wifi: mac80211: remove TDLS peers on link deactivation

2024-03-04T13:34:05Z

If a link is deactivated, we really cannot sustain any TDLS connections on that link any more. With the API now changed, fix this issue and remove TDLS connections.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: move puncturing into chandef

2024-02-08T14:00:39Z

Aloka originally suggested that puncturing should be part of the chandef, so that it's treated correctly. At the time, I disagreed and it ended up not part of the chandef, but I've now realized that this was wrong. Even for clients, the RX, and perhaps more importantly, CCA configuration needs to take puncturing into account. Move puncturing into the chandef, and adjust all the code accordingly. Also add a few tests for puncturing in chandef compatibility checking.

wifi: mac80211: introduce 'channel request'

2024-02-08T12:07:34Z

For channel contexts, mac80211 currently uses the cfg80211 chandef struct (control channel, center freq(s), width) to define towards drivers and internally how these behave. In fact, there are _two_ such structs used, where the min_def can reduce bandwidth according to the stations connected. Unfortunately, with EHT this is longer be sufficient, at least not for all hardware. EHT requires that non-AP STAs that are connected to an AP with a lower bandwidth than it (the AP) advertises (e.g. 160 MHz STA connected to 320 MHz AP) still be able to receive downlink OFDMA and respond to trigger frames for uplink OFDMA that specify the position and bandwidth for the non-AP STA relative to the channel the AP is using. Therefore, they need to be aware of this, and at least for some hardware (e.g. Intel) this awareness is in the hardware. As a result, use of the "same" channel may need to be split over two channel contexts where they differ by the AP being used. As a first step, introduce a concept of a channel request ('chanreq') for each interface, to control the context it requests. This step does nothing but reorganise the code, so that later the AP's chandef can be added to the request in order to handle the EHT case described above.

wifi: mac80211: don't allow deactivation of all links

2024-02-02T13:20:43Z

The set_active_links API is intended for link switching, so switching to no links at all is not supported. Add a warning to check that. Signed-off-by: Miri Korenblit Link: https://msgid.link/20240129200054.e3c113f94508.Ia35f927f914bf98dd8f9350dd4f78b1d901b1c1d@changeid Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: add a driver callback to check active_links

2023-12-21T19:35:15Z

During ieee80211_set_active_links() we do (among the others): 1. Call drv_change_vif_links() with both old_active and new_active 2. Unassign the chanctx for the removed link(s) (if any) 3. Assign chanctx to the added link(s) (if any) 4. Call drv_change_vif_links() with the new_active links bitmap The problem here is that during step #1 the driver doesn't know whether we will activate multiple links simultaneously or are just doing a link switch, so it can't check there if multiple links are supported/enabled. (Some of the drivers might enable/disable this option dynamically) And during step #3, in which the driver already knows that, returning an error code (for example when multiple links are not supported or disabled), will cause a warning, and we will still complete the transition to the new_active links. (It is hard to undo things in that stage, since we released channels etc.) Therefore add a driver callback to check if the desired new_active links will be supported by the driver or not. This callback will be called in the beginning of ieee80211_set_active_links() so we won't do anything before we are sure it is supported.

wifi: mac80211: Fix setting vif links

2023-10-23T09:43:28Z

When setting the interface links, ignore the change iff both the valid links and the dormant links did not change. This is needed to support cases where the valid links didn't change but the dormant links did.

wifi: mac80211: handle debugfs when switching to/from MLO

2023-10-23T09:43:26Z

In MLO, we have a per-link debugfs directory which contains the per-link files. In case of non-MLO we would like to put the per-link files in the netdev directory to keep it how it was before MLO. - Upon interface creation the netdev will be created with the per-link files in it. - Upon switching to MLO: delete the entire netdev directory and then recreate it without the per-link files. Then the per-link directories with the per-link files in it will be created in ieee80211_link_init() - Upon switching to non-MLO: delete the entire netdev directory (including the per-link directories) and recreate it with the per-link files in it. Note that this also aligns to always call the vif link debugfs method for the deflink as promised in the documentation, which wasn't done before.

wifi: cfg80211: remove wdev mutex

2023-09-11T09:27:23Z

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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

We now hold the wiphy mutex everywhere that we use or needed the local->mtx, so we don't need this mutex any more. Remove it. Most of this change was done automatically with spatch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
