These patch series for nl80211 driver add processing
RTM event for each bss, not only for first.
Add ability for updating bss ifindex.
Add test ap_multi_bss_restart for test case
`ifconfig down/up non-main-bss`
Description:
commit 106fa1e97 "nl80211: Indicate interface-down event only for the
main netdev" removes RTM event processing for non-main iface
due to RTM events for non-main iface lead to main iface is
disabled. But impact this commit leads RTM events for non-main iface has been
ignored. Such behavior breaks Virtual AP mode in next test cases:
- after perform ifconfig down/up non-main iface, link of appropriate
iface leaves in NO-CARRIER state;
- after device_reprobe when ifindexes are changed, hostapd unables to
update ifindexes of non-main ifaces by ifaces names.
Propose to fix it by replacing the processing of RTM events
from per global drv to per bss.
