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. */ /** * DOC: mac80211 workqueue * * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use. * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback. * * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during * suspend. * * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock. * */ /** * enum ieee80211_max_queues - maximum number of queues * * @IEEE80211_MAX_QUEUES: Maximum number of regular device queues. */ enum ieee80211_max_queues { IEEE80211_MAX_QUEUES = 4, }; /** * struct ieee80211_tx_queue_params - transmit queue configuration * * The information provided in this structure is required for QoS * transmit queue configuration.

In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status. * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary, * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when * it finds traffic directed to it. * * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking * up the hardware before issueing commands to the hardware and putting it * back to sleep at approriate times. * * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame. * * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that. * * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle * periods. * * Dynamic powersave is supported by simply mac80211 enabling and disabling * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally, * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave. * * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled. * * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK. */ /** * DOC: Beacon filter support * * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed. * * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss(). * * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future. * * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense * that we want to see changes in them. This will include * - a list of information element IDs * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element * * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all * vendor information elements. * * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon. * * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136, * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility * it could also include some currently unused IDs. * * * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement * them as the roaming algorithm requires. * * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the * signal strength threshold checking. */ /** * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save * * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve * power in an 802.11n implementation.

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. * * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast() * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces. * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the * arguments @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 rule applies to all other FIF flags as well. */ /** * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags * * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the * stack.
