[PATCH 34/37] iwlwifi: add the MVM driver (time-event.h)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Newer firmware revisions have a completely new
firmware API. This is the new driver for this
new API.

I've listed the people who directly contributed
code, but many others from various teams have
contributed in other ways.

+/**
+ * DOC: Time Events - what is it?
+ *
+ * Time Events are a fw feature that allows the driver to control the presence
+ * of the device on the channel. Since the fw supports multiple channels
+ * concurrently, the fw may choose to jump to another channel at any time.
+ * In order to make sure that the fw is on a specific channel at a certain time
+ * and for a certain duration, the driver needs to issue a time event.
+ *
+ * The simplest example is for BSS association. The driver issues a time event,
+ * waits for it to start, and only then tells mac80211 that we can start the
+ * association. This way, we make sure that the association will be done
+ * smoothly and won't be interrupted by channel switch decided within the fw.
+ */
+
+ /**
+ * DOC: The flow against the fw
+ *
+ * When the driver needs to make sure we are in a certain, at a certain time
+ * and for a certain duration, it sends a Time Event. The flow against the fw
+ * goes like this:
+ *	1) Driver sends a TIME_EVENT_CMD to the fw
+ *	2) Driver gets the response for that command. This response contains the
+ *	   Unique ID (UID) of the event.
+ *	3) The fw sends notification when the event start.
+ *
+ * Of course the API provides various options that allows to cover parameters
+ * of the flow.
+ *	What is the duration of the event?
+ *	What is the start time of the event?
+ *	Is there an end-time for the event?
+ *	How much can the event be delayed?
+ *	Can the event be split?
+ *	If yes what is the maximal number of chunks?
+ *	etc...
