- /************************** 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 is a few shortcommings :
- * 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 apropriately.
- *
- * 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 shortcomming 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 controversials. 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 developper 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.
