30 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
31 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
32 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
37 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
39 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
40 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
41 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
42 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
43 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
46 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
47 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
53 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
54 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
60 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
61 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
62 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
65 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
67 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
68 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
70 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
71 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
75 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
77 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
78 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
79 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
80 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
82 * mac80211 will flush the workqueue upon interface removal and during
85 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.
90 * DOC: mac80211 software tx queueing
92 * mac80211 uses an intermediate queueing implementation, designed to allow the
93 * driver to keep hardware queues short and to provide some fairness between
94 * different stations/interfaces.
96 * Drivers must provide the .wake_tx_queue driver operation by either
97 * linking it to ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue() or implementing a custom
100 * Intermediate queues (struct ieee80211_txq) are kept per-sta per-tid, with
101 * another per-sta for non-data/non-mgmt and bufferable management frames, and
102 * a single per-vif queue for multicast data frames.
104 * The driver is expected to initialize its private per-queue data for stations
105 * and interfaces in the .add_interface and .sta_add ops.
107 * The driver can't access the internal TX queues (iTXQs) directly.
108 * Whenever mac80211 adds a new frame to a queue, it calls the .wake_tx_queue
110 * Drivers implementing a custom .wake_tx_queue op can get them by calling
111 * ieee80211_tx_dequeue(). Drivers using ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue() will
112 * simply get the individual frames pushed via the .tx driver operation.
114 * Drivers can optionally delegate responsibility for scheduling queues to
115 * mac80211, to take advantage of airtime fairness accounting. In this case, to
116 * obtain the next queue to pull frames from, the driver calls
117 * ieee80211_next_txq(). The driver is then expected to return the txq using
118 * ieee80211_return_txq().
120 * For AP powersave TIM handling, the driver only needs to indicate if it has
121 * buffered packets in the driver specific data structures by calling
122 * ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(). For frames buffered in the ieee80211_txq
123 * struct, mac80211 sets the appropriate TIM PVB bits and calls
124 * .release_buffered_frames().
125 * In that callback the driver is therefore expected to release its own
126 * buffered frames and afterwards also frames from the ieee80211_txq (obtained
127 * via the usual ieee80211_tx_dequeue).
131 * DOC: HW timestamping
133 * Timing Measurement and Fine Timing Measurement require accurate timestamps
134 * of the action frames TX/RX and their respective acks.
136 * To report hardware timestamps for Timing Measurement or Fine Timing
137 * Measurement frame RX, the low level driver should set the SKB's hwtstamp
138 * field to the frame RX timestamp and report the ack TX timestamp in the
139 * ieee80211_rx_status struct.
141 * Similarly, to report hardware timestamps for Timing Measurement or Fine
142 * Timing Measurement frame TX, the driver should set the SKB's hwtstamp field
143 * to the frame TX timestamp and report the ack RX timestamp in the
144 * ieee80211_tx_status struct.

778 * enum mac80211_tx_info_flags - flags to describe transmission information/status
780 * These flags are used with the @flags member of &ieee80211_tx_info.
782 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
783 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
784 * number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
785 * number and increasing the sequence number only when the
786 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
787 * assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
788 * for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
789 * that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
790 * If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
791 * assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
792 * 802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
793 * beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
794 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
795 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
797 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
798 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
799 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
800 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
801 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
802 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
803 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
804 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
805 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
806 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
807 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
808 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
810 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
811 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
812 * is for the whole aggregation.
813 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
814 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
815 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
816 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
817 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
818 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK: Internal to mac80211. Used to indicate
819 * that a frame can be transmitted while the queues are stopped for
820 * off-channel operation.
821 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_HW_80211_ENCAP: This frame uses hardware encapsulation
822 * (header conversion)
823 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
824 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
825 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
826 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
827 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
828 * frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
829 * be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
830 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
831 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
832 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
834 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
835 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
836 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
837 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_MLME_CONN_TX: This frame was transmitted by the MLME
838 * code for connection establishment, this indicates that its status
839 * should kick the MLME state machine.
840 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
841 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
842 * status to user space)
843 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
844 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
845 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
846 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
847 * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
848 * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
849 * handled properly by the device.
850 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
851 * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
852 * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
853 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
854 * This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
855 * frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
856 * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
857 * when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
858 * an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
859 * the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
861 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
862 * This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
863 * the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
864 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
865 * would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
866 * monitor injection).
867 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_NOACK_TRANSMITTED: A frame that was marked with
868 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK has been successfully transmitted without
869 * any errors (like issues specific to the driver/HW).
870 * This flag must not be set for frames that don't request no-ack
871 * behaviour with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK.
873 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
874 * forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

1343 * @RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED: the Michael MIC is stripped off this frame,
1344 * verification has been done by the hardware.
1345 * @RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED: The IV and ICV are stripped from this frame.
1346 * If this flag is set, the stack cannot do any replay detection
1347 * hence the driver or hardware will have to do that.
1348 * @RX_FLAG_PN_VALIDATED: Currently only valid for CCMP/GCMP frames, this
1349 * flag indicates that the PN was verified for replay protection.
1350 * Note that this flag is also currently only supported when a frame
1351 * is also decrypted (ie. @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED must be set)
1352 * @RX_FLAG_DUP_VALIDATED: The driver should set this flag if it did
1353 * de-duplication by itself.
1354 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC: Set this flag if the FCS check failed on
1356 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC: Set this flag if the PCLP check failed on
1358 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1359 * field) is valid if this field is non-zero, and the position
1360 * where the timestamp was sampled depends on the value.
1361 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1362 * field) is valid and contains the time the first symbol of the MPDU
1363 * was received. This is useful in monitor mode and for proper IBSS
1365 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_END: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1366 * field) is valid and contains the time the last symbol of the MPDU
1367 * (including FCS) was received.
1368 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_PLCP_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1369 * field) is valid and contains the time the SYNC preamble was received.
1370 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_IS_RTAP_TS64: The timestamp passed in the RX status @mactime
1371 * is only for use in the radiotap timestamp header, not otherwise a valid
1372 * @mactime value. Note this is a separate flag so that we continue to see
1373 * %RX_FLAG_MACTIME as unset. Also note that in this case the timestamp is
1374 * reported to be 64 bits wide, not just 32.
1375 * @RX_FLAG_NO_SIGNAL_VAL: The signal strength value is not present.
1376 * Valid only for data frames (mainly A-MPDU)
1377 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DETAILS: A-MPDU details are known, in particular the reference
1378 * number (@ampdu_reference) must be populated and be a distinct number for
1380 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_LAST_KNOWN: last subframe is known, should be set on all
1381 * subframes of a single A-MPDU
1382 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_IS_LAST: this subframe is the last subframe of the A-MPDU
1383 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_ERROR: A delimiter CRC error has been detected
1385 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_KNOWN: The delimiter CRC field is known (the CRC
1386 * is stored in the @ampdu_delimiter_crc field)
1387 * @RX_FLAG_MIC_STRIPPED: The mic was stripped of this packet. Decryption was
1388 * done by the hardware
1389 * @RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR: Report frame only to monitor interfaces without
1390 * processing it in any regular way.
1391 * This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
1392 * them for sniffing purposes.
1393 * @RX_FLAG_SKIP_MONITOR: Process and report frame to all interfaces except
1394 * monitor interfaces.
1395 * This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
1396 * them for sniffing purposes.
1397 * @RX_FLAG_AMSDU_MORE: Some drivers may prefer to report separate A-MSDU
1398 * subframes instead of a one huge frame for performance reasons.
1399 * All, but the last MSDU from an A-MSDU should have this flag set. E.g.
1400 * if an A-MSDU has 3 frames, the first 2 must have the flag set, while
1401 * the 3rd (last) one must not have this flag set. The flag is used to
1402 * deal with retransmission/duplication recovery properly since A-MSDU
1403 * subframes share the same sequence number. Reported subframes can be
1404 * either regular MSDU or singly A-MSDUs. Subframes must not be
1405 * interleaved with other frames.
1406 * @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_TLV_AT_END: This frame contains radiotap TLVs in the
1407 * skb->data (before the 802.11 header).
1408 * If used, the SKB's mac_header pointer must be set to point
1409 * to the 802.11 header after the TLVs, and any padding added after TLV
1410 * data to align to 4 must be cleared by the driver putting the TLVs
1412 * @RX_FLAG_ALLOW_SAME_PN: Allow the same PN as same packet before.
1413 * This is used for AMSDU subframes which can have the same PN as
1414 * the first subframe.
1415 * @RX_FLAG_ICV_STRIPPED: The ICV is stripped from this frame. CRC checking must
1416 * be done in the hardware.
1417 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_EOF_BIT: Value of the EOF bit in the A-MPDU delimiter for this
1419 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_EOF_BIT_KNOWN: The EOF value is known
1420 * @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_HE: HE radiotap data is present
1421 * (&struct ieee80211_radiotap_he, mac80211 will fill in
1427 * - DATA5_DATA_BW_RU_ALLOC

2595 * @IEEE80211_HW_TDLS_WIDER_BW: The device/driver supports wider bandwidth
2596 * than then BSS bandwidth for a TDLS link on the base channel.
2598 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_AMSDU_IN_AMPDU: The driver supports receiving A-MSDUs
2601 * @IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS: The device/driver provides TX status
2604 * @IEEE80211_HW_NEEDS_UNIQUE_STA_ADDR: Hardware (or driver) requires that each
2605 * station has a unique address, i.e. each station entry can be identified
2606 * by just its MAC address; this prevents, for example, the same station
2607 * from connecting to two virtual AP interfaces at the same time.
2609 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_REORDERING_BUFFER: Hardware (or driver) manages the
2610 * reordering buffer internally, guaranteeing mac80211 receives frames in
2611 * order and does not need to manage its own reorder buffer or BA session
2614 * @IEEE80211_HW_USES_RSS: The device uses RSS and thus requires parallel RX,
2615 * which implies using per-CPU station statistics.
2617 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMSDU: Hardware (or driver) supports software aggregated
2618 * A-MSDU frames. Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support.
2619 * When not using minstrel/minstrel_ht rate control, the driver must
2620 * limit the maximum A-MSDU size based on the current tx rate by setting
2621 * max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.
2623 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_FRAG_LIST: Hardware (or driver) supports sending frag_list
2624 * skbs, needed for zero-copy software A-MSDU.
2626 * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_LOW_ACK: The driver (or firmware) reports low ack event
2627 * by ieee80211_report_low_ack() based on its own algorithm. For such
2628 * drivers, mac80211 packet loss mechanism will not be triggered and driver
2629 * is completely depending on firmware event for station kickout.
2631 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG: Hardware does fragmentation by itself.
2632 * The stack will not do fragmentation.
2633 * The callback for @set_frag_threshold should be set as well.
2635 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TDLS_BUFFER_STA: Hardware supports buffer STA on
2638 * @IEEE80211_HW_DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP: The driver requires the
2639 * mgd_prepare_tx() callback to be called before transmission of a
2640 * deauthentication frame in case the association was completed but no
2641 * beacon was heard. This is required in multi-channel scenarios, where the
2642 * virtual interface might not be given air time for the transmission of
2643 * the frame, as it is not synced with the AP/P2P GO yet, and thus the
2644 * deauthentication frame might not be transmitted.
2646 * @IEEE80211_HW_DOESNT_SUPPORT_QOS_NDP: The driver (or firmware) doesn't
2647 * support QoS NDP for AP probing - that's most likely a driver bug.
2649 * @IEEE80211_HW_BUFF_MMPDU_TXQ: use the TXQ for bufferable MMPDUs, this of
2650 * course requires the driver to use TXQs to start with.
2652 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_VHT_EXT_NSS_BW: (Hardware) rate control supports VHT
2653 * extended NSS BW (dot11VHTExtendedNSSBWCapable). This flag will be set if
2654 * the selected rate control algorithm sets %RATE_CTRL_CAPA_VHT_EXT_NSS_BW
2655 * but if the rate control is built-in then it must be set by the driver.
2656 * See also the documentation for that flag.
2658 * @IEEE80211_HW_STA_MMPDU_TXQ: use the extra non-TID per-station TXQ for all
2659 * MMPDUs on station interfaces. This of course requires the driver to use
2660 * TXQs to start with.
2662 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_STATUS_NO_AMPDU_LEN: Driver does not report accurate A-MPDU
2663 * length in tx status information
2665 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_MULTI_BSSID: Hardware supports multi BSSID
2667 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_ONLY_HE_MULTI_BSSID: Hardware supports multi BSSID
2668 * only for HE APs. Applies if @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_MULTI_BSSID is set.
2670 * @IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_KEYBORDER_SUPPORT: The card and driver is only
2671 * aggregating MPDUs with the same keyid, allowing mac80211 to keep Tx
2672 * A-MPDU sessions active while rekeying with Extended Key ID.
2674 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_ENCAP_OFFLOAD: Hardware supports tx encapsulation
2677 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RX_DECAP_OFFLOAD: Hardware supports rx decapsulation
2680 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CONC_MON_RX_DECAP: Hardware supports concurrent rx
2681 * decapsulation offload and passing raw 802.11 frames for monitor iface.
2682 * If this is supported, the driver must pass both 802.3 frames for real
2683 * usage and 802.11 frames with %RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR set for monitor to
2686 * @IEEE80211_HW_DETECTS_COLOR_COLLISION: HW/driver has support for BSS color
2687 * collision detection and doesn't need it in software.
2689 * @IEEE80211_HW_MLO_MCAST_MULTI_LINK_TX: Hardware/driver handles transmitting
2690 * multicast frames on all links, mac80211 should not do that.
2692 * @IEEE80211_HW_DISALLOW_PUNCTURING: HW requires disabling puncturing in EHT

3050 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
3052 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
3053 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
3055 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
3056 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
3057 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
3058 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
3059 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
3060 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
3061 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
3063 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
3064 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
3065 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
3067 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
3068 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
3069 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
3070 * hardware key index. You are free to use the full u8 range.
3072 * Note that in the case that the @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL flag is
3073 * set, mac80211 will not automatically fall back to software crypto if
3074 * enabling hardware crypto failed. The set_key() call may also return the
3075 * value 1 to permit this specific key/algorithm to be done in software.
3077 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
3079 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
3080 * for it has been uploaded to hardware. The stack will not make any
3081 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
3082 * based on the receive flags.
3084 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
3085 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
3086 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
3089 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
3090 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
3092 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
3093 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
3094 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
3095 * rekeying); it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
3096 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
3097 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
3099 * The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index

3103 * Mac80211 drivers should set the @NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0 flag
3104 * when they are able to replace in-use PTK keys according to the following
3106 * 1) They do not hand over frames decrypted with the old key to mac80211
3107 once the call to set_key() with command %DISABLE_KEY has been completed,
3108 2) either drop or continue to use the old key for any outgoing frames queued
3109 at the time of the key deletion (including re-transmits),
3110 3) never send out a frame queued prior to the set_key() %SET_KEY command
3111 encrypted with the new key when also needing
3112 @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV and
3113 4) never send out a frame unencrypted when it should be encrypted.
3114 Mac80211 will not queue any new frames for a deleted key to the driver.
3118 * DOC: Powersave support
3120 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
3122 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself;
3123 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
3124 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
3125 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
3126 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
3127 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
3128 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
3129 * it finds traffic directed to it.
3131 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
3132 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
3133 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
3134 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
3135 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
3137 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
3138 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
3139 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
3141 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
3142 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
3143 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
3144 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
3145 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
3146 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
3147 * as best as it can; mac80211 is too slow to do that.
3149 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
3150 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
3151 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
3152 * the next wakeup. It's a compromise of getting good enough latency when
3153 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
3156 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
3157 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
3158 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
3159 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
3160 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
3161 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
3162 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
3163 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
3164 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
3165 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
3167 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
3168 * %IEEE80211_VIF_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
3169 * uapsd parameter in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
3170 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
3171 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
3172 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
3174 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
3175 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
3179 * DOC: Beacon filter support
3181 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
3182 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
3183 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
3184 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
3185 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
3186 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
3187 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
3189 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
3190 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
3191 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
3192 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
3193 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
3195 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
3196 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
3197 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
3198 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
3200 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
3201 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
3202 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
3203 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
3205 * - a list of information element IDs
3206 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
3208 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
3209 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
3210 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
3211 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
3212 * vendor information elements.
3214 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
3215 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
3217 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead. Just make sure nothing
3218 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
3219 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
3220 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
3221 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
3222 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
3225 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
3226 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
3227 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
3228 * the received data packets). This can consist of notifying the host when
3229 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
3230 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
3231 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
3232 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
3234 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
3235 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
3236 * signal strength threshold checking.
3240 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
3242 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
3243 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
3244 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
3245 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
3247 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
3248 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
3249 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
3250 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
3251 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
3254 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
3255 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
3256 * turned off otherwise.
3258 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
3259 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
3260 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
3261 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
3265 * DOC: Frame filtering
3267 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
3268 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
3269 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
3270 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
3271 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
3273 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
3274 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
3275 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
3277 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
3278 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
3279 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
3280 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
3281 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
3282 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
3283 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
3285 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
3286 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
3287 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
3290 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
3291 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
3292 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
3293 * the flag, but not clear it.
3294 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
3295 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
3296 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
3297 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
3298 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
3299 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
3300 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
3301 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
3305 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
3307 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
3308 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
3309 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
3311 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
3312 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
3313 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
3314 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
3317 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
3318 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
3319 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
3320 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
3321 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
3322 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
3323 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
3325 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
3326 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
3327 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
3328 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
3329 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
3330 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
3331 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
3332 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
3333 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
3334 * @sta_notify callback.
3336 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
3337 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
3338 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
3339 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
3340 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
3341 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
3342 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
3343 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
3344 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
3345 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
3346 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
3347 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
3348 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
3349 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
3351 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
3352 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
3354 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
3355 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
3356 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
3357 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
3358 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
3359 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
3360 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
3361 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
3362 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
3363 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
3364 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
3366 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
3367 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
3368 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
3369 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
3370 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
3371 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
3372 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
3373 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
3374 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
3375 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames.
3376 * To help the @more_data parameter is passed to tell the driver if
3377 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
3378 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
3379 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
3381 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
3382 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
3383 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
3384 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
3385 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
3386 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp()
3387 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
3389 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
3390 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
3391 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
3392 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
3393 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp() in this case.
3395 * Note that if the driver ever buffers frames other than QoS-data
3396 * frames, it must take care to never send a non-QoS-data frame as
3397 * the last frame in a service period, adding a QoS-nulldata frame
3398 * after a non-QoS-data frame if needed.
3402 * DOC: HW queue control
3404 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
3405 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
3406 * was problematic for a few reasons:
3407 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
3408 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
3409 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
3411 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
3412 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
3413 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
3415 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
3416 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
3417 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
3418 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
3419 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
3420 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
3421 * the hardware queue.
3422 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
3423 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
3425 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed; multiple virtual
3426 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
3427 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
3428 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
3429 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
3431 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
3432 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
3433 * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
3434 * off-channel queue: 9
3436 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
3437 * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
3439 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
3440 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
3441 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
3442 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
3443 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
3444 * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
3445 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
3447 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
3448 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
3450 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
3451 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
3452 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
3453 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.
3457 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
3459 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
3460 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the

3462 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.

3652 struct ieee80211_prep_tx_info {
3660 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
3662 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
3663 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
3664 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
3666 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
3667 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
3668 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
3669 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
3670 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
3673 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
3674 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
3675 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
3676 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
3678 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
3679 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
3681 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3683 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
3684 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
3685 * it must turn off frame reception.)
3686 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
3687 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
3688 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
3689 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3691 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
3692 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
3693 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
3694 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
3695 * reconfigured at resume time.
3696 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
3697 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
3698 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
3699 * must return 1 from this function.
3701 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
3702 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
3703 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
3704 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
3705 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
3707 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
3708 * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
3709 * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
3712 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
3713 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
3714 * and @stop must be implemented.
3715 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
3716 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
3717 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
3718 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
3719 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
3720 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3722 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
3723 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
3724 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
3725 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
3726 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
3728 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
3729 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
3730 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
3731 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
3732 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
3733 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
3734 * MAC address of the device going away.
3735 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
3737 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
3738 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
3739 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
3740 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
3742 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
3743 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
3744 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
3745 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
3746 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
3747 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
3749 * Note: this callback is called if @vif_cfg_changed or @link_info_changed
3750 * are not implemented.
3752 * @vif_cfg_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to interface
3753 * (MLD) parameters from &struct ieee80211_vif_cfg that vary during the
3754 * lifetime of the interface (e.g. assoc status, IP addresses, etc.)
3755 * The @changed parameter indicates which value changed.
3756 * The callback can sleep.
3758 * @link_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to link
3759 * parameters from &struct ieee80211_bss_conf that are related to an
3760 * individual link. e.g. legacy/HT/VHT/... rate information.
3761 * The @changed parameter indicates which value changed, and the @link_id
3762 * parameter indicates the link ID. Note that the @link_id will be 0 for
3763 * non-MLO connections.
3764 * The callback can sleep.
3766 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
3767 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
3768 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
3770 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
3771 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
3772 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
3774 * @config_iface_filter: Configure the interface's RX filter.
3775 * This callback is optional and is used to configure which frames
3776 * should be passed to mac80211. The filter_flags is the combination
3777 * of FIF_* flags. The changed_flags is a bit mask that indicates
3778 * which flags are changed.
3779 * This callback can sleep.
3781 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
3782 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
3784 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
3785 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
3786 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
3788 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
3789 * The callback can sleep.
3791 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
3792 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
3793 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
3794 * The callback must be atomic.
3796 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
3797 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
3798 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
3799 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
3800 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
3802 * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
3803 * WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
3804 * offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
3806 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
3807 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
3808 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
3809 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
3810 * that power save is disabled.
3811 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
3812 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
3813 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
3814 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
3815 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
3816 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
3817 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
3818 * This callback is also allowed to return the special return value 1,
3819 * this indicates that hardware scan isn't desirable right now and a
3820 * software scan should be done instead. A driver wishing to use this
3821 * capability must ensure its (hardware) scan capabilities aren't
3822 * advertised as more capable than mac80211's software scan is.
3823 * The callback can sleep.
3825 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
3826 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
3827 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
3828 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
3829 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
3830 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
3831 * The callback can sleep.
3833 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
3834 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
3835 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
3836 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
3838 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
3839 * In this case, ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() must not be called.
3841 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
3842 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
3843 * The mac_addr parameter allows supporting NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR,
3844 * the driver may set the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR flag if it
3845 * can use this parameter. The callback can sleep.
3847 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
3848 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
3849 * this notification.
3850 * The callback can sleep.
3852 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
3853 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
3854 * The callback can sleep.
3856 * @get_key_seq: If your device implements encryption in hardware and does
3857 * IV/PN assignment then this callback should be provided to read the
3858 * IV/PN for the given key from hardware.
3859 * The callback must be atomic.
3861 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
3862 * if the device does fragmentation by itself. Note that to prevent the
3863 * stack from doing fragmentation IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG
3864 * should be set as well.
3865 * The callback can sleep.
3867 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
3868 * The callback can sleep.
3870 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
3871 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
3873 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
3874 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Note that after the callback
3875 * returns it isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected;
3876 * no RCU grace period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing
3877 * the station. See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
3878 * This callback can sleep.
3880 * @vif_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add a debugfs vif
3881 * directory with its files. This callback should be within a
3882 * CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS conditional. This callback can sleep.
3884 * @link_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
3885 * when a link is added to a mac80211 vif. This callback should be within
3886 * a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS conditional. This callback can sleep.
3887 * For non-MLO the callback will be called once for the default bss_conf
3888 * with the vif's directory rather than a separate subdirectory.
3890 * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
3891 * when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
3892 * should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS conditional. This
3893 * callback can sleep.
3895 * @link_sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
3896 * when a link is added to a mac80211 station. This callback
3897 * should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS conditional. This
3898 * callback can sleep.
3899 * For non-MLO the callback will be called once for the deflink with the
3900 * station's directory rather than a separate subdirectory.
3902 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
3903 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
3904 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
3905 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
3907 * @sta_set_txpwr: Configure the station tx power. This callback set the tx
3908 * power for the station.
3909 * This callback can sleep.
3911 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
3912 * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
3913 * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
3914 * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
3915 * up the list of states. Also note that after the callback returns it
3916 * isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected - no RCU grace
3917 * period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing the station.
3918 * See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
3919 * The callback can sleep.
3921 * @sta_pre_rcu_remove: Notify driver about station removal before RCU
3922 * synchronisation. This is useful if a driver needs to have station
3923 * pointers protected using RCU, it can then use this call to clear
3924 * the pointers instead of waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse
3926 * The callback can sleep.
3928 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
3929 * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
3930 * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
3931 * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
3932 * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
3933 * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
3935 * @sta_rate_tbl_update: Notifies the driver that the rate table changed. This
3936 * is only used if the configured rate control algorithm actually uses
3937 * the new rate table API, and is therefore optional. Must be atomic.
3939 * @sta_statistics: Get statistics for this station. For example with beacon
3940 * filtering, the statistics kept by mac80211 might not be accurate, so
3941 * let the driver pre-fill the statistics. The driver can fill most of
3942 * the values (indicating which by setting the filled bitmap), but not
3943 * all of them make sense - see the source for which ones are possible.
3944 * Statistics that the driver doesn't fill will be filled by mac80211.
3945 * The callback can sleep.
3947 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
3948 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
3949 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
3950 * The callback can sleep.
3952 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
3953 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
3954 * required function.
3955 * The callback can sleep.
3957 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
3958 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
3959 * required function.
3960 * The callback can sleep.
3962 * @offset_tsf: Offset the TSF timer by the specified value in the
3963 * firmware/hardware. Preferred to set_tsf as it avoids delay between
3964 * calling set_tsf() and hardware getting programmed, which will show up
3965 * as TSF delay. Is not a required function.
3966 * The callback can sleep.
3968 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
3969 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
3970 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
3971 * TSF synchronization.
3972 * The callback can sleep.
3974 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
3975 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
3976 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
3977 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
3978 * The callback can sleep.
3980 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
3982 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
3983 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
3984 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
3985 * The callback can sleep.
3987 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
3988 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
3989 * accordingly; coverage class equals to -1 to enable ACK timeout
3990 * estimation algorithm (dynack). To disable dynack set valid value for
3991 * coverage class. This callback is not required and may sleep.
3993 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command. The passed @vif may
3994 * be %NULL. The callback can sleep.
3995 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
3997 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
3998 * that the hardware queues are empty. The @queues parameter is a bitmap
3999 * of queues to flush, which is useful if different virtual interfaces
4000 * use different hardware queues; it may also indicate all queues.
4001 * If the parameter @drop is set to %true, pending frames may be dropped.
4002 * Note that vif can be NULL.
4003 * The callback can sleep.
4005 * @flush_sta: Flush or drop all pending frames from the hardware queue(s) for
4006 * the given station, as it's about to be removed.
4007 * The callback can sleep.
4009 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
4010 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
4011 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
4012 * completion of the channel switch.
4014 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
4015 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
4016 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
4017 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
4019 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
4021 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
4022 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
4023 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
4024 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
4025 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
4026 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
4027 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
4028 * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
4029 * must be accepted in this case.
4030 * This callback may sleep.
4031 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
4032 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
4034 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
4036 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
4038 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
4039 * queues before entering power save.
4041 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
4042 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
4043 * The callback can sleep.
4044 * @event_callback: Notify driver about any event in mac80211. See
4045 * &enum ieee80211_event_type for the different types.
4046 * The callback must be atomic.
4048 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
4049 * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
4050 * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
4051 * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
4052 * Note that if the @more_data parameter is %false the driver must check
4053 * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
4054 * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
4055 * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
4056 * more-data bit must always be set.
4057 * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
4058 * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
4059 * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
4060 * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
4061 * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
4062 * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
4063 * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
4064 * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
4065 * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
4066 * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
4067 * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
4068 * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
4069 * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
4070 * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
4071 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
4072 * This callback must be atomic.
4073 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
4074 * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
4075 * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
4076 * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
4077 * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
4078 * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
4079 * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
4080 * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
4081 * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
4082 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() function.
4083 * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
4084 * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
4085 * This callback must be atomic.
4087 * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
4088 * Note that the wiphy mutex is not held for this callback since it's
4089 * expected to return a static value.
4091 * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
4093 * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
4094 * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
4095 * Note that the wiphy mutex is not held for this callback since it's
4096 * expected to return a static value.
4098 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
4099 * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
4100 * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
4101 * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
4102 * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
4103 * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
4104 * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
4105 * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
4106 * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
4107 * For drivers that set %IEEE80211_HW_DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP, mac80211
4108 * would also call this function before transmitting a deauthentication
4109 * frame in case that no beacon was heard from the AP/P2P GO.
4110 * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
4111 * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
4112 * Additional information is passed in the &struct ieee80211_prep_tx_info
4113 * data. If duration there is greater than zero, mac80211 hints to the
4114 * driver the duration for which the operation is requested.
4115 * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
4116 * @mgd_complete_tx: Notify the driver that the response frame for a previously
4117 * transmitted frame announced with @mgd_prepare_tx was received, the data
4118 * is filled similarly to @mgd_prepare_tx though the duration is not used.
4120 * @mgd_protect_tdls_discover: Protect a TDLS discovery session. After sending
4121 * a TDLS discovery-request, we expect a reply to arrive on the AP's
4122 * channel. We must stay on the channel (no PSM, scan, etc.), since a TDLS
4123 * setup-response is a direct packet not buffered by the AP.
4124 * mac80211 will call this function just before the transmission of a TDLS
4125 * discovery-request. The recommended period of protection is at least
4126 * 2 * (DTIM period).
4127 * The callback is optional and can sleep.
4129 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
4130 * This callback may sleep.
4131 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
4132 * This callback may sleep.
4133 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
4134 * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
4135 * channel context with different settings
4136 * This callback may sleep.
4137 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
4138 * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
4139 * This callback may sleep.
4140 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
4142 * This callback may sleep.
4143 * @switch_vif_chanctx: switch a number of vifs from one chanctx to
4144 * another, as specified in the list of
4145 * @ieee80211_vif_chanctx_switch passed to the driver, according
4146 * to the mode defined in &ieee80211_chanctx_switch_mode.
4147 * This callback may sleep.
4149 * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
4150 * information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
4151 * context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
4152 * software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
4153 * just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
4154 * disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
4155 * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
4157 * @reconfig_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw() and
4158 * during resume, when the reconfiguration has completed.
4159 * This can help the driver implement the reconfiguration step (and
4160 * indicate mac80211 is ready to receive frames).
4161 * This callback may sleep.
4163 * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
4164 * Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
4165 * This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
4167 * @channel_switch_beacon: Starts a channel switch to a new channel.
4168 * Beacons are modified to include CSA or ECSA IEs before calling this
4169 * function. The corresponding count fields in these IEs must be
4170 * decremented, and when they reach 1 the driver must call
4171 * ieee80211_csa_finish(). Drivers which use ieee80211_beacon_get()
4172 * get the csa counter decremented by mac80211, but must check if it is
4173 * 1 using ieee80211_beacon_counter_is_complete() after the beacon has been
4174 * transmitted and then call ieee80211_csa_finish().
4175 * If the CSA count starts as zero or 1, this function will not be called,
4176 * since there won't be any time to beacon before the switch anyway.
4177 * @pre_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
4178 * before a channel switch procedure is started (ie. when a STA
4179 * gets a CSA or a userspace initiated channel-switch), allowing
4180 * the driver to prepare for the channel switch.
4181 * @post_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
4182 * after a channel switch procedure is completed, allowing the
4183 * driver to go back to a normal configuration.
4184 * @abort_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
4185 * when channel switch procedure was completed, allowing the
4186 * driver to go back to a normal configuration.
4187 * @channel_switch_rx_beacon: This is an optional callback that is called
4188 * when channel switch procedure is in progress and additional beacon with
4189 * CSA IE was received, allowing driver to track changes in count.
4190 * @join_ibss: Join an IBSS (on an IBSS interface); this is called after all
4191 * information in bss_conf is set up and the beacon can be retrieved. A
4192 * channel context is bound before this is called.
4193 * @leave_ibss: Leave the IBSS again.
4195 * @get_expected_throughput: extract the expected throughput towards the
4196 * specified station. The returned value is expressed in Kbps. It returns 0
4197 * if the RC algorithm does not have proper data to provide.
4199 * @get_txpower: get current maximum tx power (in dBm) based on configuration
4200 * and hardware limits.
4202 * @tdls_channel_switch: Start channel-switching with a TDLS peer. The driver
4203 * is responsible for continually initiating channel-switching operations
4204 * and returning to the base channel for communication with the AP. The
4205 * driver receives a channel-switch request template and the location of
4206 * the switch-timing IE within the template as part of the invocation.
4207 * The template is valid only within the call, and the driver can
4208 * optionally copy the skb for further re-use.
4209 * @tdls_cancel_channel_switch: Stop channel-switching with a TDLS peer. Both
4210 * peers must be on the base channel when the call completes.
4211 * @tdls_recv_channel_switch: a TDLS channel-switch related frame (request or
4212 * response) has been received from a remote peer. The driver gets
4213 * parameters parsed from the incoming frame and may use them to continue
4214 * an ongoing channel-switch operation. In addition, a channel-switch
4215 * response template is provided, together with the location of the
4216 * switch-timing IE within the template. The skb can only be used within
4217 * the function call.
4219 * @wake_tx_queue: Called when new packets have been added to the queue.
4220 * @sync_rx_queues: Process all pending frames in RSS queues. This is a
4221 * synchronization which is needed in case driver has in its RSS queues
4222 * pending frames that were received prior to the control path action
4223 * currently taken (e.g. disassociation) but are not processed yet.
4225 * @start_nan: join an existing NAN cluster, or create a new one.
4226 * @stop_nan: leave the NAN cluster.
4227 * @nan_change_conf: change NAN configuration. The data in cfg80211_nan_conf
4228 * contains full new configuration and changes specify which parameters
4229 * are changed with respect to the last NAN config.
4230 * The driver gets both full configuration and the changed parameters since
4231 * some devices may need the full configuration while others need only the
4232 * changed parameters.
4233 * @add_nan_func: Add a NAN function. Returns 0 on success. The data in
4234 * cfg80211_nan_func must not be referenced outside the scope of
4236 * @del_nan_func: Remove a NAN function. The driver must call
4237 * ieee80211_nan_func_terminated() with
4238 * NL80211_NAN_FUNC_TERM_REASON_USER_REQUEST reason code upon removal.
4239 * @can_aggregate_in_amsdu: Called in order to determine if HW supports
4240 * aggregating two specific frames in the same A-MSDU. The relation
4241 * between the skbs should be symmetric and transitive. Note that while
4242 * skb is always a real frame, head may or may not be an A-MSDU.
4243 * @get_ftm_responder_stats: Retrieve FTM responder statistics, if available.
4244 * Statistics should be cumulative, currently no way to reset is provided.
4246 * @start_pmsr: start peer measurement (e.g. FTM) (this call can sleep)
4247 * @abort_pmsr: abort peer measurement (this call can sleep)
4248 * @set_tid_config: Apply TID specific configurations. This callback may sleep.
4249 * @reset_tid_config: Reset TID specific configuration for the peer.
4250 * This callback may sleep.
4251 * @update_vif_offload: Update virtual interface offload flags
4252 * This callback may sleep.
4253 * @sta_set_4addr: Called to notify the driver when a station starts/stops using
4255 * @set_sar_specs: Update the SAR (TX power) settings.
4256 * @sta_set_decap_offload: Called to notify the driver when a station is allowed
4257 * to use rx decapsulation offload
4258 * @add_twt_setup: Update hw with TWT agreement parameters received from the peer.
4259 * This callback allows the hw to check if requested parameters
4260 * are supported and if there is enough room for a new agreement.
4261 * The hw is expected to set agreement result in the req_type field of
4263 * @twt_teardown_request: Update the hw with TWT teardown request received
4265 * @set_radar_background: Configure dedicated offchannel chain available for
4266 * radar/CAC detection on some hw. This chain can't be used to transmit
4267 * or receive frames and it is bounded to a running wdev.
4268 * Background radar/CAC detection allows to avoid the CAC downtime
4269 * switching to a different channel during CAC detection on the selected
4271 * The caller is expected to set chandef pointer to NULL in order to
4272 * disable background CAC/radar detection.
4273 * @net_fill_forward_path: Called from .ndo_fill_forward_path in order to
4274 * resolve a path for hardware flow offloading
4275 * @can_activate_links: Checks if a specific active_links bitmap is
4276 * supported by the driver.
4277 * @change_vif_links: Change the valid links on an interface, note that while
4278 * removing the old link information is still valid (link_conf pointer),
4279 * but may immediately disappear after the function returns. The old or
4280 * new links bitmaps may be 0 if going from/to a non-MLO situation.
4281 * The @old array contains pointers to the old bss_conf structures
4282 * that were already removed, in case they're needed.
4283 * This callback can sleep.
4284 * @change_sta_links: Change the valid links of a station, similar to
4285 * @change_vif_links. This callback can sleep.
4286 * Note that a sta can also be inserted or removed with valid links,
4287 * i.e. passed to @sta_add/@sta_state with sta->valid_links not zero.
4288 * In fact, cannot change from having valid_links and not having them.
4289 * @set_hw_timestamp: Enable/disable HW timestamping of TM/FTM frames. This is
4290 * not restored at HW reset by mac80211 so drivers need to take care of
4292 * @net_setup_tc: Called from .ndo_setup_tc in order to prepare hardware
4293 * flow offloading for flows originating from the vif.
4294 * Note that the driver must not assume that the vif driver_data is valid
4295 * at this point, since the callback can be called during netdev teardown.
