So if b0 +of the it_present member of ieee80211_radiotap_header is set, it means that +the header for argument index 0 (IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_TSFT) is present in the +argument area. + + < 8-byte ieee80211_radiotap_header > + [ ] + [ ... ] + +At the moment there are only 13 possible argument indexes defined, but in case +we run out of space in the u32 it_present member, it is defined that b31 set +indicates that there is another u32 bitmap following (shown as "possible +argument bitmap extensions..." above), and the start of the arguments is moved +forward 4 bytes each time. + +Note also that the it_len member __le16 is set to the total number of bytes +covered by the ieee80211_radiotap_header and any arguments following. + + +Requirements for arguments +-------------------------- + +After the fixed part of the header, the arguments follow for each argument +index whose matching bit is set in the it_present member of +ieee80211_radiotap_header. + + - the arguments are all stored little-endian! + + - the argument payload for a given argument index has a fixed size. So + IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_TSFT being present always indicates an 8-byte argument is + present. See the comments in ./include/net/ieee80211_radiotap.h for a nice + breakdown of all the argument sizes + + - the arguments must be aligned to a boundary of the argument size using + padding. So a u16 argument must start on the next u16 boundary if it isn't + already on one, a u32 must start on the next u32 boundary and so on. + + - "alignment" is relative to the start of the ieee80211_radiotap_header, ie, + the first byte of the radiotap header. The absolute alignment of that first + byte isn't defined. So even if the whole radiotap header is starting at, eg, + address 0x00000003, still the first byte of the radiotap header is treated as + 0 for alignment purposes. + + - the above point that there may be no absolute alignment for multibyte + entities in the fixed radiotap header or the argument region means that you + have to take special evasive action when trying to access these multibyte + entities. Some arches like Blackfin cannot deal with an attempt to + dereference, eg, a u16 pointer that is pointing to an odd address. Instead + you have to use a kernel API get_unaligned() to dereference the pointer, + which will do it bytewise on the arches that require that. + + - The arguments for a given argument index can be a compound of multiple types + together. For example IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_CHANNEL has an argument payload + consisting of two u16s of total length 4. When this happens, the padding + rule is applied dealing with a u16, NOT dealing with a 4-byte single entity. + + +Example valid radiotap header +----------------------------- + + 0x00, 0x00, // <-- radiotap version + pad byte + 0x0b, 0x00, // <- radiotap header length + 0x04, 0x0c, 0x00, 0x00, // <-- bitmap + 0x6c, // <-- rate (in 500kHz units) + 0x0c, //<-- tx power + 0x01 //<-- antenna + + +Andy Green -- cgit v1.2.3 From 179f831bc33104d14deb54a52b7a8b43433f8ccc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Green Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:29:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: Radiotap parser Generic code to walk through the fields in a radiotap header, accounting for nasties like extended "field present" bitfields and alignment rules Signed-off-by: Andy Green Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc Signed-off-by: John W.
