wifi: mac80211: make monitor link info check more specific

2025-11-11T10:05:19+00:00

Verify that only one of the permitted change flags is set when changing the link of a monitor interface. Before the WARN_ON_ONCE would accept anything if mu_mimo_owner was set. Also, split out the mu_mimo_owner flag and enable it for all interface types. The option is set during association when VHT is available and it is not expected that any configuration of the MU groups is done without it being set.

wifi: mac80211: don't send keys to driver when fips_enabled

2025-07-15T09:00:38+00:00

When fips_enabled is set, don't send any keys to the driver (including possibly WoWLAN KEK/KCK material), assuming that no device exists with the necessary certifications. If this turns out to be false in the future, we can add a HW flag.

wifi: mac80211: remove debugfs dir for virtual monitor

2025-02-11T11:40:27+00:00

Don't call ieee80211_debugfs_recreate_netdev() for virtual monitor interface when deleting it. The virtual monitor interface shouldn't have debugfs entries and trying to update them will *create* them on deletion. And when the virtual monitor interface is created/destroyed multiple times we'll get warnings about debugfs name conflicts.

wifi: mac80211: add flag to opt out of virtual monitor support

2024-10-23T14:45:43+00:00

This is useful for multi-radio devices that are capable of monitoring on multiple channels simultanenously. When this flag is set, each monitor interface is passed to the driver individually and can have a configured channel. The vif mac address for non-active monitor interfaces is cleared, in order to allow the driver to tell them apart from active ones.

wifi: mac80211: call rate_control_rate_update() for link STA

2024-10-23T14:43:27+00:00

In order to update the right link information, call the update rate_control_rate_update() with the right link_sta, and then pass that through to the driver's sta_rc_update() method. The software rate control still doesn't support it, but that'll be skipped by not having a rate control ref. Since it now operates on a link sta, rename the driver method.

wifi: mac80211: fix monitor channel with chanctx emulation

2024-06-14T07:14:08+00:00

After the channel context emulation, there were reports that changing the monitor channel no longer works. This is because those drivers don't have WANT_MONITOR_VIF, so the setting the channel always exits out quickly. Fix this by always allocating the virtual monitor sdata, and simply not telling the driver about it unless it wanted to. This way, we have an interface/sdata to bind the chanctx to, and the emulation can work correctly.

wifi: mac80211: add ieee80211_vif_link_active() helper

2024-03-04T13:32:53+00:00

We sometimes need to check if a link is active, and this is complicated by the fact that active_links has no bits set when the vif isn't (acting as) an MLD. Add a small new helper ieee80211_vif_link_active() to make that a bit easier, and use it in a few places.
