When associated BSS completes channel switch procedure, its channel record
needs to be updated. The existing mac80211 solution was extended to
cfg80211 in commit 5dc8cdce1d72 ("mac80211/cfg80211: update bss
channel on channel switch")

However that solution still appears to be incomplete as it may lead
to duplicated scan entries for associated BSS after channel switch.
The root cause of the problem is as follows. Each BSS entry is
included into the following data structures:
- bss list rdev->bss_list
- bss search tree rdev->bss_tree
Updating BSS channel record without rebuilding bss_tree may break
tree search since cmp_bss considers all of the following: channel,
bssid, ssid. When BSS channel is updated, but its location in bss_tree
is not updated, then subsequent search operations may fail to locate
this BSS since they will be traversing bss_tree in wrong direction.
As a result, for scan performed after associated BSS channel switch,
cfg80211_bss_update may add the second entry for the same BSS to both
bss_list and bss_tree, rather then update the existing one.

To summarize, if BSS channel needs to be updated, then bss_tree should
be rebuilt in order to put updated BSS entry into a proper location.

This commit suggests the following straightforward solution:
- if new entry has been already created for BSS after channel switch,
  then use its IEs to update known BSS entry and then remove new
  entry completely
- use rb_erase/rb_insert_bss reinstall updated BSS in bss_tree
- update channel and location in rb-tree for non-transmitting bss entries

Cover email is not attached to patchwork, so duplicate it here as well...

Suggested approach to handle non-transmitting BSS entries is simplified in the
following sense. If new entries have been already created after channel switch,
only transmitting bss will be updated using IEs of new entry for the same
transmitting bss. Non-transmitting bss entries will be updated as soon as
new mgmt frames are received. Updating non-transmitting bss entries seems
too expensive: nested nontrans_list traversing is needed since we can not
rely on the same order of old and new non-transmitting entries.

Basic use-case tested using both iwlwifi and qtnfmac. However multi-BSSID
support has not yet been tested. 

v1 -> v2
- use IEs of new BSS entry to update known BSS entry
  for this purpose extract BSS update code from cfg80211_bss_update
  into a separate function cfg80211_update_known_bss

v2 -> v3
- minor cleanup according to review comments
- split cfg80211_update_known_bss function into a separate patch
- update channel and location in rb-tree for nontransmit bss entries


Regards,
Sergey

Umm, regarding multi-BSSID, I'm clearly just not paying any attention
... sorry about that.


This looks good to me, can you resend as just PATCH?

Thanks,
johannes

Sure, I will rebase on top of latest mac80211-next and resend.
