wifi: cfg80211: wext: fix IGTK key ID off-by-one

2026-03-04T12:20:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit c8d7f21ead727485ebf965e2b4d42d4a4f0840f6 ] The IGTK key ID must be 4 or 5, but the code checks against key ID + 1, so must check against 5/6 rather than 4/5. Fix that.

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: send MLO links tx power info in GET_INTERFACE

2024-12-04T15:14:46+00:00

Currently, TX power is reported on interface/wdev level as part of NL80211_CMD_GET_INTERFACE. With MLO, Multiple links can be part of an interface/wdev and hence its necessary to report the TX power of each link. Add support to send tx power for all valid links of an MLD as part of NL80211_CMD_GET_INTERFACE request. As far as userspace is concerned, there is no behavioral change for Non-ML Interfaces. For ML interfaces, userspace should fetch TX power that is nested inside NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINKS, similar to how channel info(NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ) is fetched.

wifi: cfg80211: define and use wiphy guard

2024-12-04T15:10:52+00:00

Define a guard for the wiphy mutex, and use it in most code in cfg80211, though not all due to some interaction with RTNL and/or indentation.
