Implement the new cfg80211 unlocked STA statistics. If
the driver has an operation, then we need to always do
the locked again, so return -EAGAIN unconditionally if
it has a locked but not atomic operation, but drivers
can implement the new atomic methods to provide needed
data atomically (and can also return -EAGAIN).
This should, given a driver without any ops or adding
the atomic ops, reduce wiphy mutex contention.

Implement the new update_beacon() method to update beacon
and related templates without the wiphy mutex. If anything
else were to change return -EAGAIN, same if there are any
active countdowns, and during HW restart. Eventually, the
idea is to replace countdowns by beacon update requests so
hostapd can handle everything instead.
This doesn't enable it for any drivers since it depends on
the driver behaviour, if it fetches each beacon and doesn't
use the other templates it can just set the feature flag
(NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_UPDATE_BEACON), otherwise it must
implement the new update_beacon() mac80211 method.
The regular beacon update may need to take head, tail and
MBSSID/RNR elements from the old beacon, so while that's
going on mark "bss_update_in_progress" and make lockless
updates return -EAGAIN during that time, so that the old
data remains valid/identical.
For MBSSID, the lockless path also can't copy old data,
so that also has to return -EAGAIN.
All those -EAGAIN cases fall back to cfg80211 and do the
update with the lock held, where it can then be handled.
Userspace should ideally ensure it doesn't hit that path.

The "twt_protected" flag in the link/bss_conf information
really isn't right since this is negotiated via RSNX and
therefore cannot differ per link. Move it to be a per-STA
indication and also derive it from the new assoc request
flag since that gets used with security profile.

Implement the nan_set_non_evac_channels operation in mac80211. It marks
the provided channels as non-evacuable in the current local schedule and
clears the flag on all other channels. All provided channels must exist
in the current schedule, otherwise -ENOENT is returned.
ieee80211_nan_find_evac_chan() skips channels marked as non-evacuable
when selecting a channel to evacuate for concurrent operations.

Add the handling of CIP during association, when adding a station in AP
mode and also add some checks whether the keys are being installed
correctly.
For internal use, add a new key flag CIP that is used for both the
pairwise key and CIGTK. The CIGTK will then have the MCAST_KEY and CIP
flags set.
As the CIGTK uses key indices 0 and 1, add a new variable to track it
separately from the other GTKs.

The link ID for one frequency may be different between VIFs. As such,
the sensible thing is to set the link ID later in the flow once the SKB
is duplicated for each VIF. As the link ID is not passed in from outside
mac80211 it is always valid and the corresponding bit can be dropped.
Also switch a few more places to pass the link STA as that is a natural
way to pass the link information around.
This fixes the per-link statistics when frames are reordered.
Note that this patch deliberately leaves some places unchanged and even
incorrect as this will be addressed by further refactorings.

If a station is passed then the link ID also needs to be known. As such,
it is a more natural API to simply pass the link station directly rather
than pushing the link information into the RX status.
Furthermore, having the link ID in the RX status is not actually correct
because the link IDs are VIF specific and there may be multiple VIFs. In
the case of a station this relationship is clear, but then one may as
well use the link station.
This patch only changes the API and emulates the old (incorrect)
behaviour for now. The mac80211 RX code will be updated in later
patches.

Frames injected on a monitor interface can carry a radiotap
field requesting a bandwidth, which mac80211 passes down to
the driver regardless of the the actual operational bandwidth.
If the bandwidth requested is too wide, that triggers a warning

mac80211 converts 802.3 multicast packets to 802.11 format
before driver TX, even when Ethernet encapsulation offload
is enabled. This prevents drivers that support multicast
Ethernet encapsulation offload from receiving frames in
native 802.3 format.
Introduce the IEEE80211_OFFLOAD_ENCAP_MCAST flag to bypass the
802.11 encapsulation step and pass the multicast packet to the
driver in 802.3 format. Drivers that support multicast Ethernet
encapsulation offload can advertise this flag.
Disable multicast encapsulation offload in MLO case for drivers not
advertising MLO_MCAST_MULTI_LINK_TX support for AP mode and for
3-address AP_VLAN multicast packets.

If the device is capable, parse the AP chandef with NPCA.
Also advertise the other NPCA operational parameters to the
underlying driver and track if they change (though not with
BSS critical update etc. yet)
Since NPCA can only be enabled when the chanctx isn't shared,
the channel context code needs to clear/set npca.enabled in
the per-link configuration, except during association since
we can't enable NPCA before having completed association. In
this case, set npca.enabled during the association process.

When two interfaces share a channel context, disable NPCA
unless both are AP interfaces that require NPCA. This way,
two AP interfaces can have identical chandefs set up and
share the channel context, but any non-APs cannot share a
chanctx with NPCA (they'd almost certainly have different
BSS color.)
This doesn't mean the chanctx cannot be shared but rather
that NPCA will be disabled on the shared channel context.

A NAN channel can be evacuated, i.e. detached from its chanctx, if all
chanctxs are used by NAN and a chanctx is needed for something else.
For example if the STA interface needs to perform a channel switch.
Implement the evacuation: detach the NAN channel from its chanctx, remove
all the peer NAN channels that were using this chanctx, and update the
driver.
Internally, the NAN channel evacuation will be triggered in the scenario
described above, and API is provided for the driver to also trigger it.
The driver/device is assumed to publish a ULW to notify the peers about
the fact that we won't be present on this NAN channel anymore.
Also export this as an API for the drivers: if a driver has other
resources per channel, it might want to trigger channel evacuation in
order to free up such internal resources for other usages.

Currently, we store in nan.conf the cluster id that was configured from
upper layer to be used when the device opens a cluster.
But after we joined a cluster, the configured cluster id is no longer
relevant. Particularly, in reconfig we will give the driver the
(possibly) wrong cluster id.
Add an API to be called by the driver when joined a cluster
in which the cluster id will be updated.
Use the locally stored cluster id instead of cfg80211's copy.
Ignore cluster id updates from cfg80211 if we already have one
configured.
Adjust the drivers that use the cfg80211 API
(cfg80211_nan_cluster_joined) directly, otherwise we break functionality

A NAN local schedule consist of a list of NAN channels, and an array
that maps time slots to the channel it is scheduled to (or NULL to indicate
unscheduled).
A NAN channel is the configuration of a channel which is used for NAN
operations. It is a new type of chanctx user (before, the only user is a
link). A NAN channel may not have a chanctx assigned if it is ULWed out.
A NAN channel may or may not be scheduled (for example, user space
may want to prepare the resources before the actual schedule is
configured).
Add management of the NAN local schedule.
Since we introduce a new chanctx user, also adjust the different
for_each_chanctx_user_* macros to visit also the NAN channels and take
those into account.

ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them
free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning
TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the
fragmentation check both do.
Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent,
and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76,
mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free.
Document the skb ownership guarantee in the function's kdoc.

S1G defines use of NDP Block Ack (BA) for aggregation, requiring negotiation
of NDP ADDBA/DELBA action frames. If the S1G recipient supports HT-immediate
block ack, the sender must send an NDP ADDBA Request indicating it expects
only NDP BlockAck frames for the agreement.
Introduce support for NDP ADDBA and DELBA exchange in mac80211. The
implementation negotiates the BA mechanism during setup based on station
capabilities and driver support (IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_NDP_BLOCKACK).
If negotiation fails due to mismatched expectations, a rejection with status code
WLAN_STATUS_REJECTED_NDP_BLOCK_ACK_SUGGESTED is returned as per IEEE 802.11-2024.

Per IEEE Std 802.11be-2024, 12.5.2.3.3, if the MPDU is an
individually addressed Data frame between an AP MLD and a
non-AP MLD associated with the AP MLD, then A1/A2/A3
will be MLD MAC addresses. Otherwise, Al/A2/A3 will be
over-the-air link MAC addresses.
Currently, during AAD and Nonce computation for software based
encryption/decryption cases, mac80211 directly uses the addresses it
receives in the skb frame header. However, after the first
authentication, management frame addresses for non-AP MLD stations
are translated to MLD addresses from over the air link addresses in
software. This means that the skb header could contain translated MLD
addresses, which when used as is, can lead to incorrect AAD/Nonce
computation.
In the following manner, ensure that the right set of addresses are used:
In the receive path, stash the pre-translated link addresses in
ieee80211_rx_data and use them for the AAD/Nonce computations
when required.
In the transmit path, offload the encryption for a CCMP/GCMP key
to the hwsim driver that can then ensure that encryption and hence
the AAD/Nonce computations are performed on the frame containing the
right set of addresses, i.e, MLD addresses if unicast data frame and
link addresses otherwise.
To do so, register the set key handler in hwsim driver so mac80211 is
aware that it is the driver that would take care of encrypting the
frame. Offload encryption for a CCMP/GCMP key, while keeping the
encryption for WEP/TKIP and MMIE generation for a AES_CMAC or a
AES_GMAC key still at the SW crypto in mac layer

Currently, mac80211 allows key installation only after association
completes. However, Enhanced Privacy Protection Key Exchange (EPPKE)
requires key installation before association to enable encryption and
decryption of (Re)Association Request and Response frames.
Add support to install keys prior to association when the peer is an
Enhanced Privacy Protection (EPP) peer that requires encryption and
decryption of (Re)Association Request and Response frames.
Introduce a new boolean parameter "epp_peer" in the "ieee80211_sta"
profile to indicate that the peer supports the Enhanced Privacy
Protection Key Exchange (EPPKE) protocol. For non-AP STA mode, it
is set when the authentication algorithm is WLAN_AUTH_EPPKE during
station profile initialization. For AP mode, it is set during
NL80211_CMD_NEW_STA and NL80211_CMD_ADD_LINK_STA.
When "epp_peer" parameter is set, mac80211 now accepts keys before
association and enables encryption of the (Re)Association
Request/Response frames.

Right now, the only way to iterate stations is to declare an
iterator function, possibly data structure to use, and pass all
that to the iteration helper function. This is annoying, and
there's really no inherent need for it.
Add a new for_each_station() macro that does the iteration in
a more ergonomic way. To avoid even more exported functions, do
the old ieee80211_iterate_stations_mtx() as an inline using the
new way, which may also let the compiler optimise it a bit more,
e.g. via inlining the iterator function.

mac80211 already reports some basic information in the radiotap header
with the known fields declared by the driver. However, drivers may want
to report more accurate information and in that case the full VHT
radiotap structure needs to be provided.
Add a new RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_VHT which is set when the VHT information
should be pulled from the skb. Update the code to fill in the VHT fields
to only do so when requested by the driver or if the information has not
yet been set. This way the driver can fully control the information if
it chooses so.

interface:
- Declare support for the supported management frames types.
- Since action frame transmissions over a NAN Device interface
do not necessarily require a channel configuration, e.g., they
can be transmitted during DW, modify the Tx path to avoid
accessing channel information for NAN Device interface.
- In addition modify the points in the Tx path logic to account
for cases that a band is not specified in the Tx information.

Introduce the ability to parse the short beacon data and long
beacon period. The long beacon period represents the number of beacon
intervals between each long beacon transmission. Additionally,
as a BSS cannot change its configuration such that short beaconing
is dynamically disabled/enabled without tearing down the interface
- we ensure we have an existing short beacon before performing

When SAE commit is sent and received in response, there's no
ordering for the SAE confirm messages. As such, don't call
drivers to stop listening on the channel when the confirm
message is still expected.
This fixes an issue if the local confirm is transmitted later
than the AP's confirm, for iwlwifi (and possibly mt76) the
AP's confirm would then get lost since the device isn't on
the channel at the time the AP transmit the confirm.
For iwlwifi at least, this also improves the overall timing
of the authentication handshake (by about 15ms according to
the report), likely since the session protection won't be
aborted and rescheduled.
Note that even before this, mgd_complete_tx() wasn't always
called for each call to mgd_prepare_tx() (e.g. in the case
of WEP key shared authentication), and the current drivers
that have the complete callback don't seem to mind. Document
this as well though.
