The tx_control_port op was excluded from the previous commit because
a NULL cookie was affecting different behavior, ie. signalling that
no TX status is wanted.
Since cfg80211_assign_cookie() guarantees a non-zero value, cookie value
0 can be used instead. So pass 0 when dont_wait_for_ack is set, otherwise
pass value returned from cfg80211_assign_cookie() call.

The remain_on_channel, mgmt_tx, and probe_peer ops previously used
a u64 *cookie output parameter. Now that cfg80211 pre-assigns the
cookie value before invoking drivers, the parameter conveys a value
from caller to driver, not the other way around. Convert it to a
plain u64 input parameter across the ops struct (cfg80211.h),
rdev-ops.h wrappers, nl80211.c/mlme.c call sites, mac80211, and
all driver implementations.
The tx_control_port op is excluded: its cookie pointer is nullable
(passed as NULL when dont_wait_for_ack is set), so the nullable
pointer semantics are still required.
Internal mac80211 helpers ieee80211_start_roc_work() and
ieee80211_attach_ack_skb() still take u64 *cookie because they
assign to the pointee; their callers now pass &cookie to take the
address of the local value parameter.
wil6210's internal wil_p2p_listen() is also updated to take u64
cookie since it is called directly from the remain_on_channel
callback.

Having a single place for cookie assignment and keeping that
responsibility in the cfg80211 subsystem is a logical choice as it
handles the userspace nl80211 API. add_nan_func already does this:
cfg80211 calls cfg80211_assign_cookie() before invoking the driver.
Apply the same pattern to remain_on_channel, mgmt_tx, probe_peer and
tx_control_port by pre-assigning the cookie in the nl80211 command
handlers before the rdev_* call. For tx_control_port the cookie is
only pre-assigned when the caller requests an ack (cookie pointer
non-NULL).
Drivers may still overwrite the value for now; subsequent patches will
remove per-driver cookie generation.

The ie_len field in struct mesh_setup stores the length of the
information elements (IEs) buffer. It is currently defined as u8,
which limits the maximum supported length to 255 bytes.
The IE length is derived from memory buffers whose size is naturally
represented by size_t. Using u8 may truncate larger values and can
result in incorrect length handling.
Change ie_len to size_t so it can represent the full buffer length and
match the type commonly used for memory sizes throughout the kernel.

The BSS lookup for an authentication or association request can fail
for three distinct reasons: cfg80211 has no scan entry at all for the
BSSID/channel, an entry exists but is older than
IEEE80211_SCAN_RESULT_EXPIRE (and not held), or a fresh entry exists
but its use_for flags do not allow this use. All three currently
surface as the same generic extack message "Error fetching BSS for
link" on the MLO association path, and as a bare -ENOENT with no
message at all on the authentication and non-MLO association paths.
Since wpa_supplicant logs the extack message verbatim ("nl80211:
kernel reports: ..."), that message is often the only diagnostic a
user sees when an MLO association degrades to fewer links, and it
does not say whether a fresh scan could have helped. In practice the
expired case is common for MLO partner links: 6 GHz is passive-scan
in many regulatory domains, so the partner-link entry is routinely
stale by the time userspace requests the association even though the
link is perfectly usable.
Let __cfg80211_get_bss() take an optional extack and record, during
the same bss_lock walk that fails the lookup, whether any matching
entry was rejected for being expired or for not being usable for the
requested use, and set a distinct message for each case (and a
combined one when different entries were rejected for different
reasons). Reorder the checks in the walk so that an entry's identity
(type, privacy, channel, BSSID/SSID) is established before the
usability checks; this doesn't change which entry is returned since
an entry is only used when all checks pass.
Also give the -EINVAL paths in nl80211_assoc_bss() proper messages
while at it, and keep pointing the bad_attr at the failing link on
the MLO path there; the message for that case is already set by the
lookup itself.

nl80211_netlink_notify() walks the cfg80211 wireless device list when a
NETLINK_GENERIC socket is released. If the socket owns a connection, the
notifier queues the embedded wdev->disconnect_wk work item.
That work is a plain work_struct today. NETDEV_GOING_DOWN cancels it, but a
NETLINK_URELEASE notifier that already observed conn_owner_nlportid can
queue it after that cancel returns. _cfg80211_unregister_wdev() then
removes the wdev from the list and waits for RCU readers, but
synchronize_net() does not drain work queued by such a reader.
Make the autodisconnect work a wiphy_work instead. The callback already
needs the wiphy mutex, and wiphy_work runs under that mutex. This lets
teardown cancel pending autodisconnect work while holding the mutex,
without a cancel_work_sync() vs. worker locking concern.
Also cancel the wiphy work after list_del_rcu() and synchronize_net(). Any
NETLINK_URELEASE notifier that had already reached the wdev list has then
either queued the work and it is removed, or can no longer find the wdev.

When a netlink socket that owns a PMSR session is closed,
cfg80211_release_pmsr() clears the request's nl_portid and queues
pmsr_free_wk to call cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort() asynchronously.
If the interface tears down concurrently, cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down()
is called under wiphy_lock and calls cancel_work_sync(&pmsr_free_wk)
to wait for any running work. The work function acquires wiphy_lock
via guard(wiphy) before calling process_abort.
This is a deadlock: wdev_down holds wiphy_lock and blocks inside
cancel_work_sync(); pmsr_free_wk blocks trying to acquire that same
wiphy_lock. Neither thread can proceed.
The same deadlock is reachable from cfg80211_leave_locked(), which
calls cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() for all interface types under
wiphy_lock.
Fix this by converting pmsr_free_wk from a plain work_struct to a
wiphy_work. The wiphy_work dispatcher holds wiphy_lock when running
work items, so the explicit guard(wiphy) in the work function is no
longer needed. wiphy_work_cancel() can be called safely while holding
wiphy_lock - since wiphy_lock prevents the work from running
concurrently, wiphy_work_cancel() never blocks, eliminating the
deadlock.
Remove the cancel_work_sync() for pmsr_free_wk from the
NETDEV_GOING_DOWN handler. cfg80211_leave(), called unconditionally
just before it, already cancels any pending work under wiphy_lock
via wiphy_work_cancel() inside cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down().

Currently, the proximity detection (PD) interface type has no
start/stop commands defined, preventing user space from
controlling PD operations through the nl80211 interface.
Add NL80211_CMD_START_PD and NL80211_CMD_STOP_PD commands to
allow user space to start and stop a PD interface. Add the
corresponding start_pd and stop_pd operations to cfg80211_ops
and ieee80211_ops, along with nl80211 command handlers, rdev
wrappers, and tracing support. Validate that drivers advertising
PD interface support implement the required operations. Handle
PD interface teardown during device unregistration and when
the interface leaves the network.

Currently the remain_on_channel operation does not support
filtering incoming frames by destination MAC address. This
prevents use cases such as PASN authentication in the
responder side that need to receive frames addressed to a
specific MAC during the off-channel period.
Add an rx_addr parameter to the remain_on_channel operation
callback and propagate it through the call chain from nl80211
to driver implementations. Introduce the extended feature
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_ROC_ADDR_FILTER as a capability gate so
that cfg80211 rejects the request if the driver does not
advertise support for address filtering. Extract the address
from the NL80211_ATTR_MAC attribute when provided in the
netlink message and update the tracing infrastructure to
include the address in remain_on_channel trace events. The
rx_addr parameter is optional and can be NULL, maintaining
backward compatibility with existing drivers.

In SME-in-driver mode, the driver handles the entire (re)association
exchange. Userspace (e.g., wpa_supplicant) currently has no explicit
indication of whether the (re)association exchange was encrypted,
making it difficult to distinguish EPP (Enhanced Privacy Protection,
IEEE 802.11bi) associations from non-EPP associations.
When (Re)Association frame encryption is used, the (Re)Association
Response frame must contain a Key Delivery element as specified in
IEEE P802.11bi/D4.0, Table 9-65. Userspace must process this element
only when the (Re)Association Response frame is actually encrypted.
Processing it unconditionally for unencrypted frames leads to incorrect
behavior. Without an explicit indication from the driver, userspace
cannot determine whether encryption was used and whether the Key
Delivery element is valid.
Add a new flag attribute NL80211_ATTR_ASSOC_ENCRYPTED and a
corresponding field "assoc_encrypted" in cfg80211_connect_resp_params
to indicate that both the (Re)Association Request and Response frames
are transmitted encrypted over the air.
For mac80211-based drivers, extend cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp_data with
the assoc_encrypted field as well, which is then propagated to
cfg80211_connect_resp_params.
Pass the flag to userspace via NL80211_CMD_CONNECT event.

The HT/VHT/HE/EHT/UHR operation can change, and might thus be
updated on each beacon update. Move them to the beacon struct
and parse them out of the beacon also on updates, not just on
starting the AP.
This also fixes checks in two ways:
- Regulatory checks in nl80211_validate_ap_phy_operation() are
now done also on updates, disallowing enabling HE/EHT/UHR on
channels that don't allow that after start. This checks only
operation now, but clients can't use it without operation.
- NL80211_ATTR_UHR_OPERATION is now required whenever UHR is
present in the beacon, and rejected otherwise.

If all available channel resources are used for NAN channels, and one of
them is shared with another interface, and that interface needs to move
to a different channel (for example STA interface that needs to do a
channel or a link switch), then the driver can evacuate one of the NAN
channels (i.e. detach it from its channel resource and announce to the
peers that this channel is ULWed). In that case, the driver needs to
notify user space about the channel evacuation, so the user space can
adjust the local schedule accordingly.
Add a notification to let userspace know about it.

Add an NL80211 command to configure the NAN schedule of a NAN peer.
Such a schedule contains a list of NAN channels, and a mapping from each
time slots to the corresponding channel (or unscheduled).
Also contains more information about the schedule, such as sequence ID
and map ID.
Not all of the restrictions are validated in this patch. In particular,
comparison of two maps of the same peer requires storing/retrieving each
map of each peer, only for validation.
Therefore, it is the responsibilty of the driver to check that.

There are 2 types of logical links with a NAN peer:
- management (NMI), which is used for Tx/Rx of NAN management frames.
- data (NDI), which is used for Tx/Rx of data frames, or non-NAN
management frames.
The NMI station has two roles:
- representation of the NAN peer - for example, the peer's schedule
and the HT, VHT, HE capabilities - belong to the NMI station, and not to
the NDI ones.
- Tx/Rx of NAN management frames to/from the peer.
The NDI station is used for Tx/Rx data frames of a specific NDP that was
established with the NAN peer.
Note that a peer can choose to reuse its NMI address as the NDI address.
In that case, it is expected that two stations will be added even though
they will have the same address.
- An NDI station can only be added after the corresponding NMI station
was configured with capabilities.
- All the NDI stations will be removed before the NDI interface is brought
down.
- All NMI stations will be removed before NAN is stopped.
- Before NMI sta removal, all corresponding NDI stations will be removed
Add support for adding, removing, and changing NMI and NDI stations.

In NAN, unlike in other modes, there is only one set of (HT, VHT, HE)
capabilities that is used for all channels (and bands) used in the NAN
data path.
This set of capabilities will have to be a special one, for example - have
the minimum of (HT-for-5 GHz, HT-for-2.4 GHz), careful handling of the
bits that have a different meaning for each band, etc.
While we could use the exiting sband/iftype capabilities, and require
identical capabilities for all bands (makes no sense since this means
that we will have VHT capabilities in the 2.4 GHz slot),
or require that only one of the sbands will be set,
or have logic to extract the minimum and handle the conflicting bits -
it seems simpler to add a dedicated set of capabilities which is special
for NAN, and is band agnostic, to be populated by the driver.
That way we also let the driver decide how it wants to handle the
conflicting bits.
Add this special set of these capabilities to wiphy:nan_capabilities, to be
populated by the driver.
Send it to user space.

It is used for data communication with NAN peers.
Note that the existing NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN interface, which is the NAN
Management Interface (NMI), is used for management communication.
An NDI interface is started when a new NAN data path is about to
be established, and is stopped after the NAN data path is terminated.
- An NDI interface can only be started if the NMI is running, and NAN is
started.
- Before the NMI is stopped, the NDI interfaces will be stopped.

Add an nl80211 API to allow user space to configure the local NAN
schedule.
The local schedule consists of a list of channel definitions and a schedule
map, in which each element covers a time slot and indicates on what
channel the device should be in that time slot.
Channels can be added to schedule even without being scheduled, for
reservation purposes.
A schedule can be configured either immedietally or be deferred, in case
there are already connected peers.
When the deferred flag is set, the command is a request from the device
to perform an announced schedule update: send the updated NAN
Availability - as set in this command - to the peers, and do the
actual switch to the new schedule on the right time (i.e. at the end of
the slot after the slot in which the update was sent to the peers).
In addition, a notification will be sent to indicate a deferred update
completion.
