/**
 * 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.

 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SHORT_PREAMBLE: TBD

 *      through set_retry_limit configured long retry value
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFDM_HT: this frame can be sent in HT OFDM rates. number
 *      of streams when this flag is on can be extracted from antenna_sel_tx,
 *      so if 1 antenna is marked use SISO, 2 antennas marked use MIMO, n
 *      antennas marked use MIMO_n.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_GREEN_FIELD: use green field protection for this frame
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_40_MHZ_WIDTH: send this frame using 40 Mhz channel width
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DUP_DATA: duplicate data frame on both 20 Mhz channels
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SHORT_GI: send this frame using short guard interval
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: TBD
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
 *      because the destination STA was in powersave mode.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
 *      is for the whole aggregation.
 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
 *      so consider using block ack request (BAR).
 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
 *      number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
 *      number and increasing the sequence number only when the

 *      for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
 *      that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
 *      If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
 *      assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
 *      802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
 *      beacons always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.

 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
 *
 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
 * 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 rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.

/**
 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
 *
 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
 *
 * @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.
 *
 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
 *      to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
 *      size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
 *      (count). The 'stats' pointer points to an array that has hw->queues +
 *      hw->ampdu_queues items.
 *
 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
 *      this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
 *      required function. Must be atomic.
 *
 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
 *      with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
 *      function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
 *      TSF synchronization.
 *
 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
 *      This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
 *      used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
 *
 * @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
 *
 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
 *      The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
 *      the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
 *      ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
 *      is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. notice
 *      that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
