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.
32 */

34/**
35 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
36 *
37 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
f0706e82
JB
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
2485f710
JB
41 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
42 * tasklet function.
43 *
44 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
45 * use the non-irqsafe functions!

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

856 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
857 *
858 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
859 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
860 *
861 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
862 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
863 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
864 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
865 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
866 * be used only for transmission.
867 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
868 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
4150c572 869 *
75a5f0cc
JB
870 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
871 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
872 *
873 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
874 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
875 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
876 *
877 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
878 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
879 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
880 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
881 *
882 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
883 *
884 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
885 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
886 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
887 * based on the receive flags.
888 *
889 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
890 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
891 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
892 * keys.
9ae4fda3
EG
893 *
894 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
895 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
896 * handler.
897 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
898 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
899 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
900 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
901 * provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
902 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

906 * DOC: Frame filtering
907 *
908 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
909 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
910 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
911 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
912 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
913 *
914 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
915 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
916 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
917 *
918 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
919 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
920 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
921 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
922 *
923 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
924 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
925 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
926 * or dropped.
927 *
d0f5afbe
MB
928 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
929 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
930 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
931 * the flag, but not clear it.
932 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
933 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
934 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
935 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
936 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
937 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
938 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
939 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

1016 *
1017 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1018 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1019 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1020 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1021 * or zero.
1022 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1023 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1024 * is added.
1025 * Must be implemented.
1026 *
1027 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1028 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1029 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1030 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1031 * an interface.
1032 * Must be implemented.
1033 *
1034 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1035 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
1036 * and @stop must be implemented.
1037 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1038 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1039 * interface is given in the conf parameter.

1041 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
