nl80211: properly support split_wiphy_dump for single phys#249
Merged
Conversation
When performing a `NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY` request for a single wiphy with `split_wiphy_dump` set to true, the expectation is that only a single phy object is returned, like when performing the same request without splitting, yet the current implementation returns a sparse array with only the requested phy index populated instead. Fix this issue by special-casing NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY command requests with a set `split_wiphy_dump` attribute. Also implicitly set the `NLM_F_DUMP` flag in this case as it is required for the kernel to send all information. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
