I tried to reproduce by just merging the fixes in question onto Linus'
tree and using radios=3 but no go. Can you provide the full kernel
log, I'm particularly interested in what happened before. The
COUNTRY=US on debian, which I believe you're on, should just trigger a
regulatory domain setting to US upon initialization. Depending on how
Debian does it this could either trigger as a module parameter or as a
userspace event *after* the world regdom get set.

The radios=3 alone would not do anything other than add new radios so
I see no contention on the last_request by increasing or decreasing
that. last_request is also protected by rtnl and although I was
considering a possible race against processing the same last_request
twice if you see how we call reg_process_pending_hints() on reg_todo()
its protected by rtnl_lock() so I'm a bit puzzled as to how this is
being triggered as those operations should be atomic. The other corner
case I thought of was that for userspace requests which sets a
timeout, but our when the timeout hits we also rtnl_lock() under
reg_timeout_work().

The other corner I thought of was when we reset_regdomains() but all
callers are rtnl_lock()'d. This is also the same for callers of
set_regdom().

Do you get different results if you reduce the number of radios? If so
where's the trigger point?
