wifi: cfg80211/nl80211: move rx management data into a struct

2022-07-22T12:28:26+00:00

The functions for reporting rx management take many arguments. Collect all the arguments into a struct, which also make it easier to add more arguments if needed. Signed-off-by: Avraham Stern Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: remove stray printk

2022-07-15T13:05:35+00:00

Unfortunately, a printk snuck into a previous patch, remove it. Fixes: 81151ce462e5 ("wifi: mac80211: support MLO authentication/association with one link") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: support MLO authentication/association with one link

2022-07-15T09:43:24+00:00

It might seem a bit pointless to do a multi-link operation connection with just a single link, but this is already a big change, so for now, limit MLO connections to a single link. Extending that to multiple links will require * work on parsing the multi-link element with STA profile properly, including element fragmentation; * checking the per-link status in the multi-link element * implementing logic to have active/inactive links to let drivers decide which links should be active; * implementing multicast RX deduplication; * and likely more. For now this is still useful since it lets us do multi-link connections for the purposes of testing APIs and the higher layers such as wpa_supplicant. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: cfg80211: extend cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp() for MLO

2022-07-15T09:43:17+00:00

Extend the cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp() to cover multiple BSSes, the AP MLD address and local link addresses for MLO. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: cfg80211: put cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp() arguments into a struct

2022-07-15T09:43:17+00:00

For MLO we'll need a lot more arguments, including all the BSS pointers and link addresses, so move the data to a struct to be able to extend it more easily later. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: cfg80211: prepare association failure APIs for MLO

2022-07-15T09:43:16+00:00

For MLO, we need the ability to report back multiple BSS structures to release, as well as the AP MLD address (if attempting to make an MLO connection). Unify cfg80211_assoc_timeout() and cfg80211_abandon_assoc() into a new cfg80211_assoc_failure() that gets a structure parameter with the necessary data. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: cfg80211: remove BSS pointer from cfg80211_disassoc_request

2022-07-15T09:43:16+00:00

The race described by the comment in mac80211 hasn't existed since the locking rework to use the same lock and for MLO we need to pass the AP MLD address, so just pass the BSSID or AP MLD address instead of the BSS struct pointer, and adjust all the code accordingly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: cfg80211: Allow MLO TX with link source address

2022-07-15T09:43:12+00:00

Management frames are transmitted from link address and not device address. Allow that. Signed-off-by: Andrei Otcheretianski Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: cfg80211: fix a comment in cfg80211_mlme_mgmt_tx()

2022-07-11T08:19:54+00:00

A comment in cfg80211_mlme_mgmt_tx() is describing this API used only for transmitting action frames. Fix the comment since cfg80211_mlme_mgmt_tx() can be used to transmit any management frame.

wifi: cfg80211: remove chandef check in cfg80211_cac_event()

2022-07-01T10:05:48+00:00

The current check only worked for AP mode, but we can do radar detection in mesh as well (for example). We could try to check this using wdev_chandef(), but we also don't really care since the chandef is passed in and we have no need to use it anymore (since we added the argument in commit d2859df5e7f0 ("cfg80211/mac80211: DFS setup chandef for cac event")).
