Currently whenever sta_flush() function is called, it flushes all stations
connected to the given interface. However in case of MLO, all the links
would be using the same interface and hence at certain cases flushing all
stations is not desireable.
There is a need to flush the stations based on link ID. This series aims
to add support for the same.
Currently two cases are handled -
1. During NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION command handling. If this is called
without any mac address, all stations present on that interfaces are
flushed. More details in the patch [1/3]
2. During stopping link AP via ieee80211_stop_ap(). Again here, all
stations are flushed. More details in the patch [3/3]
Aditya Kumar Singh (3):

wifi: mac80211: add link id argument for sta_flush() function

2.25.1
Whenever sta_flush() function is invoked, all STAs present in that
interface are flushed. In case of MLO, it is desireable to only flush such
STAs who are at least using a given link id as one of its active links.
Add support for this by making change in the __sta_info_flush API argument
to accept a link ID. And then, only if the STA is using the given link as
one of its active links, it would be flushed.

2.25.1
Currently, whenever AP link is brought down via ieee80211_stop_ap()
function, all stations connected to the sdata are flushed. However, in case
of MLO there is a requirement to flush only stations connected to that link
and not all.
For instance - Consider 2 GHz and 5 GHz are AP MLD. Now due to some reason
5 GHz link of this AP is going down (link removal or any other case). All
stations connected, even legacy stations connected to 2 GHz link AP would
also be flushed. Flushing of other link stations is not desireable.
Fix this issue by passing self link ID to sta_flush() function. This would
then only remove the stations which are still using the passed link
ID as their link sta. Other stations will not be affected.

2.25.1
Currently whenever NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION command is called without any
MAC address, all stations present on that interface are flushed.
However with MLO there is a need to flush such stations only which are
using at least a particular link from the AP MLD interface.
For example - 2 GHz and 5 GHz are part of an AP MLD.
To this interface, following stations are connected -
1. One non-EHT STA on 2 GHz link.
2. One non-EHT STA on 5 GHz link.
3. One Multi-Link STA having 2 GHz and 5 GHz as active links.
Now if currently, NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION is issued by the 2 GHz link
without any MAC address, it would flush all station entries. However,
flushing of station entry #2 at least is not desireable since it
is connected to 5 GHz link alone.
Hence, add an option to pass link ID as well in the command so that if link
ID is passed, stations using that passed link ID alone would be flushed
and others will not.
So after this, station entries #1 and #3 alone would be flushed and #2 will
remain as it is.
