14 /*
15  * Initial driver API (1996 -> onward) :
16  * -----------------------------------
17  * The initial API just sends the IOCTL request received from user space
18  * to the driver (via the driver ioctl handler). The driver has to
19  * handle all the rest...
20  *
21  * The initial API also defines a specific handler in struct net_device
22  * to handle wireless statistics.
23  *
24  * The initial APIs served us well and has proven a reasonably good design.
25  * However, there is a few shortcommings :
26  *	o No events, everything is a request to the driver.
27  *	o Large ioctl function in driver with gigantic switch statement
28  *	  (i.e. spaghetti code).
29  *	o Driver has to mess up with copy_to/from_user, and in many cases
30  *	  does it unproperly. Common mistakes are :
31  *		* buffer overflows (no checks or off by one checks)
32  *		* call copy_to/from_user with irq disabled
33  *	o The user space interface is tied to ioctl because of the use
34  *	  copy_to/from_user.
35  *
36  * New driver API (2002 -> onward) :
37  * -------------------------------
38  * The new driver API is just a bunch of standard functions (handlers),
39  * each handling a specific Wireless Extension. The driver just export
40  * the list of handler it supports, and those will be called apropriately.
41  *
42  * I tried to keep the main advantage of the previous API (simplicity,
43  * efficiency and light weight), and also I provide a good dose of backward
44  * compatibility (most structures are the same, driver can use both API
45  * simultaneously, ...).
46  * Hopefully, I've also addressed the shortcomming of the initial API.
47  *
48  * The advantage of the new API are :
49  *	o Handling of Extensions in driver broken in small contained functions
50  *	o Tighter checks of ioctl before calling the driver
51  *	o Flexible commit strategy (at least, the start of it)
52  *	o Backward compatibility (can be mixed with old API)
53  *	o Driver doesn't have to worry about memory and user-space issues
54  * The last point is important for the following reasons :
55  *	o You are now able to call the new driver API from any API you
56  *		want (including from within other parts of the kernel).
57  *	o Common mistakes are avoided (buffer overflow, user space copy
58  *		with irq disabled and so on).
59  *
60  * The Drawback of the new API are :
61  *	o bloat (especially kernel)
62  *	o need to migrate existing drivers to new API
63  * My initial testing shows that the new API adds around 3kB to the kernel
64  * and save between 0 and 5kB from a typical driver.
65  * Also, as all structures and data types are unchanged, the migration is
66  * quite straightforward (but tedious).
67  *
68  * ---
69  *
70  * The new driver API is defined below in this file. User space should
71  * not be aware of what's happening down there...
72  *
73  * A new kernel wrapper is in charge of validating the IOCTLs and calling
74  * the appropriate driver handler. This is implemented in :
75  *	# net/core/wireless.c
76  *
77  * The driver export the list of handlers in :
78  *	# include/linux/netdevice.h (one place)
79  *
80  * The new driver API is available for WIRELESS_EXT >= 13.
81  * Good luck with migration to the new API ;-)

83 
84 /* ---------------------- THE IMPLEMENTATION ---------------------- */
85 /*
86  * Some of the choice I've made are pretty controversials. Defining an
87  * API is very much weighting compromises. This goes into some of the
88  * details and the thinking behind the implementation.
89  *
90  * Implementation goals :
91  * --------------------
92  * The implementation goals were as follow :
93  *	o Obvious : you should not need a PhD to understand what's happening,
94  *		the benefit is easier maintainance.
95  *	o Flexible : it should accommodate a wide variety of driver
96  *		implementations and be as flexible as the old API.
97  *	o Lean : it should be efficient memory wise to minimise the impact
98  *		on kernel footprint.
99  *	o Transparent to user space : the large number of user space
100  *		applications that use Wireless Extensions should not need
101  *		any modifications.
102  *
103  * Array of functions versus Struct of functions
104  * ---------------------------------------------
105  * 1) Having an array of functions allow the kernel code to access the
106  * handler in a single lookup, which is much more efficient (think hash
107  * table here).
108  * 2) The only drawback is that driver writer may put their handler in
109  * the wrong slot. This is trivial to test (I set the frequency, the
110  * bitrate changes). Once the handler is in the proper slot, it will be
111  * there forever, because the array is only extended at the end.
112  * 3) Backward/forward compatibility : adding new handler just require
113  * extending the array, so you can put newer driver in older kernel
114  * without having to patch the kernel code (and vice versa).
115  *
116  * All handler are of the same generic type
117  * ----------------------------------------
118  * That's a feature !!!
119  * 1) Having a generic handler allow to have generic code, which is more
120  * efficient. If each of the handler was individually typed I would need
121  * to add a big switch in the kernel (== more bloat). This solution is
122  * more scalable, adding new Wireless Extensions doesn't add new code.
123  * 2) You can use the same handler in different slots of the array. For
124  * hardware, it may be more efficient or logical to handle multiple
125  * Wireless Extensions with a single function, and the API allow you to
126  * do that. (An example would be a single record on the card to control
127  * both bitrate and frequency, the handler would read the old record,
128  * modify it according to info->cmd and rewrite it).
129  *
130  * Functions prototype uses union iwreq_data
131  * -----------------------------------------
132  * Some would have prefered functions defined this way :
133  *	static int mydriver_ioctl_setrate(struct net_device *dev,
134  *					  long rate, int auto)
135  * 1) The kernel code doesn't "validate" the content of iwreq_data, and
136  * can't do it (different hardware may have different notion of what a
137  * valid frequency is), so we don't pretend that we do it.
138  * 2) The above form is not extendable. If I want to add a flag (for
139  * example to distinguish setting max rate and basic rate), I would
140  * break the prototype. Using iwreq_data is more flexible.
141  * 3) Also, the above form is not generic (see above).
142  * 4) I don't expect driver developper using the wrong field of the
143  * union (Doh !), so static typechecking doesn't add much value.
144  * 5) Lastly, you can skip the union by doing :
145  *	static int mydriver_ioctl_setrate(struct net_device *dev,
146  *					  struct iw_request_info *info,
147  *					  struct iw_param *rrq,
148  *					  char *extra)
149  * And then adding the handler in the array like this :
150  *        (iw_handler) mydriver_ioctl_setrate,             // SIOCSIWRATE
151  *
152  * Using functions and not a registry
153  * ----------------------------------
154  * Another implementation option would have been for every instance to
155  * define a registry (a struct containing all the Wireless Extensions)
156  * and only have a function to commit the registry to the hardware.
157  * 1) This approach can be emulated by the current code, but not
158  * vice versa.
159  * 2) Some drivers don't keep any configuration in the driver, for them
160  * adding such a registry would be a significant bloat.
161  * 3) The code to translate from Wireless Extension to native format is
162  * needed anyway, so it would not reduce significantely the amount of code.
163  * 4) The current approach only selectively translate Wireless Extensions
164  * to native format and only selectively set, whereas the registry approach
165  * would require to translate all WE and set all parameters for any single
166  * change.
167  * 5) For many Wireless Extensions, the GET operation return the current
168  * dynamic value, not the value that was set.
169  *
170  * This header is <net/iw_handler.h>
171  * ---------------------------------
172  * 1) This header is kernel space only and should not be exported to
173  * user space. Headers in "include/linux/" are exported, headers in
174  * "include/net/" are not.
175  *
176  * Mixed 32/64 bit issues
177  * ----------------------
178  * The Wireless Extensions are designed to be 64 bit clean, by using only
179  * datatypes with explicit storage size.
180  * There are some issues related to kernel and user space using different
181  * memory model, and in particular 64bit kernel with 32bit user space.
182  * The problem is related to struct iw_point, that contains a pointer
183  * that *may* need to be translated.
184  * This is quite messy. The new API doesn't solve this problem (it can't),
185  * but is a step in the right direction :
186  * 1) Meta data about each ioctl is easily available, so we know what type
187  * of translation is needed.
188  * 2) The move of data between kernel and user space is only done in a single
189  * place in the kernel, so adding specific hooks in there is possible.
190  * 3) In the long term, it allows to move away from using ioctl as the
191  * user space API.
192  *
193  * So many comments and so few code
194  * --------------------------------
195  * That's a feature. Comments won't bloat the resulting kernel binary.
