wifi: cfg80211: add an hrtimer based delayed work item

2025-10-28T13:56:30+00:00

The normal timer mechanism assume that timeout further in the future need a lower accuracy. As an example, the granularity for a timer scheduled 4096 ms in the future on a 1000 Hz system is already 512 ms. This granularity is perfectly sufficient for e.g. timeouts, but there are other types of events that will happen at a future point in time and require a higher accuracy. Add a new wiphy_hrtimer_work type that uses an hrtimer internally. The API is almost identical to the existing wiphy_delayed_work and it can be used as a drop-in replacement after minor adjustments. The work will be scheduled relative to the current time with a slack of 1 millisecond.

wifi: cfg80211: Add cluster joined notification APIs

2025-09-19T09:26:21+00:00

The drivers should notify upper layers and user space when a NAN device joins a cluster. This is needed, for example, to set the correct addr3 in SDF frames. Add API to report cluster join event.

wifi: nl80211: Add NAN Discovery Window (DW) notification

2025-09-19T09:26:21+00:00

This notification will be used by the device to inform user space about upcoming DW. When received, user space will be able to prepare multicast Service Discovery Frames (SDFs) to be transmitted during the next DW using %NL80211_CMD_FRAME command on the NAN management interface. The device/driver will take care to transmit the frames in the correct timing. This allows to implement a synchronized Discovery Engine (DE) in user space, if the device doesn't support DE offload. Note that this notification can be sent before the actual DW starts as long as the driver/device handles the actual timing of the SDF transmission.

wifi: cfg80211: Remove unused tracepoints

2025-09-03T07:58:17+00:00

Tracepoints that are defined take up around 5K each, even if they are not used. If they are defined and not used, then they waste memory for unused code. Soon unused tracepoints will cause warnings. Remove the unused tracepoints of the cfg80211 subsystem.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: report link ID for unexpected frames

2025-07-21T17:40:59+00:00

The upper layer may require the link ID to properly handle unexpected frames. For instance, if hostapd, operating as an AP MLD, receives a data frame from a non-associated STA, it must send deauthentication to the link on which the STA is operating.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: Add support to get radio index

2025-06-24T13:19:27+00:00

Currently, per-radio attributes are set on per-phy basis, i.e., all the radios present in a wiphy will take attributes values sent from user. But each radio in a wiphy can get different values from userspace based on its requirement. To extend support to set per-radio attributes, add support to get radio index from userspace. Add an NL attribute - NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RADIO_INDEX, to get user specified radio index for which attributes should be changed. Pass this to individual drivers, so that the drivers can use this radio index to change per-radio attributes when necessary. Currently, per-radio attributes identified are: NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_RX NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_SHORT NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_LONG NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FRAG_THRESHOLD NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RTS_THRESHOLD NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_LIMIT NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_MEMORY_LIMIT NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM By default, the radio index is set to -1. This means the attribute should be treated as a global configuration. If the user has not specified any index, then the radio index passed to individual drivers would be -1. This would indicate that the attribute applies to all radios in that wiphy.

wifi: cfg80211: Add support for link reconfiguration negotiation offload to driver

2025-06-20T08:46:31+00:00

In the case of SME-in-driver, the driver can internally choose to update the links based on the AP MLD recommendation and do link reconfiguration negotiation with AP MLD. (e.g., After the driver processing the BSS Transition Management request frame received from the AP MLD with Neighbor Report containing Multi-Link element with recommended links information chooses to do link reconfiguration negotiation with AP MLD). To support this, extend cfg80211_mlo_reconf_add_done() and NL80211_CMD_ASSOC_MLO_RECONF to indicate added links information for driver-initiated link reconfiguration requests. For removed links, the driver indicates links information using the NL80211_CMD_LINKS_REMOVED event for driver-initiated cases, the same as supplicant initiated cases. For the driver-initiated case, cfg80211 will receive link reconfiguration result asynchronously from driver so holding BSSes of the accepted add links is needed in the event path. Also, no need of unhold call for the rejected add link BSSes since there was no hold call happened previously. Once the supplicant receives the NL80211_CMD_ASSOC_MLO_RECONF event, it needs to process the information about newly added links and install per-link group keys (e.g., GTK/IGTK/BIGTK etc.). In case of the SME-in-driver, using a vendor interface etc. to notify the supplicant to initiate a link reconfiguration request and then supplicant sending command to the cfg80211 can lead to race conditions. The correct design to avoid this is that the driver indicates the cfg80211 directly with the results of the link reconfiguration negotiation.
