cfg80211: rename offchannel_chain structs to background_chain to avoid confusion with ETSI standard

2021-12-20T09:37:36+00:00

ETSI standard defines "Offchannel CAC" as: "Off-Channel CAC is performed by a number of non-continuous checks spread over a period in time. This period, which is required to determine the presence of radar signals, is defined as the Off-Channel CAC Time.. Minimum Off-Channel CAC Time 6 minutes and Maximum Off-Channel CAC Time 4 hours..". mac80211 implementation refers to a dedicated hw chain used for continuous radar monitoring. Rename offchannel_* references to background_* in order to avoid confusion with ETSI standard.

cfg80211: simplify cfg80211_chandef_valid()

2021-12-20T09:36:24+00:00

There are a lot of duplicate checks in this function to check the delta between the control channel and CF1. With the addition of 320 MHz, this will become even more. Simplify the code so that the common checks are done only once for multiple bandwidths.

cfg80211: allow continuous radar monitoring on offchannel chain

2021-11-26T10:50:27+00:00

Allow continuous radar detection on the offchannel chain in order to switch to the monitored channel whenever the underlying driver reports a radar pattern on the main channel.

cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver

2021-01-26T10:55:50+00:00

Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock contention on that. Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get parallel calls for a single device). Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

cfg80211: only allow S1G channels on S1G band

2020-10-08T08:41:24+00:00

As discovered by syzbot, cfg80211 was accepting S1G channel widths on non-S1G bands. Add a check for this, and consolidate the 1MHz frequency check as it ends up being a subset of the others.

nl80211: support setting S1G channels

2020-09-18T10:31:17+00:00

S1G channels have a single width defined per frequency, so derive it from the channel flags with ieee80211_s1g_channel_width(). Also support setting an S1G channel where control frequency may differ from operating, and add some basic validation to ensure the control channel is with the operating.
