wifi: cfg80211: expose update timestamp to drivers

2025-02-26T14:48:54+00:00

This information is exposed to userspace but not drivers. Make this
field public so that drivers are also able to access it. The information
is for example useful for link selection to determine whether the BSS
corresponding to an MLO link has been seen in a recent scan.

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.

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.
