What is "the application"? Given all our discussions at the summit and my thinking on all of this recently, I'm _very_ tempted to just reject this patchset after all, and ask you to (help) implement appropriate eBPF hooks in the stack that can be used to implement it instead. Why is this better than programmable infrastructure for it? johannes
This patchsets introduced new NL command and api to support configuring rssi for the connected stations and api to notify userspace application upon crossing the configured threshold. This will be useful for the application which requires station's current signal strength change information. Monitoring station's signal strength through station dump command will unnecessarily increase the system overhead. This event based mechanism will reduce the system overhead and helps application to take a decision for the station for which event received.
