+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.

+Currently, reset connection monitor (ieee80211_sta_reset_conn_monitor())

+
+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.
