[PATCH v2] wifi: ath11k: move power type check to ASSOC stage when connecting to 6 GHz AP

[PATCH v2] wifi: ath11k: move power type check to ASSOC stage when connecting to 6 GHz AP

[Baochen Qiang]

With commit bc8a0fac8677 ("wifi: mac80211: don't set bss_conf in parsing")
ath11k fails to connect to 6 GHz AP.

This is because currently ath11k checks AP's power type in
ath11k_mac_op_assign_vif_chanctx() which would be called in AUTH stage.
However with above commit power type is not available until ASSOC stage.
As a result power type check fails and therefore connection fails.

Fix this by moving power type check to ASSOC stage, also move regulatory
rules update there because it depends on power type.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.30

Fixes: bc8a0fac8677 ("wifi: mac80211: don't set bss_conf in parsing")
Signed-off-by: Baochen Qiang <quic_bqiang@quicinc.com>
---
v2:
 - add check on 'arvif->chanctx.def.chan' in ath11k_mac_op_sta_state()
   to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
 - add 'Fixes:' tag.

Thanks, this seems to fix the crash I saw.

Oh, this fell through the cracks. Commit bc8a0fac8677 was introduced in
v6.9-rc1 so I should have sent this to v6.9 but it's too late now. I'll
need to queue this for v6.10 via wireless tree.

Adding the regression also to regzbot:

I might have missed something, but from here it looks like that hasn't
happened yet. If I missed something or if you are busy with more
critical stuff, feel free to ignore this mail; if it fell through the
cracks again, consider this a friendly reminder that this is still
waiting for processing.

Hi Kalle, with an upcoming patch this regression is expected to be fixed:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240506214536.310434f55f76.I6aca291ee06265e3f63e0f9024ba19a850b53a33@changeid/#t

So here the ath11k fix would not be needed any more once above patch got merged.

But I don't have time to test this, so suggest keeping it pending. We could drop it once above analysis got verified.

Quick question: how does the error actually look like? I noticed a bug
report where someone complained problems connecting "to my Wifi 7 AP on
6GHz band using my Lenovo P14s Gen 4 laptop" and wonder if it's the same
or a different problem: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218838

To quote part of it:

Thx for the update. If that's the way forward I wonder if that change
should have Fixes: and Stable: tags to ensure it ends up in 6.9.y --
ideally rather sooner than later if this is a regression users run into.

What happens if we apply both patch 'wifi: ath11k: move power type check
to ASSOC stage when connecting to 6 GHz AP' and patchset 'wifi:
mac80211: build TPE handling'? In other words, do they conflict from
functionality point of view?

I ask because I suspect Johannes is planning to take patchset 'wifi:
mac80211: build TPE handling' to v6.11 but we should fix the ath11k bug
in v6.10.

BTW for some this patch wasn't in the pending branch but it's there now.

No functional conflict, 6 GHz AP connection would also succeed with both of them applied.

Ok, thanks. In that case I would like take patch 'wifi: ath11k: move
power type check to ASSOC stage when connecting to 6 GHz AP' to
ath-current branch from which it will go to v6.10. Is that ok for
everyone?
