wifi: mac80211: fix monitor channel with chanctx emulation

2024-06-14T07:14:08+00:00

After the channel context emulation, there were reports that changing the monitor channel no longer works. This is because those drivers don't have WANT_MONITOR_VIF, so the setting the channel always exits out quickly. Fix this by always allocating the virtual monitor sdata, and simply not telling the driver about it unless it wanted to. This way, we have an interface/sdata to bind the chanctx to, and the emulation can work correctly.

wifi: mac80211: Remove generic .ndo_get_stats64

2024-06-12T11:04:24+00:00

Commit 3e2f544dd8a33 ("net: get stats64 if device if driver is configured") moved the callback to dev_get_tstats64() to net core, so, unless the driver is doing some custom stats collection, it does not need to set .ndo_get_stats64. Since this driver is now relying in NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS, then, it doesn't need to set the dev_get_tstats64() generic .ndo_get_stats64 function pointer. In this driver specifically, .ndo_get_stats64 basically points to dev_fetch_sw_netstats(). Now it will point to dev_get_tstats64(), which calls netdev_stats_to_stats64() and dev_fetch_sw_netstats(). netdev_stats_to_stats64() seems irrelevant for this driver.

wifi: mac80211: Move stats allocation to core

2024-06-12T11:04:24+00:00

With commit 34d21de99cea9 ("net: Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to core and convert veth & vrf"), stats allocation could be done on net core instead of this driver. With this new approach, the driver doesn't have to bother with error handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the right spot, etc). This is core responsibility now. Move mac80211 driver to leverage the core allocation.

wifi: mac80211: Recalc offload when monitor stop

2024-06-12T10:29:25+00:00

When a monitor interface is started, ieee80211_recalc_offload() is called and 802.11 encapsulation offloading support get disabled so monitor interface could get native wifi frames directly. But when this interface is stopped there is no need to keep the 802.11 encpasulation offloading off. This call ieee80211_recalc_offload() when monitor interface is stopped so 802.11 encapsulation offloading gets re-activated if possible.
