Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mac80211: Support dynamic AP mode channel width changes

Implement the new cfg80211 capability to enable mac80211-based drivers
to support for dynamic channel bandwidth changes (e.g., HT 20/40 MHz
changes).

Yeah that seems like a potential issue.

That sounds like you're arguing it should be fixed in a separate patch
to ieee80211_vif_change_bandwidth()? :)

Hm, wait, isn't this addressed by this code in
ieee80211_vif_change_bandwidth():

ctx = container_of(conf, struct ieee80211_chanctx, conf);
if (!cfg80211_chandef_compatible(&conf->def, chandef)) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out;
}

Yeah, you're right.

Shouldn't interface combinations be verified here? What if there was a
bandwidth upgrade (after a downgrade) but in the meantime a vif with a
to-be incompatible chandef was brought up? I think the existing usage
of ieee80211_vif_change_bandwidth() in ieee80211_config_bw() already
suffers from this problem or am I missing something?
