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

33 /**
34  * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
35  *
36  * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
37  * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
38  * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
39  * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
40  * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
41  * tasklet function.
42  *
43  * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
44  *	 use the non-IRQ-safe functions!

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

76  * DOC: mac80211 workqueue

78  * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
79  * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
80  * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
81  * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
82  *
83  * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
84  * suspend.
85  *
86  * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

211  *
212  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
213  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
214  *	number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
215  *	number and increasing the sequence number only when the
216  *	IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
217  *	assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
218  *	for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
219  *	that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
220  *	If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
221  *	assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
222  *	802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
223  *	beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
224  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
225  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
226  *	station
227  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
228  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
229  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
230  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
231  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
232  *	because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
233  *	avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
234  *	firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
235  *	went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
236  *	the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
237  *	that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
238  *	since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
239  *	hardware queue.
240  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
241  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
242  * 	is for the whole aggregation.
243  * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
244  * 	so consider using block ack request (BAR).
245  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
246  *	set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
247  *	be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
248  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
249  *	used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
250  *	it can be sent out.
251  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
252  *	used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
253  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
254  *	used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
255  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PSPOLL_RESPONSE: (internal?)
256  *	This frame is a response to a PS-poll frame and should be sent
257  *	although the station is in powersave mode.
258  * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
259  *	transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
260  *	by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
261  *	queue gets full.
262  * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
263  *	after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not

1110  *
1111  * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1112  * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1113  * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1114  * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1115  * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1116  * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1117  * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1118  *
1119  * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1120  * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1121  * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1122  *
1123  * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1124  * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1125  * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1126  * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1127  *
1128  * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1129  *
1130  * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1131  * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1132  * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1133  * based on the receive flags.
1134  *
1135  * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1136  * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1137  * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1138  * keys.
1139  *
1140  * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1141  * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1142  * handler.
1143  * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1144  * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1145  * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1146  * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1147  * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1148  * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

1151 /**
1152  * DOC: Powersave support
1153  *
1154  * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1155  *
1156  * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1157  * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1158  * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1159  * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1160  * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1161  * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1162  * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1163  * it finds traffic directed to it.
1164  *
1165  * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1166  * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1167  * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1168  * up the hardware before issueing commands to the hardware and putting it
1169  * back to sleep at approriate times.
1170  *
1171  * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1172  * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1173  * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1174  *
1175  * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1176  * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1177  * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1178  * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1179  * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1180  * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1181  * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1182  *
1183  * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1184  * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1185  * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1186  * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1187  * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1188  * periods.
1189  *
1190  * Dynamic powersave is supported by simply mac80211 enabling and disabling
1191  * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1192  * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1193  * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1194  * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1195  * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1196  * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1197  * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1198  * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1199  * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1200  *
1201  * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1202  * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1203  * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1204  * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1205  * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1206  * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1207  *
1208  * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1209  * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
1210  */
1211 
1212 /**
1213  * DOC: Beacon filter support
1214  *
1215  * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1216  * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1217  * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1218  * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1219  * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1220  * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1221  * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1222  *
1223  * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1224  * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1225  * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1226  * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1227  * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1228  *
1229  * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1230  * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1231  * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1232  * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1233  *
1234  * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1235  * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1236  * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1237  * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1238  *  - a list of information element IDs
1239  *  - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1240  *
1241  * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1242  * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1243  * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1244  * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1245  * vendor information elements.
1246  *
1247  * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1248  * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1249  *
1250  * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1251  * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1252  * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1253  * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1254  * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1255  * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1256  *
1257  *
1258  * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1259  * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1260  * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1261  * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1262  * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1263  * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1264  * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1265  * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1266  *
1267  * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1268  * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1269  * signal strength threshold checking.

1278  * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1279  *
1280  * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1281  * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1282  * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1283  * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1284  * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1285  * hardware flags.
1286  *
1287  * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1288  * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1289  * turned off otherwise.
1290  *
1291  * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1292  * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1293  * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1294  * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.

1298  * DOC: Frame filtering
1299  *
1300  * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1301  * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1302  * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1303  * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1304  * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1305  *
1306  * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1307  * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1308  * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1309  *
1310  * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1311  * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1312  * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1313  * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1314  * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1315  * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1316  * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1317  *
1318  * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1319  * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1320  * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1321  * or dropped.
1322  *
1323  * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1324  * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1325  * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1326  * the flag, but not clear it.
1327  * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1328  * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1329  * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1330  * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1331  * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1332  * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1333  * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1334  * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1412  * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
1413  * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
1414  * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1415  *
1416  * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1417  *	skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1418  *	The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1419  *	configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1420  *	preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1421  *	importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
1422  *	This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
1423  *	limited cases.
1424  *	Must be implemented and atomic.
1425  *
1426  * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1427  *	is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1428  *	frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1429  *	Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1430  *	or zero.
1431  *	When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1432  *	to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1433  *	is added.
1434  *	Must be implemented and can sleep.
1435  *
1436  * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1437  *	is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1438  *	it must turn off frame reception.)
1439  *	May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1440  *	an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1441  *	you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
1442  *	Must be implemented and can sleep.
1443  *
1444  * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1445  *	enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
1446  *	and @stop must be implemented.
1447  *	The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1448  *	the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1449  *	interface is given in the conf parameter.
1450  *	The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1451  *	negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1452  *	Must be implemented and can sleep.
1453  *
1454  * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1455  *	The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1456  *	and no monitor interfaces are present.
1457  *	When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1458  *	must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1459  *	the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1460  *	MAC address of the device going away.
1461  *	Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
1462  *
1463  * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1464  *	function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1465  *	This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
1466  *	if it does. The callback can sleep.
1467  *
1468  * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1469  *	parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1470  *	level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1471  *	This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1472  *	for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1473  *	of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1474  *	can sleep.
1475  *
1476  * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
1477  *	This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
1478  *	to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
1479  *
1480  * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1481  *	See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1482  *	This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
1483  *
1484  * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1485  * 	must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
1486  *
1487  * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1488  *	This callback is only called between add_interface and
1489  *	remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
1490  *	is enabled.
1491  *	Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
1492  *	The callback can sleep.
1493  *
1494  * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1495  * 	This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1496  * 	which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1497  *	The callback must be atomic.
1498  *
1499  * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1500  *	the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1501  *	configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1502  *	registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
1503  *	that power save is disabled.
1504  *	The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1505  *	entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1506  *	at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1507  *	(extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1508  *	When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1509  *	note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1510  *	any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
1511  *	The callback can sleep.
1512  *
1513  * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1514  *	is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1515  *	The callback can sleep.
1516  *
1517  * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
1518  *	software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
1519  *	this notification.
1520  *	The callback can sleep.
1521  *
1522  * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
1523  * 	Returns zero if statistics are available.
1524  *	The callback can sleep.
1525  *
1526  * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1527  *	callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1528  *	and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1529  *	The callback must be atomic.
1530  *
1531  * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1532  *	The callback can sleep.
1533  *
1534  * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
1535  *	AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1536  *
1537  * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
1538  *	station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1539  *
1540  * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
1541  *	associated station, AP,  IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Must be atomic.
1542  *
1543  * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1544  *	bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
1545  *	Returns a negative error code on failure.
1546  *	The callback can sleep.
1547  *
1548  * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1549  *	this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
1550  *	required function.
1551  *	The callback can sleep.
1552  *
1553  * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
1554  *      Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
1555  *	required function.
1556  *	The callback can sleep.
1557  *
1558  * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1559  *	with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1560  *	function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1561  *	TSF synchronization.
1562  *	The callback can sleep.
1563  *
1564  * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1565  *	This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1566  *	used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1567  *	Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
1568  *	The callback can sleep.
1569  *
1570  * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1571  * 	The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1572  * 	the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1573  * 	ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1574  * 	is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
1575  * 	that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
1576  *	Returns a negative error code on failure.
1577  *	The callback must be atomic.
1578  *
1579  * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
1580  *	need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
1581  *	and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
1582  *	The callback can sleep.
1583  *
1584  * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
1585  *	in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
1586  *	accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.

1589  *	The callback can sleep.
1590  *
1591  * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
