wifi: nl80211: Add a notification to notify NAN channel evacuation

2026-03-25T19:56:55+00:00

If all available channel resources are used for NAN channels, and one of them is shared with another interface, and that interface needs to move to a different channel (for example STA interface that needs to do a channel or a link switch), then the driver can evacuate one of the NAN channels (i.e. detach it from its channel resource and announce to the peers that this channel is ULWed). In that case, the driver needs to notify user space about the channel evacuation, so the user space can adjust the local schedule accordingly. Add a notification to let userspace know about it.

wifi: nl80211: add NL80211_CMD_NAN_ULW_UPDATE notification

2026-03-25T19:56:55+00:00

Add a new notification command that allows drivers to notify user space when the device's ULW (Unaligned Schedule) blob has been updated. This enables user space to attach the updated ULW blob to frames sent to NAN peers.

wifi: nl80211: define an API for configuring the NAN peer's schedule

2026-03-25T19:56:55+00:00

Add an NL80211 command to configure the NAN schedule of a NAN peer. Such a schedule contains a list of NAN channels, and a mapping from each time slots to the corresponding channel (or unscheduled). Also contains more information about the schedule, such as sequence ID and map ID. Not all of the restrictions are validated in this patch. In particular, comparison of two maps of the same peer requires storing/retrieving each map of each peer, only for validation. Therefore, it is the responsibilty of the driver to check that.

wifi: cfg80211: Add an API to configure local NAN schedule

2026-03-25T19:56:05+00:00

Add an nl80211 API to allow user space to configure the local NAN schedule. The local schedule consists of a list of channel definitions and a schedule map, in which each element covers a time slot and indicates on what channel the device should be in that time slot. Channels can be added to schedule even without being scheduled, for reservation purposes. A schedule can be configured either immedietally or be deferred, in case there are already connected peers. When the deferred flag is set, the command is a request from the device to perform an announced schedule update: send the updated NAN Availability - as set in this command - to the peers, and do the actual switch to the new schedule on the right time (i.e. at the end of the slot after the slot in which the update was sent to the peers). In addition, a notification will be sent to indicate a deferred update completion.

wifi: cfg80211: support key installation on non-netdev wdevs

2026-03-02T10:28:33+00:00

Currently key installation is only supported for netdev. For NAN, support most key operations (except setting default data key) on wdevs instead of netdevs, and adjust all the APIs and tracing to match. Since nothing currently sets NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_SECURE_NAN, this doesn't change anything (P2P Device already isn't allowed.)

wifi: nl80211/cfg80211: support stations of non-netdev interfaces

2026-03-02T08:23:03+00:00

Currently, a station can only be added to a netdev interface, mainly because there was no need for a station of a non-netdev interface. But for NAN, we will have stations that belong to the NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN interface. Prepare for adding/changing/deleting a station that belongs to a non-netdev interface. This doesn't actually allow such stations - this will be done in a different patch.

wifi: cfg80211: add support to handle incumbent signal detected event from mac80211/driver

2026-03-02T08:14:54+00:00

When any incumbent signal is detected by an AP/mesh interface operating in 6 GHz band, FCC mandates the AP/mesh to vacate the channels affected by it [1]. Add a new API cfg80211_incumbent_signal_notify() that can be used by mac80211 or drivers to notify the higher layers about the signal interference event with the interference bitmap in which each bit denotes the affected 20 MHz in the operating channel. Add support for the new nl80211 event and nl80211 attribute as well to notify userspace on the details about the interference event. Userspace is expected to process it and take further action - vacate the channel, or reduce the bandwidth.

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: 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.
