[PATCH 0/9] wifi: mt76: mt7921: introduce chanctx support

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

 



From: Sean Wang <objelf@xxxxxxxxx>

The patchset introduces chanctx support to enable the capability
on the newer firmware to manage the channel context scheduling on multiple 
roles running on the device including Station, AP, and P2P GC/GO mode
(will be extended based on the patchset in the future) to help users share
the network with others on a single device.
 
The things to be noted is that
1) The newer firmware is able to support the channel chanctx up to 2
interfaces simultaneously running on the different channels.

2) Before the driver is going sent out the management frames, the driver
has to get the privilege from the firmware to acquire the current channel
context for the frame until the frame handshake is completed and then get
the privilege back to the firmware.

3) The patchset has to rely on
("mt76: mt7921: fix the firmware version report")
("mt76: mt7921: add mt7921_mutex_acquire at mt7921_[start, stop]_ap")
