SYNOPSIS

9       enum ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action {
10         IEEE80211_AMPDU_RX_START,
11         IEEE80211_AMPDU_RX_STOP,
12         IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START,
13         IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_CONT,
14         IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH,
15         IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT,
16         IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL
17       };

CONSTANTS

20       IEEE80211_AMPDU_RX_START
21           start RX aggregation
22
23       IEEE80211_AMPDU_RX_STOP
24           stop RX aggregation
25
26       IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START
27           start TX aggregation
28
29       IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_CONT
30           stop TX aggregation but continue transmitting queued packets, now
31           unaggregated. After all packets are transmitted the driver has to
32           call ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe.
33
34       IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH
35           stop TX aggregation and flush all packets, called when the station
36           is removed. There's no need or reason to call
37           ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe in this case as mac80211 assumes
38           the session is gone and removes the station.
39
40       IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT
41           called when TX aggregation is stopped but the driver hasn't called
42           ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe yet and now the connection is
43           dropped and the station will be removed. Drivers should clean up
44           and drop remaining packets when this is called.
45
46       IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL
47           TX aggregation has become operational
48

DESCRIPTION

50       These flags are used with the ampdu_action callback in struct
51       ieee80211_ops to indicate which action is needed.
52
53       Note that drivers MUST be able to deal with a TX aggregation session
54       being stopped even before they OK'ed starting it by calling
55       ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe, because the peer might receive the
56       addBA frame and send a delBA right away!
