Commit db3bdcb9c3ff +("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on crypto controlled devices") +has introduced this change. + +Since 4addr AP operation also uses AP/VLAN iftype, this conditional +way of advertising AP/VLAN support has broken 4addr AP mode operation on +crypto controlled devices which do not support VLAN functionality. + +For example: +In the case of ath10k driver, not all firmwares have support for VLAN +functionality but all can support 4addr AP operation. Because AP/VLAN +support is not advertised for these devices, 4addr AP operations are +also blocked. + +Fix this by allowing 4addr opertion on devices which do not advertise +AP/VLAN iftype but which can support 4addr operation (the desicion is +taken based on the wiphy flag WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP). + +Fixes: Commit db3bdcb9c3ff ("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on +crypto controlled devices") +Signed-off-by: Manikanta Pubbisetty <mpubbise@codeaurora.org> +--- + include/net/cfg80211.h | 3 ++- + net/mac80211/util.c | 4 +++- + net/wireless/core.c | 9 +++++++-- + net/wireless/nl80211.c | 10 ++++++++-- + 4 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) + +--- a/include/net/cfg80211.h ++++ b/include/net/cfg80211.h +@@ -3448,7 +3448,8 @@ struct cfg80211_ops { + * on wiphy_new(), but can be changed by the driver if it has a good + * reason to override the default + * @WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP: supports 4addr mode even on AP (with a single station +- * on a VLAN interface) ++ * on a VLAN interface).
