Felix Fietkau 6e0456b545 mac80211: add A-MSDU tx support 
Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support. For good
performance, drivers need frag_list support as well. This avoids the
need for copying data of aggregated frames. Running without it is only
supported for debugging purposes.

To avoid performance and packet size issues, the rate control module or
driver needs to limit the maximum A-MSDU size by setting
max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.

/**
* 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.
*/
/**
* 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).

* with the %BSS_CHANGED_BEACON_INFO flag, will be non-zero then.
* @sync_tsf: last beacon's/probe response's TSF timestamp (could be old

* the driver/device can use this to calculate synchronisation
* (see @sync_tsf). See also sync_dtim_count important notice.
* @sync_dtim_count: Only valid when %IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY
* is requested, see @sync_tsf/@sync_device_ts.

* @mcast_rate: per-band multicast rate index + 1 (0: disabled)
* @bssid: The BSSID for this BSS
* @enable_beacon: whether beaconing should be enabled or not
* @chandef: Channel definition for this BSS -- the hardware might be

* Note that with TDLS this can be the case (channel is HT, protection must
* be used from this field) even when the BSS association isn't using HT.
* @cqm_rssi_thold: Connection quality monitor RSSI threshold, a zero value
* implies disabled. As with the cfg80211 callback, a change here should
* cause an event to be sent indicating where the current value is in

* @cqm_rssi_hyst: Connection quality monitor RSSI hysteresis
* @arp_addr_list: List of IPv4 addresses for hardware ARP filtering. The
* may filter ARP queries targeted for other addresses than listed here.
* The driver must allow ARP queries targeted for all address listed here
* to pass through. An empty list implies no ARP queries need to pass.
* @arp_addr_cnt: Number of addresses currently on the list. Note that this
* may be larger than %IEEE80211_BSS_ARP_ADDR_LIST_LEN (the arp_addr_list
* array size), it's up to the driver what to do in that case.
* @qos: This is a QoS-enabled BSS.
* @idle: This interface is idle. There's also a global idle flag in the
* hardware config which may be more appropriate depending on what
* your driver/device needs to do.
* @ps: power-save mode (STA only). This flag is NOT affected by

* @ssid: The SSID of the current vif. Valid in AP and IBSS mode.
* @ssid_len: Length of SSID given in @ssid.
* @hidden_ssid: The SSID of the current vif is hidden. Only valid in AP-mode.
* @txpower: TX power in dBm
* @txpower_type: TX power adjustment used to control per packet Transmit

* @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.

* @RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED: the Michael MIC is stripped off this frame,
* verification has been done by the hardware.
* @RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED: The IV/ICV are stripped from this frame.
* If this flag is set, the stack cannot do any replay detection
* hence the driver or hardware will have to do that.
* @RX_FLAG_PN_VALIDATED: Currently only valid for CCMP/GCMP frames, this
* flag indicates that the PN was verified for replay protection.
* Note that this flag is also currently only supported when a frame
* is also decrypted (ie. @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED must be set)
* @RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC: Set this flag if the FCS check failed on
* the frame.
* @RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC: Set this flag if the PCLP check failed on
* the frame.
* @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
* field) is valid and contains the time the first symbol of the MPDU
* was received. This is useful in monitor mode and for proper IBSS
* merging.
* @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_END: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
* field) is valid and contains the time the last symbol of the MPDU
* (including FCS) was received.
* @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_PLCP_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
* field) is valid and contains the time the SYNC preamble was received.
* @RX_FLAG_SHORTPRE: Short preamble was used for this frame
* @RX_FLAG_HT: HT MCS was used and rate_idx is MCS index
* @RX_FLAG_VHT: VHT MCS was used and rate_index is MCS index
* @RX_FLAG_40MHZ: HT40 (40 MHz) was used
* @RX_FLAG_SHORT_GI: Short guard interval was used
* @RX_FLAG_NO_SIGNAL_VAL: The signal strength value is not present.
* Valid only for data frames (mainly A-MPDU)
* @RX_FLAG_HT_GF: This frame was received in a HT-greenfield transmission, if
* the driver fills this value it should add %IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_MCS_HAVE_FMT
* to hw.radiotap_mcs_details to advertise that fact
* @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DETAILS: A-MPDU details are known, in particular the reference
* number (@ampdu_reference) must be populated and be a distinct number for
* each A-MPDU
* @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_LAST_KNOWN: last subframe is known, should be set on all
* subframes of a single A-MPDU
* @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_IS_LAST: this subframe is the last subframe of the A-MPDU
* @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_ERROR: A delimiter CRC error has been detected
* on this subframe
* @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_KNOWN: The delimiter CRC field is known (the CRC
* is stored in the @ampdu_delimiter_crc field)
* @RX_FLAG_MIC_STRIPPED: The mic was stripped of this packet. Decryption was
* done by the hardware
* @RX_FLAG_LDPC: LDPC was used
* @RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR: Report frame only to monitor interfaces without
* processing it in any regular way.
* This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
* them for sniffing purposes.
* @RX_FLAG_SKIP_MONITOR: Process and report frame to all interfaces except
* monitor interfaces.
* This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
* them for sniffing purposes.
* @RX_FLAG_STBC_MASK: STBC 2 bit bitmask. 1 - Nss=1, 2 - Nss=2, 3 - Nss=3
* @RX_FLAG_10MHZ: 10 MHz (half channel) was used
* @RX_FLAG_5MHZ: 5 MHz (quarter channel) was used
* @RX_FLAG_AMSDU_MORE: Some drivers may prefer to report separate A-MSDU
* subframes instead of a one huge frame for performance reasons.
* All, but the last MSDU from an A-MSDU should have this flag set. E.g.
* if an A-MSDU has 3 frames, the first 2 must have the flag set, while
* the 3rd (last) one must not have this flag set. The flag is used to
* deal with retransmission/duplication recovery properly since A-MSDU
* subframes share the same sequence number. Reported subframes can be
* either regular MSDU or singly A-MSDUs. Subframes must not be
* interleaved with other frames.

* enum ieee80211_hw_flags - hardware flags
*
* These flags are used to indicate hardware capabilities to
* the stack. Generally, flags here should have their meaning
* done in a way that the simplest hardware doesn't need setting
* any particular flags. There are some exceptions to this rule,
* however, so you are advised to review these flags carefully.
*
* @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.
* Note that this requires that the driver implement a number of
* callbacks so it has the correct information, it needs to have
* the @set_rts_threshold callback and must look at the BSS config
* @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.
*
* @NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS: number of hardware flags, used for sizing arrays

* 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 a @sta parameter that will be NULL
* for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
* the station information for the peer for individual keys.
* Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
* VLANs are configured for an access point.
*
* 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.
*
* Note that in the case that the @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL flag is
* set, mac80211 will not automatically fall back to software crypto if
* enabling hardware crypto failed. The set_key() call may also return the
* value 1 to permit this specific key/algorithm to be done in software.
*
* 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 every time 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 update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
* handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
*
* The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index
* configured to the hardware for WEP encryption type. This is required
* for devices that support offload of data packets (e.g. ARP responses).

/**
* 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: Spatial multiplexing power save
*
* SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
* power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
* and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
* "11.2.3 SM power save".
*
* The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
* to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
* the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
* requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
* support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
* hardware flags.
*
* The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
* defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
* turned off otherwise.
*
* To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
* hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
* operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
* enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
*/
/**
* 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.

* 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

* 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.

* 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.

* 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; if this callback is
* implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
* 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
* and @sta_remove_debugfs should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS
* conditional. This callback can sleep.
*
* @sta_remove_debugfs: Remove the debugfs files which were added using
* @sta_add_debugfs. 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.
*
* @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.
*
* @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.
* When the action is set to %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL the driver
* may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than @buf_size
* nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
* buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
* possible with a buf_size of 8:
* - TX: 1.....7
* - RX: 2....7 (lost frame #1)
* - TX: 8..1...
* which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
* buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
* - TX: 1 or 18 or 81
* Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
*
* Returns a negative error code on failure.
* 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
* normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
* 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 an 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.
