wifi: cfg80211: stop radar detection in cfg80211_leave()

2026-01-08T09:13:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9f33477b9a31a1edfe2df9f1a0359cccb0e16b4c ] If an interface is set down or, per the previous patch, changes type, radar detection for it should be cancelled. This is done for AP mode in mac80211 (somewhat needlessly, since cfg80211 can do it, but didn't until now), but wasn't handled for mesh, so if radar detection was started and then the interface set down or its type switched (the latter sometimes happning in the hwsim test 'mesh_peer_connected_dfs'), radar detection would be around with the interface unknown to the driver, later leading to some warnings around chanctx usage.

wifi: cfg80211: skip indicating signal for per-STA profile BSSs

2024-09-06T10:56:33+00:00

Currently signal of the BSS entry generated from the per-STA profile indicated as zero, but userspace may consider it as high signal strength since 0 dBm is a valid RSSI value. To avoid this don't report the signal to userspace when the BSS entry created from a per-STA profile.

wifi: cfg80211: refactor 6 GHz AP power type parsing

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

Add cfg80211_get_6ghz_power_type() to parse the 6 GHz power type from a given set of elements, which is now only inside cfg80211_6ghz_power_type_valid().

wifi: mac80211: refactor channel checks

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

To later introduce an override for VLP APs being allowed despite NO-IR flags, which is somewhat similar in construction to being allowed to monitor on disabled channels, refactor the code that checks channel flags to have not a 'monitor' argument but a set of 'permitting' flags that permit the operation without checking for 'prohibited' flags.

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.
