Subject: [PATCH ath-next] wifi: ath11k: raise max vdevs to 4 on hardware with P2P and dual-station support
Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 19:07:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525020711.2590815-1-wei.zhang@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
When P2P support is enabled, wpa_supplicant creates a p2p-device
interface by default, which implicitly consumes one vdev. On systems
managed by NetworkManager, this interface cannot be reliably disabled,
leaving only two usable interfaces for user configurations.
Increase num_vdevs to four for QCA6390 hw2.0, WCN6855 hw2.0/hw2.1,
QCA2066 hw2.1, and QCA6698AQ hw2.1 to account for the implicit
p2p-device and enable common concurrency scenarios such as AP + AP + STA.
This change increases interface concurrency in the two-channel scenario
by raising the maximum vdev limit, while keeping other combination rules
unchanged.
Tested-on: QCA6390 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HST.1.0.1-05266-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1
Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.41
Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-04685-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_IOE-1
Tested-on: QCA2066 hw2.1 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03926.13-QCAHSPSWPL_V2_SILICONZ_CE-2.52297.9
Tested-on: QCA6698AQ hw2.1 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-04685-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_IOE-1
