    cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinations · 7527a782
    Johannes Berg 提交于
    Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211.
    This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are
    that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are
    implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that
    the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all
    drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all).
    
    When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will
    be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported
    this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using
    the info should do if the kernel didn't export it).
    
    Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't
    fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW
    types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle
    AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211.
