When using control port over nl80211 in AP mode with pre-authentication, APs need to forward frames to other APs defined by their MAC address. Before this patch, pre-auth frames reaching user space over nl80211 control port have no longer any information about the dest attached, which can be used for forwarding to a controller or injecting the frame back to a ethernet interface over a AF_PACKET socket. Analog problems exist, when forwarding pre-auth frames from AP -> STA. This patch therefore adds the NL80211_ATTR_DST_MAC and NL80211_ATTR_SRC_MAC attributes to provide more context information when forwarding. The respective arguments are optional on tx and included on rx. Therefore unaware existing software is not affected. Software which wants to detect this feature, can do so by checking against: NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211_MAC_ADDRS Signed-off-by: NMarkus Theil <markus.theil@tu-ilmenau.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200115125522.3755-1-markus.theil@tu-ilmenau.de [split into separate cfg80211/mac80211 patches] Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
