  27 * ath_hw_setbssidmask - filter out bssids we listen
  28 *
  29 * @common: the ath_common struct for the device.
  30 *
  31 * BSSID masking is a method used by AR5212 and newer hardware to inform PCU
  32 * which bits of the interface's MAC address should be looked at when trying
  33 * to decide which packets to ACK. In station mode and AP mode with a single
  34 * BSS every bit matters since we lock to only one BSS. In AP mode with
  35 * multiple BSSes (virtual interfaces) not every bit matters because hw must
  36 * accept frames for all BSSes and so we tweak some bits of our mac address
  37 * in order to have multiple BSSes.
  38 *
  39 * NOTE: This is a simple filter and does *not* filter out all
  40 * relevant frames. Some frames that are not for us might get ACKed from us
  41 * by PCU because they just match the mask.
  42 *
  43 * When handling multiple BSSes you can get the BSSID mask by computing the
  44 * set of  ~ ( MAC XOR BSSID ) for all bssids we handle.
  45 *
  46 * When you do this you are essentially computing the common bits of all your
  47 * BSSes. Later it is assumed the hardware will "and" (&) the BSSID mask with
  48 * the MAC address to obtain the relevant bits and compare the result with
  49 * (frame's BSSID & mask) to see if they match.
  50 *
  51 * Simple example: on your card you have have two BSSes you have created with
  52 * BSSID-01 and BSSID-02. Lets assume BSSID-01 will not use the MAC address.
  53 * There is another BSSID-03 but you are not part of it. For simplicity's sake,
  54 * assuming only 4 bits for a mac address and for BSSIDs you can then have:
  55 *
  56 *                  \
  57 * MAC:        0001 |
  58 * BSSID-01:   0100 | --> Belongs to us
  59 * BSSID-02:   1001 |
  60 *                  /
  61 * -------------------
  62 * BSSID-03:   0110  | --> External
  63 * -------------------
  64 *
  65 * Our bssid_mask would then be:
  66 *
  67 *             On loop iteration for BSSID-01:
  68 *             ~(0001 ^ 0100)  -> ~(0101)
  69 *                             ->   1010
  70 *             bssid_mask      =    1010
  71 *
  72 *             On loop iteration for BSSID-02:
  73 *             bssid_mask &= ~(0001   ^   1001)
  74 *             bssid_mask =   (1010)  & ~(0001 ^ 1001)
  75 *             bssid_mask =   (1010)  & ~(1000)
  76 *             bssid_mask =   (1010)  &  (0111)
  77 *             bssid_mask =   0010
  78 *
  79 * A bssid_mask of 0010 means "only pay attention to the second least
  80 * significant bit". This is because its the only bit common
  81 * amongst the MAC and all BSSIDs we support. To findout what the real
  82 * common bit is we can simply "&" the bssid_mask now with any BSSID we have
  83 * or our MAC address (we assume the hardware uses the MAC address).
  84 *
  85 * Now, suppose there's an incoming frame for BSSID-03:
  86 *
  87 * IFRAME-01:  0110
  88 *
  89 * An easy eye-inspeciton of this already should tell you that this frame
  90 * will not pass our check. This is because the bssid_mask tells the
  91 * hardware to only look at the second least significant bit and the
  92 * common bit amongst the MAC and BSSIDs is 0, this frame has the 2nd LSB
  93 * as 1, which does not match 0.
  94 *
  95 * So with IFRAME-01 we *assume* the hardware will do:
  96 *
  97 *     allow = (IFRAME-01 & bssid_mask) == (bssid_mask & MAC) ? 1 : 0;
  98 *  --> allow = (0110 & 0010) == (0010 & 0001) ? 1 : 0;
  99 *  --> allow = (0010) == 0000 ? 1 : 0;
 100 *  --> allow = 0
 101 *
 102 *  Lets now test a frame that should work:
 103 *
 104 * IFRAME-02:  0001 (we should allow)
 105 *
 106 *     allow = (IFRAME-02 & bssid_mask) == (bssid_mask & MAC) ? 1 : 0;
 107 *  --> allow = (0001 & 0010) ==  (0010 & 0001) ? 1 :0;
 108 *  --> allow = (0000) == (0000)
 109 *  --> allow = 1
 110 *
 111 * Other examples:
 112 *
 113 * IFRAME-03:  0100 --> allowed
 114 * IFRAME-04:  1001 --> allowed
 115 * IFRAME-05:  1101 --> allowed but its not for us!!!
