+ * 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: 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.
+ */
+
+/**
+ * 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.

+
+/**
+ * DOC: mac80211 software tx queueing
+ *
+ * mac80211 provides an optional intermediate queueing implementation designed
+ * to allow the driver to keep hardware queues short and provide some fairness
+ * between different stations/interfaces.
+ * In this model, the driver pulls data frames from the mac80211 queue instead
+ * of letting mac80211 push them via drv_tx().
+ * Other frames (e.g. control or management) are still pushed using drv_tx().
+ *
+ * Drivers indicate that they use this model by implementing the .wake_tx_queue
+ * driver operation.
+ *
+ * Intermediate queues (struct ieee80211_txq) are kept per-sta per-tid, with a
+ * single per-vif queue for multicast data frames.
+ *
+ * The driver is expected to initialize its private per-queue data for stations
+ * and interfaces in the .add_interface and .sta_add ops.
+ *
+ * The driver can't access the queue directly. To dequeue a frame, it calls
+ * ieee80211_tx_dequeue(). Whenever mac80211 adds a new frame to a queue, it
+ * calls the .wake_tx_queue driver op.
+ *
+ * For AP powersave TIM handling, the driver only needs to indicate if it has
+ * buffered packets in the driver specific data structures by calling
+ * ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(). For frames buffered in the ieee80211_txq
+ * struct, mac80211 sets the appropriate TIM PVB bits and calls
+ * .release_buffered_frames().
+ * In that callback the driver is therefore expected to release its own
+ * buffered frames and afterwards also frames from the ieee80211_txq (obtained
+ * via the usual ieee80211_tx_dequeue).

+/**
+ * enum mac80211_tx_info_flags - flags to describe transmission information/status
+ *
+ * These flags are used with the @flags member of &ieee80211_tx_info.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
+ * @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
+ * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
+ * assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
+ * 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 and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
+ * station
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
+ * @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_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
+ * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
+ * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
+ * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
+ * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
+ * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
+ * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
+ * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
+ * hardware queue.
+ * @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_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
+ * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
+ * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK: Internal to mac80211. Used to indicate
+ * that a frame can be transmitted while the queues are stopped for
+ * off-channel operation.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
+ * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
+ * it can be sent out.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
+ * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
+ * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
+ * frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
+ * be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
+ * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
+ * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
+ * queue gets full.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
+ * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
+ * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_MLME_CONN_TX: This frame was transmitted by the MLME
+ * code for connection establishment, this indicates that its status
+ * should kick the MLME state machine.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
+ * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
+ * status to user space)
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
+ * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
+ * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
+ * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
+ * handled properly by the device.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
+ * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
+ * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
+ * This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
+ * frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
+ * when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
+ * an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
+ * the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
+ * PS-Poll responses.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
+ * This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
+ * the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
+ * would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
+ * monitor injection).
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_NOACK_TRANSMITTED: A frame that was marked with
+ * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK has been successfully transmitted without
+ * any errors (like issues specific to the driver/HW).
+ * This flag must not be set for frames that don't request no-ack
+ * behaviour with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK.
+ *
+ * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
+ * forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL:
+ * The hardware or firmware includes rate control, and cannot be
+ * controlled by the stack. As such, no rate control algorithm
+ * should be instantiated, and the TX rate reported to userspace
+ * will be taken from the TX status instead of the rate control
+ * algorithm.

+ * @use_cts_prot for G/N protection, @use_short_slot for slot
+ * timing in 2.4 GHz and @use_short_preamble for preambles for
+ * CCK frames.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_RX_INCLUDES_FCS:
+ * Indicates that received frames passed to the stack include
+ * the FCS at the end.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING:
+ * Some wireless LAN chipsets buffer broadcast/multicast frames
+ * for power saving stations in the hardware/firmware and others
+ * rely on the host system for such buffering. This option is used
+ * to configure the IEEE 802.11 upper layer to buffer broadcast and
+ * multicast frames when there are power saving stations so that
+ * the driver can fetch them with ieee80211_get_buffered_bc().
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC:
+ * Hardware can provide signal values but we don't know its units. We
+ * expect values between 0 and @max_signal.
+ * If possible please provide dB or dBm instead.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM:
+ * Hardware gives signal values in dBm, decibel difference from
+ * one milliwatt. This is the preferred method since it is standardized
+ * between different devices. @max_signal does not need to be set.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SPECTRUM_MGMT:
+ * Hardware supports spectrum management defined in 802.11h
+ * Measurement, Channel Switch, Quieting, TPC
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_AGGREGATION:
+ * Hardware supports 11n A-MPDU aggregation.

+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS:
+ * Hardware has power save support (i.e. can go to sleep).
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK:
+ * Hardware requires nullfunc frame handling in stack, implies
+ * stack support for dynamic PS.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS:
+ * Hardware has support for dynamic PS.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_MFP_CAPABLE:
+ * Hardware supports management frame protection (MFP, IEEE 802.11w).
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS:
+ * Hardware can provide ack status reports of Tx frames to
+ * the stack.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR:
+ * The hardware performs its own connection monitoring, including
+ * periodic keep-alives to the AP and probing the AP on beacon loss.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC:
+ * This device needs to get data from beacon before association (i.e.
+ * dtim_period).
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PER_STA_GTK: The device's crypto engine supports
+ * per-station GTKs as used by IBSS RSN or during fast transition. If
+ * the device doesn't support per-station GTKs, but can be asked not
+ * to decrypt group addressed frames, then IBSS RSN support is still
+ * possible but software crypto will be used. Advertise the wiphy flag
+ * only in that case.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS: When operating in AP mode the device
+ * autonomously manages the PS status of connected stations. When
+ * this flag is set mac80211 will not trigger PS mode for connected
+ * stations based on the PM bit of incoming frames.
+ * Use ieee80211_start_ps()/ieee8021_end_ps() to manually configure
+ * the PS mode of connected stations.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMPDU_SETUP_IN_HW: The device handles TX A-MPDU session
+ * setup strictly in HW. mac80211 should not attempt to do this in
+ * software.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF: The driver would like to be informed of
+ * a virtual monitor interface when monitor interfaces are the only
+ * active interfaces.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_NO_AUTO_VIF: The driver would like for no wlanX to
+ * be created. It is expected user-space will create vifs as
+ * desired (and thus have them named as desired).
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL: The driver wants to control which of the
+ * crypto algorithms can be done in software - so don't automatically
+ * try to fall back to it if hardware crypto fails, but do so only if
+ * the driver returns 1. This also forces the driver to advertise its
+ * supported cipher suites.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORT_FAST_XMIT: The driver/hardware supports fast-xmit,
+ * this currently requires only the ability to calculate the duration
+ * for frames.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL: The driver wants to control per-interface
+ * queue mapping in order to use different queues (not just one per AC)
+ * for different virtual interfaces. See the doc section on HW queue
+ * control for more details.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE: The driver supports using a rate
+ * selection table provided by the rate control algorithm.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_P2P_DEV_ADDR_FOR_INTF: Use the P2P Device address for any
+ * P2P Interface. This will be honoured even if more than one interface
+ * is supported.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY: Use sync timing from beacon frames
+ * only, to allow getting TBTT of a DTIM beacon.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_HT_CCK_RATES: Hardware supports mixing HT/CCK rates
+ * and can cope with CCK rates in an aggregation session (e.g. by not
+ * using aggregation for such frames.)
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_CHANCTX_STA_CSA: Support 802.11h based channel-switch (CSA)
+ * for a single active channel while using channel contexts. When support
+ * is not enabled the default action is to disconnect when getting the
+ * CSA frame.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS: The driver will never modify the payload
+ * or tailroom of TX skbs without copying them first.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SINGLE_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS: The HW supports scanning on all bands
+ * in one command, mac80211 doesn't have to run separate scans per band.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_TDLS_WIDER_BW: The device/driver supports wider bandwidth
+ * than then BSS bandwidth for a TDLS link on the base channel.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_AMSDU_IN_AMPDU: The driver supports receiving A-MSDUs
+ * within A-MPDU.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS: The device/driver provides TX status
+ * for sent beacons.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_NEEDS_UNIQUE_STA_ADDR: Hardware (or driver) requires that each
+ * station has a unique address, i.e. each station entry can be identified
+ * by just its MAC address; this prevents, for example, the same station
+ * from connecting to two virtual AP interfaces at the same time.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_REORDERING_BUFFER: Hardware (or driver) manages the
+ * reordering buffer internally, guaranteeing mac80211 receives frames in
+ * order and does not need to manage its own reorder buffer or BA session
+ * timeout.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_USES_RSS: The device uses RSS and thus requires parallel RX,
+ * which implies using per-CPU station statistics.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMSDU: Hardware (or driver) supports software aggregated
+ * A-MSDU frames. Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support.
+ * When not using minstrel/minstrel_ht rate control, the driver must
+ * limit the maximum A-MSDU size based on the current tx rate by setting
+ * max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_FRAG_LIST: Hardware (or driver) supports sending frag_list
+ * skbs, needed for zero-copy software A-MSDU.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_LOW_ACK: The driver (or firmware) reports low ack event
+ * by ieee80211_report_low_ack() based on its own algorithm. For such
+ * drivers, mac80211 packet loss mechanism will not be triggered and driver
+ * is completely depending on firmware event for station kickout.
+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG: Hardware does fragmentation by itself.
+ * The stack will not do fragmentation.
+ * The callback for @set_frag_threshold should be set as well.

+ * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when

+ * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx

+ * 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.
+ *
+ * Note that in the case that the @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL flag is

+ *
+ * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
+ *
+ * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key

+ * based on the receive flags.
+ *

+
+/**
+ * DOC: Powersave support
+ *
+ * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
+ *
+ * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
+ * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
+ * flag. 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 issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
+ * back to sleep at appropriate 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 simply supported by 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_VIF_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
+ * uapsd parameter 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 usually 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_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
+ * interface 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: 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.
+ *
+ * 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.

+
+/**
+ * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
+ *
+ * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
+ * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
+ * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
+ *
+ * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
+ * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
+ * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
+ * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
+ * the driver code.
+ *
+ * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
+ * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
+ * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
+ * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
+ * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
+ * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
+ * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
+ *
+ * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
+ * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
+ * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
+ * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
+ * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
+ * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
+ * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
+ * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
+ * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
+ * @sta_notify callback.
+ *
+ * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
+ * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
+ * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
+ * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
+ * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
+ * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
+ * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
+ * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
+ * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
+ * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
+ * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
+ * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
+ * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
+ * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
+ *
+ * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
+ * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
+ *
+ * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
+ * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
+ * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
+ * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
+ * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
+ * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
+ * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
+ * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
+ * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
+ * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
+ * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
+ *
+ * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
+ * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
+ * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
+ * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
+ * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
+ * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
+ * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
+ * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
+ * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
+ * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
+ * to help the @more_data parameter is passed to tell the driver if
+ * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
+ * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
+ * buffers for those TIDs contain.
+ *
+ * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
+ * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
+ * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
+ * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
+ * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
+ * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp()
+ * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
+ *
+ * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
+ * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
+ * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
+ * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
+ * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp() in this case.
+ *
+ * Note that if the driver ever buffers frames other than QoS-data
+ * frames, it must take care to never send a non-QoS-data frame as
+ * the last frame in a service period, adding a QoS-nulldata frame
+ * after a non-QoS-data frame if needed.

+/**
+ * DOC: HW queue control
+ *
+ * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
+ * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
+ * was problematic for a few reasons:
+ * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
+ * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
+ * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
+ *
+ * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
+ * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
+ * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
+ *
+ * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
+ * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
+ * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
+ * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
+ * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
+ * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
+ * the hardware queue.
+ * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
+ * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
+ *
+ * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
+ * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
+ * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
+ * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
+ * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
+ *
+ * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
+ * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
+ * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
+ * off-channel queue: 9
+ *
+ * It would then set up the hardware like this:
+ * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
+ *
+ * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
+ * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
+ * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
+ * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
+ * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
+ * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
+ * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
+ *
+ * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
+ * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
+ *
+ * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
+ * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
+ * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
+ * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.

+/**
+ * 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.
+ * Must be 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 and can sleep.
+ *
+ * @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. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
+ * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
+ * Must be implemented and can sleep.
+ *
+ * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
+ * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
+ * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
+ * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
+ * reconfigured at resume time.
+ * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
+ * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
+ * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
+ * must return 1 from this function.
+ *
+ * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
+ * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
+ * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
+ * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
+ * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
+ *
+ * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
+ * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
+ * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
+ * in suspend().
+ *
+ * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
+ * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
+ * 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 and can sleep.
+ *
+ * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
+ * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
+ * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
+ * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
+ * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
+ *
+ * @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. It can sleep.
+ *
+ * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
+ * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
+ * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
+ * if it does. The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @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. The callback
+ * can sleep.
+ *
+ * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
+ * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
+ * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
+ * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
+ * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
+ *
+ * @config_iface_filter: Configure the interface's RX filter.
+ * This callback is optional and is used to configure which frames
+ * should be passed to mac80211. The filter_flags is the combination
+ * of FIF_* flags. The changed_flags is a bit mask that indicates
+ * which flags are changed.
+ * This callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @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 is only called between add_interface and
+ * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
+ * is enabled.
+ * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @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.
+ * The callback must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
+ * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
+ * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
+ * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
+ * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
+ *
+ * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
+ * WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
+ * offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
+ *
+ * @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. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
+ * that power save is disabled.
+ * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
+ * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
+ * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
+ * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
+ * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
+ * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
+ * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
+ * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
+ * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
+ * ieee80211_scan_completed().
+ * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
+ * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
+ * specific intervals. The driver must call the
+ * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
+ * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
+ *
+ * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
+ * In this case, ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() must not be called.
+ *
+ * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
+ * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
+ * The mac_addr parameter allows supporting NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR,
+ * the driver may set the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR flag if it
+ * can use this parameter. The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
+ * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
+ * this notification.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
+ * Returns zero if statistics are available.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @get_key_seq: If your device implements encryption in hardware and does
+ * IV/PN assignment then this callback should be provided to read the
+ * IV/PN for the given key from hardware.
+ * The callback must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
+ * if the device does fragmentation by itself. Note that to prevent the
+ * stack from doing fragmentation IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG
+ * should be set as well.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
+ * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
+ * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Note that after the callback
+ * returns it isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected;
+ * no RCU grace period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing
+ * the station. See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
+ * This callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
+ * when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
+ * should be within a CPTCFG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS conditional. This
+ * callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
+ * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
+ * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
+ * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
+ * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
+ * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
+ * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
+ * up the list of states. Also note that after the callback returns it
+ * isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected - no RCU grace
+ * period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing the station.
+ * See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sta_pre_rcu_remove: Notify driver about station removal before RCU
+ * synchronisation. This is useful if a driver needs to have station
+ * pointers protected using RCU, it can then use this call to clear
+ * the pointers instead of waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse
+ * in @sta_state.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
+ * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
+ * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
+ * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
+ * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
+ * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
+ * Must be atomic.
+ * @sta_rate_tbl_update: Notifies the driver that the rate table changed. This
+ * is only used if the configured rate control algorithm actually uses
+ * the new rate table API, and is therefore optional. Must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @sta_statistics: Get statistics for this station. For example with beacon
+ * filtering, the statistics kept by mac80211 might not be accurate, so
+ * let the driver pre-fill the statistics. The driver can fill most of
+ * the values (indicating which by setting the filled bitmap), but not
+ * all of them make sense - see the source for which ones are possible.
+ * Statistics that the driver doesn't fill will be filled by mac80211.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
+ * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
+ * Returns a negative error code on failure.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
+ * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
+ * required function.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
+ * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
+ * required function.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @offset_tsf: Offset the TSF timer by the specified value in the
+ * firmware/hardware. Preferred to set_tsf as it avoids delay between
+ * calling set_tsf() and hardware getting programmed, which will show up
+ * as TSF delay. Is not a required function.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @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.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @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.
+ * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
+ *
+ * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
+ * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
+ * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
+ * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
+ * accordingly; coverage class equals to -1 to enable ACK timeout
+ * estimation algorithm (dynack). To disable dynack set valid value for
+ * coverage class. This callback is not required and may sleep.
+ *
+ * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command. The passed @vif may
+ * be %NULL. The callback can sleep.
+ * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
+ * that the hardware queues are empty. The @queues parameter is a bitmap
+ * of queues to flush, which is useful if different virtual interfaces
+ * use different hardware queues; it may also indicate all queues.
+ * If the parameter @drop is set to %true, pending frames may be dropped.
+ * Note that vif can be NULL.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
+ * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
+ * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
+ * completion of the channel switch.
+ *
+ * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
+ * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
+ * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
+ * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
+ *
+ * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
+ *
+ * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
+ * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
+ * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
+ * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted

+ * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
+ * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
+ * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
+ * must be accepted in this case.
+ * This callback may sleep.
+ * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
+ * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
+ *
+ * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
+ *
+ * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
+ *
+ * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
+ * queues before entering power save.
+ *
+ * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
+ * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ * @event_callback: Notify driver about any event in mac80211. See
+ * &enum ieee80211_event_type for the different types.
+ * The callback must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
+ * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
+ * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
+ * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
+ * Note that if the @more_data parameter is %false the driver must check
+ * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
+ * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
+ * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
+ * more-data bit must always be set.
+ * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
+ * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
+ * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
+ * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
+ * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
+ * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
+ * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
+ * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
+ * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
+ * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
+ * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
+ * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
+ * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
+ * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
+ * ieee80211_sta_eosp() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
+ * This callback must be atomic.
+ * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
+ * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
+ * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
+ * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
+ * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
+ * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
+ * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
+ * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
+ * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
+ * ieee80211_sta_eosp() function.
+ * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
+ * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
+ * This callback must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
+ *
+ * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
+ *
+ * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
+ * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
+ *
+ * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
+ * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
+ * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
+ * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
+ * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
+ * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
+ * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
+ * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
+ * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
+ * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
+ * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
+ * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
+ *
+ * @mgd_protect_tdls_discover: Protect a TDLS discovery session. After sending
+ * a TDLS discovery-request, we expect a reply to arrive on the AP's
+ * channel. We must stay on the channel (no PSM, scan, etc.), since a TDLS
+ * setup-response is a direct packet not buffered by the AP.
+ * mac80211 will call this function just before the transmission of a TDLS
+ * discovery-request. The recommended period of protection is at least
+ * 2 * (DTIM period).
+ * The callback is optional and can sleep.
+ *
+ * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
+ * This callback may sleep.
+ * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
+ * This callback may sleep.
+ * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
+ * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
+ * channel context with different settings
+ * This callback may sleep.
+ * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
+ * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
+ * This callback may sleep.
+ * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
+ * unbound from vif.
+ * This callback may sleep.
+ * @switch_vif_chanctx: switch a number of vifs from one chanctx to
+ * another, as specified in the list of
+ * @ieee80211_vif_chanctx_switch passed to the driver, according
+ * to the mode defined in &ieee80211_chanctx_switch_mode.
+ * This callback may sleep.
+ *
+ * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
+ * information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
+ * context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
+ * software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
+ * just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
+ * disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
+ * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
+ *
+ * @reconfig_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw() and
+ * during resume, when the reconfiguration has completed.
+ * This can help the driver implement the reconfiguration step (and
+ * indicate mac80211 is ready to receive frames).
+ * This callback may sleep.
+ *
+ * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
+ * Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
+ * This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
+ *
+ * @channel_switch_beacon: Starts a channel switch to a new channel.
+ * Beacons are modified to include CSA or ECSA IEs before calling this
+ * function. The corresponding count fields in these IEs must be
+ * decremented, and when they reach 1 the driver must call
+ * ieee80211_csa_finish(). Drivers which use ieee80211_beacon_get()
+ * get the csa counter decremented by mac80211, but must check if it is
+ * 1 using ieee80211_csa_is_complete() after the beacon has been
+ * transmitted and then call ieee80211_csa_finish().
+ * If the CSA count starts as zero or 1, this function will not be called,
+ * since there won't be any time to beacon before the switch anyway.
+ * @pre_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
+ * before a channel switch procedure is started (ie. when a STA
+ * gets a CSA or a userspace initiated channel-switch), allowing
+ * the driver to prepare for the channel switch.
+ * @post_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
+ * after a channel switch procedure is completed, allowing the
+ * driver to go back to a normal configuration.
+ *
+ * @join_ibss: Join an IBSS (on an IBSS interface); this is called after all
+ * information in bss_conf is set up and the beacon can be retrieved. A
+ * channel context is bound before this is called.
+ * @leave_ibss: Leave the IBSS again.
+ *
+ * @get_expected_throughput: extract the expected throughput towards the
+ * specified station. The returned value is expressed in Kbps. It returns 0
+ * if the RC algorithm does not have proper data to provide.
+ *
+ * @get_txpower: get current maximum tx power (in dBm) based on configuration
+ * and hardware limits.
+ *
+ * @tdls_channel_switch: Start channel-switching with a TDLS peer. The driver
+ * is responsible for continually initiating channel-switching operations
+ * and returning to the base channel for communication with the AP. The
+ * driver receives a channel-switch request template and the location of
+ * the switch-timing IE within the template as part of the invocation.
+ * The template is valid only within the call, and the driver can
+ * optionally copy the skb for further re-use.
+ * @tdls_cancel_channel_switch: Stop channel-switching with a TDLS peer. Both
+ * peers must be on the base channel when the call completes.
+ * @tdls_recv_channel_switch: a TDLS channel-switch related frame (request or
+ * response) has been received from a remote peer. The driver gets
+ * parameters parsed from the incoming frame and may use them to continue
+ * an ongoing channel-switch operation. In addition, a channel-switch
+ * response template is provided, together with the location of the
+ * switch-timing IE within the template. The skb can only be used within
+ * the function call.
+ *
+ * @wake_tx_queue: Called when new packets have been added to the queue.
+ * @sync_rx_queues: Process all pending frames in RSS queues. This is a
+ * synchronization which is needed in case driver has in its RSS queues
+ * pending frames that were received prior to the control path action
+ * currently taken (e.g. disassociation) but are not processed yet.
+ *
+ * @start_nan: join an existing NAN cluster, or create a new one.
+ * @stop_nan: leave the NAN cluster.
+ * @nan_change_conf: change NAN configuration. The data in cfg80211_nan_conf
+ * contains full new configuration and changes specify which parameters
+ * are changed with respect to the last NAN config.
+ * The driver gets both full configuration and the changed parameters since
+ * some devices may need the full configuration while others need only the
+ * changed parameters.
+ * @add_nan_func: Add a NAN function. Returns 0 on success. The data in
+ * cfg80211_nan_func must not be referenced outside the scope of
+ * this call.
+ * @del_nan_func: Remove a NAN function. The driver must call
+ * ieee80211_nan_func_terminated() with
+ * NL80211_NAN_FUNC_TERM_REASON_USER_REQUEST reason code upon removal.
