/**
* 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).

* @dtim_period: num of beacons before the next DTIM, for beaconing,

* 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
* as it may have been received during scanning long ago). If the
* HW flag %IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY is set, then this can
* only come from a beacon, but might not become valid until after
* association when a beacon is received (which is notified with the
* %BSS_CHANGED_DTIM flag.). See also sync_dtim_count important notice.
* @sync_device_ts: the device timestamp corresponding to the sync_tsf,
* 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.
* IMPORTANT: These three sync_* parameters would possibly be out of sync
* by the time the driver will use them. The synchronized view is currently
* guaranteed only in certain callbacks.
* @beacon_int: beacon interval
* @assoc_capability: capabilities taken from assoc resp
* @basic_rates: bitmap of basic rates, each bit stands for an
* index into the rate table configured by the driver in
* the current band.
* @beacon_rate: associated AP's beacon TX rate
* @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
* configured a higher bandwidth than this BSS uses, for example.
* @mu_group: VHT MU-MIMO group membership data
* @ht_operation_mode: HT operation mode like in &struct ieee80211_ht_operation.
* This field is only valid when the channel is a wide HT/VHT channel.
* 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
* relation to the newly configured threshold.
* @cqm_rssi_low: Connection quality monitor RSSI lower threshold, a zero value
* implies disabled. This is an alternative mechanism to the single
* threshold event and can't be enabled simultaneously with it.
* @cqm_rssi_high: Connection quality monitor RSSI upper threshold.
* @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
* offchannel/dynamic_ps operations.
* @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
* Power Control (TPC) in lower driver for the current vif. In particular
* TPC is enabled if value passed in %txpower_type is
* NL80211_TX_POWER_LIMITED (allow using less than specified from
* userspace), whereas TPC is disabled if %txpower_type is set to
* NL80211_TX_POWER_FIXED (use value configured from userspace)

* @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.

/**
* enum mac80211_rx_flags - receive flags
*
* These flags are used with the @flag member of &struct ieee80211_rx_status.
* @RX_FLAG_MMIC_ERROR: Michael MIC error was reported on this frame.
* Use together with %RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED.
* @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED: This frame was decrypted in hardware.
* @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 and 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_DUP_VALIDATED: The driver should set this flag if it did
* de-duplication by itself.
* @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_NO_SIGNAL_VAL: The signal strength value is not present.
* Valid only for data frames (mainly A-MPDU)
* @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_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_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.
* @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_VENDOR_DATA: This frame contains vendor-specific
* radiotap data in the skb->data (before the frame) as described by
* the &struct ieee80211_vendor_radiotap.
* @RX_FLAG_ALLOW_SAME_PN: Allow the same PN as same packet before.
* This is used for AMSDU subframes which can have the same PN as
