wireless: fix wrong 160/80+80 MHz setting

2020-09-17T11:55:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3579994476b65cb5e272ff0f720a1fd31322e53f ]

Fix cfg80211_chandef_usable():
consider IEEE80211_VHT_CAP_EXT_NSS_BW when verifying 160/80+80 MHz.

Based on:
"Table 9-272 — Setting of the Supported Channel Width Set subfield and Extended NSS BW
Support subfield at a STA transmitting the VHT Capabilities Information field"
From "Draft P802.11REVmd_D3.0.pdf"

cfg80211: treat 6 GHz channels as valid regardless of capability

2020-05-31T09:27:08+00:00

If a 6 GHz channel exists, then we can probably safely assume that
the device actually supports it, and then it should support most
bandwidths.

This will probably need to be extended to check the interface type
and then dig into the HE capabilities for that though, to have the
correct bandwidth check.

cfg80211: reject channels/chandefs with KHz offset >= 1000

2020-04-24T10:38:20+00:00

This should be covered by the next MHz, make sure that the
numbers are always normalized.

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.

nl80211: Disallow setting of HT for channel 14

2019-10-30T09:07:22+00:00

This patch disables setting of HT20 and more for channel 14 because
the channel is only for IEEE 802.11b.

The patch for net/wireless/util.c was unit-tested.

The patch for net/wireless/chan.c was tested with iw command.

Before this patch.
$ sudo iw dev  set channel 14 HT20
$

After this patch.
$ sudo iw dev  set channel 14 HT20
kernel reports: invalid channel definition
command failed: Invalid argument (-22)

nl80211: Add support for EDMG channels

2019-08-21T09:07:35+00:00

802.11ay specification defines Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit
(EDMG) STA and AP which allow channel bonding of 2 channels and more.

Introduce new NL attributes that are needed for enabling and
configuring EDMG support.

Two new attributes are used by kernel to publish driver's EDMG
capabilities to the userspace:
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS - bitmap field that indicates the 2.16
GHz channel(s) that are supported by the driver.
When this attribute is not set it means driver does not support EDMG.
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG - represent the channel bandwidth
configurations supported by the driver.

Additional two new attributes are used by the userspace for connect
command and for AP configuration:
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_CHANNELS
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_BW_CONFIG

New rate info flag - RATE_INFO_FLAGS_EDMG, can be reported from driver
and used for bitrate calculation that will take into account EDMG
according to the 802.11ay specification.

cfg80211: use same IR permissive rules for 6GHz band

2019-08-21T08:54:35+00:00

The function cfg80211_ir_permissive_chan() is applicable for
6GHz band as well so make sure it is handled.

cfg80211: add some missing fall through annotations

2018-12-18T12:15:08+00:00

There are talks about enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings in the
mainline and it is already enabled in linux-next.  Add all the
missing annotations to prevent warnings when this happens.

And in one case, remove the extra text from the annotation so that the
compiler recognizes it.

cfg80211: enable use of non-cleared DFS channels for DFS offload

2018-03-29T08:21:35+00:00

Currently channel switch/start_ap to DFS channel cannot be done to
non-CAC-cleared channel even if DFS offload if enabled.
Make non-cleared DFS channels available if DFS offload is enabled.
CAC will be started by HW after channel change, start_ap call, etc.
