wifi: cfg80211: allow IR in 20 MHz configurations

2025-05-29T09:02:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit cf4bd1608882792d4742e27a819493312904a680 ] Some regulatory bodies doesn't allow IR (initiate radioation) on a specific subband, but allows it for channels with a bandwidth of 20 MHz. Add a channel flag that indicates that, and consider it in cfg80211_reg_check_beaconing. While on it, fix the kernel doc of enum nl80211_reg_rule_flags and change it to use BIT().

wifi: cfg80211: add support for advertising multiple radios belonging to a wiphy

2024-07-09T09:29:59+00:00

The prerequisite for MLO support in cfg80211/mac80211 is that all the links participating in MLO must be from the same wiphy/ieee80211_hw. To meet this expectation, some drivers may need to group multiple discrete hardware each acting as a link in MLO under single wiphy. With this change, supported frequencies and interface combinations of each individual radio are reported to user space. This allows user space to figure out the limitations of what combination of channels can be used concurrently. Even for non-MLO devices, this improves support for devices capable of running on multiple channels at the same time.

wifi: cfg80211: add regulatory flag to allow VLP AP operation

2024-06-12T11:04:25+00:00

Add a regulatory flag to allow VLP AP operation even on channels otherwise marked NO_IR, which may be possible in some regulatory domains/countries. Note that this requires checking also when the beacon is changed, since that may change the regulatory power type.

Currently kernel-doc raises "warning: bad line:" for several comments that have invalid multi-line comment style; they are missing the leading '*'. And checkpatch.pl raises "WARNING: please, no space before tabs" for a large number of comments which have space then tab after the leading '*'. Fix those issues.

wifi: nl80211: rename enum plink_actions

2024-03-25T14:36:55+00:00

kernel-doc flagged the following issue: include/uapi/linux/nl80211.h:6081: warning: expecting prototype for enum nl80211_plink_action. Prototype was for enum plink_actions instead This is because the documentation doesn't match the code. Normally the correct fix for such an issue is to modify the documentation to match the code. However, in this case, since the actual name plink_actions is not referenced by any code, rename it to nl80211_plink_action to give it a proper prefix and match the documentation.

wifi: nl80211: allow reporting wakeup for unprot deauth/disassoc

2024-02-12T20:22:48+00:00

Add a report reason for waking up due to an unprotected deauth/disassoc when MFP is used. If setting wowlan to wake on disconnection, and an unprotected deatuh/disassoc arrived (in MFP), some drivers might want to report wakeup due to unprotected deauth/disassoc, rather than dissassociation. Add support for that.

wifi: cfg80211: optionally support monitor on disabled channels

2024-02-12T20:22:48+00:00

If the hardware supports a disabled channel, it may in some cases be possible to use monitor mode (without any transmit) on it when it's otherwise disabled. Add a new channel flag IEEE80211_CHAN_CAN_MONITOR that makes it possible for a driver to indicate such a thing. Make it per channel so drivers could have a choice with it, perhaps it's only possible on some channels, perhaps some channels are not supported at all, but still there and marked disabled. In _nl80211_parse_chandef() simplify the code and check only for an unknown channel, _cfg80211_chandef_usable() will later check for IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED anyway.

wifi: cfg80211: rename UHB to 6 GHz

UHB stands for "Ultra High Band", but this term doesn't really exist in the spec. Rename all occurrences to "6 GHz", but keep a few defines for userspace API compatibility.

wifi: cfg80211: add support for link id attribute in NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION

2024-02-12T20:11:24+00:00

Currently whenever NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION command is called without any MAC address, all stations present on that interface are flushed. However with MLO there is a need to flush such stations only which are using at least a particular link from the AP MLD interface. For example - 2 GHz and 5 GHz are part of an AP MLD. To this interface, following stations are connected - 1. One non-EHT STA on 2 GHz link. 2. One non-EHT STA on 5 GHz link. 3. One Multi-Link STA having 2 GHz and 5 GHz as active links. Now if currently, NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION is issued by the 2 GHz link without any MAC address, it would flush all station entries. However, flushing of station entry #2 at least is not desireable since it is connected to 5 GHz link alone. Hence, add an option to pass link ID as well in the command so that if link ID is passed, stations using that passed link ID alone would be flushed and others will not. So after this, station entries #1 and #3 alone would be flushed and #2 will remain as it is.
