Subject: [PATCH mt76-next 19/25] wifi: mt76: restart the beacon monitor of a link that gets a chanctx again
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 13:23:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028122403.796394-19-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028122403.796394-1-nbd@nbd.name>
mt7996_vif_link_remove() keeps a station link when its chanctx is
unassigned, for example when mac80211 deactivates the link. The link
keeps its beacon_mon_interval and the beacon_mon_last of its last
beacon. When the link is activated again, mt7996_vif_link_add() takes
the reuse branch, which does not touch the beacon monitor. Unless a
beacon on that link arrives first, the next mt76_beacon_mon_check()
reports a beacon loss for the stale timestamp, and the station
disconnects:
sta-mld0: CTRL-EVENT-BEACON-LOSS
sta-mld0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=a0:ad:9f:70:fb:4a reason=4 locally_generated=1
Reset beacon_mon_last whenever a link gets a chanctx, which
mt76_switch_vif_chanctx() already did after a channel switch. Do it
before the link points to the chanctx, since mt76_beacon_mon_check()
runs without dev->mutex and can see the link while vif_link_add() waits
for the firmware.
