Miri KorenblitandJohannes Berg 154b0296c0 wifi: nl80211: Add a notification to notify NAN channel evacuation
If all available channel resources are used for NAN channels, and one of
them is shared with another interface, and that interface needs to move
to a different channel (for example STA interface that needs to do a
channel or a link switch), then the driver can evacuate one of the NAN
channels (i.e. detach it from its channel resource and announce to the
peers that this channel is ULWed). In that case, the driver needs to
notify user space about the channel evacuation, so the user space can
adjust the local schedule accordingly.

Add a notification to let userspace know about it.

Miri KorenblitandJohannes Berg c4aa273ff6 wifi: nl80211: define an API for configuring the NAN peer's schedule
Add an NL80211 command to configure the NAN schedule of a NAN peer.
Such a schedule contains a list of NAN channels, and a mapping from each
time slots to the corresponding channel (or unscheduled).
Also contains more information about the schedule, such as sequence ID
and map ID.

Not all of the restrictions are validated in this patch. In particular,
comparison of two maps of the same peer requires storing/retrieving each
map of each peer, only for validation.
Therefore, it is the responsibilty of the driver to check that.

Miri KorenblitandJohannes Berg 6e78b70c9a wifi: cfg80211: Add an API to configure local NAN schedule
Add an nl80211 API to allow user space to configure the local NAN
schedule.
The local schedule consists of a list of channel definitions and a schedule
map, in which each element covers a time slot and indicates on what
channel the device should be in that time slot.

Channels can be added to schedule even without being scheduled, for
reservation purposes.

A schedule can be configured either immedietally or be deferred, in case
there are already connected peers.
When the deferred flag is set, the command is a request from the device
to perform an announced schedule update: send the updated NAN
Availability - as set in this command - to the peers, and do the
actual switch to the new schedule on the right time (i.e. at the end of
the slot after the slot in which the update was sent to the peers).
In addition, a notification will be sent to indicate a deferred update
completion.

When any incumbent signal is detected by an AP/mesh interface operating
in 6 GHz band, FCC mandates the AP/mesh to vacate the channels affected
by it [1].

Add a new API cfg80211_incumbent_signal_notify() that can be used
by mac80211 or drivers to notify the higher layers about the signal
interference event with the interference bitmap in which each bit
denotes the affected 20 MHz in the operating channel.

Add support for the new nl80211 event and nl80211 attribute as well to
notify userspace on the details about the interference event. Userspace is
expected to process it and take further action - vacate the channel, or
reduce the bandwidth.

Manish DharanenthiranandJohannes Berg dc4b176cce wifi: cfg80211: add cfg80211_stop_link() for per-link teardown
Currently, whenever cfg80211_stop_iface() is called, the entire iface
is stopped. However, there could be a need in AP/P2P_GO mode, where
one would like to stop a single link in MLO operation instead of the
whole MLD interface.

Hence, introduce cfg80211_stop_link() to allow drivers to tear down
only a specified AP/P2P_GO link during MLO operation. Passing -1
preserves the existing behavior of stopping the whole interface. Make
cfg80211_stop_iface() call this function by passing -1 to keep the
default behavior the same, that is, to stop all links and use
cfg80211_stop_link() with the desired link_id for AP/P2P_GO mode, to
stop only that link.

This brings no behavioral change for single-link/non-MLO interfaces,
and enables drivers to stop an AP/P2P_GO link without disrupting other
links on the same interface.

Benjamin BergandJohannes Berg 7ceba45a66 wifi: cfg80211: add an hrtimer based delayed work item
The normal timer mechanism assume that timeout further in the future
need a lower accuracy. As an example, the granularity for a timer
scheduled 4096 ms in the future on a 1000 Hz system is already 512 ms.
This granularity is perfectly sufficient for e.g. timeouts, but there
are other types of events that will happen at a future point in time and
require a higher accuracy.

Add a new wiphy_hrtimer_work type that uses an hrtimer internally. The
API is almost identical to the existing wiphy_delayed_work and it can be
used as a drop-in replacement after minor adjustments. The work will be
scheduled relative to the current time with a slack of 1 millisecond.

multicast Service Discovery Frames (SDFs) to be transmitted during the
next DW using %NL80211_CMD_FRAME command on the NAN management interface.
The device/driver will take care to transmit the frames in the correct

in user space, if the device doesn't support DE offload.
Note that this notification can be sent before the actual DW starts as
long as the driver/device handles the actual timing of the SDF
transmission.

Roopni DevanathanandJohannes Berg b74947b4f6 wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: Add support to get radio index
Currently, per-radio attributes are set on per-phy basis, i.e., all the
radios present in a wiphy will take attributes values sent from user. But
each radio in a wiphy can get different values from userspace based on
its requirement.

To extend support to set per-radio attributes, add support to get radio
index from userspace. Add an NL attribute - NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RADIO_INDEX,
to get user specified radio index for which attributes should be changed.
Pass this to individual drivers, so that the drivers can use this radio
index to change per-radio attributes when necessary. Currently, per-radio
attributes identified are:
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_RX
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_SHORT
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_LONG
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FRAG_THRESHOLD
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RTS_THRESHOLD
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_LIMIT
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_MEMORY_LIMIT
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM

By default, the radio index is set to -1. This means the attribute should
be treated as a global configuration. If the user has not specified any
index, then the radio index passed to individual drivers would be -1. This
would indicate that the attribute applies to all radios in that wiphy.

Kavita KavitaandJohannes Berg 7c598c653a wifi: cfg80211: Add support for link reconfiguration negotiation offload to driver
In the case of SME-in-driver, the driver can internally choose to
update the links based on the AP MLD recommendation and do link
reconfiguration negotiation with AP MLD.
(e.g., After the driver processing the BSS Transition Management request
frame received from the AP MLD with Neighbor Report containing
Multi-Link element with recommended links information chooses to do link
reconfiguration negotiation with AP MLD).

To support this, extend cfg80211_mlo_reconf_add_done() and
NL80211_CMD_ASSOC_MLO_RECONF to indicate added links information for
driver-initiated link reconfiguration requests. For removed links,
the driver indicates links information using the
NL80211_CMD_LINKS_REMOVED event for driver-initiated cases, the same as
supplicant initiated cases.

For the driver-initiated case, cfg80211 will receive link
reconfiguration result asynchronously from driver so holding BSSes of
the accepted add links is needed in the event path. Also, no need of
unhold call for the rejected add link BSSes since there was no hold call
happened previously.

Once the supplicant receives the NL80211_CMD_ASSOC_MLO_RECONF event,
it needs to process the information about newly added links and install
per-link group keys (e.g., GTK/IGTK/BIGTK etc.).

In case of the SME-in-driver, using a vendor interface etc. to notify
the supplicant to initiate a link reconfiguration request and then
supplicant sending command to the cfg80211 can lead to race conditions.
The correct design to avoid this is that the driver indicates the
cfg80211 directly with the results of the link reconfiguration
negotiation.

rdev_end_cac trace event is linked with wiphy_netdev_evt event class.
There is no option to pass link ID currently to wiphy_netdev_evt class.
A subsequent change would pass link ID to rdev_end_cac event and hence
it can no longer derive the event class from wiphy_netdev_evt.

Therefore, unlink rdev_end_cac event from wiphy_netdev_evt and define it's
own independent trace event. Link ID would be passed in subsequent change.
