*if any interface type is not advertised by the driver
via ieee80211_iface_combination make sure we will have it
as a single interface only. lets that we will not add
an incompatible interface if some other interface is
already present. we cannot add any other interface,
if the already present interface is an incompatible
interface. for example in ath9k we don't advertise ADHOC in
ieee80211_iface_combination structure in the driver,
so it can only exist as an single interface
I'm not sure I understand what you're changing here?
if an interface say ad-hoc is not advertised in iface combination,
with the current still we can add that interface with some other
interface(removing the driver checks).
in ath9k we have
static const struct ieee80211_iface_limit if_limits[] = {
{ .max = 2048, .types = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION) |
BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_CLIENT) |
BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_WDS) },
{ .max = 8, .types =
#ifdef CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH
BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT) |
#endif
BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_AP) |
BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_GO) },
};
i am able to create an IBSS interface even if a STA interface is up and
running in ath9k(removing the driver checks).
this patch ensures that if we have an incompatible interface, it is the
only one can that can exist.
Right, ok, I see that it's broken now, trying to see if there's a better
fix though.
sure, thank you.
