wifi: cfg80211: skip indicating signal for per-STA profile BSSs

2024-09-06T10:56:33+00:00

Currently signal of the BSS entry generated from the per-STA profile
indicated as zero, but userspace may consider it as high signal
strength since 0 dBm is a valid RSSI value.

To avoid this don't report the signal to userspace when the BSS entry
created from a per-STA profile.

wifi: cfg80211: make BSS source types public

2024-09-06T10:56:33+00:00

Define public enum with BSS source types in core.h. Upcoming patches
need this to store BSS source type in struct cfg80211_internal_bss.

wifi: cfg80211: refactor 6 GHz AP power type parsing

2024-06-12T11:04:25+00:00

Add cfg80211_get_6ghz_power_type() to parse the 6 GHz
power type from a given set of elements, which is now
only inside cfg80211_6ghz_power_type_valid().

wifi: mac80211: refactor channel checks

2024-06-12T11:04:25+00:00

To later introduce an override for VLP APs being allowed despite
NO-IR flags, which is somewhat similar in construction to being
allowed to monitor on disabled channels, refactor the code that
checks channel flags to have not a 'monitor' argument but a set
of 'permitting' flags that permit the operation without checking
for 'prohibited' flags.

wifi: cfg80211: optionally support monitor on disabled channels

2024-02-12T20:22:48+00:00

If the hardware supports a disabled channel, it may in
some cases be possible to use monitor mode (without any
transmit) on it when it's otherwise disabled. Add a new
channel flag IEEE80211_CHAN_CAN_MONITOR that makes it
possible for a driver to indicate such a thing.

Make it per channel so drivers could have a choice with
it, perhaps it's only possible on some channels, perhaps
some channels are not supported at all, but still there
and marked disabled.

In _nl80211_parse_chandef() simplify the code and check
only for an unknown channel, _cfg80211_chandef_usable()
will later check for IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED anyway.

wifi: cfg80211: add a kunit test for 6 GHz colocated AP parsing

2024-02-02T13:15:11+00:00

Test a few things around parsing of 6 GHz colocated APs to e.g. ensure
that we are not going to scan for a disabled (affiliated) AP.
