There is a requirement to exit EMLSR if there wasn't enough throughput
in the secondary link.
This is checked in check_tpt_wk, which runs every 5 seconds in a high
throughput scenario (when the throughput blocker isn't set)
It can happen that this worker is running immediately after we entered
EMLSR, and in that case the secondary link didn't have a chance to have
throughput. In that case we will exit EMLSR for no good reason.
Fix this by tracking the time we entered EMLSR, and in the worker make
sure that 5 seconds passed from when we entered EMLSR. If not, don't
check the secondary link throughput.

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.

There are a number of MAC parameters that are in the iwl_cfg
(which is the last config matched to the MAC/RF combination).
This isn't necessary, there are many more of those than MACs,
so move (most of) the data into the MAC family config struct.
Note that DCCM information remains for use by older devices,
and on 9000 series it'll be in struct iwl_cfg but be ignored
when the CRF is in a Qu/So platform.

If there is an ongoing scan that lasts long, the MPDU counters may not
increase enough due the device being busy with scanning and not
because we are in a low throughput scenario.
In that case we don't want to block EMLSR.
Instead, stop checking the counters from the moment we started
scanning, and when the scan ends - clear the counters and schedule a
check in 5 seconds, as usual.
Note that this is only done for regular scan since MLO scan is too short
to affect the counters, and scheduled scan is mainly used when we are
not connected.
Also note that we only stop checking whether to block EMLSR, and not if to
unblock.

From the moment that we have ALIVE, we can receive notification that
are handled asynchronously.
Some notifications (for example iwl_rfi_support_notif) requires an
operational FW. So we need to make sure that they were handled in
iwl_op_mode_mld_start before we stop the FW. Flush the async_handlers_wk
there to achieve that.
Also, if loading the FW in op mode start failed, we need to cancel
these notifications, as they are from a dead FW.
More than that, not doing so can cause us to access freed memory
if async_handlers_wk is executed after ieee80211_free_hw is called.
Fix this by canceling all async notifications if a failure occurred in
init (after ALIVE).

iwl_mld_remove_link removes the link from both the FW and from the
driver.
If removing it from the FW failed, we assume that the FW is
dead anyway and remove it from the driver as well.
On the other hand, we still return an error value, indicating the caller
(i.e. mac80211) that the link couldn't be removed - while it was
actually removed.
Later, mac80211 might tell the driver again to remove that link,
and then the driver will warn that it doesn't exist.
Fix this by making iwl_mld_remove_link a void function.

Due to the iwl_mld_get_chandef_from_chanctx() logic, even after
the OMI handshake to reduce bandwidth the driver wouldn't apply
that to the PHY context, since it always uses the normal, not
the reduced, configuration on 6 GHz (not strictly always, but
OMI will only apply if the original bandwidth is > 80 MHz.) Fix
this by making that selection contingent on AP mode. Refactor
the code a bit to also make it clearer why the min_def isn't
used in that case (for FILS.)

iwlwifi is the driver of all Intel wifi devices since 2008.
Since then, the hardware has changed a lot, but the firmware
API has changed even more. The need to keep one driver that
supports all those different APIs led us to introduce a new
architecture circa 2012 which allowed us to keep the same
interface to the hardware (DMAs, Tx queues, etc...) with a
new layer to implement the mid-layer between mac80211 and
the firmware. The first component is called the 'transport'
and the latter is called 'operation_mode' a.k.a op_mode.
In 2013 we took advantage of the new architecture to
introduce iwlmvm which allowed us to implement the, then,
new firmware API. This op_mode supports 7260 and up, those
devices supports support at least VHT.
Since then, wifi evolved and so did the firmware. It became
much bigger and took a lot of functionality from the driver.
It became increasingly hard to keep the same op_mode for the
newest devices and we experienced frequent regressions on
older devices. In order to avoid those regressions and keep
the code maintainable, we decided it was about time to start
a new op_mode.
iwlmld is a new op_mode that supports BE200 or newer if the
firmware being used is 97.ucode or newer. If the user has
an older devices or BE200 with .96.ucode, iwlmvm will be
loaded. Of course, this op_mode selection is seamless.
All the features supported in iwlmvm are supported in
iwlmld besides a few seldom used use cases: injection and
Hotspot 2.0. Those are under work.
A few points about the implementation:
* iwlmld doesn't have any mutexes, it relies on the
wiphy_lock
* iwlmld is more "resource oriented": stations, links and
interfaces are allocated and freed only after all the
relevant flows are completed.
* Firmware notifications' sizes are validated in a more
structured way.
We would love to see this new op_mode merged in 6.15. The
firmware for this new driver (.97.ucode) is not yet publicly
available but it'll be sent very soon.
People eager to get an early version of this firmware can

I've listed the people who directly contributed
code, but many others from various teams have
contributed in other ways.
