Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] wifi: cfg80211: tests: check BSS lookup failure reasons
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 20:11:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721181158.3004022-3-loukot@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721181158.3004022-1-loukot@gmail.com>
Add a KUnit test for the extack failure reasons that
__cfg80211_get_bss() now reports: no matching scan entry at all, a
matching entry that is expired, and a matching entry whose use_for
flags do not allow the requested use. Also cover the cases that must
not report a failure (a fresh entry, and an expired-but-held entry),
the precedence for an entry that is both expired and unusable, and
the cross-entry precedence when one matching entry is expired and
another is current but unusable.
