+ *
+ *
+ * The WiMAX stack provides an API for controlling and managing the
+ * system's WiMAX devices. This API affects the control plane; the
+ * data plane is accessed via the network stack (netdev).
+ *
+ * Parts of the WiMAX stack API and notifications are exported to
+ * user space via Generic Netlink. In user space, libwimax (part of
+ * the wimax-tools package) provides a shim layer for accessing those
+ * calls.
+ *
+ * The API is standarized for all WiMAX devices and different drivers
+ * implement the backend support for it. However, device-specific
+ * messaging pipes are provided that can be used to issue commands and
+ * receive notifications in free form.
+ *
+ * Currently the messaging pipes are the only means of control as it
+ * is not known (due to the lack of more devices in the market) what
+ * will be a good abstraction layer. Expect this to change as more
+ * devices show in the market. This API is designed to be growable in
+ * order to address this problem.
+ *
+ * USAGE
+ *
+ * Embed a `struct wimax_dev` at the beginning of the the device's
+ * private structure, initialize and register it. For details, see
+ * `struct wimax_dev`s documentation.
+ *
+ * Once this is done, wimax-tools's libwimaxll can be used to
+ * communicate with the driver from user space. You user space
+ * application does not have to forcibily use libwimaxll and can talk
+ * the generic netlink protocol directly if desired.
+ *
+ * Remember this is a very low level API that will to provide all of
+ * WiMAX features. Other daemons and services running in user space
+ * are the expected clients of it. They offer a higher level API that
+ * applications should use (an example of this is the Intel's WiMAX
+ * Network Service for the i2400m).
+ *
+ * DESIGN
+ *
+ * Although not set on final stone, this very basic interface is
+ * mostly completed. Remember this is meant to grow as new common
+ * operations are decided upon. New operations will be added to the
+ * interface, intent being on keeping backwards compatibility as much
+ * as possible.
+ *
+ * This layer implements a set of calls to control a WiMAX device,
+ * exposing a frontend to the rest of the kernel and user space (via
+ * generic netlink) and a backend implementation in the driver through
+ * function pointers.
+ *
+ * WiMAX devices have a state, and a kernel-only API allows the
+ * drivers to manipulate that state. State transitions are atomic, and
+ * only some of them are allowed (see `enum wimax_st`).
+ *
+ * Most API calls will set the state automatically; in most cases
+ * drivers have to only report state changes due to external
+ * conditions.
+ *
+ * All API operations are 'atomic', serialized thorough a mutex in the
+ * `struct wimax_dev`.
+ *
+ * EXPORTING TO USER SPACE THROUGH GENERIC NETLINK
+ *
+ * The API is exported to user space using generic netlink (other
+ * methods can be added as needed).
+ *
+ * There is a Generic Netlink Family named "WiMAX", where interfaces
+ * supporting the WiMAX interface receive commands and broadcast their
+ * signals over a multicast group named "msg".
+ *
+ * Mapping to the source/destination interface is done by an interface
+ * index attribute.
+ *
+ * For user-to-kernel traffic (commands) we use a function call
+ * marshalling mechanism, where a message X with attributes A, B, C
+ * sent from user space to kernel space means executing the WiMAX API
+ * call wimax_X(A, B, C), sending the results back as a message.
+ *
+ * Kernel-to-user (notifications or signals) communication is sent
+ * over multicast groups. This allows to have multiple applications
+ * monitoring them.
+ *
+ * Each command/signal gets assigned it's own attribute policy. This
+ * way the validator will verify that all the attributes in there are
+ * only the ones that should be for each command/signal. Thing of an
+ * attribute mapping to a type+argumentname for each command/signal.
+ *
+ * If we had a single policy for *all* commands/signals, after running
+ * the validator we'd have to check "does this attribute belong in
+ * here"?  for each one. It can be done manually, but it's just easier
+ * to have the validator do that job with multiple policies. As well,
+ * it makes it easier to later expand each command/signal signature
+ * without affecting others and keeping the namespace more or less
+ * sane. Not that it is too complicated, but it makes it even easier.
+ *
+ * No state information is maintained in the kernel for each user
+ * space connection (the connection is stateless).
+ *
+ * TESTING FOR THE INTERFACE AND VERSIONING
+ *
+ * If network interface X is a WiMAX device, there will be a Generic
+ * Netlink family named "WiMAX X" and the device will present a
+ * "wimax" directory in it's network sysfs directory
+ * (/sys/class/net/DEVICE/wimax) [used by HAL].
+ *
+ * The inexistence of any of these means the device does not support
+ * this WiMAX API.
+ *
+ * By querying the generic netlink controller, versioning information
+ * and the multicast groups available can be found. Applications using
+ * the interface can either rely on that or use the generic netlink
+ * controller to figure out which generic netlink commands/signals are
+ * supported.
+ *
+ * NOTE: this versioning is a last resort to avoid hard
+ *    incompatibilities. It is the intention of the design of this
+ *    stack not to introduce backward incompatible changes.
+ *
+ * The version code has to fit in one byte (restrictions imposed by
+ * generic netlink); we use `version / 10` for the major version and
+ * `version % 10` for the minor. This gives 9 minors for each major
+ * and 25 majors.
+ *
+ * The version change protocol is as follow:
+ *
+ * - Major versions: needs to be increased if an existing message/API
+ *   call is changed or removed. Doesn't need to be changed if a new
+ *   message is added.
+ *
+ * - Minor version: needs to be increased if new messages/API calls are
+ *   being added or some other consideration that doesn't impact the
+ *   user-kernel interface too much (like some kind of bug fix) and
+ *   that is kind of left up in the air to common sense.
+ *
+ * User space code should not try to work if the major version it was
+ * compiled for differs from what the kernel offers. As well, if the
+ * minor version of the kernel interface is lower than the one user
+ * space is expecting (the one it was compiled for), the kernel
+ * might be missing API calls; user space shall be ready to handle
+ * said condition. Use the generic netlink controller operations to
+ * find which ones are supported and which not.
+ *
+ * libwimaxll:wimaxll_open() takes care of checking versions.
+ *
+ * THE OPERATIONS:
+ *
+ * Each operation is defined in its on file (drivers/net/wimax/op-*.c)
+ * for clarity. The parts needed for an operation are:
+ *
+ *  - a function pointer in `struct wimax_dev`: optional, as the
+ *    operation might be implemented by the stack and not by the
+ *    driver.
+ *
+ *    All function pointers are named wimax_dev->op_*(), and drivers
+ *    must implement them except where noted otherwise.
+ *
+ *  - When exported to user space, a `struct nla_policy` to define the
+ *    attributes of the generic netlink command and a `struct genl_ops`
+ *    to define the operation.
+ *
+ * All the declarations for the operation codes (WIMAX_GNL_OP_<NAME>)
+ * and generic netlink attributes (WIMAX_GNL_<NAME>_*) are declared in
+ * include/linux/wimax.h; this file is intended to be cloned by user
+ * space to gain access to those declarations.
+ *
+ * A few caveats to remember:
+ *
+ *  - Need to define attribute numbers starting in 1; otherwise it
+ *    fails.
+ *
+ *  - the `struct genl_family` requires a maximum attribute id; when
+ *    defining the `struct nla_policy` for each message, it has to have
+ *    an array size of WIMAX_GNL_ATTR_MAX+1.
+ *
+ * THE PIPE INTERFACE:
+ *
+ * This interface is kept intentionally simple. The driver can send
+ * and receive free-form messages to/from user space through a
+ * pipe. See drivers/net/wimax/op-msg.c for details.
+ *
+ * The kernel-to-user messages are sent with
+ * wimax_msg(). user-to-kernel messages are delivered via
+ * wimax_dev->op_msg_from_user().
+ *
+ * RFKILL:
+ *
+ * RFKILL support is built into the wimax_dev layer; the driver just
+ * needs to call wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to inform of changes in
+ * the hardware or software RF kill switches. When the stack wants to
+ * turn the radio off, it will call wimax_dev->op_rfkill_sw_toggle(),
+ * which the driver implements.
+ *
+ * User space can set the software RF Kill switch by calling
+ * wimax_rfkill().
+ *
+ * The code for now only supports devices that don't require polling;
+ * If the device needs to be polled, create a self-rearming delayed
+ * work struct for polling or look into adding polled support to the
+ * WiMAX stack.
+ *
+ * When initializing the hardware (_probe), after calling
+ * wimax_dev_add(), query the device for it's RF Kill switches status
+ * and feed it back to the WiMAX stack using
+ * wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}(). If any switch is missing, always
+ * report it as ON.
+ *
+ * NOTE: the wimax stack uses an inverted terminology to that of the
+ * RFKILL subsystem:
+ *
+ *  - ON: radio is ON, RFKILL is DISABLED or OFF.
+ *  - OFF: radio is OFF, RFKILL is ENABLED or ON.
+ *
+ * MISCELLANEOUS OPS:
+ *
+ * wimax_reset() can be used to reset the device to power on state; by
+ * default it issues a warm reset that maintains the same device
+ * node. If that is not possible, it falls back to a cold reset
+ * (device reconnect). The driver implements the backend to this
+ * through wimax_dev->op_reset().

+/**
+ * struct wimax_dev - Generic WiMAX device
+ *
+ * @net_dev: [fill] Pointer to the &struct net_device this WiMAX
+ *     device implements.
+ *
+ * @op_msg_from_user: [fill] Driver-specific operation to
+ *     handle a raw message from user space to the driver. The
+ *     driver can send messages to user space using with
+ *     wimax_msg_to_user().
+ *
+ * @op_rfkill_sw_toggle: [fill] Driver-specific operation to act on
+ *     userspace (or any other agent) requesting the WiMAX device to
+ *     change the RF Kill software switch (WIMAX_RF_ON or
+ *     WIMAX_RF_OFF).
+ *     If such hardware support is not present, it is assumed the
+ *     radio cannot be switched off and it is always on (and the stack
+ *     will error out when trying to switch it off). In such case,
+ *     this function pointer can be left as NULL.
+ *
+ * @op_reset: [fill] Driver specific operation to reset the
+ *     device.
+ *     This operation should always attempt first a warm reset that
+ *     does not disconnect the device from the bus and return 0.
+ *     If that fails, it should resort to some sort of cold or bus
+ *     reset (even if it implies a bus disconnection and device
+ *     dissapearance). In that case, -ENODEV should be returned to
+ *     indicate the device is gone.
+ *     This operation has to be synchronous, and return only when the
+ *     reset is complete. In case of having had to resort to bus/cold
+ *     reset implying a device disconnection, the call is allowed to
+ *     return inmediately.
+ *     NOTE: wimax_dev->mutex is NOT locked when this op is being
+ *     called; however, wimax_dev->mutex_reset IS locked to ensure
+ *     serialization of calls to wimax_reset().
+ *     See wimax_reset()'s documentation.
+ *
+ * @name: [fill] A way to identify this device. We need to register a
+ *     name with many subsystems (input for RFKILL, workqueue
+ *     creation, etc). We can't use the network device name as that
+ *     might change and in some instances we don't know it yet (until
+ *     we don't call register_netdev()). So we generate an unique one
+ *     using the driver name and device bus id, place it here and use
+ *     it across the board. Recommended naming:
+ *     DRIVERNAME-BUSNAME:BUSID (dev->bus->name, dev->bus_id).
+ *
+ * @id_table_node: [private] link to the list of wimax devices kept by
+ *     id-table.c. Protected by it's own spinlock.
+ *
+ * @mutex: [private] Serializes all concurrent access and execution of
+ *     operations.
+ *
+ * @mutex_reset: [private] Serializes reset operations. Needs to be a
+ *     different mutex because as part of the reset operation, the
+ *     driver has to call back into the stack to do things such as
+ *     state change, that require wimax_dev->mutex.
+ *
+ * @state: [private] Current state of the WiMAX device.
+ *
+ * @rfkill: [private] integration into the RF-Kill infrastructure.
+ *
+ * @rfkill_input: [private] virtual input device to process the
+ *     hardware RF Kill switches.
+ *
+ * @rf_sw: [private] State of the software radio switch (OFF/ON)
+ *
+ * @rf_hw: [private] State of the hardware radio switch (OFF/ON)
+ *
+ * @debufs_dentry: [private] Used to hook up a debugfs entry. This
+ *     shows up in the debugfs root as wimax:DEVICENAME.
+ *
+ * Description:
+ * This structure defines a common interface to access all WiMAX
+ * devices from different vendors and provides a common API as well as
+ * a free-form device-specific messaging channel.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *  1. Embed a &struct wimax_dev at *the beginning* the network
+ *     device structure so that netdev_priv() points to it.
+ *
+ *  2. memset() it to zero
+ *
+ *  3. Initialize with wimax_dev_init(). This will leave the WiMAX
+ *     device in the %__WIMAX_ST_NULL state.
+ *
+ *  4. Fill all the fields marked with [fill]; once called
+ *     wimax_dev_add(), those fields CANNOT be modified.
+ *
+ *  5. Call wimax_dev_add() *after* registering the network
+ *     device. This will leave the WiMAX device in the %WIMAX_ST_DOWN
+ *     state.
+ *     Protect the driver's net_device->open() against succeeding if
+ *     the wimax device state is lower than %WIMAX_ST_DOWN.
+ *
+ *  6. Select when the device is going to be turned on/initialized;
+ *     for example, it could be initialized on 'ifconfig up' (when the
+ *     netdev op 'open()' is called on the driver).
+ *
+ * When the device is initialized (at `ifconfig up` time, or right
+ * after calling wimax_dev_add() from _probe(), make sure the
+ * following steps are taken
+ *
+ *  a. Move the device to %WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED. This is needed so
+ *     some API calls that shouldn't work until the device is ready
+ *     can be blocked.
+ *
+ *  b. Initialize the device. Make sure to turn the SW radio switch
+ *     off and move the device to state %WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF when
+ *     done. When just initialized, a device should be left in RADIO
+ *     OFF state until user space devices to turn it on.
+ *
+ *  c. Query the device for the state of the hardware rfkill switch
+ *     and call wimax_rfkill_report_hw() and wimax_rfkill_report_sw()
+ *     as needed. See below.
+ *
+ * wimax_dev_rm() undoes before unregistering the network device. Once
+ * wimax_dev_add() is called, the driver can get called on the
+ * wimax_dev->op_* function pointers
+ *
+ * CONCURRENCY:
+ *
+ * The stack provides a mutex for each device that will disallow API
+ * calls happening concurrently; thus, op calls into the driver
+ * through the wimax_dev->op*() function pointers will always be
+ * serialized and *never* concurrent.
+ *
+ * For locking, take wimax_dev->mutex is taken; (most) operations in
+ * the API have to check for wimax_dev_is_ready() to return 0 before
+ * continuing (this is done internally).
+ *
+ * REFERENCE COUNTING:
+ *
+ * The WiMAX device is reference counted by the associated network
+ * device. The only operation that can be used to reference the device
+ * is wimax_dev_get_by_genl_info(), and the reference it acquires has
+ * to be released with dev_put(wimax_dev->net_dev).
+ *
+ * RFKILL:
+ *
+ * At startup, both HW and SW radio switchess are assumed to be off.
+ *
+ * At initialization time [after calling wimax_dev_add()], have the
+ * driver query the device for the status of the software and hardware
+ * RF kill switches and call wimax_report_rfkill_hw() and
+ * wimax_rfkill_report_sw() to indicate their state. If any is
+ * missing, just call it to indicate it is ON (radio always on).
+ *
+ * Whenever the driver detects a change in the state of the RF kill
+ * switches, it should call wimax_report_rfkill_hw() or
+ * wimax_report_rfkill_sw() to report it to the stack.
