wifi: mac80211: set default WMM parameters on all links

2026-03-25T10:08:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2259d14499d16b115ef8d5d2ddc867e2be7cb5b5 ] Currently, mac80211 only initializes default WMM parameters on the deflink during do_open(). For MLO cases, this leaves the additional links without proper WMM defaults if hostapd does not supply per-link WMM parameters, leading to inconsistent QoS behavior across links. Set default WMM parameters for each link during ieee80211_vif_update_links(), because this ensures all individual links in an MLD have valid WMM settings during bring-up and behave consistently across different BSS.

wifi: mac80211: use wiphy_hrtimer_work for csa.switch_work

2025-11-24T09:36:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit fbc1cc6973099f45e4c30b86f12b4435c7cb7d24 ] The work item may be scheduled relatively far in the future. As the event happens at a specific point in time, the normal timer accuracy is not sufficient in that case. Switch to use wiphy_hrtimer_work so that the accuracy is sufficient. To make this work, use the same clock to store the timestamp.

wifi: mac80211: avoid weird state in error path

2025-08-20T16:30:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit be1ba9ed221ffb95a8bb15f4c83d0694225ba808 ] If we get to the error path of ieee80211_prep_connection, for example because of a FW issue, then ieee80211_vif_set_links is called with 0. But the call to drv_change_vif_links from ieee80211_vif_update_links will probably fail as well, for the same reason. In this case, the valid_links and active_links bitmaps will be reverted to the value of the failing connection. Then, in the next connection, due to the logic of ieee80211_set_vif_links_bitmaps, valid_links will be set to the ID of the new connection assoc link, but the active_links will remain with the ID of the old connection's assoc link. If those IDs are different, we get into a weird state of valid_links and active_links being different. One of the consequences of this state is to call drv_change_vif_links with new_links as 0, since the & operation between the bitmaps will be 0. Since a removal of a link should always succeed, ignore the return value of drv_change_vif_links if it was called to only remove links, which is the case for the ieee80211_prep_connection's error path. That way, the bitmaps will not be reverted to have the value from the failing connection and will have 0, so the next connection will have a good state.

Revert "wifi: mac80211: move radar detect work to sdata"

2024-09-06T11:01:04+00:00

This reverts commit ce9e660ef32e ("wifi: mac80211: move radar detect work to sdata"). To enable radar detection with MLO, it’s essential to handle it on a per-link basis. This is because when using MLO, multiple links may already be active and beaconing. In this scenario, another link should be able to initiate a radar detection. Also, if underlying links are associated with different hardware devices but grouped together for MLO, they could potentially start radar detection simultaneously. Therefore, it makes sense to manage radar detection settings separately for each link by moving them back to a per-link data structure.
