In theory, each device that supports WMM (or the IEEE 802.11 QoS for
that matter) is expected to advertise how many replay counters it
supports and the peer device is supposed to use that information to
restrict the total number of different MSDU priorities (AC/UP) that
might be used. In practice, this is not really done in deployed devices
and instead, it is just assumed that everyone supports the eight
different replay counters so that there is no need to restrict which
MSDU priorities can be used.
hostapd implementation of WMM has advertised support for 16 PTKSA replay
counters from the beginning while wpa_supplicant has not had any code
for setting the supported replay counter fields in RSNE, i.e., has left
the value to 0 which implies that only a single replay counter is
supported. While this does not really result in any real issues with
deployed devices, this is not really correct behavior based on the
current IEEE 802.11 standard and the WMM specification.
Update wpa_supplicant to use similar design to the hostapd RSNE
generation by setting the number of supported PTKSA replay counters to
16 whenever WMM is enabled. For now, this is done based on the
association being for HT/VHT/HE/EHT and also based on the AP supporting
WMM since it is much more likely for the local device to support WMM and
eight replay counters (which can be indicated only with the value that
implies support for 16 counters since there is no separate value for 8).
