regulatory_update() just calls wiphy_update_regulatory(). wiphy_update_regulatory() assumes you already have the reg_mutex held so just move the call within locking context and kill the superfluous regulatory_update().

Now that we have wiphy_regulatory_register() we can tuck away the core's regulatory_update() call there and make it static. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
This makes it clearer what we're doing. This now makes a bit more sense given that regardless of the wiphy if the cell base station hint feature is supported we will be modifying the way the regulatory core behaves. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

Cellular base stations can provide hints to cfg80211 about where they think we are. This can be done for example on a cell phone. To enable these hints we simply allow them through as user regulatory hints but we allow userspace to clasify the hint as either coming directly from the user or coming from a cellular base station. This option is only available when you enable CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS. The base station hints themselves will not be processed by the core unless at least one device on the system supports this feature. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This adds CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS which is to be used for features / code which require a bit of work on the system integrator's part to ensure that the system will still pass 802.11 regulatory certification. This option is also usable for researchers and experimenters looking to add code in the kernel without impacting compliant code. We'd use CONFIG_EXPERT alone but it seems that most standard Linux distributions are enabling CONFIG_EXPERT already. This allows us to define 802.11 specific kernel features under a flag that is intended by design to be disabled by standard Linux distributions, and only enabled by system integrators or distributions that have done work to ensure regulatory certification on the system with the enabled features.

While adding regulatory support to ath6kl I noticed that I easily got the regulatory code confused. The way to reproduce the bug was: 1. iw reg set FI (in userspace) 2. cfg80211 calls ath6kl_reg_notify(FI) 3. ath6kl sets regdomain in firmware 4. firmware sends regdomain event to notify about the new regdomain (FI) 5. ath6kl calls regulatory_hint(FI) And this (from FI to FI transition) confuses cfg80211 and after that I only get "Pending regulatory request, waiting for it to be processed...." messages and regdomain changes won't work anymore. The reason why ath6kl calls regulatory_hint() is that firmware can change the regulatory domain by it's own, for example due to 11d IEs. I could of course workaround this in ath6kl but I think it's better to handle the case in cfg80211. The fix is pretty simple, use a different error code if the regdomain is same and then just set the request processed so that it doesn't block new requests.

Let the user configure serveral TX error conection quality monitoring parameters: % error rate, survey interval, and # of attempted packets. On exceeding the TX failure rate over the given interval, the driver will send a CQM notify event with the actual TX failure rate and packets attempted.

In one of my previous patches I erroneously used nla_put_u32 for the wdev_id, fix that to use nla_put_u64. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
