[ Upstream commit 140c6a61d83cbd85adba769b5ef8d61acfa5b392 ]

Currently, when a non-DFS channel is brought up and the bandwidth is
expanded from 80 MHz to 160 MHz, where the primary 80 MHz is non-DFS
and the secondary 80 MHz consists of DFS channels, radar detection
fails if radar occurs in the secondary 80 MHz.

When the channel is switched from 80 MHz to 160 MHz, with the primary
80 MHz being non-DFS and the secondary 80 MHz consisting of DFS
channels, the radar required flag in the channel switch parameters
is set to true. However, when using a reserved channel context,
it is not updated in sdata, which disables radar detection in the
secondary 80 MHz DFS channels.

Update the radar required flag in sdata to fix this issue when using
a reserved channel context.

[ Upstream commit cc2b722132893164bcb3cee4f08ed056e126eb6c ]

Currently, ieee80211_rx_data_set_sta() does not correctly handle the
case where the interface supports multiple links (MLO), but the station
does not (non-MLO). This can lead to incorrect link assignment or
unexpected warnings when accessing link information.

Hence, add a fix to check if the station lacks valid link support and
use its default link ID for rx-&gt;link assignment. If the station
unexpectedly has valid links, fall back to the default link.

This ensures correct link association and prevents potential issues
in mixed MLO/non-MLO environments.

<title>wifi: mac80211: avoid weird state in error path</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit be1ba9ed221ffb95a8bb15f4c83d0694225ba808 ]

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 &amp; 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.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 6b04716cdcac37bdbacde34def08bc6fdb5fc4e2 ]

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.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 93370f2d37f50757a810da409efc0223c342527e ]

If this action frame, with the value of IEEE80211_HT_CHANWIDTH_ANY,
arrives right after a beacon that changed the operational bandwidth from
20 MHz to 40 MHz, then updating the rate control bandwidth to 40 can
race with updating the chanctx width (that happens in the beacon
proccesing) back to 40 MHz:

cpu0					cpu1

ieee80211_rx_mgmt_beacon
ieee80211_config_bw
ieee80211_link_change_chanreq
(*)ieee80211_link_update_chanreq
					ieee80211_rx_h_action
					(**)ieee80211_sta_cur_vht_bw
(***) ieee80211_recalc_chanctx_chantype

in (**), the maximum between the capability width and the bss width is
returned. But the bss width was just updated to 40 in (*),
so the action frame handling code will increase the width of the rate
control before the chanctx was increased (in ***), leading to a FW error
(at least in iwlwifi driver. But this is wrong regardless).

Fix this by simply handling the action frame async, so it won't race
with the beacon proccessing.

[ Upstream commit a597432cc9e640439370d9dc95952220cc13fc2b ]

Since there's no TPE element in the (re)assoc response, trying
to use the data from it just leads to using the defaults, even
though the real values had been set during authentication from
the discovered BSS information.

Fix this by simply not handling the TPE data in assoc response
since it's not intended to be present, if it changes later the
necessary changes will be made by tracking beacons later.

As a side effect, by passing the real frame subtype, now print
a correct value for ML reconfiguration responses.

On devices without WANT_MONITOR_VIF (and probably without
channel context support) we get a WARN_ON for changing the
per-link setting of a monitor interface.

Since we already skip AP_VLAN interfaces and MONITOR with
WANT_MONITOR_VIF and/or NO_VIRTUAL_MONITOR should update
the settings, catch this in the link change code instead
of the warning.
