Hi:
	1.Do you have any new version about this RFC patch?

Not really, no.


	2.I have some questions about this patch:

(a couple of blank lines and some trimming of the context really would
help ... please try next time)

+static u16
+ieee80211_extract_dis_subch_bmap(const struct ieee80211_eht_operation *eht_oper,
+				 struct cfg80211_chan_def *chandef, u16 bitmap)
+{
+	int sta_center_freq = ieee80211_channel_to_frequency(eht_oper->ccfs,
+							     chandef->chan->band);
+	u32 center_freq = chandef->chan->center_freq;
The shift is calculated by the difference of old and new channel center
frequency.The new channel center frequency should be
"chandef->center_freq1" after BW negotitaion.
"chandef->chan->center_freq" is the primary channel frequency.


Yeah I think we did fix a couple of bugs in this area later.

+	u8 sta_bw = 20 * BIT(u8_get_bits(eht_oper->chan_width,
+					 IEEE80211_EHT_OPER_CHAN_WIDTH));
+	u8 bw = 20 * BIT(ieee80211_chan_width_to_rx_bw(chandef->width));
+	int sta_start_freq = sta_center_freq - sta_bw / 2;
+	int start_freq = center_freq - bw / 2;
+	u16 shift = (start_freq - sta_start_freq) / 20;
+	u16 mask = BIT(sta_bw / 20) - 1;
The mask is used to extra the valid bit according to the new BW,
but current algorithm is using the old bandwidth.


:)

+	while (chandef->width > NL80211_CHAN_WIDTH_40) {
+		extracted =
+			ieee80211_extract_dis_subch_bmap(eht_oper, chandef,
+							 bitmap);
+
+		if (ieee80211_valid_disable_subchannel_bitmap(&bitmap,
+							      chandef->width))
Here extract the bitmap according new negotiated BW. After extracting,
check whether it is valid.
I think you should use "&extracted"  instead of "&bitmap"

Yeah I guess that makes sense.

I don't know what fixes we have and what version of this patch this is.

+static bool ieee80211_config_puncturing(struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata,
+					const struct ieee80211_eht_operation *eht_oper,
+					u64 *changed)
+{
+	u16 bitmap, extracted;
+	u8 bw;
+
+	if (!u8_get_bits(eht_oper->present_bm,
+			 IEEE80211_EHT_OPER_DISABLED_SUBCHANNEL_BITMAP_PRESENT))
+		bitmap = 0;
+	else
+		bitmap = get_unaligned_le16(eht_oper->disable_subchannel_bitmap);
+
Should check initial bitmap here.


What do you mean by "initial" here?


"Initial bitmap" is the original bitmap that AP send in beacon . STA will extract it according to the negotiated BW. So i call it "Initial bitmap".

This is my personal statement.




+	extracted = ieee80211_extract_dis_subch_bmap(eht_oper,
+						     &sdata->vif.bss_conf.chandef,
+						     bitmap);
+
+	/* accept if there are no changes */
+	if (!(*changed & BSS_CHANGED_BANDWIDTH) &&
+	    extracted == sdata->vif.bss_conf.eht_puncturing)
+		return true;
+
+	bw = u8_get_bits(eht_oper->chan_width, IEEE80211_EHT_OPER_CHAN_WIDTH);
+
+	if (!ieee80211_valid_disable_subchannel_bitmap(&bitmap, bw)) {
+		sdata_info(sdata,
+			   "Got an invalid disable subchannel bitmap from AP %pM: bitmap = 0x%x, bw = 0x%x. disconnect\n",
+			    sdata->u.mgd.associated->bssid, bitmap, bw);
+		return false;
+	}
The initial bitmap received from the AP is checked here.
I think it should be carried out before the extraction above.

Ah, yes I guess that makes sense.


Anyway the more fundamental thing we have to figure out here (and thanks
for bringing this back) is how we treat the puncturing - QCOM's AP-side
puncturing patch treated it as part of the chandef, but that's not
working well for client side ...



Yes, to my understanding, I think it's more appropriate to define it like you in "ieee80211_bss_conf".

But this should be discussed by people like you. I'm just responsible for developing according to these definitions.

My question is over.

Thanks again for your patient reply.



Best regard
