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
f0706e82
JB
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
2485f710
JB
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
6ef307bc 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
77 *
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.

86 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

1244 *
1245 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if

1273/**
1274 * DOC: Powersave support
1275 *
1276 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1277 *
c99445b1
KV
1278 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1279 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1280 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1281 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1282 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1283 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1284 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1285 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1286 *
1287 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1288 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1289 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
2738bd68
BC
1290 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1291 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
c99445b1
KV
1292 *
1293 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1294 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1295 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
4be8c387
JB
1296 *
1297 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1298 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1299 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1300 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
955394c9
JB
1301 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1302 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
c99445b1
KV
1303 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1304 *
1305 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1306 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1307 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1308 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1309 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1310 * periods.
1311 *
2738bd68 1312 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
c99445b1
KV
1313 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1314 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1315 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1316 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1317 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1318 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1319 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1320 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1321 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1322 *
f90754c1
JO
1323 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1324 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1325 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1326 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1327 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1328 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1329 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1330 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1331 *
c99445b1
KV
1332 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1333 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1334 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1335 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1336 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1337 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1338 *
1339 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1340 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.

1343/**
1344 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1345 *
1346 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1347 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1348 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1349 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1350 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1351 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1352 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1353 *
955394c9
JB
1354 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1355 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1356 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1357 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1358 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1359 *
1360 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1361 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1362 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1363 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1364 *
1365 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1366 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1367 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1368 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1369 * - a list of information element IDs
1370 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1371 *
1372 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1373 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1374 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1375 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1376 * vendor information elements.
1377 *
1378 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1379 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1380 *
1381 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1382 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1383 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1384 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1385 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1386 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1387 *
1388 *
1389 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1390 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1391 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1392 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1393 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1394 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1395 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1396 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1397 *
1398 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1399 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1400 * signal strength threshold checking.

1404 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1405 *
1406 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve

1408 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1409 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1410 *
1411 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1412 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1413 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the

1419 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1420 * turned off otherwise.
1421 *
1422 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate

1429 * DOC: Frame filtering
1430 *
1431 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1432 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1433 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1434 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1435 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1436 *
1437 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1438 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1439 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1440 *
3ac64bee
JB
1441 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1442 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1443 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1444 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1445 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1446 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1447 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
75a5f0cc
JB
1448 *
1449 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1450 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1451 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1452 * or dropped.
1453 *
d0f5afbe
MB
1454 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1455 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1456 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1457 * the flag, but not clear it.
1458 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1459 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1460 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1461 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1462 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1463 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1464 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.

1543/**
1544 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
1545 *
1546 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
1547 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
1548 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1549 *
1550 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1551 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1552 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
eefce91a
JB
1553 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1554 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1555 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
6dd1bf31
BC
1556 * This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
1557 * limited cases.
eefce91a 1558 * Must be implemented and atomic.
75a5f0cc
JB
1559 *
1560 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1561 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1562 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1563 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1564 * or zero.
1565 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1566 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1567 * is added.
e1781ed3 1568 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
75a5f0cc
JB
1569 *
1570 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1571 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1572 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1573 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
42935eca
LR
1574 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1575 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
e1781ed3 1576 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
75a5f0cc
JB
1577 *
1578 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
e37d4dff 1579 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
75a5f0cc
JB
1580 * and @stop must be implemented.
1581 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1582 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1583 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1584 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1585 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
e1781ed3 1586 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1587 *
34d4bc4d
JB
1588 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
1589 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
1590 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
1591 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
1592 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
1593 *
75a5f0cc
JB
1594 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1595 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1596 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1597 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1598 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1599 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1600 * MAC address of the device going away.
e1781ed3 1601 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
75a5f0cc
JB
1602 *
1603 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1604 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
6dd1bf31 1605 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
e1781ed3 1606 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1607 *
471b3efd
JB
1608 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1609 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1610 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1611 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1612 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
e1781ed3
KV
1613 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1614 * can sleep.
471b3efd 1615 *
3ac64bee
JB
1616 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
1617 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
1618 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
1619 *
75a5f0cc
JB
1620 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1621 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
e1781ed3 1622 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1623 *
546c80c9 1624 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
17741cdc 1625 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
75a5f0cc
JB
1626 *
1627 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
e1781ed3
KV
1628 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
1629 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
dc822b5d 1630 * is enabled.
6dd1bf31 1631 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
e1781ed3 1632 * The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1633 *
9ae4fda3
EG
1634 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1635 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1636 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
eb807fb2 1637 * The callback must be atomic.
9ae4fda3 1638 *
75a5f0cc 1639 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
8318d78a 1640 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
9050bdd8
KV
1641 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1642 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
de95a54b
JB
1643 * that power save is disabled.
1644 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1645 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1646 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1647 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1648 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1649 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1650 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
e1781ed3 1651 * The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1652 *
80e775bf
MB
1653 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1654 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
e1781ed3 1655 * The callback can sleep.
80e775bf 1656 *
e1781ed3
KV
1657 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
1658 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need

6dd1bf31
BC
1662 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
1663 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
e1781ed3 1664 * The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1665 *
62da92fb
JB
1666 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1667 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1668 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
e1781ed3 1669 * The callback must be atomic.
75a5f0cc 1670 *
f23a4780
AN
1671 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
1672 * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
1673 * implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
1674 * The callback can sleep.
1675 *
75a5f0cc 1676 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
e1781ed3 1677 * The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1678 *
34e89507
JB
1679 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
1680 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1681 *
1682 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
1683 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1684 *
1685 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
1686 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Must be atomic.
4571d3bf 1687 *
75a5f0cc 1688 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
fe3fa827 1689 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
6dd1bf31 1690 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
e1781ed3 1691 * The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1692 *
75a5f0cc 1693 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
3b5d665b 1694 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a

e1781ed3 1696 * The callback can sleep.
3b5d665b
AF
1697 *
1698 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
1699 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a

e1781ed3 1701 * The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc
JB
1702 *
1703 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1704 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1705 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1706 * TSF synchronization.
e1781ed3 1707 * The callback can sleep.
75a5f0cc 1708 *
75a5f0cc
JB
1709 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1710 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1711 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.

e1781ed3 1713 * The callback can sleep.
d3c990fb 1714 *
1b7d03ac
RR
1715 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1716 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
