wifi: mac80211: pass frame type to element parsing

2025-11-10T09:39:02Z

This will be needed for UHR operation parsing, and we already pass whether or not the frame is an action frame, replace that by the full type. Note this fixes a few cases where 'false' was erroneously passed (mesh and TDLS) and removes ieee802_11_parse_elems_crc() as it's unused.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: remove more 5/10 MHz code

2025-04-23T13:21:32Z

We still have ieee80211_chandef_rate_flags() and all that, but all the users seem pretty much broken (deflink, etc.) Remove all the code. It's been two years since last anyone even vaguely entertained the notion of looking at this and fixing it.

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12Z

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

wifi: mac80211: Remove unused basic_rates variable

2025-01-13T14:26:44Z

The basic_rates variable was passed to mesh_sta_info_init as an out parameter even though the result is not used. Passing NULL instead is safe here, so do that.

wifi: mac80211: call rate_control_rate_update() for link STA

2024-10-23T14:43:27Z

In order to update the right link information, call the update rate_control_rate_update() with the right link_sta, and then pass that through to the driver's sta_rc_update() method. The software rate control still doesn't support it, but that'll be skipped by not having a rate control ref. Since it now operates on a link sta, rename the driver method.

wifi: mac80211: allow rate_control_rate_init() for links

2024-10-23T14:43:23Z

Andrei previously fixed an issue in the client where the NSS for links other than the primary/assoc/deflink isn't set. The same issue appears to exist on the AP side, because there's only a call to rate_control_rate_init() for the deflink, and not any other links. Rework the code a bit to do rate_control_rate_init() for links, even if it really doesn't work with software rate control yet, it does other things as well. Also add rate_control_rate_init_all_links() to actually do it properly when moving to ASSOC state in cfg80211. Change the explicit call to ieee80211_sta_init_nss() to instead be rate_control_rate_init() now in the client code, but also add a call to rate_control_rate_init() when a link is added in AP mode and the STA is already associated. This should fix the NSS initialization issue, and perhaps pave the way for actual software rate scaling a bit, in case anyone cares in the future, but that of course needs a lot more than just the init call. We still need to fix the rate control _update_ as well, and the sta_rc_update() driver method especially, but that will be in a different patch.
