wifi: mac80211: add support for NDP ADDBA/DELBA for S1G

2026-03-06T09:52:11+00:00

S1G defines use of NDP Block Ack (BA) for aggregation, requiring negotiation of NDP ADDBA/DELBA action frames. If the S1G recipient supports HT-immediate block ack, the sender must send an NDP ADDBA Request indicating it expects only NDP BlockAck frames for the agreement. Introduce support for NDP ADDBA and DELBA exchange in mac80211. The implementation negotiates the BA mechanism during setup based on station capabilities and driver support (IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_NDP_BLOCKACK). If negotiation fails due to mismatched expectations, a rejection with status code WLAN_STATUS_REJECTED_NDP_BLOCK_ACK_SUGGESTED is returned as per IEEE 802.11-2024.

wifi: move action code from per-type frame structs

2026-03-06T09:36:26+00:00

The action code actually serves to identify the type of action frame, so it really isn't part of the per-type structure. Pull it out and have it in the general action frame format. In theory, whether or not the action code is present in this way is up to each category, but all categories that are defined right now all have that value. While at it, and since this change requires changing all users, remove the 'u' and make it an anonymous union in this case, so that all code using this changes. Change IEEE80211_MIN_ACTION_SIZE to take an argument which says how much of the frame is needed, e.g. category, action_code or the specific frame type that's defined in the union. Again this also ensures that all code is updated. In some cases, fix bugs where the SKB length was checked after having accessed beyond the checked length, in particular in FTM code, e.g. ieee80211_is_ftm().

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

wifi: mac80211: aggregation: remove deflink accesses for MLO

2025-02-11T10:59:08+00:00

If a station has connected with MLO (as indicated by valid_links being non-zero, even if that may have just a single bit set), it necessarily supports EHT/aggregation, so we don't need to check the deflink for those cases. Add conditions so we can support removing the link it/we used to associate on. Note that we still use the statistics in the deflink, but that's a whole different story we will need to address separately.
