Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs
on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement
mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a
scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that
the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received
(both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the
request mode is table, this information is optional.
In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel
dwell time for the measurement.
In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or
passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the
channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time
to scan results information.
Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier
call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly
since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the
kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example,
the following can happen:
5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default
link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>
link/ether
when setting the interface down causes the wext message.
To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function
and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier.

Add the option to configure multiple 'scan plans' for scheduled scan.
Each 'scan plan' defines the number of scan cycles and the interval
between scans. The scan plans are executed in the order they were
configured. The last scan plan will always run infinitely and thus
defines only the interval between scans.
The maximum number of scan plans supported by the device and the
maximum number of iterations in a single scan plan are advertised
to userspace so it can configure the scan plans appropriately.
When scheduled scan results are received there is no way to know which
scan plan is being currently executed, so there is no way to know when
the next scan iteration will start. This is not a problem, however.
The scan start timestamp is only used for flushing old scan results,
and there is no difference between flushing all results received until
the end of the previous iteration or the start of the current one,
since no results will be received in between.

This callback is currently not allowed to sleep, which makes it more
difficult to implement proper driver methods in mac80211 than it has
to be. Instead of doing asynchronous work here in mac80211, make it
possible for the callback to sleep by doing some asynchronous work
in cfg80211. This also enables improvements to other drivers, like
ath6kl, that would like to sleep in this callback.
While at it, also fix the code to call the driver on the implicit

Add a new regulatory flag that allows a driver to manage regdomain
changes/updates for its own wiphy.
A self-managed wiphys only employs regulatory information obtained from
the FW and driver and does not use other cfg80211 sources like
beacon-hints, country-code IEs and hints from other devices on the same
system. Conversely, a self-managed wiphy does not share its regulatory
hints with other devices in the system. If a system contains several
devices, one or more of which are self-managed, there might be
contradictory regulatory settings between them. Usage of flag is
generally discouraged. Only use it if the FW/driver is incompatible
with non-locally originated hints.
A new API lets the driver send a complete regdomain, to be applied on
its wiphy only.
After a wiphy-specific regdomain change takes place, usermode will get

When dynamically creating interfaces from userspace, e.g. for P2P usage,
such interfaces are usually owned by the process that created them, i.e.
wpa_supplicant. Should wpa_supplicant crash, such interfaces will often
cease operating properly and cause problems on restarting the process.
To avoid this problem, introduce an ownership concept for interfaces. If
an interface is owned by a netlink socket, then it will be destroyed if
the netlink socket is closed for any reason, including if the process it
belongs to crashed. This gives us a race-free way to get rid of any such
interfaces.

Commit "nl80211: send event when AP operation is stopped" added an
event to notify user space that an AP interface has been stopped, to
handle cases such as suspend etc. The event is sent regardless
if the stop AP flow was triggered by user space or due to internal state
change.
This might cause issues with wpa_supplicant/hostapd flows that consider
stop AP flow as a synchronous one, e.g., AP/GO channel change in the
absence of CSA support. In such cases, the flow will restart the AP
immediately after the stop AP flow is done, and only handle the stop
AP event after the current flow is done, and as a result stop the AP
again.
Change the current implementation to only send the event in case the
stop AP was triggered due to an internal reason.

Due to the previous commit, when a scan finishes, it is in theory
possible to hit the following sequence:
1. interface starts being removed
2. scan is cancelled by driver and cfg80211 is notified
3. scan done work is scheduled
4. interface is removed completely, rdev->scan_req is freed,
event sent to userspace but scan done work remains pending
5. new scan is requested on another virtual interface
6. scan done work runs, freeing the still-running scan
To fix this situation, hang on to the scan done message and block
new scans while that is the case, and only send the message from
the work function, regardless of whether the scan_req is already
freed from interface removal. This makes step 5 above impossible
and changes step 6 to be
5. scan done work runs, sending the scan done message
As this can't work for wext, so we send the message immediately,
but this shouldn't be an issue since we still return -EBUSY.

When an interface/wdev is removed, any ongoing scan should be
cancelled by the driver. This will make it call cfg80211, which
only queues a work struct. If interface/wdev removal is quick
enough, this can leave the scan request pending and processed
only after the interface is gone, causing a use-after-free.
Fix this by making sure the scan request is not pending after
the interface is destroyed. We can't flush or cancel the work
item due to locking concerns, but when it'll run it shouldn't
find anything to do. This leaves a potential issue, if a new
scan gets requested before the work runs, it prematurely stops
the running scan, potentially causing another crash. I'll fix
that in the next patch.
This was particularly observed with P2P_DEVICE wdevs, likely
because freeing them is quicker than freeing netdevs.

Unfortunately I forgot this during the merge window, but the
patch seems small enough to go in as a fix. The userspace API
bug that was the reason for disabling it has long been fixed.
