wifi: virt_wifi: Fix page fault on connect

2025-09-10T13:01:07Z

This patch prevents page fault in __cfg80211_connect_result()[1] when connecting a virt_wifi device, while ensuring that virt_wifi can connect properly.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: Add support to get radio index

2025-06-24T13:19:27Z

Currently, per-radio attributes are set on per-phy basis, i.e., all the radios present in a wiphy will take attributes values sent from user. But each radio in a wiphy can get different values from userspace based on its requirement. To extend support to set per-radio attributes, add support to get radio index from userspace. Add an NL attribute - NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RADIO_INDEX, to get user specified radio index for which attributes should be changed. Pass this to individual drivers, so that the drivers can use this radio index to change per-radio attributes when necessary. Currently, per-radio attributes identified are: NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_RX NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_SHORT NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_LONG NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FRAG_THRESHOLD NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RTS_THRESHOLD NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_LIMIT NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_MEMORY_LIMIT NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM By default, the radio index is set to -1. This means the attribute should be treated as a global configuration. If the user has not specified any index, then the radio index passed to individual drivers would be -1. This would indicate that the attribute applies to all radios in that wiphy.

wifi: mac80211: restructure tx profile retrieval for MLO MBSSID

2025-04-23T16:03:53Z

For MBSSID, each vif (struct ieee80211_vif) stores another vif pointer for the transmitting profile of MBSSID set. This won't suffice for MLO as there may be multiple links, each of which can be part of different MBSSID sets. Hence the information needs to be stored per-link. Additionally, the transmitted profile itself may be part of an MLD hence storing vif will not suffice either. Fix MLO by storing an instance of struct ieee80211_bss_conf for each link. Modify following operations to reflect the above structure updates: - channel switch completion - BSS color change completion - Removing nontransmitted links in ieee80211_stop_mbssid() - drivers retrieving the transmitted link for beacon templates.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock (IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls) - Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock. - Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance. - Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy Rx via io_uring. - Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%. - Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream performance up to 2x. - Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution. - Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%. - Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under ping flood. - Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win. - Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4 namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments, interpreted differently based on context. - Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access. - Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in TCP. - Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches. - Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST. - Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP sockets. - Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin users. - Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack. - Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a module. - Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar to normal bridging. - Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels. - netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name to messages as metadata Driver API: - Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where possible. Improve its handling in phylib. - Support symmetric OR-XOR RSS hashing algorithm. - Support tracking and preserving IRQ affinity by NAPI itself. - Support loopback mode speed selection for interface selftests.

wifi: virt_wifi: Add __nonstring annotations for unterminated strings

2025-03-12T08:48:28Z

When a character array without a terminating NUL character has a static initializer, GCC 15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization will only warn if the array lacks the "nonstring" attribute[1]. Mark the arrays with __nonstring to and correctly identify the char array as "not a C string" and thereby eliminate the warning.

Do address translations only between shared links. It is possible that while an non-AP MLD station and an AP MLD station have shared links, the frame is intended to be sent on a link which is not shared (for example when sending a probe response).
