I wonder if we should not just use the same permanent mac address whatever the virtual interface is.

Do we have something similar in other wireless > drivers? Yes, there are at least four driver that generate different MAC addresses for different vifs: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c:3816 drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/cfg80211.c:732 drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/netdev.c:983 drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c:606 (line numbers match 6.11-rc6): For the mac80211 based drivers there are also tricks played to use unique MAC addresses in ieee80211_assign_perm_addr().

Did it had any > reason before? I haven't found a path to get here with priv->bss_type == MWIFIEX_BSS_TYPE_ANY. This function is called from mwifiex_init_new_priv_params() and mwifiex_add_virtual_intf(). Both functions set priv->bss_type to something else or bail out with an error before calling mwifiex_set_mac_address(). It's also called from the ndo_set_mac_address method, but for a registered net device the bss_type should also be set to something meaningful. > > > - > > - mac_addr = old_mac_addr; > > - > > - if (priv->bss_type == MWIFIEX_BSS_TYPE_P2P) { > > - mac_addr |= BIT_ULL(MWIFIEX_MAC_LOCAL_ADMIN_BIT); > > - mac_addr += priv->bss_num; > > - } else if (priv->adapter->priv[0] != priv) { > > - /* Set mac address based on bss_type/bss_num */ > > - mac_addr ^= BIT_ULL(priv->bss_type + 8); > > - mac_addr += priv->bss_num; > > - } > > - } > > + old_mac_addr = ether_addr_to_u64(priv->curr_addr); > > > > - u64_to_ether_addr(mac_addr, priv->curr_addr); > > + ether_addr_copy(priv->curr_addr, new_mac); > > > > /* Send request to firmware */ > > ret = mwifiex_send_cmd(priv, HostCmd_CMD_802_11_MAC_ADDRESS, > > @@ -1015,6 +997,26 @@ int mwifiex_set_mac_address(struct mwifiex_private *priv, > > return 0; > > } > > > > +int mwifiex_set_default_mac_address(struct mwifiex_private *priv, > > + struct net_device *dev) > > +{ > > + int priv_num; > > + u8 mac[ETH_ALEN]; > > + > > + ether_addr_copy(mac, priv->adapter->perm_addr); > > + > > + for (priv_num = 0; priv_num < priv->adapter->priv_num; priv_num++) > > + if (priv == priv->adapter->priv[priv_num]) > > + break; > > + > > + if (priv_num) { > > + eth_addr_add(mac, priv_num); > > + mac[0] |= 0x2; > > + } > > Please see my concern on this in the beginning of the email. > > > @@ -1364,10 +1366,6 @@ void mwifiex_init_priv_params(struct mwifiex_private *priv, > > priv->assocresp_idx = MWIFIEX_AUTO_IDX_MASK; > > priv->gen_idx = MWIFIEX_AUTO_IDX_MASK; > > priv->num_tx_timeout = 0; > > - if (is_valid_ether_addr(dev->dev_addr)) > > - ether_addr_copy(priv->curr_addr, dev->dev_addr); > > - else > > - ether_addr_copy(priv->curr_addr, priv->adapter->perm_addr); > > With this change, when mfg_mode is true, priv->curr_addr will be not > initialized. Wanted? Not wanted, just me being ignorant. Let's have a look: priv->adapter->perm_addr is initialized in the response handling of the HostCmd_CMD_GET_HW_SPEC command. This command is only issued when mfg_mode is false, so in mfg mode priv->adapter->perm_addr will be the zero address. The only documentation we have for mfg_mode is: manufacturing mode enable:1, disable:0 I don't know what this really is about, but I could imagine that this is for initial factory bringup when the chip is not parametrized and thus doesn't have a permanent MAC address yet.

It seems like there is some real use case requiring to have different MAC addresses for each virtual interface, and given that mwifiex is already like that, we should keep it that way. It would be interesting to know from NXP if they do provide some guidance on this topic to whoever is using their chips or the reality is what you implemented here that we cannot assume anything on how many MAC addresses are available is just the way it is.

The mwifiex driver tries to derive the MAC addresses of the virtual interfaces from the permanent address by adding the bss_num of the particular interface used. It does so each time the virtual interface is changed from AP to station or the other way round. This means that the devices MAC address changes during a change_virtual_intf call which is pretty unexpected by userspace. Furthermore the driver doesn't use the permanent address to add the bss_num to, but instead the current MAC address increases each time we do a change_virtual_intf. Fix this by initializing the MAC address once from the permanent MAC address during creation of the virtual interface and never touch it again. This also means that userspace can set a different MAC address which then stays like this forever and is not unexpectedly changed by the driver. It is not clear how many (if any) MAC addresses after the permanent MAC address are reserved for a device, so set the locally admistered bit for all MAC addresses modified from the permanent address.
