cfg80211: regulatory: restore proper user alpha2

2015-09-04T12:29:25+00:00

restore_regulatory_settings() should restore alpha2
as computed in restore_alpha2(), not raw user_alpha2 to
behave as described in the comment just above that code.

This fixes endless loop of calling CRDA for "00" and "97"
countries after resume from suspend on my laptop.

Looks like others had the same problem, too:

cfg80211: regulatory: handle 5 and 10 MHz channels properly

2015-08-14T15:48:46+00:00

The original assumption of 20MHz wide channels hasn't been true since
the addition of support for 5 and 10 MHz channels.
Change the code to no longer disable all channels that don't fit into
the 20MHz grid, but instead set the appropriate flags to disable
operation on specific bandwidths.

Merge branch 'mac80211' into mac80211-next

2015-07-17T13:39:41+00:00

This is necessary to merge the new TDLS and mesh patches,
as they depend on some fixes.

wireless: remove superfluous if statement in regulatory code

2015-07-17T13:38:27+00:00

Commit eeca9fce1d71 ('cfg80211: Schedule timeout for all CRDA calls')
left behind a superfluous check after it removed some earlier code.

In reg_process_hint, the test of "treatment == REG_REQ_IGNORE ||
treatment == REG_REQ_ALREADY_SET" is superfluous because the code in the
if-then branch is identical to the code after the if statement.

Coverity CID #1295939

I also removed the unnecessary assignment of treatment in this case,
and added a comment reminding any future patch authors to ensure that
treatment is properly assigned before it is used after the switch.

cfg80211: use RTNL locked reg_can_beacon for IR-relaxation

2015-07-17T13:02:02+00:00

The RTNL is required to check for IR-relaxation conditions that allow
more channels to beacon. Export an RTNL locked version of reg_can_beacon
and use it where possible in AP/STA interface type flows, where
IR-relaxation may be applicable.

wireless: regulatory: reduce log level of CRDA related messages

2015-07-17T12:37:23+00:00

With a basic Linux userspace, the messages "Calling CRDA to update
world regulatory domain" appears 10 times after boot every second or
so, followed by a final "Exceeded CRDA call max attempts. Not calling
CRDA". For those of us not having the corresponding userspace parts,
having those messages repeatedly displayed at boot time is a bit
annoying, so this commit reduces their log level to pr_debug().

cfg80211: change GO_CONCURRENT to IR_CONCURRENT for STA

2015-05-06T13:50:02+00:00

The GO_CONCURRENT regulatory definition can be extended to station
interfaces requesting to IR as part of TDLS off-channel operations.
Rename the GO_CONCURRENT flag to IR_CONCURRENT and allow the added
use-case.

Change internal users of GO_CONCURRENT to use the new definition.

cfg80211: Stop calling crda if it is not responsive

2015-04-01T09:22:38+00:00

Patch eeca9fce1d71a4955855ceb0c3b13c1eb9db27c1 (cfg80211: Schedule
timeout for all CRDA call) introduced a regression, where in case
that crda is not installed (or not configured properly etc.), the
regulatory core will needlessly continue to call it, polluting the
log with the following log:

"cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain"

Fix this by limiting the number of continuous CRDA request failures.

Johannes Berg says:

====================
Lots of updates for net-next; along with the usual flurry
of small fixes, cleanups and internal features we have:
 * VHT support for TDLS and IBSS (conditional on drivers though)
 * first TX performance improvements (the biggest will come later)
 * many suspend/resume (race) fixes
 * name_assign_type support from Tom Gundersen

cfg80211: Process all pending regulatory requests/hints

2015-03-17T10:02:42+00:00

It is possible that there are several regulatory requests
pending, but the processing of the last one does not call
CRDA, and thus the other requests are not handled.

Fix this by rescheduling the work until all requests have
been processed.
