Drivers that trigger roaming need to know the lifetime of the configured
PMKSA for deciding whether to trigger the full or PMKSA cache based
authentication. The configured PMKSA is invalid after the PMK lifetime
has expired and must not be used after that and the STA needs to
disassociate if the PMK expires. Hence the STA is expected to refresh
the PMK with a full authentication before this happens (e.g., when
reassociating to a new BSS the next time or by performing EAPOL
reauthentication depending on the AKM) to avoid unnecessary
disconnection.
The PMK reauthentication threshold is the percentage of the PMK lifetime
value and indicates to the driver to trigger a full authentication roam
(without PMKSA caching) after the reauthentication threshold time, but
before the PMK timer has expired. Authentication methods like SAE need
to be able to generate a new PMKSA entry without having to force a
disconnection after this threshold timeout. If no roaming occurs between
the reauthentication threshold time and PMK lifetime expiration,
disassociation is still forced.
The new attributes for providing these values correspond to the dot11
MIB variables dot11RSNAConfigPMKLifetime and
dot11RSNAConfigPMKReauthThreshold.
This type of functionality is already available in cases where user
space component is in control of roaming. This commit extends that same
capability into cases where parts or all of this functionality is
offloaded to the driver.

Sometimes, userspace is able to detect that a peer silently lost its
state (like, if the peer reboots). wpa_supplicant does this for IBSS-RSN
by registering for auth/deauth frames, but when it detects this, it is
only able to remove the encryption keys of the peer and close its port.
However, the kernel also hold other state about the station, such as BA
sessions, probe response parameters and the like. They also need to be
resetted correctly.
This patch adds the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_DEL_IBSS_STA feature flag
indicating the driver accepts deleting stations in IBSS mode, which
should send a deauth and reset the state of the station, just like in
mesh point mode.

If the nl80211 control port is used before this patch, pre-auth frames
(0x88c7) are send to userspace uncoditionally. While this enables userspace
to only use nl80211 on the station side, it is not always useful for APs.
Furthermore, pre-auth frames are ordinary data frames and not related to
the control port. Therefore it should for example be possible for pre-auth
frames to be bridged onto a wired network on AP side without touching
userspace.
For backwards compatibility to code already using pre-auth over nl80211,
this patch adds a feature flag to disable this behavior, while it remains
enabled by default. An additional ext. feature flag is added to detect this
from userspace.
Thanks to Jouni for pointing out, that pre-auth frames should be handled as
ordinary data frames.

When using control port over nl80211 in AP mode with
pre-authentication, APs need to forward frames to other
APs defined by their MAC address. Before this patch,
pre-auth frames reaching user space over nl80211 control
port have no longer any information about the dest attached,
which can be used for forwarding to a controller or injecting
the frame back to a ethernet interface over a AF_PACKET
socket.
Analog problems exist, when forwarding pre-auth frames from
AP -> STA.
This patch therefore adds the NL80211_ATTR_DST_MAC and
NL80211_ATTR_SRC_MAC attributes to provide more context
information when forwarding.
The respective arguments are optional on tx and included on rx.
Therefore unaware existing software is not affected.

Instead of just having an airtime flag in debugfs, turn AQL into a proper
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE, so drivers can turn it on when they are ready, and so
we also expose the presence of the feature to userspace.
This also has the effect of flipping the default, so drivers have to opt in
to using AQL instead of getting it by default with TXQs. To keep
functionality the same as pre-patch, we set this feature for ath10k (which
is where it is needed the most).
While we're at it, split out the debugfs interface so AQL gets its own
per-station debugfs file instead of using the 'airtime' file.
[Johannes:]
This effectively disables AQL for iwlwifi, where it fixes a number of
issues:
* TSO in iwlwifi is causing underflows and associated warnings in AQL
* HE (802.11ax) rates aren't reported properly so at HE rates, AQL could

drivers are not capable of processing/deriving the DH IE.
A new NL80211 command - NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_OWE_INFO is introduced
to send the request/event between the host driver and user space.
Driver shall provide the OWE info (MAC address and DH IE) of
the peer to user space for cryptographic processing of the DH IE
through the event. Accordingly, the user space shall update the
OWE info/DH IE to the driver.
Following is the sequence in AP mode for OWE authentication.
Driver passes the OWE info obtained from the peer in the
Association Request to the user space through the event
cfg80211_update_owe_info_event. User space shall process the
OWE info received and generate new OWE info. This OWE info is

request. Driver eventually uses this OWE info to send the
Association Response to the peer.
This OWE info in the command interface carries the IEs that include
PMKID of the peer if the PMKSA is still valid or an updated DH IE

Host drivers may offload authentication to the user space
through the commit ("cfg80211: Authentication offload to
user space in AP mode").
This interface can be used to implement SAE by having the
userspace do authentication/PMKID key derivation and driver
handle the association.
A step ahead, this interface can get further optimized if the
PMKID is passed to the host driver and also have it respond to
the association request by the STA on a valid PMKID.
This commit enables the userspace to pass the PMKID to the host
drivers through the set/del pmksa operations in AP mode.
Set/Del pmksa is now restricted to STA/P2P client mode only and
thus the drivers might not expect them in any other(AP) mode.
This commit also introduces a feature flag
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_AP_PMKSA_CACHING (johannes: renamed) to

commit 40cbfa9021 ("cfg80211/nl80211: Optional authentication
offload to userspace")' introduced authentication offload to user
space by the host drivers in station mode. This commit extends
the same for the AP mode too.
Extend NL80211_ATTR_EXTERNAL_AUTH_SUPPORT to also claim the
support of external authentication from the user space in AP mode.
A new flag parameter is introduced in cfg80211_ap_settings to
intend the same while "start ap".
Host driver to use NL80211_CMD_FRAME interface to transmit and
receive the authentication frames to / from the user space.
Host driver to indicate the flag NL80211_RXMGMT_FLAG_EXTERNAL_AUTH
while sending the authentication frame to the user space. This
intends to the user space that the driver wishes it to process
the authentication frame for certain protocols, though it had
initially advertised the support for SME functionality.
User space shall accordingly do the authentication and indicate
its final status through the command NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH.
Allow the command even if userspace doesn't include the attribute
NL80211_ATTR_SSID for AP interface.
Host driver shall continue with the association sequence and
indicate the STA connection status through cfg80211_new_sta.
To facilitate the host drivers in AP mode for matching the pmkid
by the stations during the association, NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH
is also enhanced to include the pmkid to drivers after
the authentication.
This pmkid can also be used in the STA mode to include in the
association request.
Also modify nl80211_external_auth to not mandate SSID in AP mode.

There was no such capability advertisement from the driver and thus the
current user space has to assume the driver to support all the AKMs. While
that may be the case with some drivers (e.g., mac80211-based ones), there
are cfg80211-based drivers that implement SME and have constraints on
which AKMs can be supported (e.g., such drivers may need an update to
support SAE AKM using NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH). Allow such drivers to
advertise the exact set of supported AKMs so that user space tools can
determine what network profile options should be allowed to be configured.

This adds TX airtime statistics to the cfg80211 station dump (to go along
with the RX info already present), and adds a new parameter to set the
airtime weight of each station. The latter allows userspace to implement
policies for different stations by varying their weights.

Currently radar detection and corresponding channel switch is handled
at the AP device. STA ignores these detected radar events since the
radar signal can be seen mostly by the AP as well. But in scenarios where
a radar signal is seen only at STA, notifying this event to the AP which
can trigger a channel switch can be useful.
Stations can report such radar events autonomously through Spectrum
management (Measurement Report) action frame to its AP. The userspace on
processing the report can notify the kernel with the use of the added
NL80211_CMD_NOTIFY_RADAR to indicate the detected event and inturn adding
the reported channel to NOL.

When userspace is controlling mesh routing, it may have better
knowledge about whether a mesh STA is connected to a mesh
gate than the kernel mpath table. Add dot11MeshConnectedToMeshGate
to the mesh config so that such applications can explicitly
signal that a mesh STA is connected to a gate, which will then
be advertised in the beacon.
