cfg80211: Adjust 6 GHz frequency to channel conversion

Adjust the 6 GHz frequency to channel conversion function, the other way around was previously handled. Signed-off-by: Amar Singhal Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1592599921-10607-1-git-send-email-asinghal@codeaurora.org [rewrite commit message, hard-code channel 2] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary fall-through markings when it is the case.

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

2020-08-07T18:33:22+00:00

As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

My previous commit here was wrong, it didn't check the new flag in two necessary places, so things didn't work. Fix that.

cfg80211: adapt to new channelization of the 6GHz band

2020-05-31T09:26:03+00:00

The 6GHz band does not have regulatory approval yet, but things are moving forward. However, that has led to a change in the channelization of the 6GHz band which has been accepted in the 11ax specification. It also fixes a missing MHZ_TO_KHZ() macro for 6GHz channels while at it. This change is primarily thrown in to discuss how to deal with it. I noticed ath11k adding 6G support with old channelization and ditto for iw. It probably involves changes in hostapd as well.

cfg80211: fix 6 GHz frequencies to kHz

2020-05-31T09:25:59+00:00

The updates to change to kHz frequencies and the 6 GHz additions evidently overlapped (or rather, I didn't see it when applying the latter), so the 6 GHz is broken. Fix this.

cfg80211: express channels with a KHz component

2020-04-24T10:33:43+00:00

Some bands (S1G) define channels centered on a non-integer MHz. Give ieee80211_channel and cfg80211_chan_def a freq_offset component where the final frequency can be expressed as: MHZ_TO_KHZ(chan->center_freq) + chan->freq_offset; Also provide some helper functions to do the frequency conversion and test for equality. Retain the existing interface to frequency and channel conversion helpers, and expose new ones which handle frequencies in units of KHz. Some internal functions (net/wireless/chan.c) pass around a frequency value. Convert these to units of KHz. mesh, ibss, wext, etc. are currently ignored.
