[PATCH v3] cfg80211: Enhance the AKM advertizement to support per interface.

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

 



Commit ab4dfa20534e ("cfg80211: Allow drivers to advertise supported AKM
suites") introduces the support to advertize supported AKMs to userspace.

This needs an enhancement to advertize the AKM support per interface type,
specifically for the cfg80211-based drivers that implement SME and use
different mechanisms to support the AKM's for each interface type (e.g.,
the support for SAE, OWE AKM's take different paths for such drivers on
STA/AP mode).

Add a new nl80211 attribute to provide supported AKMs per interface type
to userspace.

This commit aims the same and enhances the earlier mechanism of advertizing
the AKMs per wiphy. AKMs advertized in akm_suites are default capabilities
if not advertized for a specific interface type in iftype_akm_suites.

Changelog:
v2->v3:
 -Use bitmask of iftypes instead of single iftype
v1->v2:
 -Keep advertizing support for AKM suites per wiphy
 -AKM suites per interface overrides wiphy AKM suites for specific interface
 -Rename new nl80211 attribute to NL80211_ATTR_IFTYPE_AKM_SUITES
