f26cbf401b cfg80211: change wiphy_to_dev function name
Name wiphy_to_rdev is more accurate to describe what the function

65a124dd71 cfg80211: allow drivers to iterate over matching combinations
The patch splits cfg80211_check_combinations()
into an iterator function and a simple iteration
user.

This makes it possible for drivers to asses how
many channels can use given iftype setup. This in
turn can be used for future
multi-interface/multi-channel channel switching.

b6a550156b cfg80211/mac80211: move more combination checks to mac80211
Get rid of the cfg80211_can_add_interface() and
cfg80211_can_change_interface() functions by moving that functionality
to mac80211.  With this patch all interface combination checks are now
out of cfg80211 (except for the channel switch case which will be
addressed in a future commit).

Additionally, modify the ieee80211_check_combinations() function so
that an undefined chandef can be passed, in order to use it before a
channel is defined.

7c8d5e03ac cfg80211: send stop AP event only due to internal reason
Commit "nl80211: send event when AP operation is stopped" added an
event to notify user space that an AP interface has been stopped, to
handle cases such as suspend etc. The event is sent regardless
if the stop AP flow was triggered by user space or due to internal state
change.

This might cause issues with wpa_supplicant/hostapd flows that consider
stop AP flow as a synchronous one, e.g., AP/GO channel change in the
absence of CSA support. In such cases, the flow will restart the AP
immediately after the stop AP flow is done, and only handle the stop
AP event after the current flow is done, and as a result stop the AP
again.

Change the current implementation to only send the event in case the
stop AP was triggered due to an internal reason.

9e0e29615a cfg80211: consider existing DFS interfaces
It was possible to break interface combinations in
the following way:

 combo 1: iftype = AP, num_ifaces = 2, num_chans = 2,
 combo 2: iftype = AP, num_ifaces = 1, num_chans = 1, radar = HT20

With the above interface combinations it was
possible to:

 step 1. start AP on DFS channel by matching combo 2
 step 2. start AP on non-DFS channel by matching combo 1

This was possible beacuse (step 2) did not consider
if other interfaces require radar detection.

The patch changes how cfg80211 tracks channels -
instead of channel itself now a complete chandef
is stored.

fe94f3a4ff cfg80211: fix channel configuration in IBSS join
When receiving an IBSS_JOINED event select the BSS object
based on the {bssid, channel} couple rather than the bssid
only.
With the current approach if another cell having the same
BSSID (but using a different channel) exists then cfg80211
picks up the wrong BSS object.
The result is a mismatching channel configuration between
cfg80211 and the driver, that can lead to any sort of
problem.

The issue can be triggered by having an IBSS sitting on
given channel and then asking the driver to create a new
cell using the same BSSID but with a different frequency.
By passing the channel to cfg80211_get_bss() we can solve
this ambiguity and retrieve/create the correct BSS object.
All the users of cfg80211_ibss_joined() have been changed
accordingly.

Moreover WARN when cfg80211_ibss_joined() gets a NULL
channel as argument and remove a bogus call of the same
function in ath6kl (it does not make sense to call
cfg80211_ibss_joined() with a zero BSSID on ibss-leave).

5336fa88e8 nl80211/cfg80211: enable DFS for IBSS mode
To use DFS in IBSS mode, userspace is required to react to radar events.
It can inform nl80211 that it is capable of doing so by adding a
NL80211_ATTR_HANDLE_DFS attribute when joining the IBSS.

This attribute is supplied to let the kernelspace know that the
userspace application can and will handle radar events, e.g. by
intiating channel switches to a valid channel. DFS channels may
only be used if this attribute is supplied and the driver supports
it. Driver support will be checked even if a channel without DFS
will be initially joined, as a DFS channel may be chosen later.

5fe231e873 cfg80211: vastly simplify locking
Virtually all code paths in cfg80211 already (need to) hold
the RTNL. As such, there's little point in having another
four mutexes for various parts of the code, they just cause
lock ordering issues (and much of the time, the RTNL and a
few of the others need thus be held.)

Simplify all this by getting rid of the extra four mutexes
and just use the RTNL throughout. Only a few code changes
were needed to do this and we can get rid of a work struct
for bonus points.

98104fdeda cfg80211: add P2P Device abstraction
In order to support using a different MAC address
for the P2P Device address we must first have a
P2P Device abstraction that can be assigned a MAC
address.

This abstraction will also be useful to support
offloading P2P operations to the device, e.g.
periodic listen for discoverability.

Currently, the driver is responsible for assigning
a MAC address to the P2P Device, but this could be
changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to
the NEW_INTERFACE command.

As it has no associated netdev, a P2P Device can
only be identified by its wdev identifier but the
previous patches allowed using the wdev identifier
in various APIs, e.g. remain-on-channel.

in cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan(). This needs to
use nested locking for lockdep.

Also, cfg80211_get_chan_state() doesn't actually
use the rdev, so remove that completely including
the lock assertion that isn't needed.

89a54e48b9 nl80211: prepare for non-netdev wireless devs
In order to support a P2P device abstraction and
Bluetooth high-speed AMPs, we need to have a way
to identify virtual interfaces that don't have a
netdev associated.

Do this by adding a NL80211_ATTR_WDEV attribute
to identify a wdev which may or may not also be
a netdev.

To simplify things, use a 64-bit value with the
high 32 bits being the wiphy index for this new
wdev identifier in the nl80211 API.

95ddc1fc45 cfg80211: bitrate calculation for 60g
60g band uses different from .11n MCS scheme, so bitrate
should be calculated differently

8eb41c8dfb {nl,cfg}80211: support high bitrates
Until now, a u16 value was used to represent bitrate value.
With VHT bitrates this becomes too small.

Introduce a new 32-bit bitrate attribute. nl80211 will report
both the new and the old attribute, unless the bitrate doesn't
fit into the old u16 attribute in which case only the new one
will be reported.

User space tools encouraged to prefer the 32-bit attribute, if
available (since it won't be available on older kernels.)

3a0c52a6d8 cfg80211: add 802.11ad (60gHz band) support
Add enumerations for both cfg80211 and nl80211.
This expands wiphy.bands etc. arrays.

Extend channel <-> frequency translation to cover 60g band
and modify the rate check logic since there are no legacy
mandatory rates (only MCS is used.)

d4e50c5917 cfg80211: add channel checking for iface combinations
.connect cannot be handled since the driver scans
and connects on its own. It is up to the driver
then to refuse a connection (with -EBUSY for
example).

Non-fixed channel IBSSes always take a single
channel resource. For example two non-fixed
channel IBSSes always take up 2
num_different_channels, even if they operate on
the same channel at a given point of time.
