Currently, when userspace requests station information with link statistics using NL80211_CMD_GET_STATION with the NL80211_ATTR_STA_DUMP_LINK_STATS flag, the kernel uses the .doit callback (nl80211_get_station) which sends a single netlink message. For MLO stations with multiple links, the link statistics can be large and may exceed the maximum netlink message size, causing the operation to fail with -EMSGSIZE. The .dumpit callback (nl80211_dump_station) already supports fragmentation across multiple netlink messages, making it suitable for handling large link statistics. However, it currently iterates over all stations on the interface, which is inefficient when userspace only wants information about a specific station. Add support for MAC address filtering in nl80211_dump_station to allow userspace to request fragmented link statistics for a specific station. When NL80211_ATTR_MAC is present in a dump request, cache the MAC address in the dump context and use rdev_get_station() to retrieve information for only that station, instead of iterating over all stations with rdev_dump_station(). This allows userspace tools (like iw) to use NL80211_CMD_GET_STATION with NLM_F_DUMP flag to retrieve complete link statistics for a specific station across multiple netlink messages, avoiding the message size limitation.
