2026-06-05wifi: mac80211: Add 802.3 multicast encapsulation offload supportTamizh Chelvam Raja
mac80211 converts 802.3 multicast packets to 802.11 format before driver TX, even when Ethernet encapsulation offload is enabled. This prevents drivers that support multicast Ethernet encapsulation offload from receiving frames in native 802.3 format. Introduce the IEEE80211_OFFLOAD_ENCAP_MCAST flag to bypass the 802.11 encapsulation step and pass the multicast packet to the driver in 802.3 format. Drivers that support multicast Ethernet encapsulation offload can advertise this flag. Disable multicast encapsulation offload in MLO case for drivers not advertising MLO_MCAST_MULTI_LINK_TX support for AP mode and for 3-address AP_VLAN multicast packets.

2026-05-05wifi: mac80211: mlme: use NPCA chandef if capableJohannes Berg
If the device is capable, parse the AP chandef with NPCA. Also advertise the other NPCA operational parameters to the underlying driver and track if they change (though not with BSS critical update etc. yet) Since NPCA can only be enabled when the chanctx isn't shared, the channel context code needs to clear/set npca.enabled in the per-link configuration, except during association since we can't enable NPCA before having completed association. In this case, set npca.enabled during the association process.

2026-05-05wifi: mac80211: allow only AP chanctx sharing with NPCAJohannes Berg
When two interfaces share a channel context, disable NPCA unless both are AP interfaces that require NPCA. This way, two AP interfaces can have identical chandefs set up and share the channel context, but any non-APs cannot share a chanctx with NPCA (they'd almost certainly have different BSS color.) This doesn't mean the chanctx cannot be shared but rather that NPCA will be disabled on the shared channel context.

2026-05-05wifi: mac80211: add NAN channel evacuation supportMiri Korenblit
A NAN channel can be evacuated, i.e. detached from its chanctx, if all chanctxs are used by NAN and a chanctx is needed for something else. For example if the STA interface needs to perform a channel switch. Implement the evacuation: detach the NAN channel from its chanctx, remove all the peer NAN channels that were using this chanctx, and update the driver. Internally, the NAN channel evacuation will be triggered in the scenario described above, and API is provided for the driver to also trigger it. The driver/device is assumed to publish a ULW to notify the peers about the fact that we won't be present on this NAN channel anymore. Also export this as an API for the drivers: if a driver has other resources per channel, it might want to trigger channel evacuation in order to free up such internal resources for other usages.

2026-05-05wifi: mac80211: track the id of the NAN cluster we joinedMiri Korenblit
Currently, we store in nan.conf the cluster id that was configured from upper layer to be used when the device opens a cluster. But after we joined a cluster, the configured cluster id is no longer relevant. Particularly, in reconfig we will give the driver the (possibly) wrong cluster id. Add an API to be called by the driver when joined a cluster in which the cluster id will be updated. Use the locally stored cluster id instead of cfg80211's copy. Ignore cluster id updates from cfg80211 if we already have one configured. Adjust the drivers that use the cfg80211 API (cfg80211_nan_cluster_joined) directly, otherwise we break functionality (i.e. accept frame check won't evaluate to true).

A NAN local schedule consist of a list of NAN channels, and an array that maps time slots to the channel it is scheduled to (or NULL to indicate unscheduled). A NAN channel is the configuration of a channel which is used for NAN operations. It is a new type of chanctx user (before, the only user is a link). A NAN channel may not have a chanctx assigned if it is ULWed out. A NAN channel may or may not be scheduled (for example, user space may want to prepare the resources before the actual schedule is configured). Add management of the NAN local schedule. Since we introduce a new chanctx user, also adjust the different for_each_chanctx_user_* macros to visit also the NAN channels and take those into account.

2026-03-06wifi: mac80211: add support for NDP ADDBA/DELBA for S1GRia Thomas
S1G defines use of NDP Block Ack (BA) for aggregation, requiring negotiation of NDP ADDBA/DELBA action frames. If the S1G recipient supports HT-immediate block ack, the sender must send an NDP ADDBA Request indicating it expects only NDP BlockAck frames for the agreement. Introduce support for NDP ADDBA and DELBA exchange in mac80211. The implementation negotiates the BA mechanism during setup based on station capabilities and driver support (IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_NDP_BLOCKACK).

2026-03-02wifi: mac80211: Fix AAD/Nonce computation for management frames with MLOSai Pratyusha Magam
Per IEEE Std 802.11be-2024, 12.5.2.3.3, if the MPDU is an individually addressed Data frame between an AP MLD and a non-AP MLD associated with the AP MLD, then A1/A2/A3 will be MLD MAC addresses. Otherwise, Al/A2/A3 will be over-the-air link MAC addresses. Currently, during AAD and Nonce computation for software based encryption/decryption cases, mac80211 directly uses the addresses it receives in the skb frame header. However, after the first authentication, management frame addresses for non-AP MLD stations are translated to MLD addresses from over the air link addresses in software. This means that the skb header could contain translated MLD addresses, which when used as is, can lead to incorrect AAD/Nonce computation. In the following manner, ensure that the right set of addresses are used: In the receive path, stash the pre-translated link addresses in ieee80211_rx_data and use them for the AAD/Nonce computations when required. In the transmit path, offload the encryption for a CCMP/GCMP key to the hwsim driver that can then ensure that encryption and hence the AAD/Nonce computations are performed on the frame containing the right set of addresses, i.e, MLD addresses if unicast data frame and link addresses otherwise. To do so, register the set key handler in hwsim driver so mac80211 is aware that it is the driver that would take care of encrypting the frame. Offload encryption for a CCMP/GCMP key, while keeping the encryption for WEP/TKIP and MMIE generation for a AES_CMAC or a AES_GMAC key still at the SW crypto in mac layer Co-developed-by: Rohan Dutta <quic_drohan@quicinc.com> Signed-off-by: Rohan Dutta <quic_drohan@quicinc.com> Signed-off-by: Sai Pratyusha Magam <sai.magam@oss.qualcomm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260226042959.3766157-1-sai.magam@oss.qualcomm.com [only store and apply link_addrs for unicast non-data rather storing always and applying for !unicast_data] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2025-07-09wifi: mac80211: don't complete management TX on SAE commitJohannes Berg
When SAE commit is sent and received in response, there's no ordering for the SAE confirm messages. As such, don't call drivers to stop listening on the channel when the confirm message is still expected. This fixes an issue if the local confirm is transmitted later than the AP's confirm, for iwlwifi (and possibly mt76) the AP's confirm would then get lost since the device isn't on the channel at the time the AP transmit the confirm. For iwlwifi at least, this also improves the overall timing of the authentication handshake (by about 15ms according to the report), likely since the session protection won't be aborted and rescheduled. Note that even before this, mgd_complete_tx() wasn't always called for each call to mgd_prepare_tx() (e.g. in the case of WEP key shared authentication), and the current drivers that have the complete callback don't seem to mind. Document this as well though.

2025-07-09wifi: mac80211: avoid weird state in error pathMiri Korenblit
If we get to the error path of ieee80211_prep_connection, for example because of a FW issue, then ieee80211_vif_set_links is called with 0. But the call to drv_change_vif_links from ieee80211_vif_update_links will probably fail as well, for the same reason. In this case, the valid_links and active_links bitmaps will be reverted to the value of the failing connection. Then, in the next connection, due to the logic of ieee80211_set_vif_links_bitmaps, valid_links will be set to the ID of the new connection assoc link, but the active_links will remain with the ID of the old connection's assoc link. If those IDs are different, we get into a weird state of valid_links and active_links being different. One of the consequences of this state is to call drv_change_vif_links with new_links as 0, since the & operation between the bitmaps will be 0. Since a removal of a link should always succeed, ignore the return value of drv_change_vif_links if it was called to only remove links, which is the case for the ieee80211_prep_connection's error path. That way, the bitmaps will not be reverted to have the value from the failing connection and will have 0, so the next connection will have a good state.

2025-06-24wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: Add support to get radio indexRoopni Devanathan
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.

2025-04-23Revert "mac80211: Dynamically set CoDel parameters per station"Toke Høiland-Jørgensen
This reverts commit 484a54c2e597dbc4ace79c1687022282905afba0. The CoDel parameter change essentially disables CoDel on slow stations, with some questionable assumptions, as Dave pointed out in [0]. Quoting from there: But here are my pithy comments as to why this part of mac80211 is so wrong... static void sta_update_codel_params(struct sta_info *sta, u32 thr) { - if (thr && thr < STA_SLOW_THRESHOLD * sta->local->num_sta) { 1) sta->local->num_sta is the number of associated, rather than active, stations. "Active" stations in the last 50ms or so, might have been a better thing to use, but as most people have far more than that associated, we end up with really lousy codel parameters, all the time. Mistake numero uno! 2) The STA_SLOW_THRESHOLD was completely arbitrary in 2016. - sta->cparams.target = MS2TIME(50); This, by itself, was probably not too bad. 30ms might have been better, at the time, when we were battling powersave etc, but 20ms was enough, really, to cover most scenarios, even where we had low rate 2Ghz multicast to cope with. Even then, codel has a hard time finding any sane drop rate at all, with a target this high. - sta->cparams.interval = MS2TIME(300); But this was horrible, a total mistake, that is leading to codel being completely ineffective in almost any scenario on clients or APS. 100ms, even 80ms, here, would be vastly better than this insanity. I'm seeing 5+seconds of delay accumulated in a bunch of otherwise happily fq-ing APs.... 100ms of observed jitter during a flow is enough. Certainly (in 2016) there were interactions with powersave that I did not understand, and still don't, but if you are transmitting in the first place, powersave shouldn't be a problemmmm..... - sta->cparams.ecn = false; At the time we were pretty nervous about ecn, I'm kind of sanguine about it now, and reliably indicating ecn seems better than turning it off for any reason. [...] In production, on p2p wireless, I've had 8ms and 80ms for target and interval for years now, and it works great. I think Dave's arguments above are basically sound on the face of it, and various experimentation with tighter CoDel parameters in the OpenWrt community have show promising results[1]. So I don't think there's any reason to keep this parameter fiddling; hence this revert.

2025-01-13wifi: mac80211: add some support for RX OMI power savingJohannes Berg
In order to save power, it can be desirable to change the RX operating mode using OMI to reduce the bandwidth. As the handshake must be done in the HTC+ field, it cannot be done by mac80211 directly, so expose functions to the driver to request and finalize the necessary updates. Note that RX OMI really only changes what the peer (AP) will transmit to us, but in order to use it to actually save some power (by reducing the listen bandwidth) we also update rate scaling and then the channel context's mindef accordingly. The updates are split into two in order to sequence them correctly, when reducing bandwidth first reduce the rate scaling and thus TX, then send OMI, then reduce the listen bandwidth (chandef); when increasing bandwidth this is the other way around. This also requires tracking in different variables which part is applicable already.
