Currently, the existing macro for_each_link_data() uses sdata_dereference() which requires the wiphy lock. This lock cannot be used in atomic or RCU read-side contexts, such as in the RX path. Introduce a new macro, for_each_link_data_rcu(), that iterates over link of sdata using rcu_dereference(), making it safe to use in RCU contexts. This allows callers to access link data without requiring the wiphy lock. The macro takes into account the vif.valid_links bitmap and ensures only valid links are accessed safely. Callers are responsible for ensuring that rcu_read_lock() is held when using this macro.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
