| /************************** DOCUMENTATION **************************/ |
| /* |
| * Initial driver API (1996 -> onward) : |
| * ----------------------------------- |
| * The initial API just sends the IOCTL request received from user space |
| * to the driver (via the driver ioctl handler). The driver has to |
| * handle all the rest... |
| * |
| * The initial API also defines a specific handler in struct net_device |
| * to handle wireless statistics. |
| * |
| * The initial APIs served us well and has proven a reasonably good design. |
| * However, there are a few shortcomings : |
| * o No events, everything is a request to the driver. |
| * o Large ioctl function in driver with gigantic switch statement |
| * (i.e. spaghetti code). |
| * o Driver has to mess up with copy_to/from_user, and in many cases |
| * does it unproperly. Common mistakes are : |
| * * buffer overflows (no checks or off by one checks) |
| * * call copy_to/from_user with irq disabled |
| * o The user space interface is tied to ioctl because of the use |
| * copy_to/from_user. |
| * |
| * New driver API (2002 -> onward) : |
| * ------------------------------- |
| * The new driver API is just a bunch of standard functions (handlers), |
| * each handling a specific Wireless Extension. The driver just export |
| * the list of handler it supports, and those will be called appropriately. |
| * |
| * I tried to keep the main advantage of the previous API (simplicity, |
| * efficiency and light weight), and also I provide a good dose of backward |
| * compatibility (most structures are the same, driver can use both API |
| * simultaneously, ...). |
| * Hopefully, I've also addressed the shortcoming of the initial API. |
| * |
| * The advantage of the new API are : |
| * o Handling of Extensions in driver broken in small contained functions |
| * o Tighter checks of ioctl before calling the driver |
| * o Flexible commit strategy (at least, the start of it) |
| * o Backward compatibility (can be mixed with old API) |
| * o Driver doesn't have to worry about memory and user-space issues |
| * The last point is important for the following reasons : |
| * o You are now able to call the new driver API from any API you |
| * want (including from within other parts of the kernel). |
| * o Common mistakes are avoided (buffer overflow, user space copy |
| * with irq disabled and so on). |
| * |
| * The Drawback of the new API are : |
| * o bloat (especially kernel) |
| * o need to migrate existing drivers to new API |
| * My initial testing shows that the new API adds around 3kB to the kernel |
| * and save between 0 and 5kB from a typical driver. |
| * Also, as all structures and data types are unchanged, the migration is |
| * quite straightforward (but tedious). |
| * |
| * --- |
| * |
| * The new driver API is defined below in this file. User space should |
| * not be aware of what's happening down there... |
| * |
| * A new kernel wrapper is in charge of validating the IOCTLs and calling |
| * the appropriate driver handler. This is implemented in : |
| * # net/core/wireless.c |
| * |
| * The driver export the list of handlers in : |
| * # include/linux/netdevice.h (one place) |
| * |
| * The new driver API is available for WIRELESS_EXT >= 13. |
| * Good luck with migration to the new API ;-) |
| */ |
| |
| /* ---------------------- THE IMPLEMENTATION ---------------------- */ |
| /* |
| * Some of the choice I've made are pretty controversial. Defining an |
| * API is very much weighting compromises. This goes into some of the |
| * details and the thinking behind the implementation. |
| * |
| * Implementation goals : |
| * -------------------- |
| * The implementation goals were as follow : |
| * o Obvious : you should not need a PhD to understand what's happening, |
| * the benefit is easier maintenance. |
| * o Flexible : it should accommodate a wide variety of driver |
| * implementations and be as flexible as the old API. |
| * o Lean : it should be efficient memory wise to minimise the impact |
| * on kernel footprint. |
| * o Transparent to user space : the large number of user space |
| * applications that use Wireless Extensions should not need |
| * any modifications. |
| * |
| * Array of functions versus Struct of functions |
| * --------------------------------------------- |
| * 1) Having an array of functions allow the kernel code to access the |
| * handler in a single lookup, which is much more efficient (think hash |
| * table here). |
| * 2) The only drawback is that driver writer may put their handler in |
| * the wrong slot. This is trivial to test (I set the frequency, the |
| * bitrate changes). Once the handler is in the proper slot, it will be |
| * there forever, because the array is only extended at the end. |
| * 3) Backward/forward compatibility : adding new handler just require |
| * extending the array, so you can put newer driver in older kernel |
| * without having to patch the kernel code (and vice versa). |
| * |
| * All handler are of the same generic type |
| * ---------------------------------------- |
| * That's a feature !!! |
| * 1) Having a generic handler allow to have generic code, which is more |
| * efficient. If each of the handler was individually typed I would need |
| * to add a big switch in the kernel (== more bloat). This solution is |
| * more scalable, adding new Wireless Extensions doesn't add new code. |
| * 2) You can use the same handler in different slots of the array. For |
| * hardware, it may be more efficient or logical to handle multiple |
| * Wireless Extensions with a single function, and the API allow you to |
| * do that. (An example would be a single record on the card to control |
| * both bitrate and frequency, the handler would read the old record, |
| * modify it according to info->cmd and rewrite it). |
| * |
| * Functions prototype uses union iwreq_data |
| * ----------------------------------------- |
| * Some would have preferred functions defined this way : |
| * static int mydriver_ioctl_setrate(struct net_device *dev, |
| * long rate, int auto) |
| * 1) The kernel code doesn't "validate" the content of iwreq_data, and |
| * can't do it (different hardware may have different notion of what a |
| * valid frequency is), so we don't pretend that we do it. |
| * 2) The above form is not extendable. If I want to add a flag (for |
| * example to distinguish setting max rate and basic rate), I would |
| * break the prototype. Using iwreq_data is more flexible. |
| * 3) Also, the above form is not generic (see above). |
| * 4) I don't expect driver developer using the wrong field of the |
| * union (Doh !), so static typechecking doesn't add much value. |
| * 5) Lastly, you can skip the union by doing : |
| * static int mydriver_ioctl_setrate(struct net_device *dev, |
| * struct iw_request_info *info, |
| * struct iw_param *rrq, |
| * char *extra) |
| * And then adding the handler in the array like this : |
| * (iw_handler) mydriver_ioctl_setrate, // SIOCSIWRATE |
| * |
| * Using functions and not a registry |
| * ---------------------------------- |
| * Another implementation option would have been for every instance to |
| * define a registry (a struct containing all the Wireless Extensions) |
| * and only have a function to commit the registry to the hardware. |
| * 1) This approach can be emulated by the current code, but not |
| * vice versa. |
| * 2) Some drivers don't keep any configuration in the driver, for them |
| * adding such a registry would be a significant bloat. |
| * 3) The code to translate from Wireless Extension to native format is |
| * needed anyway, so it would not reduce significantely the amount of code. |
| * 4) The current approach only selectively translate Wireless Extensions |
| * to native format and only selectively set, whereas the registry approach |
| * would require to translate all WE and set all parameters for any single |
| * change. |
| * 5) For many Wireless Extensions, the GET operation return the current |
| * dynamic value, not the value that was set. |
| * |
| * This header is <net/iw_handler.h> |
| * --------------------------------- |
| * 1) This header is kernel space only and should not be exported to |
| * user space. Headers in "include/linux/" are exported, headers in |
| * "include/net/" are not. |
| * |
| * Mixed 32/64 bit issues |
| * ---------------------- |
| * The Wireless Extensions are designed to be 64 bit clean, by using only |
| * datatypes with explicit storage size. |
| * There are some issues related to kernel and user space using different |
| * memory model, and in particular 64bit kernel with 32bit user space. |
| * The problem is related to struct iw_point, that contains a pointer |
| * that *may* need to be translated. |
| * This is quite messy. The new API doesn't solve this problem (it can't), |
| * but is a step in the right direction : |
| * 1) Meta data about each ioctl is easily available, so we know what type |
| * of translation is needed. |
| * 2) The move of data between kernel and user space is only done in a single |
| * place in the kernel, so adding specific hooks in there is possible. |
| * 3) In the long term, it allows to move away from using ioctl as the |
| * user space API. |
| * |
| * So many comments and so few code |
| * -------------------------------- |
| * That's a feature. Comments won't bloat the resulting kernel binary. |
