From: Benjamin Berg <[email protected]> Hi, This patchset refactors the RX link resolution a bit to fix some issues where mac80211 might accept frames on the wrong link and incorrectly translate the address. It also adds a new NL80211_ATTR_FRAME_CMD_NO_STA flag so that userspace can know whether address translation was done by the kernel on RX and can also prevent address translation for management frames during TX. This together should be enough to fix the existing issues in hostapd where stations that are still associated try to authenticate again but hostapd for example ends up sending the frame to an old link address. Benjamin v2: * Remove unused variable in rtw89 Changes in v1: * Add NAN_DATA interface handling * Handle NO_STA flag correctly for NAN * Fixed forwarding of station parameter * Rebase and other small fixes Changes in RFCv2: * Port other drivers to new API (untested) * Fix a checkpatch warning Benjamin Berg (8): wifi: iwlwifi: use link_sta internally to the driver wifi: mac80211: change public RX API to use link stations wifi: mac80211: refactor RX link_id and station handling wifi: mac80211: rework RX packet handling wifi: cfg80211: add attribute for TX/RX denoting there is no station wifi: mac80211: report to cfg80211 when no STA is known for a frame wifi: mac80211: pass station to ieee80211_tx_skb_tid wifi: mac80211: pass error station if non-STA transmit was requested drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/dp_rx.c | 2 +- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/dp_mon.c | 2 - drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/dp_rx.c | 20 +- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/hw.h | 20 +- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/wifi7/dp_rx.c | 20 +- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/wifi7/dp_rx.h | 12 +- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/wifi7/hw.c | 6 +- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/wmi.c | 6 - drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/agg.c | 17 +- drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/agg.h | 4 +- drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/rx.c | 50 +- drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/rx.h | 2 +- .../wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/tests/agg.c | 7 +- drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rx.c | 2 +- drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c | 6 +- drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mac80211.c | 22 +- drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/core.c | 7 - .../wireless/virtual/mac80211_hwsim_main.c | 3 - include/net/cfg80211.h | 4 + include/net/mac80211.h | 25 +- include/uapi/linux/nl80211.h | 7 + net/mac80211/agg-tx.c | 4 +- net/mac80211/ap.c | 3 - net/mac80211/ht.c | 2 +- net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h | 11 +- net/mac80211/iface.c | 7 +- net/mac80211/mlme.c | 10 +- net/mac80211/offchannel.c | 13 +- net/mac80211/rx.c | 447 ++++++++++-------- net/mac80211/scan.c | 10 +- net/mac80211/tdls.c | 2 +- net/mac80211/tx.c | 10 +- net/wireless/nl80211.c | 8 +- 33 files changed, 413 insertions(+), 358 deletions(-) -- 2.55.0
