Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: add set/get link loss profile
Introduce NL80211_CMD_SET_LINK_LOSS_PROFILE and
NL80211_CMD_GET_LINK_LOSS_PROFILE needed by user space to configure the
link loss profile.
The link loss profile represents the priority of maintaining link up
(connection to AP) in different link quality environments.
This is intended for full mac80211 drivers. Typically link loss detection
is offloaded to firmware, since it requires close monitoring of the RF.
The firmware will disconnect when link quality drops.
There are scenarios that require to lose connection faster once reduced
link quality is detected in order to maintain better user experience.
This can be used in AP and station mode.
Example use case is FST (Fast Session Transfer), where we have a fast
11ad connection but close-range and a backup 11ac connection which is
"always on". In such cases if we detect poor link quality in the active
11ad band we prefer to disconnect and switch to the backup 11ac connection
with the good link quality. This will be reached by setting "aggressive"
profile that will cause more rapid disconnect in such cases.
Three types of behavior for link loss are defined:
LINK_LOSS_PROFILE_RELAXED: prefer maintaining link up even in a poor
link quality environment.
LINK_LOSS_PROFILE_DEFAULT: The default behavior for maintaining link
up vs link quality.
LINK_LOSS_PROFILE_AGGRESSIVE: prefer losing link up in a poor link
quality environment.
New cfg80211 API also been added, set/get_link_loss_profile.
