Subject: [PATCH wireless-next 2/5] wifi: cfg80211: Add helper to pack station-level STA_INFO
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 23:29:09 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607175912.2266215-3-praneesh.p@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260607175912.2266215-1-praneesh.p@oss.qualcomm.com>
Add a helper function nl80211_put_sta_info_common() to pack the
station-level (aggregated) STA information into a netlink message.
This prepares the code for future enhancements such as supporting
fragmented link statistics in nl80211_dump_station.
