+ * DOC: Introduction
+ *
+ * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
+ * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
+ * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
+ * drivers.
+ */
+
+/**
+ * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
+ *
+ * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
+ * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
+ * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
+ * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
+ * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
+ * tasklet function.
+ *
+ * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
+ * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
+ */
+
+/**
+ * DOC: Warning
+ *
+ * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
+ * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.

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

+ * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
+ *
+ * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
+ * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
+ * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
+ * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
+ * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
+ * be used only for transmission.
+ * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
+ * VLANs are configured for an access point.
+ *
+ * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
+ * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
+ *
+ * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
+ * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
+ * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
+ *
+ * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
+ * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
+ * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
+ * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
+ *
+ * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
+ *
+ * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
+ * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
+ * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
+ * based on the receive flags.
+ *
+ * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
+ * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
+ * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
+ * keys.
+ *
+ * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
+ * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
+ * handler.
+ * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
+ * This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
+ * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
+ * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
+ * provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
+ * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

+/**
+ * DOC: Frame filtering
+ *
+ * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
+ * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
+ * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
+ * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
+ * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
+ *
+ * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
+ * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
+ * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
+ *
+ * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
+ * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
+ * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
+ * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
+ *
+ * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
+ * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
+ * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
+ * or dropped.
+ *
+ * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
+ * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
+ * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
+ * the flag, but not clear it.
+ * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
+ * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
+ * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
+ * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
+ * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
+ * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
+ * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.

+ * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may

+ *
+ * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
+ * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
+ * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
+ * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
+ * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
+ * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
+ * Must be implemented and atomic.
+ *
+ * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
+ * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
+ * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
+ * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
+ * or zero.
+ * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
+ * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
+ * is added.
+ * Must be implemented.
+ *
+ * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
+ * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
+ * it must turn off frame reception.)
+ * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
+ * an interface.
+ * Must be implemented.
+ *
+ * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
+ * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
+ * and @stop must be implemented.
+ * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
+ * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
+ * interface is given in the conf parameter.
+ * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
+ * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
+ * Must be implemented.
+ *
+ * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
+ * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
+ * and no monitor interfaces are present.
+ * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
+ * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
+ * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
+ * MAC address of the device going away.
+ * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
+ *
+ * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
+ * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
+ *
+ * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
+ * (e.g. BSSID changes.)
+ *
+ * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
+ * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
+ * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
+ * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
+ * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
+ * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
+ *
+ * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
+ * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
+ * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
+ *
+ * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
+ * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
+ * This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
+ * and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
+ * given local_address is enabled.
+ *
+ * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
+ * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
+ * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
+ *
+ * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
+ * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
+ * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's registered
+ * bands. When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be
+ * called; note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish
+ * because the hardware is turned off! Anything else is a bug!
+ *
+ * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
+ *
+ * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
+ * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
+ * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
+ *
+ * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
+ *
+ * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
+ * the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
+ * the stack will not do fragmentation.
+ *
+ * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
+ *
+ * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
+ * of assocaited station or AP.
+ *
+ * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
+ * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
