cfg80211: Update Transition Disable policy during port authorization

2022-10-07T13:27:40+00:00

In case of 4way handshake offload, transition disable policy
updated by the AP during EAPOL 3/4 is not updated to the upper layer.
This results in mismatch between transition disable policy
between the upper layer and the driver. This patch addresses this
issue by updating transition disable policy as part of port
authorization indication.

wifi: cfg80211: clean up links appropriately

2022-07-15T09:43:18+00:00

This was missing earlier, we need to remove links when
interfaces are being destroyed, and we also need to
stop (AP) operations when a link is being destroyed.
Address these issues to remove many warnings that will
otherwise appear in mac80211.

wifi: cfg80211: remove BSS pointer from cfg80211_disassoc_request

2022-07-15T09:43:16+00:00

The race described by the comment in mac80211 hasn't existed
since the locking rework to use the same lock and for MLO we
need to pass the AP MLD address, so just pass the BSSID or
AP MLD address instead of the BSS struct pointer, and adjust
all the code accordingly.

wifi: cfg80211: simplify cfg80211_mlme_auth() prototype

2022-06-20T10:55:48+00:00

This function has far too many parameters now, move out
the BSS lookup and pass the request struct instead.

wifi: cfg80211: mlme: get BSS entry outside cfg80211_mlme_assoc()

2022-06-20T10:55:43+00:00

Today it makes more sense to pass the necessary parameters to
look up the BSS entry to cfg80211_mlme_assoc(), but with MLO
we will need to look up multiple, and that gets awkward. Pull
the lookup code into the callers so we can change it better.

wifi: cfg80211: do some rework towards MLO link APIs

2022-06-20T10:54:58+00:00

In order to support multi-link operation with multiple links,
start adding some APIs. The notable addition here is to have
the link ID in a new nl80211 attribute, that will be used to
differentiate the links in many nl80211 operations.

So far, this patch adds the netlink NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINK_ID
attribute (as well as the NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINKS attribute)
and plugs it through the system in some places, checking the
validity etc. along with other infrastructure needed for it.

For now, I've decided to include only the over-the-air link
ID in the API. I know we discussed that we eventually need to
have to have other ways of identifying a link, but for local
AP mode and auth/assoc commands as well as set_key etc. we'll
use the OTA ID.

Also included in this patch is some refactoring of the data
structures in struct wireless_dev, splitting for the first
time the data into type dependent pieces, to make reasoning
about these things easier.

cfg80211: remove cfg80211_get_chan_state()

2022-05-04T10:30:24+00:00

We haven't used this function for years, since commit c781944b71f8
("cfg80211: Remove unused cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan()") which
itself removed a function unused since commit 97dc94f1d933
("cfg80211: remove channel_switch combination check"), almost eight
years ago.

Also remove the now unused enum cfg80211_chan_mode and some struct
members that were only used for this function.

cfg80211: rename offchannel_chain structs to background_chain to avoid confusion with ETSI standard

2021-12-20T09:37:36+00:00

ETSI standard defines "Offchannel CAC" as:
"Off-Channel CAC is performed by a number of non-continuous checks
spread over a period in time. This period, which is required to
determine the presence of radar signals, is defined as the Off-Channel
CAC Time..
Minimum Off-Channel CAC Time 6 minutes and Maximum Off-Channel CAC Time
4 hours..".
mac80211 implementation refers to a dedicated hw chain used for continuous
radar monitoring. Rename offchannel_* references to background_* in
order to avoid confusion with ETSI standard.

cfg80211: move offchan_cac_event to a dedicated work

2021-11-19T08:38:50+00:00

In order to make cfg80211_offchan_cac_abort() (renamed from
cfg80211_offchan_cac_event) callable in other contexts and
without so much locking restrictions, make it trigger a new
work instead of operating directly.

Do some other renames while at it to clarify.

cfg80211: implement APIs for dedicated radar detection HW

2021-11-19T08:38:49+00:00

If a dedicated (off-channel) radar detection hardware (chain)
is available in the hardware/driver, allow this to be used by
calling the NL80211_CMD_RADAR_DETECT command with a new flag
attribute requesting off-channel radar detection is used.

Offchannel CAC (channel availability check) avoids the CAC
downtime when switching to a radar channel or when turning on
the AP.

Drivers advertise support for this using the new feature flag
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_RADAR_OFFCHAN.
