trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from the wireless extensions. this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future. for signal: IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW for noise we currently only have dBm: IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications to make sense of the signal values. i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing the hardware flags of the driver.

|
|
* 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.
|

|
|
*
|
|
* 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.

* 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.
|

* 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.)
|
|
* Must be implemented.
|
|
*
|
|
* @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
|
|
* The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
|
|
* and no monitor interfaces are present.
|
|
* When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
|
|
* must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
|
|
* the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
|
|
* MAC address of the device going away.
|
|
* Hence, this callback must be implemented.
|
|
*
|
|
* @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
|
|
* function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
|
|
*
|
|
* @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
|
|
* (e.g. BSSID changes.)
|
|
*
|
|
* @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
|
|
* parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
|
|
* level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
|
|
* This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
|
|
* for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
|
|
* of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made.
|
|
*
|
|
* @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
|
|
* See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
|
|
* This callback must be implemented and atomic.
|
|
*
|
|
* @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
|
|
* generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
|
|
* mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
|
|
* for a given AID. Must be atomic.
|
|
*
|
|
* @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
|
|
* This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
|
|
* and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
|
|
* given local_address is enabled.
|
|
*
|
|
* @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
|
|
* This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
|
|
* which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
|
|
*
|
|
* @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
|
|
* the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
|
|
* configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's registered
|
|
* bands.
|
|
*
|
|
* @get_stats: return low-level statistics
|
|
*
|
|
* @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
|
|
* callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
|
|
* and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
|
|
*
|
|
* @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
|
|
*
|
|
* @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
|
|
* the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
|
|
* the stack will not do fragmentation.
|
|
*
|
|
* @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
|
|
*
|
|
* @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
|
|
* of assocaited station or AP.
|
|
*
|
|
* @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
|
|
* bursting) for a hardware TX queue. Must be atomic.
|
|
*
|
|
* @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
|
|
* to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
|
|
* size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
|
|
* (count). The 'stats' pointer points to an array that has hw->queues +
|
|
* hw->ampdu_queues items.
|
|
*
|
|
* @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
|
|
* this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
|
|
* required function. Must be atomic.
|
|
*
|
|
* @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
|
|
* with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
|
|
* function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
|
|
* TSF synchronization.
|
|
*
|
|
* @beacon_update: Setup beacon data for IBSS beacons. Unlike access point,
|
|
* IBSS uses a fixed beacon frame which is configured using this
|
|
* function.
|
|
* If the driver returns success (0) from this callback, it owns
|
|
* the skb. That means the driver is responsible to kfree_skb() it.
|
|
* The control structure is not dynamically allocated. That means the
|
|
* driver does not own the pointer and if it needs it somewhere
|
|
* outside of the context of this function, it must copy it
|
|
* somewhere else.
|
|
* This handler is required only for IBSS mode.
|
|
*
|
|
* @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
|
|
* This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
|
|
* used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
|
|
*
|
|
* @conf_ht: Configures low level driver with 802.11n HT data. Must be atomic.
|
|
*
|
|
* @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
|
|
* The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
|
|
* the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
|
|
* ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
|
|
* is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. notice
|
|
* that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
