[PATCH v2 0/2] MLO MBSSID Support

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

 



Enable MBSSID for Multi-link Operation.

For MLD if transmitting link of an MBSSID group is part of MLD then
link id of TX link BSS along with TX interface index has to be
specified. Add new MBSSID NL attribute to get link id of transmitting
vap link in case TX vap is an MLD

Additinaly for MLD, a pointer to Tx link BSS is needed by non-tx link
BSS. Currently mbssid_tx_vif is inside vif structure which won't
suffice for finding tx link for any non-tx link. Remove mbssid_tx_vif
and add mbssid_tx_bss to link conf.

Update ATH drivers to access mbssid_tx_bss member instead of
mbssid_tx_vif.
