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. This is not critical as it will still be procesed soon after but locking prior to it is correct. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-02-27cfg80211: make regulatory_request use wiphy_idx instead of wiphyLuis R. Rodriguez
We do this so later on we can move the pending requests onto a workqueue. By using the wiphy_idx instead of the wiphy we can later easily check if the wiphy has disappeared or not. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

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 users to help a driver's complianceLuis R. Rodriguez
Let users be more compliant if so desired. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
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.

2009-01-29cfg80211: pass more detailed regulatory request information on reg_notifier()Luis R. Rodriguez
Drivers may need more information than just who set the last regulatory domain, as such lets just pass the last regulatory_request receipt. To do this we need to move out to headers struct regulatory_request, and enum environment_cap. While at it lets add documentation for enum environment_cap. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-01-29cfg80211: move check for ignore_reg_update() on wiphy_update_regulatory()Luis R. Rodriguez
This ensures that the initial REGDOM_SET_BY_CORE upon wiphy registration respects the wiphy->custom_regulatory setting. Without this and if OLD_REG is disabled (which will be default soon as we remove it) the wiphy->custom_regulatory is simply ignored. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-01-29cfg80211: ignore consecutive equal regulatory hintsLuis R. Rodriguez
We ignore regulatory hints for the same alpha2 if we already have processed the same alpha2 on the current regulatory domain. For a driver regulatory_hint() this means we copy onto its wiphy->regd the previously procesed regulatory domain from CRDA without having to call CRDA again. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-01-29cfg80211: allow multiple driver regulatory_hints()Luis R. Rodriguez
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.

2009-01-29cfg80211: Fix sanity check on 5 GHz when processing country IELuis R. Rodriguez
This fixes two issues with the sanity check loop when processing the country IE: 1. Do not use frequency for the current subband channel check, this was a big fat typo. 2.

2009-01-16cfg80211: Fix parsed country IE info for 5 GHzLuis R. Rodriguez
The country IE number of channels on 5 GHz specifies the number of 5 GHz channels, not the number of sequential channel numbers. For example, if in a country IEs if the first channel given is 36 and the number of channels passed is 4 then the individual channel numbers defined for the 5 GHz PHY by these parameters are: 36, 40, 44, 48 not: 36, 37, 38, 39 See: http://tinyurl.com/11d-clarification Signed-off-by: Luis R.

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.

2008-11-25cfg80211: add support for custom firmware regulatory solutionsLuis R. Rodriguez
This adds API to cfg80211 to allow wireless drivers to inform us if their firmware can handle regulatory considerations *and* they cannot map these regulatory domains to an ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2. In these cases we skip the first regulatory hint instead of expecting the driver to build their own regulatory structure, providing us with an alpha2, or using the reg_notifier().

2008-11-25cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d supportLuis R. Rodriguez
This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment (indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE. To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed on the same country. A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two different countries. In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another intersection will be performed. CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA present. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2008-11-25cfg80211: call_crda() won't tell us if CRDA was presentLuis R. Rodriguez
kobject_uevent_env() can return an error but it just tells us if the uvent was built/sent or not, it doesn't tell us anything about what happened in userspace, whether the udev rule was present nor does it tell us if CRDA was present or not. So remove the informative complaint about it assuming it will tell us such things. Note that you can determine if CRDA is present after loading cfg80211 by using: is_old_static_regdom(cfg80211_regdomain) but this doesn't account for possible user install after initial boot, and also for when the user uses the static EU regulatory domain.

So far the __set_regdom() code is pretty generic as the intersection case is fairly straight forward; this will however change when 802.11d support is added so lets separate intersection code for now in preparation for 802.11d support.

2008-11-10cfg80211: Add regulatory domain intersection capabilityLuis R. Rodriguez
There are certain scenerios where we require intersecting two regulatory domains. This adds intersection support. When we enable 802.11d support we will use this to intersect the regulatory domain from the AP's country IE and what our regulatory agent believes is correct for a country. This patch enables intersection for now in the case where the last regdomain was set by a country IE which was parsed and the user then wants to set the regulatory domain. Since we don't support country IE parsing yet this code path will not be hit, however this allows us to pave the way for 11d support. Intersection code has been tested in userspace with CRDA.

2008-10-31wireless: clean up regulatory ignore_request functionJohannes Berg
This function has a few WARNs that may eventually trigger when an AP sends rogue beacons, those must be removed. Some of the comments in the function are also inappropriate as this function is concerned with the global hint, not a per- wiphy thing (which a multidomain flag on a wiphy would imply). I'm convinced that we don't need to do anything to implement multi-domain capability as 802.11-2007 specifies it because it makes only two things mandatory: * starting of BSS/IBSS must have country information (this can easily be done with a mac80211 patch) * a STA must adopt the country information (we already have the framework for this) But we don't have anything implemented anyway for now.
