IEEE80211_RX(9) The basic mac80211 driver inte IEEE80211_RX(9)NAMEieee80211_rx - receive frame
SYNOPSIS
void ieee80211_rx(struct ieee80211_hw * hw, struct sk_buff * skb);
ARGUMENTS
hw
the hardware this frame came in on
skb
the buffer to receive, owned by mac80211 after this call
DESCRIPTION
Use this function to hand received frames to mac80211. The receive
buffer in skb must start with an IEEE 802.11 header. In case of a paged
skb is used, the driver is recommended to put the ieee80211 header of
the frame on the linear part of the skb to avoid memory allocation
and/or memcpy by the stack.
This function may not be called in IRQ context. Calls to this function
for a single hardware must be synchronized against each other. Calls to
this function, ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe may not be
mixed for a single hardware. Must not run concurrently with
ieee80211_tx_status or ieee80211_tx_status_ni.
In process context use instead ieee80211_rx_ni.
