Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: Add link iteration macro for link data
with rcu_dereference
Currently, the existing macro for_each_link_data() uses sdata_dereference()
which requires the wiphy lock. This lock cannot be used in atomic or RCU
read-side contexts, such as in the RX path.
Introduce a new macro, for_each_link_data_rcu(), that iterates over link of
sdata using rcu_dereference(), making it safe to use in RCU contexts. This
allows callers to access link data without requiring the wiphy lock.
The macro takes into account the vif.valid_links bitmap and ensures only
valid links are accessed safely. Callers are responsible for ensuring that
rcu_read_lock() is held when using this macro.

Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: extend beacon monitoring for MLO
Currently, reset beacon monitor (ieee80211_sta_reset_beacon_monitor())
timer is handled only for non-AP non-MLD STA and do not support non-AP MLD
STA. When the beacon loss occurs in non-AP MLD STA with the current
implementation, it is treated as a single link and the timer will reset
based on the timeout of the deflink, without checking all the links.
Check the CSA flags for all the links in the MLO and decide whether to
schedule the work queue for beacon loss. If any of the links has CSA
active, then beacon loss work is not scheduled.
Also, call the functions ieee80211_sta_reset_beacon_monitor() and
ieee80211_sta_reset_conn_monitor() from ieee80211_csa_switch_work() only
when all the links are CSA active.

Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: extend connection monitoring for MLO
Currently, reset connection monitor (ieee80211_sta_reset_conn_monitor())
timer is handled only for non-AP non-MLD STA and do not support non-AP MLD
STA. The current implementation checks for the CSA active and update the
monitor timer with the timeout value of deflink and reset the timer based
on the deflink's timeout value else schedule the connection loss work when
the deflink is timed out and it won't work for the non-AP MLD STA.
Handle the reset connection monitor timer for non-AP MLD STA by updating
the monitor timer with the timeout value which is determined based on the
link that will expire last among all the links in MLO. If at least one link
has not timed out, the timer is updated accordingly with the latest timeout
value else schedule the connection loss work when all links have timed out.
Remove the MLO-related WARN_ON() checks in the beacon and connection
monitoring logic code paths as they support MLO now.
