This series deals with 3 things:
a) Three enhancements for regulatory
b) Make reg_process_hint() easier to follow
c) Make set_regdom() easier to follow
The enhancements in a) are to help ensure a combination of
custom and strict regulatory settings are respected but also
address original design consideations but that we had overlooked.
The third enhancement helps avoid possible abuse on memory
pressure by userspace by invalidating requests early.
The work on b) and c) come from the realization that while the
existing code works its really hard to follow as you have to
consider two different state machine consideration at once.
I've decided to create a compromise on making the code easier
to follow by increasing code size by splitting up each case
into its own path, this lets the reader only focus on each
individual type of request individually. Code is still shared
when possible.
I've tested all these changes with mac80211_hwsim regtest for
all regtetest options before and after applying these changes.
I'm pretty confident on these changes, I suspect this actually
also ends up addressing a few corner cases previously not
covered.
