[PATCH 0/7] mac80211: CSA related fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This cleans up some CSA related stuff and notably
tries to fix locking issues.

Now local->mtx is used along with sdata lock to
secure vif->csa_active modification. Addition of
local->mtx makes it possible to check
vif->csa_active on all interfaces safely.

The last patch (the revert) is more of a
suggestion. 

I've decided to include the radar patch here as
well.

This patchset is required to support
multi-interface CSA in mac80211. 


Changes since RFC:

 * rebase on top of mac80211-next and adjust to
   some IBSS/mesh changes

 * fix typo in commit message of `move
   csa_active seting in STA CSA`

 * remove `track CSA globally`

 * add `deny attempts at using chanctx during CSA`
   (it takes a little bit of code from the removed
    `track CSA globally` and `implement
     multi-interface CSA`)
