mac80211解析四

mac80211中创建station由用户空间通过nl80211发起，首先要分配sta_info对象空间，sta_info的定义如下：

/**
 * struct sta_info - STA information
 *
 * This structure collects information about a station that
 * mac80211 is communicating with.
 */
struct sta_info {
    /* General information, mostly static */
    struct list_head list, free_list;

调用了ieee80211_add_station函数来实现创建，ieee80211_add_station函数内容如下：

static int ieee80211_add_station(struct wiphy *wiphy, struct net_device *dev,
                 const u8 *mac,
                 struct station_parameters *params)
{
    struct ieee80211_local *local = wiphy_priv(wiphy);
    struct sta_info *sta;
    struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata;
    int err;
    int layer2_update;

    if (params->vlan) {
        sdata = IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF(params->vlan);

        if (sdata->vif.type != NL80211_IFTYPE_AP_VLAN &&
            sdata->vif.type != NL80211_IFTYPE_AP)
            return -EINVAL;
    } else
        sdata = IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF(dev);

    if (ether_addr_equal(mac, sdata->vif.addr))
        return
