Currently, the S1G channelisation implementation differs from that of
VHT, which is the PHY that S1G is based on. The major difference between
the clock rate is 1/10th of VHT. However how their channelisation is
represented within cfg80211 and mac80211 vastly differ.
To rectify this, remove the use of IEEE80211_CHAN_1/2/4.. flags that were
previously used to indicate the control channel width, however it should be
implied that the control channels are 1MHz in the case of S1G. Additionally,
introduce the invert - being IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_4/8/16MHz - that imply
the control channel may not be used for a certain bandwidth. With these
new flags, we can perform regulatory and chandef validation just as we would
for VHT.
To deal with the notion that S1G PHYs may contain a 2MHz primary channel,
introduce a new variable, s1g_primary_2mhz, which indicates whether we are
operating on a 2MHz primary channel. In this case, the chandef::chan points to
the 1MHz primary channel pointed to by the primary channel location. Alongside
this, introduce some new helper routines that can extract the sibling 1MHz
channel. The sibling being the alternate 1MHz primary subchannel within the
2MHz primary channel that is not pointed to by chandef::chan.
Furthermore, due to unique restrictions imposed on S1G PHYs, introduce
a new flag, IEEE80211_CHAN_S1G_NO_PRIMARY, which states that the 1MHz channel
cannot be used as a primary channel. This is assumed to be set by vendors
as it is hardware and regdom specific, When we validate a 2MHz primary channel,
we need to ensure both 1MHz subchannels do not contain this flag. If one or
both of the 1MHz subchannels contain this flag then the 2MHz primary is not
permitted for use as a primary channel.
Properly integrate S1G channel validation such that it is implemented
according with other PHY types such as VHT. Additionally, implement a new
S1G-specific regulatory flag to allow cfg80211 to understand specific
vendor requirements for S1G PHYs.

This notification will be used by the device to inform user space
about upcoming DW. When received, user space will be able to prepare
multicast Service Discovery Frames (SDFs) to be transmitted during the
next DW using %NL80211_CMD_FRAME command on the NAN management interface.
The device/driver will take care to transmit the frames in the correct
timing. This allows to implement a synchronized Discovery Engine (DE)
in user space, if the device doesn't support DE offload.
Note that this notification can be sent before the actual DW starts as
long as the driver/device handles the actual timing of the SDF
transmission.

The so-called fullmac devices rely on firmware functionality and/or API to
change BSS parameters. Today there are limited drivers supporting the
nl80211 primitive, but they only handle a subset of the bss parameters
passed if any. The mac80211 driver does handle all parameters and stores
their configured values. Some of the BSS parameters were already conditional
by wiphy->features. For these the wiphy->bss_param_support and wiphy->features
fields are silently aligned in wiphy_register(). Maybe better to issue a warning
instead when they are misaligned.

If a valid radio index is not found, the function returns -ENOENT. If the
channel argument itself is invalid, it returns -EINVAL. However, since the
caller only checks for < 0, the distinction between these error codes is
not utilized much. Also, handling these two distinct error codes throughout
the codebase adds complexity, as both cases must be addressed separately. A
subsequent change aims to simplify this by using a single error code for
all invalid cases, making error handling more consistent and streamlined.
To support this change, update the return value to -EINVAL when a valid
radio index is not found. This is still appropriate because, even if the
channel argument is structurally valid, the absence of a corresponding
radio index implies that the argument is effectively invalid—otherwise, a
valid index would have been found.

S1G short beacons are an optional frame type used in an S1G BSS
that contain a limited set of elements. While they are optional,
they are a fundamental part of S1G that enables significant
power saving.
Expose 2 additional netlink attributes,
NL80211_ATTR_S1G_LONG_BEACON_PERIOD which denotes the number of beacon
intervals between each long beacon and NL80211_ATTR_S1G_SHORT_BEACON
which is a nested attribute containing the short beacon tail and
head. We split them as the long beacon period cannot be updated,
and is only used when initialisng the interface, whereas the short
beacon data can be used to both initialise and update the templates.
This follows how things such as the beacon interval and DTIM period
currently operate.
During the initialisation path, we ensure we have the long beacon
period if the short beacon data is being passed down, whereas
the update path will simply update the template if its sent down.
The short beacon data is validated using the same routines for regular
beacons as they support correctly parsing the short beacon format
while ensuring the frame is well-formed.

This reverts commit e3eac9f32e ("wifi: cfg80211: Annotate struct
cfg80211_scan_request with __counted_by").
This really has been a completely failed experiment. There were
no actual bugs found, and yet at this point we already have four
"fixes" to it, with nothing to show for but code churn, and it
never even made the code any safer.
In all of the cases that ended up getting "fixed", the structure
is also internally inconsistent after the n_channels setting as
the channel list isn't actually filled yet. You cannot scan with
such a structure, that's just wrong. In mac80211, the struct is
also reused multiple times, so initializing it once is no good.
Some previous "fixes" (e.g. one in brcm80211) are also just setting
n_channels before accessing the array, under the assumption that the
code is correct and the array can be accessed, further showing that
the whole thing is just pointless when the allocation count and use
count are not separate.
If we really wanted to fix it, we'd need to separately track the
number of channels allocated and the number of channels currently
used, but given that no bugs were found despite the numerous syzbot
reports, that'd just be a waste of time.
Remove the __counted_by() annotation. We really should also remove
a number of the n_channels settings that are setting up a structure
that's inconsistent, but that can wait.

Create a new structure - wiphy_radio_cfg and add rts_threshold in it as a

Currently, per-radio attributes are set on per-phy basis, i.e., all the
radios present in a wiphy will take attributes values sent from user. But
each radio in a wiphy can get different values from userspace based on
its requirement.
To extend support to set per-radio attributes, add support to get radio
index from userspace. Add an NL attribute - NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RADIO_INDEX,
to get user specified radio index for which attributes should be changed.
Pass this to individual drivers, so that the drivers can use this radio
index to change per-radio attributes when necessary. Currently, per-radio
attributes identified are:
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_RX
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_SHORT
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_LONG
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FRAG_THRESHOLD
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RTS_THRESHOLD
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_LIMIT
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_MEMORY_LIMIT
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM
By default, the radio index is set to -1. This means the attribute should
be treated as a global configuration. If the user has not specified any
index, then the radio index passed to individual drivers would be -1. This
would indicate that the attribute applies to all radios in that wiphy.

In the case of SME-in-driver, the driver can internally choose to
update the links based on the AP MLD recommendation and do link
reconfiguration negotiation with AP MLD.
(e.g., After the driver processing the BSS Transition Management request
frame received from the AP MLD with Neighbor Report containing
Multi-Link element with recommended links information chooses to do link
reconfiguration negotiation with AP MLD).
To support this, extend cfg80211_mlo_reconf_add_done() and
NL80211_CMD_ASSOC_MLO_RECONF to indicate added links information for
driver-initiated link reconfiguration requests. For removed links,
the driver indicates links information using the
NL80211_CMD_LINKS_REMOVED event for driver-initiated cases, the same as
supplicant initiated cases.
For the driver-initiated case, cfg80211 will receive link
reconfiguration result asynchronously from driver so holding BSSes of
the accepted add links is needed in the event path. Also, no need of
unhold call for the rejected add link BSSes since there was no hold call
happened previously.
Once the supplicant receives the NL80211_CMD_ASSOC_MLO_RECONF event,
it needs to process the information about newly added links and install
per-link group keys (e.g., GTK/IGTK/BIGTK etc.).
In case of the SME-in-driver, using a vendor interface etc. to notify
the supplicant to initiate a link reconfiguration request and then
supplicant sending command to the cfg80211 can lead to race conditions.
The correct design to avoid this is that the driver indicates the
cfg80211 directly with the results of the link reconfiguration
negotiation.
