Add Static RU Puncturing feature for AP mode. This patchset is dependent on
the following RFC:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20220325140859.e48bf244f157.I3547481d49f958389f59dfeba3fcc75e72b0aa6e@changeid/
This feature has been tested

wifi: cfg80211: RU puncturing bitmap
wifi: nl80211: validate RU puncturing bitmap

From: Aloka Dixit <[email protected]>
RU preamble puncturing is allowed for bandwidths more than 80 MHz
except 80+80. Drivers may not support puncturing at all or have
restrictions for a minimum bandwidth.
Add new attribute NL80211_ATTR_RU_PUNCT_SUPP_BW to advertise the
driver support to the userspace. Default value (0) will indicate that
RU puncturing is not supported.

Add new attributes NL80211_ATTR_RU_PUNCT_BITMAP and
NL80211_ATTR_RU_PUNCT_SUPP_HE to receive RU puncturing information
from the userspace.
- Bitmap consists of 16 bits, each bit corresponding to a 20 MHz
channel in the operating bandwidth. Lowest bit corresponds to
the lowest frequency. Validate the bitmap against the minimum
bandwidth support advertised by the driver.
- HE support flag indicates whether OFDMA puncturing patterns
should be considered during validation.

I see why you did this (cfg80211) but can't say I like it since in
netlink terms we'd just not include the attribute in that case ...

Btw why is this a minimum bandwidth - couldn't this be a bitmap of
bandwidths for example? I mean, is there a technical requirement that if
you do it in 80, you can do it in 160? It's probably true in general,
but maybe we can just completely avoid defining the new enum by saying
u32 puncturing_widths;
and put there BIT(NL80211_CHAN_WIDTH_80), BIT(NL80211_CHAN_WIDTH_160)
and BIT(NL80211_CHAN_WIDTH_320) - and maybe even
BIT(NL80211_CHAN_WIDTH_80P80) which could conceivably be harder/less
supported, and you haven't covered (is it part of your 80+, 160+ or not
covered at all?)
That way also 0 == not supported in cfg80211.

Why _supp_he and not _supp_ofdma? Is it restricted to HE? What about
EHT?
I'm also not really sure what that kernel-doc means for the _supp_he
part?
Also this patch is basically empty - please squash appropriately.

I feel like at least in the API we should make that bigger already,
maybe U32 or even U64, at some point they're going to come up with wider
channels... should use NLA_RANGE or something to restrict it for now
though.

That doesn't even compile, right? :)
But you can get rid of the 'change' variable entirely.

Frankly I'm not happy for this to be stuck into set_interface() like
that - can we add it to set_channel() only or something? At least there
should be too? And read it only if the channel is actually touched? This
feels very ad-hoc.

"initially" is a bit of a problem, right?

I mean this can happen at any point in time due to the way you've wired
it up in nl80211 (which I'm not happy about), and then ... it just gets
ignored.

Why grab only one of them here? In fact why grab them at all?
I think you really need to work on the API here.
Also this completely ignores links ... so it's wrong for that too. Must
use link_conf->...

Hi Johannes,
I will work on these comments.
Secondly, this RFC uses ieee80211_valid_disable_subchannel_bitmap()
defined in following RFC you sent:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20220325140859.e48bf244f157.I3547481d49f958389f59dfeba3fcc75e72b0aa6e@changeid/
Is there is any plan for the next version?
If not, I can move the validation function defined in cfg80211 to
mac80211 from the following patch-set:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/[email protected]/
You had asked me about exporting this during the review as well.
Please let me know so that I can incorporate accordingly.
Thanks.

Yes, I saw that.
> Is there is any plan for the next version?
Am I correct that by basing your work here on top of that, you're OK
with that being included, and we've concluded the discussion about where
and how the puncturing bitmap should be stored? This patchset was an
RFC, I'm personally happy with the design, but really also want to hear
your opinion and perspective on it.
Anyway if that's the case then I'll go and resubmit the patch - we also
made some more fixes to it since, I think. I'm not sure I'll get to it
today, but I'll do it soon.

Yes, we are okay with the bitmap being part of the bss_conf/link_conf.
Please send the new version with fixes as soon as you can, I'm still
looking into your comments regarding the design Muna sent.
