Ok maybe I'm missing something - but can't this erroneously configure
the local HW to 160 MHz when it doesn't even support it, or so?

This is scenario:

1) first ibss HT20 run on 5180
2) second ibss configured HT40+ using 36 channel
3) supplicant detect OBSS and decide to switch 40 and HT40-
4) this code confgure chandef->center_freq1 = 5170
5) reg_can_beacon() then fail and we fall back to NOHT_20

So, with patch we will configure center_freq1 connectly and could work
using HT40, no matter we will configure primary/secondary channel as a
control one.
So, we could have same problems when VHT80 will be used - different
control channels configured. With patch even we have different control
channel configured, will fix this and could connect correctly. I am
not sure this is best option here but allow to work.

I will check this more. But seems chandef (sta chandef) is a local
variable here, not used by the way.
So, our chandef is form cfg80211 (sdata->u.ibss.chandef) and we don't
change this.
Orginaly this sta chandef was used to compare with ibss->chandef.

- if (chandef.center_freq1 !=
- sdata->u.ibss.chandef.center_freq1)
- htcap_ie.cap_info &=
-
cpu_to_le16(~IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40);

But for me this check seems as not needed, eg.
We support VHT80 and other ibss have only HT40 support - so we will
have different center_freq1 - but still could operate, while sta_add
and correct rates for sta configured.
One I think we could check here is, if our chandef and sta chandef overlap.

Anyway, I am not sure I understand your question correctly, you mean eg.
we work in VHT80 mode and other ibss join in VHT160 mode? Does it
really matter while we will use sta_add for this new V160 "station"
and configure supported rates for this station?

I am testing different combinations and TP

HT20 <-> HT40
HT20 <-> VHT80
HT40 <-> VHT80
HT40 <-> VHT80
VHT80 <-> HT20
VHT80 <-> HT40

using ath9k and ath10k. What I see using iw wlan0 info, we always
using chandef we pass from cfg80211.
We also update nss/rates/bw correctly in sta_rc_update().
But anyway will do more tests.

I will check supplicant code then, and maybe skip obss scan when IBSS
already exist in scan results.

Hmm. Must you not get a chandef from cfg80211 so you don't need this
weird roundtrip through chandef_create()?

Anyway this is more of the discussion on patch 1.

Well like I said - I might not understand this correctly. But the
ieee80211_vht_oper_to_chandef() function doesn't - iirc - take into
account local capabilities. As a consequence, if a VHT160 station joins
the chandef might be 160 while we're only supporting 80?

But anyway - I see that at least what I originally thought was wrong -
this code isn't concerned with picking up the channel from the peer to
join the networks together, I guess. That's what I was worried about.
That code I haven't seen and checked though - so perhaps you can look
there if it correctly handles trying to form a network when the peer has
higher capabilities than the local hw.

Sorry, I don't see the bug. "Sometimes"?

cfg80211_get_chandef_type() will return HT40+/- correctly according to
the chandef, and then you'll use it again to create the chandef - should be OK.

Please don't mix chantype stuff and chandef stuff ... just create the
chandef manually if you must. I really think the code above should have
worked though, unless it's using the wrong inputs somehow.
