    cfg80211: add peer measurement with FTM initiator API · 9bb7e0f2
    Johannes Berg authored
    
    
    Add a new "peer measurement" API, that can be used to measure
    certain things related to a peer. Right now, only implement
    FTM (flight time measurement) over it, but the idea is that
    it'll be extensible to also support measuring the necessary
    things to calculate e.g. angle-of-arrival for WiGig.
    
    The API is structured to have a generic list of peers and
    channels to measure with/on, and then for each of those a
    set of measurements (again, only FTM right now) to perform.
    
    Results are sent to the requesting socket, including a final
    complete message.
    
    Closing the controlling netlink socket will abort a running
    measurement.
    
    v3:
     - add a bit to report "final" for partial results
     - remove list keeping etc. and just unicast out the results
       to the requester (big code reduction ...)
     - also send complete message unicast, and as a result
       remove the multicast group
     - separate out struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer
       from struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer
     - document timeout == 0 if no timeout
     - disallow setting timeout nl80211 attribute to 0,
       must not include attribute for no timeout
     - make MAC address randomization optional
     - change num bursts exponent default to 0 (1 burst, rather
       rather than the old default of 15==don't care)
    
    v4:
     - clarify NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT documentation
    
    v5:
     - remove unnecessary nl80211 multicast/family changes
     - remove partial results bit/flag, final is sufficient
     - add max_bursts_exponent, max_ftms_per_burst to capability
     - rename "frames per burst" -> "FTMs per burst"
    
    v6:
     - rename cfg80211_pmsr_free_wdev() to cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down()
       and call it in leave, so the device can't go down with any
       pending measurements
    
    v7:
     - wording fixes (Lior)
     - fix ftm.max_bursts_exponent to allow having the limit of 0 (Lior)
    
    v8:
     - copyright statements
     - minor coding style fixes
     - fix error path leak
