| * |
| * The WiMAX stack provides an API for controlling and managing the |
| * system's WiMAX devices. This API affects the control plane; the |
| * data plane is accessed via the network stack (netdev). |
| * |
| * Parts of the WiMAX stack API and notifications are exported to |
| * user space via Generic Netlink. In user space, libwimax (part of |
| * the wimax-tools package) provides a shim layer for accessing those |
| * calls. |
| * |
| * The API is standarized for all WiMAX devices and different drivers |
| * implement the backend support for it. However, device-specific |
| * messaging pipes are provided that can be used to issue commands and |
| * receive notifications in free form. |
| * |
| * Currently the messaging pipes are the only means of control as it |
| * is not known (due to the lack of more devices in the market) what |
| * will be a good abstraction layer. Expect this to change as more |
| * devices show in the market. This API is designed to be growable in |
| * order to address this problem. |
| * |
| * USAGE |
| * |
| * Embed a `struct wimax_dev` at the beginning of the the device's |
| * private structure, initialize and register it. For details, see |
| * `struct wimax_dev`s documentation. |
| * |
| * Once this is done, wimax-tools's libwimaxll can be used to |
| * communicate with the driver from user space. You user space |
| * application does not have to forcibily use libwimaxll and can talk |
| * the generic netlink protocol directly if desired. |
| * |
| * Remember this is a very low level API that will to provide all of |
| * WiMAX features. Other daemons and services running in user space |
| * are the expected clients of it. They offer a higher level API that |
| * applications should use (an example of this is the Intel's WiMAX |
| * Network Service for the i2400m). |
| * |
| * DESIGN |
| * |
| * Although not set on final stone, this very basic interface is |
| * mostly completed. Remember this is meant to grow as new common |
| * operations are decided upon. New operations will be added to the |
| * interface, intent being on keeping backwards compatibility as much |
| * as possible. |
| * |
| * This layer implements a set of calls to control a WiMAX device, |
| * exposing a frontend to the rest of the kernel and user space (via |
| * generic netlink) and a backend implementation in the driver through |
| * function pointers. |
| * |
| * WiMAX devices have a state, and a kernel-only API allows the |
| * drivers to manipulate that state. State transitions are atomic, and |
| * only some of them are allowed (see `enum wimax_st`). |
| * |
| * Most API calls will set the state automatically; in most cases |
| * drivers have to only report state changes due to external |
| * conditions. |
| * |
| * All API operations are 'atomic', serialized through a mutex in the |
| * `struct wimax_dev`. |
| * |
| * EXPORTING TO USER SPACE THROUGH GENERIC NETLINK |
| * |
| * The API is exported to user space using generic netlink (other |
| * methods can be added as needed). |
| * |
| * There is a Generic Netlink Family named "WiMAX", where interfaces |
| * supporting the WiMAX interface receive commands and broadcast their |
| * signals over a multicast group named "msg". |
| * |
| * Mapping to the source/destination interface is done by an interface |
| * index attribute. |
| * |
| * For user-to-kernel traffic (commands) we use a function call |
| * marshalling mechanism, where a message X with attributes A, B, C |
| * sent from user space to kernel space means executing the WiMAX API |
| * call wimax_X(A, B, C), sending the results back as a message. |
| * |
| * Kernel-to-user (notifications or signals) communication is sent |
| * over multicast groups. This allows to have multiple applications |
| * monitoring them. |
| * |
| * Each command/signal gets assigned it's own attribute policy. This |
| * way the validator will verify that all the attributes in there are |
| * only the ones that should be for each command/signal. Thing of an |
| * attribute mapping to a type+argumentname for each command/signal. |
| * |
| * If we had a single policy for *all* commands/signals, after running |
| * the validator we'd have to check "does this attribute belong in |
| * here"? for each one. It can be done manually, but it's just easier |
| * to have the validator do that job with multiple policies. As well, |
| * it makes it easier to later expand each command/signal signature |
| * without affecting others and keeping the namespace more or less |
| * sane. Not that it is too complicated, but it makes it even easier. |
| * |
| * No state information is maintained in the kernel for each user |
| * space connection (the connection is stateless). |
| * |
| * TESTING FOR THE INTERFACE AND VERSIONING |
| * |
| * If network interface X is a WiMAX device, there will be a Generic |
| * Netlink family named "WiMAX X" and the device will present a |
| * "wimax" directory in it's network sysfs directory |
| * (/sys/class/net/DEVICE/wimax) [used by HAL]. |
| * |
| * The inexistence of any of these means the device does not support |
| * this WiMAX API. |
| * |
| * By querying the generic netlink controller, versioning information |
| * and the multicast groups available can be found. Applications using |
| * the interface can either rely on that or use the generic netlink |
| * controller to figure out which generic netlink commands/signals are |
| * supported. |
| * |
| * NOTE: this versioning is a last resort to avoid hard |
| * incompatibilities. It is the intention of the design of this |
| * stack not to introduce backward incompatible changes. |
| * |
| * The version code has to fit in one byte (restrictions imposed by |
| * generic netlink); we use `version / 10` for the major version and |
| * `version % 10` for the minor. This gives 9 minors for each major |
| * and 25 majors. |
| * |
| * The version change protocol is as follow: |
| * |
| * - Major versions: needs to be increased if an existing message/API |
| * call is changed or removed. Doesn't need to be changed if a new |
| * message is added. |
| * |
| * - Minor version: needs to be increased if new messages/API calls are |
| * being added or some other consideration that doesn't impact the |
| * user-kernel interface too much (like some kind of bug fix) and |
| * that is kind of left up in the air to common sense. |
| * |
| * User space code should not try to work if the major version it was |
| * compiled for differs from what the kernel offers. As well, if the |
| * minor version of the kernel interface is lower than the one user |
| * space is expecting (the one it was compiled for), the kernel |
| * might be missing API calls; user space shall be ready to handle |
| * said condition. Use the generic netlink controller operations to |
| * find which ones are supported and which not. |
| * |
| * libwimaxll:wimaxll_open() takes care of checking versions. |
| * |
| * THE OPERATIONS: |
| * |
| * Each operation is defined in its on file (drivers/net/wimax/op-*.c) |
| * for clarity. The parts needed for an operation are: |
| * |
| * - a function pointer in `struct wimax_dev`: optional, as the |
| * operation might be implemented by the stack and not by the |
| * driver. |
| * |
| * All function pointers are named wimax_dev->op_*(), and drivers |
| * must implement them except where noted otherwise. |
| * |
| * - When exported to user space, a `struct nla_policy` to define the |
| * attributes of the generic netlink command and a `struct genl_ops` |
| * to define the operation. |
| * |
| * All the declarations for the operation codes (WIMAX_GNL_OP_<NAME>) |
| * and generic netlink attributes (WIMAX_GNL_<NAME>_*) are declared in |
| * include/linux/wimax.h; this file is intended to be cloned by user |
| * space to gain access to those declarations. |
| * |
| * A few caveats to remember: |
| * |
| * - Need to define attribute numbers starting in 1; otherwise it |
| * fails. |
| * |
| * - the `struct genl_family` requires a maximum attribute id; when |
| * defining the `struct nla_policy` for each message, it has to have |
| * an array size of WIMAX_GNL_ATTR_MAX+1. |
| * |
| * The op_*() function pointers will not be called if the wimax_dev is |
| * in a state <= %WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED. The exception is: |
| * |
| * - op_reset: can be called at any time after wimax_dev_add() has |
| * been called. |
| * |
| * THE PIPE INTERFACE: |
| * |
| * This interface is kept intentionally simple. The driver can send |
| * and receive free-form messages to/from user space through a |
| * pipe. See drivers/net/wimax/op-msg.c for details. |
| * |
| * The kernel-to-user messages are sent with |
| * wimax_msg(). user-to-kernel messages are delivered via |
| * wimax_dev->op_msg_from_user(). |
| * |
| * RFKILL: |
| * |
| * RFKILL support is built into the wimax_dev layer; the driver just |
| * needs to call wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to inform of changes in |
| * the hardware or software RF kill switches. When the stack wants to |
| * turn the radio off, it will call wimax_dev->op_rfkill_sw_toggle(), |
| * which the driver implements. |
| * |
| * User space can set the software RF Kill switch by calling |
| * wimax_rfkill(). |
| * |
| * The code for now only supports devices that don't require polling; |
| * If the device needs to be polled, create a self-rearming delayed |
| * work struct for polling or look into adding polled support to the |
| * WiMAX stack. |
| * |
| * When initializing the hardware (_probe), after calling |
| * wimax_dev_add(), query the device for it's RF Kill switches status |
| * and feed it back to the WiMAX stack using |
| * wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}(). If any switch is missing, always |
| * report it as ON. |
| * |
| * NOTE: the wimax stack uses an inverted terminology to that of the |
| * RFKILL subsystem: |
| * |
| * - ON: radio is ON, RFKILL is DISABLED or OFF. |
| * - OFF: radio is OFF, RFKILL is ENABLED or ON. |
| * |
| * MISCELLANEOUS OPS: |
| * |
| * wimax_reset() can be used to reset the device to power on state; by |
| * default it issues a warm reset that maintains the same device |
| * node. If that is not possible, it falls back to a cold reset |
| * (device reconnect). The driver implements the backend to this |
| * through wimax_dev->op_reset(). |

| /** |
| * struct wimax_dev - Generic WiMAX device |
| * |
| * @net_dev: [fill] Pointer to the &struct net_device this WiMAX |
| * device implements. |
| * |
| * @op_msg_from_user: [fill] Driver-specific operation to |
| * handle a raw message from user space to the driver. The |
| * driver can send messages to user space using with |
| * wimax_msg_to_user(). |
| * |
| * @op_rfkill_sw_toggle: [fill] Driver-specific operation to act on |
| * userspace (or any other agent) requesting the WiMAX device to |
| * change the RF Kill software switch (WIMAX_RF_ON or |
| * WIMAX_RF_OFF). |
| * If such hardware support is not present, it is assumed the |
| * radio cannot be switched off and it is always on (and the stack |
| * will error out when trying to switch it off). In such case, |
| * this function pointer can be left as NULL. |
| * |
| * @op_reset: [fill] Driver specific operation to reset the |
| * device. |
| * This operation should always attempt first a warm reset that |
| * does not disconnect the device from the bus and return 0. |
| * If that fails, it should resort to some sort of cold or bus |
| * reset (even if it implies a bus disconnection and device |
| * disappearance). In that case, -ENODEV should be returned to |
| * indicate the device is gone. |
| * This operation has to be synchronous, and return only when the |
| * reset is complete. In case of having had to resort to bus/cold |
| * reset implying a device disconnection, the call is allowed to |
| * return immediately. |
| * NOTE: wimax_dev->mutex is NOT locked when this op is being |
| * called; however, wimax_dev->mutex_reset IS locked to ensure |
| * serialization of calls to wimax_reset(). |
| * See wimax_reset()'s documentation. |
| * |
| * @name: [fill] A way to identify this device. We need to register a |
| * name with many subsystems (rfkill, workqueue creation, etc). |
| * We can't use the network device name as that |
| * might change and in some instances we don't know it yet (until |
| * we don't call register_netdev()). So we generate an unique one |
| * using the driver name and device bus id, place it here and use |
| * it across the board. Recommended naming: |
| * DRIVERNAME-BUSNAME:BUSID (dev->bus->name, dev->bus_id). |
| * |
| * @id_table_node: [private] link to the list of wimax devices kept by |
| * id-table.c. Protected by it's own spinlock. |
| * |
| * @mutex: [private] Serializes all concurrent access and execution of |
| * operations. |
| * |
| * @mutex_reset: [private] Serializes reset operations. Needs to be a |
| * different mutex because as part of the reset operation, the |
| * driver has to call back into the stack to do things such as |
| * state change, that require wimax_dev->mutex. |
| * |
| * @state: [private] Current state of the WiMAX device. |
| * |
| * @rfkill: [private] integration into the RF-Kill infrastructure. |
| * |
| * @rf_sw: [private] State of the software radio switch (OFF/ON) |
| * |
| * @rf_hw: [private] State of the hardware radio switch (OFF/ON) |
| * |
| * @debugfs_dentry: [private] Used to hook up a debugfs entry. This |
| * shows up in the debugfs root as wimax\:DEVICENAME. |
| * |
| * Description: |
| * This structure defines a common interface to access all WiMAX |
| * devices from different vendors and provides a common API as well as |
| * a free-form device-specific messaging channel. |
| * |
| * Usage: |
| * 1. Embed a &struct wimax_dev at *the beginning* the network |
| * device structure so that netdev_priv() points to it. |
| * |
| * 2. memset() it to zero |
| * |
| * 3. Initialize with wimax_dev_init(). This will leave the WiMAX |
| * device in the %__WIMAX_ST_NULL state. |
| * |
| * 4. Fill all the fields marked with [fill]; once called |
| * wimax_dev_add(), those fields CANNOT be modified. |
| * |
| * 5. Call wimax_dev_add() *after* registering the network |
| * device. This will leave the WiMAX device in the %WIMAX_ST_DOWN |
| * state. |
| * Protect the driver's net_device->open() against succeeding if |
| * the wimax device state is lower than %WIMAX_ST_DOWN. |
| * |
| * 6. Select when the device is going to be turned on/initialized; |
| * for example, it could be initialized on 'ifconfig up' (when the |
| * netdev op 'open()' is called on the driver). |
| * |
| * When the device is initialized (at `ifconfig up` time, or right |
| * after calling wimax_dev_add() from _probe(), make sure the |
| * following steps are taken |
| * |
| * a. Move the device to %WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED. This is needed so |
| * some API calls that shouldn't work until the device is ready |
| * can be blocked. |
| * |
| * b. Initialize the device. Make sure to turn the SW radio switch |
| * off and move the device to state %WIMAX_ST_RADIO_OFF when |
| * done. When just initialized, a device should be left in RADIO |
| * OFF state until user space devices to turn it on. |
| * |
| * c. Query the device for the state of the hardware rfkill switch |
| * and call wimax_rfkill_report_hw() and wimax_rfkill_report_sw() |
| * as needed. See below. |
| * |
| * wimax_dev_rm() undoes before unregistering the network device. Once |
| * wimax_dev_add() is called, the driver can get called on the |
| * wimax_dev->op_* function pointers |
| * |
| * CONCURRENCY: |
| * |
| * The stack provides a mutex for each device that will disallow API |
| * calls happening concurrently; thus, op calls into the driver |
| * through the wimax_dev->op*() function pointers will always be |
| * serialized and *never* concurrent. |
| * |
| * For locking, take wimax_dev->mutex is taken; (most) operations in |
| * the API have to check for wimax_dev_is_ready() to return 0 before |
| * continuing (this is done internally). |
| * |
| * REFERENCE COUNTING: |
| * |
| * The WiMAX device is reference counted by the associated network |
| * device. The only operation that can be used to reference the device |
| * is wimax_dev_get_by_genl_info(), and the reference it acquires has |
| * to be released with dev_put(wimax_dev->net_dev). |
| * |
| * RFKILL: |
| * |
| * At startup, both HW and SW radio switchess are assumed to be off. |
| * |
| * At initialization time [after calling wimax_dev_add()], have the |
| * driver query the device for the status of the software and hardware |
| * RF kill switches and call wimax_report_rfkill_hw() and |
| * wimax_rfkill_report_sw() to indicate their state. If any is |
| * missing, just call it to indicate it is ON (radio always on). |
| * |
| * Whenever the driver detects a change in the state of the RF kill |
| * switches, it should call wimax_report_rfkill_hw() or |
| * wimax_report_rfkill_sw() to report it to the stack. |
