wifi: cfg80211: add cfg80211_stop_link() for per-link teardown

2026-01-08T12:11:01+00:00

Currently, whenever cfg80211_stop_iface() is called, the entire iface is stopped. However, there could be a need in AP/P2P_GO mode, where one would like to stop a single link in MLO operation instead of the whole MLD interface. Hence, introduce cfg80211_stop_link() to allow drivers to tear down only a specified AP/P2P_GO link during MLO operation. Passing -1 preserves the existing behavior of stopping the whole interface. Make cfg80211_stop_iface() call this function by passing -1 to keep the default behavior the same, that is, to stop all links and use cfg80211_stop_link() with the desired link_id for AP/P2P_GO mode, to stop only that link. This brings no behavioral change for single-link/non-MLO interfaces, and enables drivers to stop an AP/P2P_GO link without disrupting other links on the same interface.

wifi: cfg80211: stop radar detection in cfg80211_leave()

2025-11-24T12:05:23+00:00

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.

This information is exposed to userspace but not drivers. Make this field public so that drivers are also able to access it. The information is for example useful for link selection to determine whether the BSS corresponding to an MLO link has been seen in a recent scan.

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.
