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
34 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
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
43 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
44 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
50 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
51 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
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
62 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
64 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
65 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
67 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
68 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
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.
83 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
86 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

1178 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
1180 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1181 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1183 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1184 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1185 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1186 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1187 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1188 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1189 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1191 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1192 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1193 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1195 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1196 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1197 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1198 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1200 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1202 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1203 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1204 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1205 * based on the receive flags.
1207 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1208 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1209 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1212 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1213 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1215 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1216 * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1217 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1218 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1219 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1220 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
1224 * DOC: Powersave support
1226 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1228 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1229 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1230 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1231 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1232 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1233 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1234 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1235 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1237 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1238 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1239 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1240 * up the hardware before issueing commands to the hardware and putting it
1241 * back to sleep at approriate times.
1243 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1244 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1245 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1247 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1248 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1249 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1250 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1251 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1252 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1253 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1255 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1256 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1257 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1258 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1259 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1262 * Dynamic powersave is supported by simply mac80211 enabling and disabling
1263 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1264 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1265 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1266 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1267 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1268 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1269 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1270 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1271 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1273 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1274 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1275 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1276 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1277 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1278 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1279 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1280 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1282 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1283 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1284 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1285 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1286 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1287 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1289 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1290 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
1294 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1296 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1297 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1298 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1299 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1300 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1301 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1302 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1304 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1305 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1306 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1307 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1308 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1310 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1311 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1312 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1313 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1315 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1316 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1317 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1318 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1319 * - a list of information element IDs
1320 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1322 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1323 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1324 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1325 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1326 * vendor information elements.
1328 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1329 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1331 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1332 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1333 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1334 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1335 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1336 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1339 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1340 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1341 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1342 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1343 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1344 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1345 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1346 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1348 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1349 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1350 * signal strength threshold checking.
1354 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1356 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1357 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1358 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1359 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1361 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1362 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1363 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1364 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1365 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1368 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1369 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1370 * turned off otherwise.
1372 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1373 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1374 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1375 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
1379 * DOC: Frame filtering
1381 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1382 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1383 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1384 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1385 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1387 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1388 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1389 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1391 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1392 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1393 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1394 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1395 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1396 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1397 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1399 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1400 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1401 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1404 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1405 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1406 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1407 * the flag, but not clear it.
1408 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1409 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1410 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1411 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1412 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1413 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1414 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1415 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
1419 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
1421 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
1422 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
1423 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
1424 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
1426 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
1427 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
1428 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
1430 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
1431 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
1432 * multicast address.
1434 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
1435 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
1437 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
1438 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
1440 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
1441 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
1442 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
1443 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
1444 * honour this flag if possible.
1446 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames (except for PS Poll), if PROMISC_IN_BSS
1447 * is not set then only those addressed to this station.
1449 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes
1451 * @FIF_PSPOLL: pass PS Poll frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then only
1452 * those addressed to this station.

1497 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1498 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1499 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1500 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1501 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1502 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
1503 * This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
1505 * Must be implemented and atomic.
1507 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1508 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1509 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1510 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1512 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1513 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1515 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1517 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1518 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1519 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1520 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1521 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1522 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
1523 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1525 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1526 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
1527 * and @stop must be implemented.
1528 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1529 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1530 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1531 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1532 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1533 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1535 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1536 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1537 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1538 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1539 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1540 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1541 * MAC address of the device going away.
1542 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
1544 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1545 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1546 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
1547 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
1549 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1550 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1551 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1552 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1553 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1554 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1557 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
1558 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
1559 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
1561 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1562 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1563 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
1565 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1566 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
1568 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1569 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
1570 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
1572 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
1573 * The callback can sleep.
1575 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1576 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1577 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1578 * The callback must be atomic.
1580 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1581 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1582 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1583 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
1584 * that power save is disabled.
1585 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1586 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1587 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1588 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1589 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1590 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1591 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
1592 * The callback can sleep.
1594 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1595 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1596 * The callback can sleep.
1598 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
1599 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
1600 * this notification.
1601 * The callback can sleep.
1603 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
1604 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
1605 * The callback can sleep.
1607 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1608 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1609 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1610 * The callback must be atomic.
1612 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1613 * The callback can sleep.
1615 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
1616 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1618 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
