The mac80211_hwsim driver hard codes its supported interface types. For testing purposes it would be valuable to allow changing these supported types in order to simulate actual drivers than support a limited set of iftypes. A new attribute was added to allow this: - HWSIM_ATTR_IFTYPE_SUPPORT A u32 bit field of supported NL80211_IFTYPE_* bits This will only enable/disable iftypes that mac80211_hwsim already supports. In order to accomplish this, the ieee80211_iface_limit structure needed to be built dynamically to only include limit rules for iftypes that the user requested to enable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
