2009-04-16cfg80211: fix NULL pointer deference in reg_device_remove()Luis R. Rodriguez
We won't ever get here as regulatory_hint_core() can only fail on -ENOMEM and in that case we don't initialize cfg80211 but this is technically correct code. This is actually good for stable, where we don't check for -ENOMEM failure on __regulatory_hint()'s failure.

2009-03-27cfg80211: remove code about country IE support with OLD_REGLuis R. Rodriguez
We had left in code to allow interested developers to add support for parsing country IEs when OLD_REG was enabled. This never happened and since we're going to remove OLD_REG lets just remove these comments and code for it. This code path was never being entered so this has no functional change.

2009-03-27cfg80211: make regdom module parameter available oustide of OLD_REGLuis R. Rodriguez
It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using this though. Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg code to help these users migrate. Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled system will world roam. This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

2009-03-27cfg80211: fix incorrect assumption on last_request for 11dLuis R. Rodriguez
The incorrect assumption is the last regulatory request (last_request) is always a country IE when processing country IEs. Although this is true 99% of the time the first time this happens this could not be true. This fixes an oops in the branch check for the last_request when accessing drv_last_ie. The access was done under the assumption the struct won't be null. Note to stable: to port to 29 replace as follows, only 29 has country IE code: s|NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE|REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Quentin Armitage <Quentin@armitage.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-03-27cfg80211: force last_request to be set for OLD_REG if regdom is EULuis R. Rodriguez

2009-02-27cfg80211: Add AP beacon regulatory hintsLuis R. Rodriguez
When devices are world roaming they cannot beacon or do active scan on 5 GHz or on channels 12, 13 and 14 on the 2 GHz band. Although we have a good regulatory API some cards may _always_ world roam, this is also true when a system does not have CRDA present. Devices doing world roaming can still passive scan, if they find a beacon from an AP on one of the world roaming frequencies we make the assumption we can do the same and we also remove the passive scan requirement. This adds support for providing beacon regulatory hints based on scans. This works for devices that do either hardware or software scanning. If a channel has not yet been marked as having had a beacon present on it we queue the beacon hint processing into the workqueue. All wireless devices will benefit from beacon regulatory hints from any wireless device on a system including new devices connected to the system at a later time. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-02-27cfg80211: enable 5 GHz world roaming channelsLuis R. Rodriguez
The current static world regulatory domain is too restrictive, we can use some 5 GHz channels world wide so long as they do not touch frequencies which require DFS. The compromise is we must also enforce passive scanning and disallow usage of a mode of operation that beacons: (AP | IBSS | Mesh) Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-02-27cfg80211: protect first access of last_request on 11d hint under mutexLuis R. Rodriguez
We were not protecting last_request there is a small possible race between an 11d hint and another routine which calls reset_regdomains() which can prevent a valid country IE from being processed.

2009-02-27cfg80211: propagate -ENOMEM during regulatory_init()Luis R. Rodriguez
Calling kobject_uevent_env() can fail mainly due to out of memory conditions. We do not want to continue during such conditions so propagate that as well instead of letting cfg80211 load as if everything is peachy. Additionally lets clarify that when CRDA is not called during cfg80211's initialization _and_ if the error is not an -ENOMEM its because kobject_uevent_env() failed to call CRDA, not because CRDA failed. For those who want to find out why we also let you do so by enabling the kernel config CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG -- you'll get an actual stack trace. So for now we'll treat non -ENOMEM kobject_uevent_env() failures as non fatal during cfg80211's initialization. CC: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-01-29cfg80211: Allow for strict regulatory settingsLuis R. Rodriguez
This allows drivers to request strict regulatory settings to be applied to its devices. This is desirable for devices where proper calibration and compliance can only be gauranteed for for the device's programmed regulatory domain. Regulatory domain settings will be ignored until the device's own regulatory domain is properly configured. If no regulatory domain is received only the world regulatory domain will be applied -- if OLD_REG (default to "US") is not enabled. If OLD_REG behaviour is not acceptable to drivers they must update their wiphy with a custom reuglatory prior to wiphy registration. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

We add support for multiple drivers to provide a regulatory_hint() on a system by adding a wiphy specific regulatory domain cache. This allows drivers to keep around cache their own regulatory domain structure queried from CRDA. We handle conflicts by intersecting multiple regulatory domains, each driver will stick to its own regulatory domain though unless a country IE has been received and processed. If the user already requested a regulatory domain and a driver requests the same regulatory domain then simply copy to the driver's regd the same regulatory domain and do not call CRDA, do not collect $200.

2009-01-16cfg80211: Fix regression with 11d on bandsLuis R. Rodriguez
This fixes a regression on disallowing bands introduced with the new 802.11d support. The issue is that IEEE-802.11 allows APs to send a subset of what a country regulatory domain defines. This was clarified in this document: http://tinyurl.com/11d-clarification As such it is possible, and this is what is done in practice, that a single band 2.4 GHz AP will only send 2.4 GHz band regulatory information through the 802.11 country information element and then the current intersection with what CRDA provided yields a regulatory domain with no 5 GHz information -- even though that country may actually allow 5 GHz operation. We correct this by only applying the intersection rules on a channel if the the intersection yields a regulatory rule on the same band the channel is on. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
