cfg80211: Fix dfs state propagation for non-DFS center channel

2017-04-25T19:42:52+00:00

When part of a bigger bandwidth (160 MHz) channel falls in DFS
channel range it is possible that the  center frequency may not
necessarily be a radar channel. Remove the sanity check on channel
flag for IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR in regulatory_propagate_dfs_state(),
this should fix the dfs state propagation for non-DFS center freq
which has DFS channels in it's bandwidth, should also fix unnecessary
WARN_ON() spam in regulatory_propagate_dfs_state().

cfg80211: Share Channel DFS state across wiphys of same DFS domain

2017-03-06T12:54:20+00:00

Sharing DFS channel state across multiple wiphys (radios) could
be useful with multiple radios on the system. When one radio
completes CAC and markes the channel available another radio
can use this information and start beaconing without really doing
CAC.

Whenever there is a state change in dfs channel associated to
a particular wiphy the the same state change is propagated to
other wiphys having the same DFS reg domain configuration.
Also when a new wiphy is created the dfs channel state of
other existing wiphys of same DFS domain is copied.

cfg80211: Make pre-CAC results valid only for ETSI domain

2017-03-06T12:54:15+00:00

DFS requirement for ETSI domain (section 4.7.1.4 in
ETSI EN 301 893 V1.8.1) is the only one which explicitly
states that once DFS channel is marked as available afer
the CAC, this channel will remain in available state even
moving to a different operating channel. But the same is
not explicitly stated in FCC DFS requirement. Also, Pre-CAC
requriements are not explicitly mentioned in FCC requirement.
Current implementation in keeping DFS channel in available
state is same as described in ETSI domain.

For non-ETSI DFS domain, this patch gives a grace period of 2 seconds
since the completion of successful CAC before moving the channel's
DFS state to 'usable' from 'available' state. The same grace period
is checked against the channel's dfs_state_entered timestamp while
deciding if a DFS channel is available for operation. There is a new
radar event, NL80211_RADAR_PRE_CAC_EXPIRED, reported when DFS channel
is moved from available to usable state after the grace period. Also
make sure the DFS channel state is reset to usable once the beaconing
operation on that channel is brought down (like stop_ap, leave_ibss
and leave_mesh) in non-ETSI domain.

cfg80211: move function checking range fit to util.c

2017-01-06T12:54:04+00:00

It is needed for another cfg80211 helper that will be out of reg.c so
move it to common util.c file and make it non-static.

cfg80211: make wdev_list accessible to drivers

2016-05-12T09:16:40+00:00

There's no harm in having drivers read the list, since they can
use RCU protection or RTNL locking; allow this to not require
each and every driver to also implement its own bookkeeping.

cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band

2016-04-12T13:56:15+00:00

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

cfg80211: remove CFG80211_REG_DEBUG

2016-01-14T10:13:09+00:00

Instead of having this Kconfig option, which just *floods* the
kernel log,
 * remove the per-channel prints that are fairly useless anyway
 * convert the conditional printing to pr_debug()

regulatory: fix world regulatory domain data

2016-01-14T10:10:13+00:00

The rule definitions here aren't really valid, they would
be rejected if it came from userspace due to the bandwidth
specified being bigger than the rule's width.

This is fairly much inconsequential since the other rules
around them do enable the bandwidth, but express that better
using the NL80211_RRF_AUTO_BW flag.

wireless: change cfg80211 regulatory domain info as debug messages

2016-01-14T10:10:11+00:00

cfg80211 module prints a lot of messages like below. Actually printing
once is acceptable but sometimes it will print again and again, it looks
very annoying. It is better to change these detail messages to debugging
only.
