wifi: mac80211: collect station statistics earlier when disconnect

2026-02-11T12:41:50Z

[ Upstream commit a203dbeeca15a9b924f0d51f510921f4bae96801 ] In __sta_info_destroy_part2(), station statistics are requested after the IEEE80211_STA_NONE -> IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST transition. This is problematic because the driver may be unable to handle the request due to the STA being in the NOTEXIST state (i.e. if the driver destroys the underlying data when transitioning to NOTEXIST). Move the statistics collection to before the state transition to avoid this issue.

wifi: mac80211: Remove redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock() in spin_lock

2025-09-19T09:48:14Z

Since commit a8bb74acd8efe ("rcu: Consolidate RCU-sched update-side function definitions") there is no difference between rcu_read_lock(), rcu_read_lock_bh() and rcu_read_lock_sched() in terms of RCU read section and the relevant grace period. That means that spin_lock(), which implies rcu_read_lock_sched(), also implies rcu_read_lock(). There is no need no explicitly start a RCU read section if one has already been started implicitly by spin_lock(). Simplify the code and remove the inner rcu_read_lock() invocation.

wifi: mac80211: fix reporting of all valid links in sta_set_sinfo()

2025-09-10T08:46:34Z

Currently, sta_set_sinfo() fails to populate link-level station info when sinfo->valid_links is initially 0 and sta->sta.valid_links has bits set for links other than link 0. This typically occurs when association happens on a non-zero link or link 0 deleted dynamically. In such cases, the for_each_valid_link(sinfo, link_id) loop only executes for link 0 and terminates early, since sinfo->valid_links remains 0. As a result, only MLD-level information is reported to userspace. Hence to fix, initialize sinfo->valid_links with sta->sta.valid_links before entering the loop to ensure loop executes for each valid link. During iteration, mask out invalid links from sinfo->valid_links if any of sta->link[link_id], sdata->link[link_id], or sinfo->links[link_id] are not present, to report only valid link information.

wifi: mac80211: add link_sta_statistics ops to fill link station statistics

2025-06-24T13:19:27Z

Currently, link station statistics for MLO are filled by mac80211. But there are some statistics that kept by mac80211 might not be accurate, so let the driver pre-fill the link statistics. The driver can fill the values (indicating which field is filled, by setting the filled bitmapin in link_station structure). Statistics that driver don't fill are filled by mac80211. Hence, add link_sta_statistics callback to fill link station statistics for MLO in sta_set_link_sinfo() by drivers.

wifi: mac80211: extend support to fill link level sinfo structure

2025-06-24T13:19:26Z

Currently, sinfo structure is supported to fill information at deflink( or one of the links) level for station. This has problems when applied to fetch multi-link(ML) station information. Hence, if valid_links are present, support filling link_station structure for each link. This will be helpful to check the link related statistics during MLO. Additionally, TXQ stats for pertid are applicable at station level not at link level. Therefore check link_id is less then 0, before filling TXQ stats in pertid stats.

wifi: mac80211: add support to accumulate removed link statistics

2025-06-24T13:19:26Z

Currently, if a link gets removed in between for a station then directly accumulated data will fall down to sum of other active links. This will bring inconsistency in station dump statistics. For instance, let's take Tx packets - at t=0-> link-0:2 link-1:3 Tx packets => accumulated = 5 - at t=1-> link-0:4 link-1:6 Tx packets => accumulated = 10 let say at t=2, link-0 went down => link-0:0 link-1:7 => accumulated = 7 Here, suddenly accumulated Tx packets will come down to 7 from 10. This is showing inconsistency. Therefore, store link-0 data when it went down and add to accumulated Tx packet = 11. Hence, store the removed link statistics data in sta structure and add it in accumulated statistics for consistency.

wifi: mac80211: add support towards MLO handling of station statistics

2025-06-24T13:19:26Z

Currently, in supporting API's to fill sinfo structure from sta structure, is mapped to fill the fields from sta->deflink. However, for multi-link (ML) station, sinfo structure should be filled from corresponding link_id. Therefore, add link_id as an additional argument in supporting API's for filling sinfo structure correctly. Link_id is set to -1 for non-ML station and corresponding link_id for ML stations. In supporting API's for filling sinfo structure, check for link_id, if link_id < 0, fill the sinfo structure from sta->deflink, otherwise fill from sta->link[link_id]. Current, changes are done at the deflink level i.e, pass -1 as link_id. Actual link_id will be added in subsequent patches to support station statistics for MLO.
