26  * DOC: Introduction
27  *
28  * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
29  * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
30  * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
31  * drivers.

34 /**
35  * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
36  *
37  * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
38  * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
39  * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
40  * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
41  * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue function.

51 /**
52  * DOC: Frame format
53  *
54  * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
55  * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
56  * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
57  * hardware.
58  *
59  * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
60  *
61  * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
62  * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
63  *
64  * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
65  * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
66  *
67  * Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
68  * filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
69  * not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.

887  *
888  * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
889  *	is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
890  *	frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
891  *	Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,

911  *	The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
912  *	negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
913  *	Must be implemented.

924  * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
925  *	function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
926  *
927  * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
928  *	(e.g. BSSID changes.)
929  *
930  * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
931  *	See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
932  *	This callback must be implemented and atomic.
933  *
934  * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
935  *	generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
936  *	mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
937  *	for a given AID. Must be atomic.
938  *
939  * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
940  *	This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
941  *	and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
942  *	given local_address is enabled.
943  *
944  * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
945  *	the scan state machine in stack.
946  *
947  * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
948  *
949  * @get_sequence_counter: For devices that have internal sequence counters this
950  *	callback allows mac80211 to access the current value of a counter.
951  *	This callback seems not well-defined, tell us if you need it.
952  *
953  * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
954  *
955  * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
956  *	the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
957  *	the stack will not do fragmentation.
958  *
959  * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
960  *
961  * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
962  *	of assocaited station or AP.
963  *
964  * @erp_ie_changed: Handle ERP IE change notifications. Must be atomic.
965  *
966  * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
967  *	bursting) for a hardware TX queue. The @queue parameter uses the
968  *	%IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_* constants. Must be atomic.
969  *
970  * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
971  *	to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
972  *	size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
973  *	(count). This information is used for WMM to find out which TX
974  *	queues have room for more packets and by hostapd to provide
975  *	statistics about the current queueing state to external programs.
976  *
977  * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
978  *	this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
979  *	required function. Must be atomic.
980  *
981  * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
982  *	with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
983  *	function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
984  *	TSF synchronization.
985  *
986  * @beacon_update: Setup beacon data for IBSS beacons. Unlike access point,
987  *	IBSS uses a fixed beacon frame which is configured using this
988  *	function.
989  *	If the driver returns success (0) from this callback, it owns
990  *	the skb. That means the driver is responsible to kfree_skb() it.
991  *	The control structure is not dynamically allocated. That means the
992  *	driver does not own the pointer and if it needs it somewhere
993  *	outside of the context of this function, it must copy it
994  *	somewhere else.
995  *	This handler is required only for IBSS mode.
996  *
997  * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
998  *	This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
999  *	used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
