25  * DOC: Introduction
26  *
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
30  * drivers.

33 /**
34  * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
35  *
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
41  * tasklet function.
42  *
43  * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
44  *	 use the non-IRQ-safe functions!

54 /**
55  * DOC: Frame format
56  *
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
60  * hardware.
61  *
62  * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
63  *
64  * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
65  * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
66  *
67  * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
68  * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
69  *
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.
82  *
83  * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
84  * suspend.
85  *
86  * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

313  *
314  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
315  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
316  *	number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
317  *	number and increasing the sequence number only when the
318  *	IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly

320  *	for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
321  *	that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
322  *	If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
323  *	assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
324  *	802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
325  *	beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
326  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
327  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
328  *	station
329  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
330  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
331  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
332  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
333  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
334  *	because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
335  *	avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
336  *	firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
337  *	went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
338  *	the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
339  *	that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
340  *	since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
341  *	hardware queue.
342  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
343  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
344  * 	is for the whole aggregation.
345  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
346  * 	so consider using block ack request (BAR).
347  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
348  *	set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
349  *	be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
350  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
351  *	used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
352  *	it can be sent out.
353  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
354  *	used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
355  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
356  *	used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
357  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
358  *	frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
359  *	be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
360  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
361  *	transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
362  *	by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
363  *	queue gets full.
364  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
365  *	after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
366  *	be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
367  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
368  *	MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
369  *	status to user space)
370  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
371  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
372  *	frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
373  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
374  *	the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
375  *	in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
376  *	handled properly by the device.
377  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
378  *	testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
379  *	TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
380  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
381  *	This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
382  *	frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
383  * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
384  *	when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
385  *	an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
386  *	the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
387  *	PS-Poll responses.
388  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
389  *	This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
390  *	the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
391  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
392  *	would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
393  *	monitor injection).
394  *
395  * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
396  *	 forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

1461  * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1462  * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1463  *
1464  * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1465  * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1466  * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1467  * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1468  * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1469  * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1470  * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1471  *
1472  * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1473  * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1474  * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1475  *
1476  * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1477  * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1478  * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1479  * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1480  *
1481  * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1482  *
1483  * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1484  * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1485  * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1486  * based on the receive flags.
1487  *
1488  * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1489  * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1490  * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1491  * keys.
1492  *
1493  * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1494  * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1495  * handler.
1496  * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1497  * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1498  * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1499  * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1500  * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1501  * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

1504 /**
1505  * DOC: Powersave support
1506  *
1507  * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1508  *
1509  * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1510  * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1511  * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1512  * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1513  * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1514  * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1515  * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1516  * it finds traffic directed to it.
1517  *
1518  * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1519  * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1520  * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1521  * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1522  * back to sleep at appropriate times.
1523  *
1524  * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1525  * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1526  * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1527  *
1528  * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1529  * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1530  * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1531  * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1532  * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1533  * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1534  * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1535  *
1536  * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1537  * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1538  * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1539  * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1540  * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1541  * periods.
1542  *
1543  * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
1544  * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1545  * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1546  * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1547  * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1548  * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1549  * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1550  * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1551  * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1552  * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1553  *
1554  * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1555  * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1556  * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1557  * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1558  * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1559  * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1560  * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1561  * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1562  *
1563  * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1564  * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1565  * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1566  * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1567  * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1568  * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1569  *
1570  * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1571  * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.

1574 /**
1575  * DOC: Beacon filter support
1576  *
1577  * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1578  * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
1579  * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1580  * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1581  * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1582  * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1583  * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1584  *
1585  * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
1586  * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1587  * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1588  * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1589  * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1590  *
1591  * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1592  * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1593  * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1594  * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1595  *
1596  * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1597  * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1598  * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1599  * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1600  *  - a list of information element IDs
1601  *  - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1602  *
1603  * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1604  * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1605  * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1606  * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1607  * vendor information elements.
1608  *
1609  * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1610  * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1611  *
1612  * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1613  * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1614  * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1615  * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1616  * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1617  * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1618  *
1619  *
1620  * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1621  * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1622  * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1623  * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1624  * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1625  * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1626  * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1627  * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1628  *
1629  * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1630  * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1631  * signal strength threshold checking.

1644  * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1645  * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1646  * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by

1648  *

1650  * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1651  * turned off otherwise.
1652  *
1653  * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1654  * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()

1656  * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.

1659 /**
1660  * DOC: Frame filtering
1661  *
1662  * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1663  * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1664  * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1665  * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1666  * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1667  *
1668  * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1669  * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1670  * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1671  *
1672  * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1673  * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1674  * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1675  * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1676  * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1677  * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1678  * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1679  *
1680  * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1681  * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1682  * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1683  * or dropped.
1684  *
1685  * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1686  * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1687  * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1688  * the flag, but not clear it.
1689  * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1690  * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1691  * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1692  * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1693  * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1694  * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1695  * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1696  * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1699 /**
1700  * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
1701  *
1702  * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
1703  * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
1704  * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
1705  *
1706  * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
1707  * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
1708  * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
1709  * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
1710  * the driver code.
1711  *
1712  * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
1713  * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
1714  * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
1715  * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
1716  * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
1717  * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
1718  * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
1719  *
1720  * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
1721  * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
1722  * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
1723  * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
1724  * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
1725  * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
1726  * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
1727  * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
1728  * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
1729  * @sta_notify callback.
1730  *
1731  * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
1732  * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
1733  * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
1734  * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
1735  * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
1736  * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
1737  * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
1738  * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
1739  * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
1740  * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
1741  * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
1742  * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
1743  * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
1744  * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
1745  *
1746  * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
1747  * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
1748  *
1749  * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
1750  * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
1751  * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
1752  * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
1753  * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
1754  * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
1755  * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
1756  * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
1757  * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
1758  * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
1759  * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
1760  *
1761  * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
1762  * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
1763  * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
1764  * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
1765  * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
1766  * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
1767  * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
1768  * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
1769  * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
1770  * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
1771  * to help the @more_data paramter is passed to tell the driver if
1772  * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
1773  * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
1774  * buffers for those TIDs contain.
1775  *
1776  * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
1777  * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
1778  * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
1779  * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
1780  * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
1781  * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe()
1782  * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
1783  *
1784  * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
1785  * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
1786  * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
1787  * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
1788  * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() in this case.

1790 
1791 /**
1792  * DOC: HW queue control
1793  *
1794  * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
1795  * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
1796  * was problematic for a few reasons:
1797  * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
1798  * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
1799  * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
1800  *
1801  * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
1802  * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
1803  * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
1804  *
1805  * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
1806  * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
1807  * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
1808  * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
1809  * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
1810  * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
1811  * the hardware queue.
1812  * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
1813  * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
1814  *
1815  * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
1816  * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
1817  * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
1818  * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
1819  * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
1820  *
1821  * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
1822  * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
1823  * after-DTIM queue for AP:   8
1824  * off-channel queue:         9
1825  *
1826  * It would then set up the hardware like this:
1827  *   hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
1828  *
1829  * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
1830  *   vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
1831  *   vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
1832  *   vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
1833  *   vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
1834  *   vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
1835  * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
1836  *
1837  * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
1838  * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
1839  *
1840  * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
1841  * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
1842  * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
1843  * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.

1954  *
1955  * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1956  *	skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1957  *	The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1958  *	configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1959  *	preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
1960  *	Must be atomic.
1961  *
1962  * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1963  *	is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1964  *	frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1965  *	Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1966  *	or zero.
1967  *	When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1968  *	to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1969  *	is added.
1970  *	Must be implemented and can sleep.
1971  *
1972  * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1973  *	is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1974  *	it must turn off frame reception.)
1975  *	May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1976  *	an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1977  *	you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
1978  *	Must be implemented and can sleep.
1979  *
1980  * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
1981  *	stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
1982  *	ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
1983  *	configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
1984  *	reconfigured at resume time.
1985  *	The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
1986  *	wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
1987  *	supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
1988  *	must return 1 from this function.
1989  *
1990  * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
1991  *	now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
1992  *	functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
1993  *	to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
1994  *	will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
1995  *
1996  * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
1997  *	modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
1998  *	supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
1999  *	in suspend().
2000  *
2001  * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
2002  *	enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
2003  *	and @stop must be implemented.
2004  *	The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
2005  *	the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
2006  *	interface is given in the conf parameter.
2007  *	The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
2008  *	negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
2009  *	Must be implemented and can sleep.
2010  *
2011  * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
2012  *	is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
2013  *	switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
2014  *	Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
2015  *	found by the interface iteration callbacks.
2016  *
2017  * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
2018  *	The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
2019  *	and no monitor interfaces are present.
2020  *	When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
2021  *	must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
2022  *	the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
2023  *	MAC address of the device going away.
2024  *	Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
2025  *
2026  * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
2027  *	function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
2028  *	This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
2029  *	if it does. The callback can sleep.
2030  *
2031  * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
2032  *	parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
2033  *	level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
2034  *	This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
2035  *	for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
2036  *	of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
2037  *	can sleep.
2038  *
2039  * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
2040  *	This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
2041  *	to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
2042  *
2043  * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
2044  *	See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
2045  *	This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
2046  *
2047  * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
2048  * 	must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
2049  *
2050  * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2051  *	This callback is only called between add_interface and
2052  *	remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
2053  *	is enabled.
2054  *	Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
2055  *	The callback can sleep.
2056  *
2057  * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
2058  * 	This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
2059  * 	which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
2060  *	The callback must be atomic.
2061  *
2062  * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
2063  *	host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
2064  *	necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
2065  *	After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
2066  *	userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
2067  *
2068  * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
2069  *	the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
2070  *	configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
2071  *	registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
2072  *	that power save is disabled.
2073  *	The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
2074  *	entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
2075  *	at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
2076  *	(extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
2077  *	When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
2078  *	note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
2079  *	any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
2080  *	The callback can sleep.
2081  *
2082  * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
2083  *	The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
2084  *	but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
2085  *	ieee80211_scan_completed().
2086  *	This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
2087  *	scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
2088  *	The callback can sleep.
2089  *
2090  * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
2091  *	specific intervals.  The driver must call the
2092  *	ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
2093  *	This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
2094  *
2095  * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
2096  *
2097  * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
2098  *	is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
2099  *	The callback can sleep.
2100  *
2101  * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
2102  *	software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
2103  *	this notification.
2104  *	The callback can sleep.
2105  *
2106  * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
2107  * 	Returns zero if statistics are available.
2108  *	The callback can sleep.
2109  *
2110  * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
2111  *	callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
2112  *	and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
2113  *	The callback must be atomic.
2114  *
2115  * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
2116  *	if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
2117  *	implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
2118  *	The callback can sleep.
2119  *
2120  * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
2121  *	The callback can sleep.
2122  *
2123  * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
2124  *	AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2125  *
2126  * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
2127  *	station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
2128  *
2129  * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
2130  *	associated station, AP,  IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
2131  *	in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
2132  *	%IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
2133  *
2134  * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
2135  *	station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
2136  *	This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
2137  *	It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
2138  *	up the list of states.
2139  *	The callback can sleep.
2140  *
2141  * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
2142  *	used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
2143  *	from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
2144  *	in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
2145  *	uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
2146  *	otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
2147  *	Must be atomic.
2148  *
2149  * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
2150  *	bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
2151  *	Returns a negative error code on failure.
2152  *	The callback can sleep.
2153  *
2154  * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
2155  *	this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
2156  *	required function.
2157  *	The callback can sleep.
2158  *
2159  * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
2160  *      Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
2161  *	required function.
2162  *	The callback can sleep.
2163  *
2164  * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
2165  *	with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
2166  *	function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
2167  *	TSF synchronization.
2168  *	The callback can sleep.
2169  *
2170  * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
2171  *	This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
2172  *	used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
2173  *	Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
2174  *	The callback can sleep.
2175  *
2176  * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
2177  * 	The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
2178  * 	the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
2179  * 	ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
2180  * 	is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
2181  * 	that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
2182  *	The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
2183  *	%IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
2184  *	buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
2185  *	may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
2186  *	nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
2187  *	buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
2188  *	possible with a buf_size of 8:
2189  *	 - TX: 1.....7
2190  *	 - RX:  2....7 (lost frame #1)
2191  *	 - TX:        8..1...
2192  *	which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
2193  *	buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
2194  *	 - TX:       1 or 18 or 81
2195  *	Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
2196  *
2197  *	Returns a negative error code on failure.
2198  *	The callback can sleep.
2199  *
2200  * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
2201  *
2202  * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
2203  *	need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
2204  *	and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
2205  *	The callback can sleep.
2206  *
2207  * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
2208  *	in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
2209  *	accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
2210  *
2211  * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
2212  *	The callback can sleep.
2213  * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
2214  *
2215  * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
2216  *	that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
2217  *	to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
2218  *
2219  * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
2220  *	switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
2221  *	callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
2222  *	completion of the channel switch.
2223  *
2224  * @napi_poll: Poll Rx queue for incoming data frames.
2225  *
2226  * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
2227  *	Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
2228  *	reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
2229  *	(also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
2230  *
2231  * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
2232  *
2233  * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
2234  *	call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
2235  *	that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
2236  *	offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
2237  *	normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
2238  *	duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
2239  *	ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
2240  *	Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
2241  *	must be accepted in this case.
2242  *	This callback may sleep.
2243  * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
2244  *	aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
2245  *
2246  * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
2247  *
2248  * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
2249  *
2250  * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
2251  *	queues before entering power save.
2252  *
2253  * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
2254  *	when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
2255  *	The callback can sleep.
2256  * @rssi_callback: Notify driver when the average RSSI goes above/below
2257  *	thresholds that were registered previously. The callback can sleep.
2258  *
2259  * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
2260  *	parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
2261  *	sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
2262  *	to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
2263  *	Note that if the @more_data paramter is %false the driver must check
2264  *	if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
2265  *	the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
2266  *	the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
2267  *	more-data bit must always be set.
2268  *	The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
2269  *	from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
2270  *	In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
2271  *	@num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
2272  *	this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2273  *	on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
2274  *	period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
2275  *	responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
2276  *	In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
2277  *	bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
2278  *	at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
2279  *	setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
2280  *	service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
2281  *	on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
2282  *	ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
2283  *	This callback must be atomic.
2284  * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
2285  *	to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
2286  *	via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
2287  *	released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
2288  *	and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
2289  *	frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
2290  *	them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
2291  *	on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
2292  *	bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
2293  *	ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() function.
2294  *	The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
2295  *	frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
2296  *	This callback must be atomic.
2297  *
2298  * @get_et_sset_count:  Ethtool API to get string-set count.
2299  *
2300  * @get_et_stats:  Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
2301  *
2302  * @get_et_strings:  Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
2303  *	and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
2304  *
2305  * @get_rssi: Get current signal strength in dBm, the function is optional
2306  *	and can sleep.
2307  *
2308  * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
2309  *	before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
2310  *	bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
2311  *	yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
2312  *	transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
2313  *	powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
2314  *	management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
2315  *	driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
2316  *	and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
2317  *	The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
2318  *	mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
2319  *	The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
