This series depends on my last posted series. This set tries to address some issues I was with checking for DFS region support on the cfg80211 path for starting radar detection. Apart from checking for the DFS region when we get a request to start DFS radar detection we should always check the DFS region also when we want to use a mode of operation that requires DFS support in the kernel. IBSS has a mode of operation, when NL80211_ATTR_HANDLE_DFS is set, which should be taken into consideration for DFS support. My patch 5 titled "cfg80211: DFS check dfs_region before usage" really is incomplete and should check for NL80211_ATTR_HANDLE_DFS on IBSS wdevs when set to make the appropriate exception. While at it I considered the corner cases of changing regulatory domains, this pushed me to add regulatory quiescing support. This is particularly important when we switch regulatory domains and the DFS region changes but should nevertheless still be done even in other cases. I think we should also extend the IBSS NL80211_ATTR_HANDLE_DFS case to require newer implementations to send their supported DFS regions, otherwise we assume userespace is doing the right thing. I think we can take care of that better in kernel space. Janusz, please test, and likely feel free to take on the last patch. We may need help from Johannes on the rtnl lock question now required for checks on enabling beacon operation. Jouni, thoughts on the approach? Sunit, Rakesh? Luis R.
