[RFC] cfg80211: add regulatory hint disconnect support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This adds a new regulatory hint to be used when we know all
devices have been disconnected and idle. This can happen
when we suspend, for instance. When we disconnect we can
no longer assume the same regulatory rules learned from
a country IE or beacon hints are applicable so restore
regulatory settings to an initial state.

I was trying to address adding suspend and resume support for
the regulatory code. I then noticed we don't have a subsystem
specific suspend and resume call we could hook into but only
suspend and resume calls for each wireless device. It then
occurred to me that instead of addressing this just for the
suspend and resume case it would make sense to start things
from a clean state after disconnection from APs. So I gave
that a shot.

This is what I came up with in the plane during the holidays,
unfortunately there seems to be a locking bug somewhere as this
hangs my system.

Apart from that there the more obvious consideration I have for
something like this is the delay incurred by the regulatory hint
disconnect. Also, since this doesn't yet work I haven't been able
to test where in the suspend cycle this would trigger yet. I was
hoping it would trigger right before suspend and if not was considering
flushing theg global workqueue right after we schedule the disconnect
work.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the driver hints would be
stored on each wiphy->regd but would not be re-issued with this
implementation but so technically it would not replicate the same
regulatory settings when using multiple devices upon bootup. We *could*
queue those up as well as this patch queues up the user hings but
would we then treat them as new driver hints? It doesn't seem worth
the effort.
