Johannes Berg ad5351db89 mac80211: allow DMA optimisation 
If we have a lot of frames to transmit at once, for
instance with fragmentation, it can be an optimisation
to only tell the DMA engine about them on the last
fragment/frame to avoid banging the IO too much. This
patch allows implementation such an optimisation by
telling the driver when more frames can be expected.

Currently, this is used by mac80211 only on fragmented
frames, but could also be used in the future on other
frames when the queue was full and there are multiple
frames pending.

Note that drivers need to be careful when using this
flag, they need to kick their DMA engines not just
when this flag is clear, but also when the queue gets
full so that progress can be made.

* 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.
*
* 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.

* The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by

* @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

* @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged

* DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration

* 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.
*
* 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 update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
* handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
*/
/**
* 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 depending on the association status, and the driver
* must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary, i.e. when
* entering and leaving powersave mode. The driver 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. This mode supports dynamic PS by simply
* enabling/disabling PS.
*
* Additionally, such hardware may set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS
* flag to indicate that it can support dynamic PS mode itself (see below).
*
* 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.
*
* Dynamic powersave mode is an extension to normal powersave mode 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. This can either be supported by hardware, in which case
* the driver needs to look at the @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration
* value, or by the stack if all nullfunc handling is in the stack.
*/
/**
* DOC: Beacon filter support
*
* Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
* which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly 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_HW_BEACON_FILTER
* hardware 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.

* 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 (except for PS Poll), 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. This handler should,
* preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
* importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
* This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
* limited cases.
* 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. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
* you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
* Must be implemented.
*
* @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.
*
* @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.
* This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
* if it does.
*
* @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. 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 can sleep, and 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.
*
* @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. 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.
*
* @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.
*
* @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.
*
* @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
* Returns zero if statistics are available.
*
* @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)
*
* @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition, removal or power
* state transition of an associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.
* Must be atomic.
*
* @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.
*
* @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
* items.
*
* @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.
*
* @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.
*
* @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.
*
* @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.
*
* @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.
* Returns a negative error code on failure.
*
* @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.
*
* @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
