I don't understand this change. Neither the <= 1 really, nor the fact
that you actually _make_ this change.


The place above where we are checking number of beaconing links, at that point at least 1 should be active. Since before checking, we have done rcu_assign_pointer() so at least 1 should be there. That is why that condition.

If it is more than 1, then this is not the first link which is going to come up and hence there is no need to set the flag again.

Yeah can do. I prefer "!expr" over "expr == 0". Do you have any preference?

Or maybe we should just save/restore the value instead?

  	list_for_each_entry(vlan, &sdata->u.ap.vlans, u.vlan.list)
  		netif_carrier_off(vlan->dev);
- if (ieee80211_num_beaconing_links(sdata) <= 1)

Unrelated, but it looks like the VLAN netif_carrier_off() handling above
is also wrong and should really go into this if block as well.


Yeah MLO VLAN changes would do that? The previous change was focusing on the AP mode alone and I did not want to break anything in VLAN so did not touch it there.
