linux-stable.git/net/wireless/core.c, branch v6.18 Linux kernel stable tree wifi: cfg80211: add an hrtimer based delayed work item 2025-10-28T13:56:30+00:00 Benjamin Berg benjamin.berg@intel.com 2025-10-28T10:58:37+00:00 7ceba45a6658ce637da334cd0ebf27f4ede6c0fe 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: nl80211: allow drivers to support subset of NL80211_CMD_SET_BSS 2025-09-04T09:19:02+00:00 Arend van Spriel arend.vanspriel@broadcom.com 2025-08-17T19:04:32+00:00 24185534915b5d926ded098336f47bdcca333aec The so-called fullmac devices rely on firmware functionality and/or API to change BSS parameters. Today there are limited drivers supporting the nl80211 primitive, but they only handle a subset of the bss parameters passed if any. The mac80211 driver does handle all parameters and stores their configured values. Some of the BSS parameters were already conditional by wiphy->features. For these the wiphy->bss_param_support and wiphy->features fields are silently aligned in wiphy_register(). Maybe better to issue a warning instead when they are misaligned.
