Linux Wireless架构总结
1. 无线网络驱动(ath9k_htc)
ath9k_htc是一个基于USB接口的SoftMAC无线网络适配器。为了其驱动能正常工作，首先必须调用usb_register来注册驱动定义的usb_driver，以借助USB Core的力量来处理与USB协议相关的事件。其代码如下：
static struct usb_driver ath9k_hif_usb_driver = {
.name = KBUILD_MODNAME,
.probe = ath9k_hif_usb_probe,
.disconnect = ath9k_hif_usb_disconnect,
#ifdef CONFIG_PM
.suspend = ath9k_hif_usb_suspend,
.resume = ath9k_hif_usb_resume,
.reset_resume = ath9k_hif_usb_resume,
#endif
.id_table = ath9k_hif_usb_ids,
.soft_unbind = 1,
};2. 关键数据结构
1) struct ieee80211_hw: 它包含802.11 PHY的配置和硬件信息。
2.1 各层间关键数据接口
3. USB无线适配器枚举过程
当此基于USB接口的无线网络适配器被枚举时，ath9k_hif_usb_probe将被调用。其调用流程如下图所示：
3.1 struct ieee80211_ops 实例 ath9k_htc_ops(驱动实现)
ath9k_htc_ops: mac80211通过这些回调函数回调driver的处理函数。ath9k_htc为了接受mac80211的管理，它必须首先向mac80211注册，以申明自己的存在，从而可以接受mac80211的调用。
struct ieee80211_ops ath9k_htc_ops = {
.tx = ath9k_htc_tx, // 发送mac80211要求发送的帧
.start = ath9k_htc_start, // 第一个被attach到此硬件的net_device被enable之前被调用,之后，可以接收帧数据
.stop = ath9k_htc_stop, // 最后一个被attach到此硬件的net_device被disable之后被调用,之后，不可以接收帧数据
.add_interface = ath9k_htc_add_interface, // 当一个被attach到此硬件的net_device被enable时被调用
.remove_interface = ath9k_htc_remove_interface, // 通知driver一个接口将要going down
.config = ath9k_htc_config, // mac802.11调用它修改硬件配置
.configure_filter = ath9k_htc_configure_filter, // 配置设备的接收过滤器
.sta_add = ath9k_htc_sta_add,
.sta_remove = ath9k_htc_sta_remove,
.conf_tx = ath9k_htc_conf_tx,

}3.3 struct iw_handler_def 实例 cfg80211_wext_handler(wireless实现)
cfg80211_wext_handler实现了wext要求的ioctl操作，将通过net_device->wireless_handlers->standard[ioctl cmd- SIOCIWFIRST]来进行调用。在net/wireless/wext-compat.c中的定义如下所示：
static const iw_handler cfg80211_handlers[] = {
[IW_IOCTL_IDX(SIOCGIWNAME)] = (iw_handler) cfg80211_wext_giwname,
[IW_IOCTL_IDX(SIOCSIWFREQ)] = (iw_handler) cfg80211_wext_siwfreq,

};

.num_standard = ARRAY_SIZE(cfg80211_handlers),
.standard = cfg80211_handlers,

}4. 创建并注册net_device
当执行mac80211_config_ops-> ieee80211_add_iface时，它将创建net_device和对应的ieee80211_sub_if_data, 然后主要做了以下几件事：
1) 把net_device对应的名字增加到/sys/class/net/目录下
2) 把新创建的net_device插入到init_net->dev_base_head中
3) 通知上层协议，有一个新的net_device出现了，大家可以使用它了
4) 把新创建的ieee80211_sub_if_data增加到ieee80211_local的interfaces列表中
其流程如下图所示：
mac80211中定义的net_device_ops ieee80211_dataif_ops，以下这些方法，都有一个struct net_device参数。其具体定义如下：
static const struct net_device_ops ieee80211_dataif_ops = {
.ndo_open = ieee80211_open, // net_device变换到 UP 时被调用
.ndo_stop = ieee80211_stop, // net_device变换到 Down 时被调用
.ndo_uninit = ieee80211_teardown_sdata, // 取消注册或注册失败时调用
.ndo_start_xmit = ieee80211_subif_start_xmit, // 需要发送包时被调用
.ndo_set_multicast_list = ieee80211_set_multicast_list,// 多播地址列表变化时被调用
.ndo_change_mtu = ieee80211_change_mtu, // 当用户想改变一个设备的MTU时被调用
.ndo_set_mac_address = ieee80211_change_mac, // mac地址需要改变时被调用
.ndo_select_queue = ieee80211_netdev_select_queue, //当net_device支持多个发送队列时，用来决定使用哪个队列
};
mac80211中初始化net_device->netdev_ops:
static void ieee80211_if_setup(struct net_device *dev)
{
ether_setup(dev);
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING;
dev->netdev_ops = &ieee80211_dataif_ops;
dev->destructor = free_netdev;
}5. 数据接收(Data RX)流程
数据接收流程如下图所示：
IP层与TCP/UDP层接口定义如下：
static const struct net_protocol tcp_protocol = {
.handler = tcp_v4_rcv,
.err_handler = tcp_v4_err,
.gso_send_check = tcp_v4_gso_send_check,
.gso_segment = tcp_tso_segment,
.gro_receive = tcp4_gro_receive,
.gro_complete = tcp4_gro_complete,
.no_policy = 1,
.netns_ok = 1,
};
static const struct net_protocol udp_protocol = {
.handler = udp_rcv,
.err_handler = udp_err,
.gso_send_check = udp4_ufo_send_check,
.gso_segment = udp4_ufo_fragment,
.no_policy = 1,
.netns_ok = 1,
};
static const struct net_protocol icmp_protocol = {
.handler = icmp_rcv,
.err_handler = ping_err,
.no_policy = 1,
.netns_ok = 1,
};IP层与net/core层接口定义如下：
static struct packet_type ip_packet_type __read_mostly = {
.type = cpu_to_be16(ETH_P_IP),
.func = ip_rcv,
.gso_send_check = inet_gso_send_check,
.gso_segment = inet_gso_segment,
.gro_receive = inet_gro_receive,
.gro_complete = inet_gro_complete,
};
