Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: Add mesh peer AID setting API

Previously, mesh peer AID is not reported to kernel when local mesh
STA is created without iw command. The mesh peer AID is needed by
mesh peer power management functionality to identify a AID in a TIM
element.

This patch creates mesh peer AID setting API.

Let's call it peer_aid or mesh_peer_aid or something like that, per my
email on hostapd list. Also you probably saw kbuild robot pointed out
missing documentation for the field.

We need a check against IEEE80211_MAX_AID somewhere.

Yes. I will modify this also.

Sure. I will add a check.

We are already using NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID, though -- one is for the
station's AID (in our TIM, which is NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID) and the new one
is for our AID in the peer's TIM.

There is the NL80211_ATTR_PEER_AID but that seems specific to TDLS and
also doesn't appear to be processed in the necessary way (e.g. overrides
STA_AID in nl80211_new_station).

Why does this need new API all over?

It seems to me that it could just use the regular NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID
attribute, and the cfg80211 code would already be in place, and you'd
just need to add a single line to mac80211 and
to cfg80211_check_station_change() to accept that.

Previously, mesh power management functionality works only with kernel
MPM. Because user space MPM did not report mesh peer AID to kernel,
the kernel could not identify the bit in TIM element. So this patch
adds mesh peer AID setting API.
