Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.

As per IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021, 11.1.3.8.3 Discovery of a nontransmitted
BSSID profile, an EMA AP that transmits a Beacon frame carrying a partial
list of nontransmitted BSSID profiles should include in the frame
a Reduced Neighbor Report element carrying information for at least the
nontransmitted BSSIDs that are not present in the Multiple BSSID element
carried in that frame.
Add new nested attribute NL80211_ATTR_EMA_RNR_ELEMS to support the above.
Number of RNR elements must be more than or equal to the number of
MBSSID elements. This attribute can be used only when EMA is enabled.
Userspace is responsible for splitting the RNR into multiple elements such
that each element excludes the non-transmitting profiles already included
in the MBSSID element (%NL80211_ATTR_MBSSID_ELEMS) at the same index.
Each EMA beacon will be generated by adding MBSSID and RNR elements
at the same index. If the userspace provides more RNR elements than the
number of MBSSID elements then these will be added in every EMA beacon.

There is no need to manually set the owner of a struct class, as the
registering function does it automatically, so remove all of the
explicit settings from various drivers that did so as it is unneeded.
This allows us to remove this pointer entirely from this structure going
forward.

The cfg80211_scan_request structure is followed by a flexible array member
as well as several other arrays that are then stored into pointers in the
structure. These are allocated currently using a simple sequence of
multiplications.
Replace the calculations with struct_size(), size_add(), and array_size()
helper macros. These macros saturate the calculation at SIZE_MAX rather
than overflowing.
Note that we can't use flex_array_size() instead of array_size() because
the fields are not arrays, but simple pointers.

Add support to use a random local address in authentication and
deauthentication frames sent to unassociated peer when the driver
supports.
The driver needs to configure receive behavior to accept frames with
random transmit address specified in TX path authentication frames
during the time of the frame exchange is pending and such frames need to
be acknowledged similarly to frames sent to the local permanent address
when this random address functionality is used.
This capability allows use of randomized transmit address for PASN
authentication frames to improve privacy of WLAN clients.

The check that beacon primary channel is in the range of 80 MHz
(abs < 80) is invalid for 320 MHz since duplicate beacon transmit
means that the AP transmits it on all the 20 MHz sub-channels:
9.4.2.249 HE Operation element - ... AP transmits Beacon frames in
non-HT duplicate PPDU with a TXVECTOR parameter CH_BANDWIDTH value
that is up to the BSS bandwidth.
So in case of 320 MHz the DUP beacon can be in upper 160 for primary
channel in the lower 160 giving possibly an absolute range of over
80 MHz.
Also this check is redundant alltogether, if AP has a wrong primary
channel in the beacon it's a faulty AP, and we would fail in next
steps to connect.
While at it, fix the frequency comparison to no longer compare
between KHz and MHz, which was introduced by commit 7f599aeccb
("cfg80211: Use the HE operation IE to determine a 6GHz BSS channel").

Currently in case DUP bit is not set we don't return the primary
channel for 6 GHz Band, but the spec says that the DUP bit has
no effect on this field:
9.4.2.249 HE Operation element:
The Duplicate Beacon subfield is set to 1 if the AP transmits
Beacon frames in non-HT duplicate PPDU with a TXVECTOR parameter
CH_BANDWIDTH value that is up to the BSS bandwidth and is set to
0 otherwise.
So remove the condition for returning primary channel based on DUP.
Since the caller code already marks the signal as invalid in case
the indicated frequency is not the tuned frequency, there's no need
to additionally handle this case here since that's already true for
duplicated beacons on the non-primary channel(s).

Warn only once since the ratelimit parameters are still

Also modify the message to note that wext stops working
for future Wi-Fi 7 hardware, this is already implemented
in commit 4ca6902769 ("wifi: wireless: deny wireless
extensions on MLO-capable devices") and is maybe of more
relevance to users than the fact that we'd like to have
wireless extensions deprecated.
The issue with Wi-Fi 7 is that you can now have multiple
connections to the same AP, so a whole bunch of things
now become per link rather than per netdev, which can't
really be handled in wireless extensions.

When a connection was established without going through
NL80211_CMD_CONNECT, the ssid was never set in the wireless_dev struct.
Now we set it in __cfg80211_connect_result() when it is not already set.
When using a userspace configuration that does not call
cfg80211_connect() (can be checked with breakpoints in the kernel),
this patch should allow `networkctl status device_name` to output the
SSID instead of null.

At least ath10k and ath11k supported hardware (maybe more) does not implement
mesh A-MSDU aggregation in a standard compliant way.
802.11-2020 9.3.2.2.2 declares that the Mesh Control field is part of the
A-MSDU header (and little-endian).
As such, its length must not be included in the subframe length field.
Hardware affected by this bug treats the mesh control field as part of the
MSDU data and sets the length accordingly.
In order to avoid packet loss, keep track of which stations are affected
by this and take it into account when converting A-MSDU to 802.3 + mesh control
packets.

The current mac80211 mesh A-MSDU receive path fails to parse A-MSDU packets
on mesh interfaces, because it assumes that the Mesh Control field is always
directly after the 802.11 header.
802.11-2020 9.3.2.2.2 Figure 9-70 shows that the Mesh Control field is
actually part of the A-MSDU subframe header.
This makes more sense, since it allows packets for multiple different
destinations to be included in the same A-MSDU, as long as RA and TID are
still the same.
Another issue is the fact that the A-MSDU subframe length field was apparently
accidentally defined as little-endian in the standard.
In order to fix this, the mesh forwarding path needs happen at a different
point in the receive path.
ieee80211_data_to_8023_exthdr is changed to ignore the mesh control field
and leave it in after the ethernet header. This also affects the source/dest
MAC address fields, which now in the case of mesh point to the mesh SA/DA.
ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s is changed to deal with the endian difference and
to add the Mesh Control length to the subframe length, since it's not covered
by the MSDU length field.
With these changes, the mac80211 will get the same packet structure for
converted regular data packets and unpacked A-MSDU subframes.
The mesh forwarding checks are now only performed after the A-MSDU decap.
For locally received packets, the Mesh Control header is stripped away.
For forwarded packets, a new 802.11 header gets added.

Userspace processes such as network daemons may wish to be informed when
any AP interface is brought up on the system, for example to initiate a
(re)configuration of IP settings or to start a DHCP server.
Currently nl80211 does not broadcast any such event on its multicast
groups, leaving userspace only two options:
1. the process must be the one that actually issued the
NL80211_CMD_START_AP request, so that it can react on the response to
that request;
2. the process must react to RTM_NEWLINK events indicating a change in
carrier state, and may query for further information about the AP and
react accordingly.
Option (1) is robust, but it does not cover all scenarios. It is easy to
imagine a situation where this is not the case (e.g. hostapd +
systemd-networkd).
Option (2) is not robust, because RTM_NEWLINK events may be silently
discarded by the linkwatch logic (cf. linkwatch_fire_event()).
Concretely, consider a scenario in which the carrier state flip-flops in
the following way:
^ carrier state (high/low = carrier/no carrier)
|
| _______ _______ ...
| | | |
| ______| "foo" |____| "bar" (SSID in "quotes")
|
+-------A-------B----C---------> time
If the time interval between (A) and (C) is less than 1 second, then
linkwatch may emit only a single RTM_NEWLINK event indicating carrier
gain.
This is problematic because it is possible that the network
configuration that should be applied is a function of the AP's
properties such as SSID (cf. SSID= in systemd.network(5)). As
illustrated in the above diagram, it may be that the AP with SSID "bar"
ends up being configured as though it had SSID "foo".
Address the above issue by having nl80211 emit an NL80211_CMD_START_AP
message on the MLME nl80211 multicast group. This allows for arbitrary
processes to be reliably informed.

space shouldn't enable MLO if the authentication offload request doesn't
indicate the AP MLD address even if the AP is MLO capable.
When MLO is enabled, user space should use the MAC address of the

and driver to use MLD addresses in RA, TA and BSSID fields of the frames
between them, and driver translates the MLD addresses to/from link

Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.
The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
passed into it.
The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass in
a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
"const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be used
no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem from
having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
either.
The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject, objects
as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver core in
this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of paths
where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so marking
them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml with
different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version we
have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of subsystem
maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
- vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates
- sysfs and debugfs documentation updates
- device property updates
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with no
problems, OTHER than some merge issues with other trees that should be
obvious when you hit them (block tree deletes a driver that this tree
modifies, iommufd tree modifies code that this tree also touches). If
there are merge problems with these trees, please let me know.

The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
"const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
either.
The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
- vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates
- sysfs and debugfs documentation updates
- device property updates
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
no problems"
