Subject: [PATCH V7 1/2] nl80211: add feature for BSS selection support

Introducing a new feature that the driver can use to
indicate the driver/firmware supports configuration of BSS
selection criteria upon CONNECT command. This can be useful
when multiple BSS-es are found belonging to the same ESS,
ie. Infra-BSS with same SSID. The criteria can then be used to
offload selection of a preferred BSS.

For the GET_WIPHY case there will be not behaviour dependent data.

At least it does not harm to take that into account.

Guess you mean NLA_NESTED.

Because ATTR_BSS_SELECT is used in CMD_GET_WIPHY and CMD_CONNECT the
length of the attribute is not a constant. Or do I only need to put
length in nl80211_policy for userspace-2-kernel direction, ie. for
ATTR_BSS_SELECT in CMD_CONNECT.

> What are you trying to do here?

ATTR_BSS_SELECT will have only a single nested attribute. So I looked at
nla_for_each_nested():

1233 /**
1234 * nla_for_each_attr - iterate over a stream of attributes
1235 * @pos: loop counter, set to current attribute
1236 * @head: head of attribute stream
1237 * @len: length of attribute stream
1238 * @rem: initialized to len, holds bytes currently remaining in stream
1239 */
1240 #define nla_for_each_attr(pos, head, len, rem) \
1241 for (pos = head, rem = len; \
1242 nla_ok(pos, rem); \
1243 pos = nla_next(pos, &(rem)))
1244
1245 /**
1246 * nla_for_each_nested - iterate over nested attributes
1247 * @pos: loop counter, set to current attribute
1248 * @nla: attribute containing the nested attributes
1249 * @rem: initialized to len, holds bytes currently remaining in stream
1250 */
1251 #define nla_for_each_nested(pos, nla, rem) \
1252 nla_for_each_attr(pos, nla_data(nla), nla_len(nla), rem)

So:

nla_for_each_nested(nest, nla, rem)

becomes:
for(nest = nla_data(nla), rem = nla_len(nla); nla_ok(nest, rem); ...)

As there is no need to iterate I just do the for loop initializer and
the loop condition using the if(nla_ok()).

> Regardless of that, EBADF seems like a bad error number.

Ok. Just use EINVAL here as well?

I don't have strong opinion about it so I can change it.

Right, I think what you want can be achieved by just using NLA_NESTED
to make sure it's long enough for nesting anything, and then nla_parse.
I'm pretty sure we do the same in other places, no?

I actually do not see any NLA_NESTED attributes with an explicit length.
As you mentioned the nla_parse() of the nested attribute will validate
the length of the stream so no need to put that in the policy.

Right; there isn't today, but there might be later, so for the
GET_WIPHY case it might be worth just specifying that there will be an
attribute, not that it's NLA_FLAG?

Not that it'll matter much - only when we actually add such could
applications possibly want to parse them :)

Ah. kernel->userspace messages don't use the policy in any way, it's
just for the userspace->kernel message validation, so you can put there
what's needed for CMD_CONNECT and ignore GET_WIPHY.

Maybe we should be less specific here regarding the NLA_FLAG and say
that it will contain attributes for each, indicating which behaviours
are supported, and say there's behaviour-dependent data inside each of
those attributes?

It seems entirely plausible that future behaviours would require their
own sub-capabilities; perhaps that's even the case today for having an
adjustment range for example, not that I think it's really necessary
now.

You should use IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS and remove this.

This isn't quite clear to me. Shouldn't you do this by declaring it
NLA_TESTED in the nl80211_policy?

Actually, not really? you use nla_ok() on the inner (without having
checked at all that it's even long enough btw, since you didn't do the
policy change), but that would already be done by nla_parse() below?

What are you trying to do here?

Regardless of that, EBADF seems like a bad error number.

I'd kinda prefer braces, but maybe that's just me. Surely not a
blocking issue :)
