There are 2 types of logical links with a NAN peer:
- management (NMI), which is used for Tx/Rx of NAN management frames.
- data (NDI), which is used for Tx/Rx of data frames, or non-NAN
management frames.
The NMI station has two roles:
- representation of the NAN peer - for example, the peer's schedule
and the HT, VHT, HE capabilities - belong to the NMI station, and not to
the NDI ones.
- Tx/Rx of NAN management frames to/from the peer.
The NDI station is used for Tx/Rx data frames of a specific NDP that was
established with the NAN peer.
Note that a peer can choose to reuse its NMI address as the NDI address.
In that case, it is expected that two stations will be added even though
they will have the same address.
- An NDI station can only be added after the corresponding NMI station
was configured with capabilities.
- All the NDI stations will be removed before the NDI interface is brought
down.
- All NMI stations will be removed before NAN is stopped.
- Before NMI sta removal, all corresponding NDI stations will be removed
Add support for adding, removing, and changing NMI and NDI stations.

In NAN, unlike in other modes, there is only one set of (HT, VHT, HE)
capabilities that is used for all channels (and bands) used in the NAN
data path.
This set of capabilities will have to be a special one, for example - have
the minimum of (HT-for-5 GHz, HT-for-2.4 GHz), careful handling of the
bits that have a different meaning for each band, etc.
While we could use the exiting sband/iftype capabilities, and require
identical capabilities for all bands (makes no sense since this means
that we will have VHT capabilities in the 2.4 GHz slot),
or require that only one of the sbands will be set,
or have logic to extract the minimum and handle the conflicting bits -
it seems simpler to add a dedicated set of capabilities which is special
for NAN, and is band agnostic, to be populated by the driver.
That way we also let the driver decide how it wants to handle the
conflicting bits.
Add this special set of these capabilities to wiphy:nan_capabilities, to be
populated by the driver.
Send it to user space.

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 the AP has an advertised TID to Link Mapping (TTLM) it shall
include the element in the association response. As such, when this
element is present it needs to be used for the currently dormant links.
See Draft P802.11REVmf_D1.0 section 35.3.7.2.3 ("Negotiation of TTLM")
for the details. The flag is also not usable in case userspace wants to
specify a negotiated TTLM during association.
Note that for the link reconfiguration case, mac80211 did not use the
information. Draft P802.11REVmf_D1.0 states in section 35.3.6.4 ("Link
reconfiguration to the setup links) that we "shall operate with all the
TIDs mapped to the newly added links ..."
All this means that the flag is not needed. The implementation should
parse the information from the association response.

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.

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.

In multi-radio wiphy architecture, where a single wiphy can have
multiple radios tied to it, radio specific configuration parameters
and global wiphy parameters are maintained for the entire physical
device and common to all radios. But, each radio in a wiphy can have
different values for each radio configuration parameter, like RTS
threshold. With the current debugfs directory structure, the values
of global wiphy configuration parameters can be viewed, but, values
of individual radio configuration parameters cannot be viewed, as
radio specific configuration parameters are not maintained, separately.
To address this, in addition to maintaining global wiphy configuration
parameters common to all radios, create separate debugfs directories
for each radio in a wiphy to maintain parameters corresponding to that
radio in this directory.
In implementation, maintain a dentry structure in wiphy_radio_cfg, a
structure containing radio configurations of a wiphy. This struct is
maintained to denote per-radio configurations of a wiphy. Create
separate directories representing each radio within phy#X directory in
debugfs during wiphy registration.
Sample directory structure with this change:
ls /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/radio
radio0/ radio1/ radio2/

In multi-radio devices, it is possible to have an MLD AP and a monitor
interface active at the same time. In such cases, monitor mode may not
be able to specify a fixed channel and could end up capturing frames
from all radios, including those outside the intended frequency bands.
This patch adds frequency validation for monitor mode. Received frames
are now only processed if their frequency fall within the allowed ranges
of the radios specified by the interface's radio_mask.
This prevents monitor mode from capturing frames outside the supported radio.

These were used by S1G for older chandef representation, but
are no longer needed. Clean them up, even if we can't drop
them from the userspace API entirely.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Currently, the S1G channelisation implementation differs from that of
VHT, which is the PHY that S1G is based on. The major difference between
the clock rate is 1/10th of VHT. However how their channelisation is
represented within cfg80211 and mac80211 vastly differ.
To rectify this, remove the use of IEEE80211_CHAN_1/2/4.. flags that were
previously used to indicate the control channel width, however it should be
implied that the control channels are 1MHz in the case of S1G. Additionally,
introduce the invert - being IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_4/8/16MHz - that imply
the control channel may not be used for a certain bandwidth. With these
new flags, we can perform regulatory and chandef validation just as we would
for VHT.
To deal with the notion that S1G PHYs may contain a 2MHz primary channel,
introduce a new variable, s1g_primary_2mhz, which indicates whether we are
operating on a 2MHz primary channel. In this case, the chandef::chan points to
the 1MHz primary channel pointed to by the primary channel location. Alongside
this, introduce some new helper routines that can extract the sibling 1MHz
channel. The sibling being the alternate 1MHz primary subchannel within the
2MHz primary channel that is not pointed to by chandef::chan.
Furthermore, due to unique restrictions imposed on S1G PHYs, introduce
a new flag, IEEE80211_CHAN_S1G_NO_PRIMARY, which states that the 1MHz channel
cannot be used as a primary channel. This is assumed to be set by vendors
as it is hardware and regdom specific, When we validate a 2MHz primary channel,
we need to ensure both 1MHz subchannels do not contain this flag. If one or
both of the 1MHz subchannels contain this flag then the 2MHz primary is not
permitted for use as a primary channel.
Properly integrate S1G channel validation such that it is implemented
according with other PHY types such as VHT. Additionally, implement a new
S1G-specific regulatory flag to allow cfg80211 to understand specific
vendor requirements for S1G PHYs.

multicast Service Discovery Frames (SDFs) to be transmitted during the

The device/driver will take care to transmit the frames in the correct
timing. This allows to implement a synchronized Discovery Engine (DE)
in user space, if the device doesn't support DE offload.

The so-called fullmac devices rely on firmware functionality and/or API to
change BSS parameters. Today there are limited drivers supporting the
nl80211 primitive, but they only handle a subset of the bss parameters
passed if any. The mac80211 driver does handle all parameters and stores
their configured values. Some of the BSS parameters were already conditional
by wiphy->features. For these the wiphy->bss_param_support and wiphy->features
fields are silently aligned in wiphy_register(). Maybe better to issue a warning
instead when they are misaligned.

If a valid radio index is not found, the function returns -ENOENT. If the
channel argument itself is invalid, it returns -EINVAL. However, since the
caller only checks for < 0, the distinction between these error codes is
not utilized much. Also, handling these two distinct error codes throughout
the codebase adds complexity, as both cases must be addressed separately. A
subsequent change aims to simplify this by using a single error code for
all invalid cases, making error handling more consistent and streamlined.
To support this change, update the return value to -EINVAL when a valid
radio index is not found. This is still appropriate because, even if the
channel argument is structurally valid, the absence of a corresponding
radio index implies that the argument is effectively invalid—otherwise, a
valid index would have been found.

S1G short beacons are an optional frame type used in an S1G BSS
that contain a limited set of elements. While they are optional,
they are a fundamental part of S1G that enables significant
power saving.
Expose 2 additional netlink attributes,
NL80211_ATTR_S1G_LONG_BEACON_PERIOD which denotes the number of beacon
intervals between each long beacon and NL80211_ATTR_S1G_SHORT_BEACON
which is a nested attribute containing the short beacon tail and
head. We split them as the long beacon period cannot be updated,
and is only used when initialisng the interface, whereas the short
beacon data can be used to both initialise and update the templates.
This follows how things such as the beacon interval and DTIM period
currently operate.
During the initialisation path, we ensure we have the long beacon
period if the short beacon data is being passed down, whereas
the update path will simply update the template if its sent down.
The short beacon data is validated using the same routines for regular
beacons as they support correctly parsing the short beacon format
while ensuring the frame is well-formed.
