wifi: cfg80211: Add KHZ_PER_GHZ to units.h and reuse

2024-02-21T14:19:03+00:00

The KHZ_PER_GHZ might be used by others (with the name aligned
with similar constants). Define it in units.h and convert
wireless to use it.

wifi: cfg80211: rename UHB to 6 GHz

2024-02-12T20:22:46+00:00

UHB stands for "Ultra High Band", but this term doesn't really
exist in the spec. Rename all occurrences to "6 GHz", but keep
a few defines for userspace API compatibility.

wifi: cfg80211: handle UHB AP and STA power type

2023-12-21T19:35:14+00:00

UHB AP send supported power type(LPI, SP, VLP)
in beacon and probe response IE and STA should
connect to these AP only if their regulatory support
the AP power type.

Beacon/Probe response are reported to userspace
with reason "STA regulatory not supporting to connect to AP
based on transmitted power type" and it should
not connect to AP.

wifi: cfg80211: Schedule regulatory check on BSS STA channel change

2023-12-21T19:35:14+00:00

Due to different relaxation policies it may be needed to re-check
channels after a BSS station interface is disconnected or performed a
channel switch.

wifi: cfg80211: reg: Support P2P operation on DFS channels

2023-12-21T19:35:14+00:00

FCC-594280 D01 Section B.3 allows peer-to-peer and ad hoc devices to
operate on DFS channels while they operate under the control of a
concurrent DFS master. For example, it is possible to have a P2P GO on a
DFS channel as long as BSS connection is active on the same channel.
Allow such operation by adding additional regulatory flags to indicate
DFS concurrent channels and capable devices. Add the required
relaxations in DFS regulatory checks.

wifi: cfg80211: save power spectral density(psd) of regulatory rule

2023-09-18T07:44:05+00:00

6 GHz regulatory domains introduces Power Spectral Density (PSD).
The PSD value of the regulatory rule should be taken into effect
for the ieee80211_channels falling into that particular regulatory
rule. Save the values in the channel which has PSD value and add
nl80211 attributes accordingly to handle it.

wifi: cfg80211: call reg_call_notifier on beacon hints

2023-09-13T10:34:01+00:00

Currently the channel property updates are not propagated to
driver. This causes issues in the discovery of hidden SSIDs and
fails to connect to them.
This change defines a new wiphy flag which when enabled by vendor
driver, the reg_call_notifier callback will be trigger on beacon
hints. This ensures that the channel property changes are visible
to the vendor driver. The vendor changes the channels for active
scans. This fixes the discovery issue of hidden SSID.

wifi: cfg80211: allow reg update by driver even if wiphy->regd is set

2023-09-13T10:34:01+00:00

Currently regulatory update by driver is not allowed when the
wiphy->regd is already set and drivers_request->intersect is false.

During wiphy registration, some drivers (ath10k does this currently)
first register the world regulatory to cfg80211 using
wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). The driver then obtain the current
operating country and tries to update the correct regulatory to
cfg80211 using regulatory_hint().

But at this point, wiphy->regd is already set to world regulatory.
Also, since this is the first request from driver after the world
regulatory is set this will result in drivers_request->intersect
set to false. In this condition the driver request regulatory is not
allowed to update to cfg80211 in reg_set_rd_driver(). This restricts
the device operation to the world regulatory.

This driver request to update the regulatory with current operating
country is valid and should be updated to cfg80211. Hence allow
regulatory update by driver even if the wiphy->regd is already set
and driver_request->intersect is false.

wifi: cfg80211: remove wdev mutex

2023-09-11T09:27:23+00:00

Since we're now protecting everything with the wiphy mutex
(and were really using it for almost everything before),
there's no longer any real reason to have a separate wdev
mutex. It may feel better, but really has no value.
