
2554 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
2555 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2557 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
2558 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Note that after the callback
2559 * returns it isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected;
2560 * no RCU grace period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing
2561 * the station. See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
2562 * This callback can sleep.
2564 * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
2565 * when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
2566 * and @sta_remove_debugfs should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS
2567 * conditional. This callback can sleep.
2569 * @sta_remove_debugfs: Remove the debugfs files which were added using
2570 * @sta_add_debugfs. This callback can sleep.
2572 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
2573 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
2574 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
2575 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
2577 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
2578 * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
2579 * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
2580 * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
2581 * up the list of states. Also note that after the callback returns it
2582 * isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected - no RCU grace
2583 * period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing the station.
2584 * See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
2585 * The callback can sleep.
2587 * @sta_pre_rcu_remove: Notify driver about station removal before RCU
2588 * synchronisation. This is useful if a driver needs to have station
2589 * pointers protected using RCU, it can then use this call to clear
2590 * the pointers instead of waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse
2591 * in @sta_state.
2592 * The callback can sleep.
2594 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
2595 * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
2596 * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
2597 * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
2598 * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
2599 * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
2600 * Must be atomic.
2602 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
2603 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
2604 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
2605 * The callback can sleep.
2607 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
2608 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
2609 * required function.
2610 * The callback can sleep.
2612 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
2613 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
2614 * required function.
2615 * The callback can sleep.
2617 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
2618 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
2619 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
2620 * TSF synchronization.
2621 * The callback can sleep.
2623 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
2624 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
2625 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
2626 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
2627 * The callback can sleep.
2629 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
2630 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
2631 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
2632 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
2633 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
2634 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
2635 * The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
2636 * %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
2637 * buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
2638 * may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
2639 * nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
2640 * buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
2641 * possible with a buf_size of 8:
2642 * - TX: 1.....7
2643 * - RX: 2....7 (lost frame #1)
2644 * - TX: 8..1...
2645 * which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
2646 * buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
2647 * - TX: 1 or 18 or 81
2648 * Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
2650 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
2651 * The callback can sleep.
2653 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
2655 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
2656 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
2657 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
2658 * The callback can sleep.
2660 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
2661 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
2662 * accordingly; coverage class equals to -1 to enable ACK timeout
2663 * estimation algorithm (dynack). To disable dynack set valid value for
2664 * coverage class. This callback is not required and may sleep.
2666 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command. The passed @vif may
2667 * be %NULL. The callback can sleep.
2668 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
2670 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
2671 * that the hardware queues are empty. The @queues parameter is a bitmap
2672 * of queues to flush, which is useful if different virtual interfaces
2673 * use different hardware queues; it may also indicate all queues.
2674 * If the parameter @drop is set to %true, pending frames may be dropped.
2675 * Note that vif can be NULL.
2676 * The callback can sleep.
2678 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
2679 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
2680 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
2681 * completion of the channel switch.
2683 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
2684 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
2685 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
2686 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
2688 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
2690 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
2691 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
2692 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
2693 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
2694 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
2695 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
2696 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
2697 * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
2698 * must be accepted in this case.
2699 * This callback may sleep.
2700 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
2701 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
2703 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
2705 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
2707 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
2708 * queues before entering power save.
2710 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
2711 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
2712 * The callback can sleep.
2713 * @rssi_callback: Notify driver when the average RSSI goes above/below
2714 * thresholds that were registered previously. The callback can sleep.
2716 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
2717 * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
2718 * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
2719 * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
2720 * Note that if the @more_data parameter is %false the driver must check
2721 * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
2722 * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
2723 * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
2724 * more-data bit must always be set.
2725 * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
2726 * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
2727 * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
2728 * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
2729 * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2730 * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
2731 * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
2732 * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
2733 * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
2734 * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
2735 * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
2736 * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
2737 * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
2738 * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
2739 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
2740 * This callback must be atomic.
2741 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
2742 * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
2743 * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
2744 * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
2745 * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
2746 * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
2747 * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2748 * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
2749 * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
2750 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() function.
2751 * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
2752 * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
2753 * This callback must be atomic.
2755 * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
2757 * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
2759 * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
2760 * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
2762 * @get_rssi: Get current signal strength in dBm, the function is optional
2763 * and can sleep.
2765 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
2766 * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
2767 * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
2768 * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
2769 * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
2770 * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
2771 * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
2772 * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
2773 * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
2774 * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
2775 * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
2776 * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
2778 * @mgd_protect_tdls_discover: Protect a TDLS discovery session. After sending
2779 * a TDLS discovery-request, we expect a reply to arrive on the AP's
2780 * channel. We must stay on the channel (no PSM, scan, etc.), since a TDLS
2781 * setup-response is a direct packet not buffered by the AP.
2782 * mac80211 will call this function just before the transmission of a TDLS
2783 * discovery-request. The recommended period of protection is at least
2784 * 2 * (DTIM period).
2785 * The callback is optional and can sleep.
2787 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
2788 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
2789 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
2790 * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
2791 * channel context with different settings
2792 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
2793 * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
2794 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
2795 * unbound from vif.
2796 * @switch_vif_chanctx: switch a number of vifs from one chanctx to
2797 * another, as specified in the list of
2798 * @ieee80211_vif_chanctx_switch passed to the driver, according
2799 * to the mode defined in &ieee80211_chanctx_switch_mode.
2801 * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
2802 * information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
2803 * context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
2804 * software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
2805 * just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
2806 * disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
2807 * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
2809 * @restart_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw(), when the
2810 * reconfiguration has completed. This can help the driver implement the
2811 * reconfiguration step. Also called when reconfiguring because the
2812 * driver's resume function returned 1, as this is just like an "inline"
2813 * hardware restart. This callback may sleep.
2815 * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
2816 * Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
2817 * This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
2819 * @channel_switch_beacon: Starts a channel switch to a new channel.
2820 * Beacons are modified to include CSA or ECSA IEs before calling this
2821 * function. The corresponding count fields in these IEs must be
2822 * decremented, and when they reach 1 the driver must call
2823 * ieee80211_csa_finish(). Drivers which use ieee80211_beacon_get()
