NAME
       struct_ieee80211_tx_rate_control - rate control information for/from RC algo

SYNOPSIS
       struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control {
         struct ieee80211_hw * hw;
         struct ieee80211_supported_band * sband;
         struct ieee80211_bss_conf * bss_conf;
         struct sk_buff * skb;
         struct ieee80211_tx_rate reported_rate;
         bool rts;
         bool short_preamble;
         u8 max_rate_idx;
         u32 rate_idx_mask;
         u8 * rate_idx_mcs_mask;
         bool bss;
       };

MEMBERS
       hw
           The hardware the algorithm is invoked for.

       sband
           The band this frame is being transmitted on.

       bss_conf
           the current BSS configuration

       skb
           the skb that will be transmitted, the control information in it needs to be filled in

       reported_rate
           The rate control algorithm can fill this in to indicate which rate should be reported
           to userspace as the current rate and used for rate calculations in the mesh network.

       rts
           whether RTS will be used for this frame because it is longer than the RTS threshold

       short_preamble
           whether mac80211 will request short-preamble transmission if the selected rate
           supports it

       max_rate_idx
           user-requested maximum (legacy) rate (deprecated; this will be removed once drivers
           get updated to use rate_idx_mask)

       rate_idx_mask
           user-requested (legacy) rate mask

       rate_idx_mcs_mask
           user-requested MCS rate mask (NULL if not in use)

       bss
           whether this frame is sent out in AP or IBSS mode
