/**
* 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-irqsafe functions!
*/
/**
* DOC: Warning
*
* If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
* be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
*/
/**
* DOC: Frame format
*
* As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
* they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
* sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
* hardware.
*
* There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
*
* The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
* where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
*
* Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
* the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
*
* Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
* filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
* not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.

*
* When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
* selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
* pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
*
* The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
* the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
* added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
* hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
*
* When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
*
* Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
* for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
* decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
* based on the receive flags.
*
* The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
* parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
* removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
* keys.
*
* In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
* acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
* handler.
* The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
* This happens everytime the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
* set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
* rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
* provided by udpate_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
* handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

/**
* DOC: Frame filtering
*
* mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
* operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
* in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
* having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
* desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
*
* To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
* the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
* passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
*
* The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
* @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
* of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
* were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
*
* If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
* need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
* parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
* or dropped.
*
* All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
* Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
* the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
* the flag, but not clear it.
* You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
* flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
* to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
* So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
* always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
* control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
* you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
* This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
*/
/**
* enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
*
* These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
* programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
* stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
* but this has negative impact on power consumption.
*
* @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
* think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
* to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
*
* @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
* by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
* multicast address.
*
* @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
* %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
*
* @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
* the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
*
* @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
* to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
* by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
* mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
* honour this flag if possible.
*
* @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then
* only those addressed to this station
*
* @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes

/**
* 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. Must be implemented and
* atomic.
*
* @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
* is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
* frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
* Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
* or zero.
* When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
* to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
* is added.
* Must be implemented.
*
* @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
* is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
* it must turn off frame reception.)
* May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
* an interface.
* Must be implemented.
*
* @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
* enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
* and @stop must be implemented.
* The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
* the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
* interface is given in the conf parameter.
* The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
* negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
