Subject: [PATCH 13/23] wifi: mt76: mt7925: do not deactivate shared NAN BSS on peer STA removal
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 16:02:55 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927210306.737669-14-sean.wang@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927210306.737669-1-sean.wang@kernel.org>
From: Jacobs Wu <jacobs.wu@mediatek.com>
mt7925_mac_sta_remove_links() sent BSS_INFO(active=0) for every vif type
except AP when a peer STA was removed. NAN (nan0) and NAN_DATA (ndi0)
BSSes host multiple peer STAs like an AP does: removing the NMI peer on
NDP teardown deactivated the shared NAN sync BSS in FW, after which FW
dropped every host-initiated NAN mgmt frame (TXM: An MMPDU for an
inactive BSS_INFO) until the next NAN_START. With partial availability
bitmaps this made every NDP re-establishment after a teardown fail
(unicast NAF TXCNT 15/15 no-ack); full bitmaps masked the bug. It also
tears down the shared data BSS while other NDPs on the same NDI live.
Exclude NAN and NAN_DATA vifs like AP.
Verified on 187/235: teardown no longer emits the BSS disable cmd, the
FW drop flood is gone, and half-bitmap re-establishment after
nan_ndp_terminate succeeds repeatedly (was 100% fail).
