Subject: Re: [PATCH 4/5] wifi: brcmfmac: Support bss_info up to v112
So, at least in the example code I have, all variants of the 109 and
112 structures both have bcnflags in that place - it was always
missing here.
For example, see
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/google-modules/wlan/bcmdhd/bcm4398/+/refs/heads/android-gs-shusky-5.15-u-qpr1-beta2/include/wlioctl.h
and compare v109 and v112 of bssinfo.
As such, the 109 and 112 structures are compatible given these definitions.
I don't know if what is there right now is wrong, or it is "yet
another variant" of the 109 structure that we need to handle.
Any idea what the ground truth is?
If we need to separate the structures and support 3 variants (2 109
variants, 1 112 variant), we probably need to start figuring out the
more general structure versioning issue.
We just aren't implementing the bigger ones (for example, there are 5
versions of pfn scanresults, and 6 versions of roam profiles. Most are
still in use, AFAIK)
Any thoughts?
For the bss info here, I suspect I could hide most of this, and use a
structure of function pointers + versioned data that returns the
nn-versioned info that is being asked about (IE the same way we do
with buscore, etc).
IE struct bss_info_data {
void *versioned_data;
nl80211_band (*get_band_for_idx)(struct bss_info_data *, u8 idx);
}
Most of the time we are converting it from this structure to 80211 info, etc.
I haven't looked too hard to see if we are really digging around in
this structure, but I would suspect it could be encapsulated.
This would in turn let us avoid using feature flags to control
structure versions (we would just set them after querying the
firmware), and would make it easier to clean up/refactor code.
I'm open to other ideas as well.
