nl80211: allow multiple active scheduled scan requests 2017-04-26T21:17:38+00:00 Arend Van Spriel arend.vanspriel@broadcom.com 2017-04-21T12:05:00+00:00 ca986ad9bcd3893c8b0b4cc2cafcc8cf1554409c This patch implements the idea to have multiple scheduled scan requests running concurrently. It mainly illustrates how to deal with the incoming request from user-space in terms of backward compatibility. In order to use multiple scheduled scans user-space needs to provide a flag attribute NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MULTI to indicate support. If not the request is treated as a legacy scan. Drivers currently supporting scheduled scan are now indicating they support a single scheduled scan request. This obsoletes WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN.

For non-ETSI DFS domain, this patch gives a grace period of 2 seconds since the completion of successful CAC before moving the channel's DFS state to 'usable' from 'available' state. The same grace period is checked against the channel's dfs_state_entered timestamp while deciding if a DFS channel is available for operation. There is a new radar event, NL80211_RADAR_PRE_CAC_EXPIRED, reported when DFS channel is moved from available to usable state after the grace period. Also make sure the DFS channel state is reset to usable once the beaconing operation on that channel is brought down (like stop_ap, leave_ibss and leave_mesh) in non-ETSI domain.

cfg80211: Accept multiple RSSI thresholds for CQM 2017-03-06T08:21:38+00:00 Andrew Zaborowski andrew.zaborowski@intel.com 2017-02-10T09:02:31+00:00 4a4b8169501b18c3450ac735a7e277b24886a651 Change the SET CQM command's RSSI threshold attribute to accept any number of thresholds as a sorted array. The API should be backwards compatible so that if one s32 threshold value is passed, the old mechanism is enabled. The netlink event generated is the same in both cases. cfg80211 handles an arbitrary number of RSSI thresholds but drivers have to provide a method (set_cqm_rssi_range_config) that configures a range set by a high and a low value. Drivers have to call back when the RSSI goes out of that range and there's no additional event for each time the range is reconfigured as there was with the current one-threshold API. This method doesn't have a hysteresis parameter because there's no benefit to the cfg80211 code from having the hysteresis be handled by hardware/driver in terms of the number of wakeups. At the same time it would likely be less consistent between drivers if offloaded or done in the drivers.
