While adding regulatory support to ath6kl I noticed that I easily
got the regulatory code confused. The way to reproduce the bug was:
1. iw reg set FI (in userspace)
2. cfg80211 calls ath6kl_reg_notify(FI)
3. ath6kl sets regdomain in firmware
4. firmware sends regdomain event to notify about the new regdomain (FI)
5. ath6kl calls regulatory_hint(FI)
And this (from FI to FI transition) confuses cfg80211 and after that I
only get "Pending regulatory request, waiting for it to be
processed...." messages and regdomain changes won't work anymore.
The reason why ath6kl calls regulatory_hint() is that firmware can change
the regulatory domain by it's own, for example due to 11d IEs. I could
of course workaround this in ath6kl but I think it's better to handle
the case in cfg80211.
The fix is pretty simple, use a different error code if the regdomain is
same and then just set the request processed so that it doesn't block new
requests.

The local maximum transmit power is the maximum power a wireless device
allowed to transmit. If Power Constraint is presented, the local maximum
power equals to the maximum allowed power defined in regulatory domain
minus power constraint.
The maximum transmit power is maximum power a wireless device capable of
transmitting, and should be used in Power Capability element (7.3.2.16
IEEE802.11 2007).
The transmit power from a wireless device should not greater than the
local maximum transmit power.
The maximum transmit power was not calculated correctly in the current
Linux wireless/mac80211 when Power Constraint is presented.

Following the tradition we have had with ath5k, ath9k, CRDA,
wireless-regdb I'd like to license this code under the permissive ISC
license for the code sharing purposes with other OSes, it'd sure be nice
to help the landscape in this area. Although I am %82.89 owner of the
regulatory code I have asked every contributor to the regulatory code
and have receieved positive Acked-bys from everyone except two deceased
entities:
o Frans Pop RIP 2010 [0]
- Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl>
- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>
o Nokia RIP February, 11, 2011 [1], [2]
- ext-yuri.ershov@nokia.com
- kalle.valo@nokia.com
Frans Pop's contribution was a simple patch 55f98938, titled,
"wireless: remove trailing space in messages" which just add a \n
to some printk lines. I'm going to treat these additions as
uncopyrightable.
As for the contributions made by employees on behalf of Nokia
my contact point was Petri Karhula <petri.karhula@nokia.com> but
after one month he noted he had not been able to get traction from the
legal department on this request, as such it I proceeded by replacing
their contributions in previous patches.
The end goal is to help a clean rewrite that starts in userspace
that is shared under ISC license which currently is taking place with
the regulatory simulator [3].

When we restore regulatory settings the world regulatory domain
is properly reset on cfg80211 (or user prefered regulatory domain)
but we were never setting back channel values for drivers that use
WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY. Set these values up again by using
the orig_ channel parameters.
This fixes restoring custom regulatory settings upon disconnect
events.

By definition WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY was intended to allow the
wiphy to adjust itself to the country IE power information if the
card had no regulatory data but we had no way to tell cfg80211 that if
the card also had its own custom regulatory domain (these are typically
custom world regulatory domains) that we want to follow the country IE's
noted values for power for each channel. We add support for this and
document it.
This is not a critical fix but a performance optimization for cards
with custom regulatory domains that associate to an AP with sends
out country IEs with a higher EIRP than the one on the custom
regulatory domain. In practice the only driver affected right now
are the Atheros drivers as they are the only drivers using both
WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY and WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY --
used on cards that have an Atheros world regulatory domain. Cards
that have been programmed to follow a country specifically will not
follow the country IE power. So although not a stable fix distributions
should consider cherry picking this.

Johannes' patch for "cfg80211: fix regulatory NULL dereference"
broke user regulaotry hints and it did not address the fact that
last_request was left populated even if the previous regulatory
hint was stale due to the wiphy disappearing.
Fix user reguluatory hints by only bailing out if for those
regulatory hints where a request_wiphy is expected. The stale last_request
considerations are addressed through the previous fixes on last_request
where we reset the last_request to a static world regdom request upon
reset_regdomains(). In this case though we further enhance the effect
by simply restoring reguluatory settings completely.

There is a theoretical race that if hit will trigger
a crash. The race is between when we issue the first
regulatory hint, regulatory_hint_core(), gets processed
by the workqueue and between when the first device
gets registered to the wireless core. This is not easy
to reproduce but it was easy to do so through the
regulatory simulator I have been working on. This
is a port of the fix I implemented there [1].

Commit 4d9d88d1 by Scott James Remnant <keybuk@google.com> added
the .uevent() callback for the regulatory device used during
the platform device registration. The change was done to account
for queuing up udev change requests through udevadm triggers.
The change also meant that upon regulatory core exit we will now
send a uevent() but the uevent() callback, reg_device_uevent(),
also accessed last_request. Right before commiting device suicide
we free'd last_request but never set it to NULL so
platform_device_unregister() would lead to bogus kernel paging
request. Fix this and also simply supress uevents right before
we commit suicide as they are pointless.
This fix is required for kernels >= v2.6.39
$ git describe --contains 4d9d88d1
v2.6.39-rc1~468^2~25^2^2~21
The impact of not having this present is that a bogus paging
access may occur (only read) upon cfg80211 unload time. You
may also get this BUG complaint below. Although Johannes
could not reproduce the issue this fix is theoretically correct.

During the association, the regulatory is updated by country IE
that reaps the previously found beacons. The impact is that
after a STA disconnects *or* when for any reason a regulatory
domain change happens the beacon hint flag is not cleared
therefore preventing future beacon hints to be learned.
This is important as a regulatory domain change or a restore
of regulatory settings would set back the passive scan and no-ibss
flags on the channel. This is the right place to do this given that
it covers any regulatory domain change.

The function wiphy_update_regulatory() uses the static variable
last_request and thus needs to be called with reg_mutex held.
This is the case for all users in reg.c, but the function was
exported for use by wiphy_register(), from where it is called
without the lock being held.
Fix this by making wiphy_update_regulatory() private and introducing
regulatory_update() as a wrapper that acquires and holds the lock.

The patch "cfg80211: add a timer for invalid user reg hints"
introduced a regression for the case where a secondary identical
regulatory hint from a user is sent. What would happen is the
second hint would schedule delayed work in to catch a timeout
but since we are never processing it given that the hint was already
applied we'd always hit the timeout and and restore regulatory
settings back to world regulatory domain. This is fixed by simply
avoiding sheduling work if the hint was already applied.

add a delayed work item for processing failure and cancel it
if we succeeed. Upon failure we restore the regulatory

To prevent this we suck out all pending requests when
restoring regulatory settings and add them back into the
queue after we have queued up the reset work.
The impact of not having this applied is that a user
with privileges can issue a userspace regulatory hint
while we are disasocciating and this would prevent any
further processing of regulatory domains.

Regulatory devices issue change uevents to inform userspace of a need
to call the crda tool; however these can often be sent before udevd is
running, and were not previously included in the results of
udevadm trigger (which requests a new change event using the /uevent
attribute of the sysfs object).
Add a uevent function to the device type which includes the COUNTRY
information from the last request if it has yet to be processed, the
case of multiple requests is already handled in the code by checking
whether an unprocessed one is queued in the same manner and refusing
to queue a new one.
The existing udev rule continues to work as before.

Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Japan 4.9GHz band, according to
IEEE802.11 section 17.3.8.3.2 and Annex J. Because there are now overlapping
channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to
frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we
know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility)
we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14.
This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in
802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz
channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted.
The following drivers have been updated to reflect the API changes:

When two cards are connected with the same regulatory domain
if CRDA had a delayed response then cfg80211's own set regulatory
domain would still be the world regulatory domain. There was a bug
on cfg80211's logic such that it assumed that once you pegged a
request as the last request it was already the currently set
regulatory domain. This would mean we would race setting a stale
regulatory domain to secondary cards which had the same regulatory
domain since the alpha2 would match.
We fix this by processing each regulatory request atomically,
and only move on to the next one once we get it fully processed.
In the case CRDA is not present we will simply world roam.
This issue is only present when you have a slow system and the
CRDA processing is delayed. Because of this it is not a known
regression.
Without this fix when a delay is present with CRDA the second card
would end up with an intersected regulatory domain and not allow it
to use the channels it really is designed for. When two cards with
two different regulatory domains were inserted you'd end up
rejecting the second card's regulatory domain request.
This fails with mac80211_hswim's regtest=2 (two requests, same alpha2)
and regtest=3 (two requests, different alpha2) module parameter
options.
This was reproduced and tested against mac80211_hwsim using this
CRDA delayer:
#!/bin/bash
echo $COUNTRY >> /tmp/log
sleep 2
/sbin/crda.orig
And these regulatory tests:
modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=2
modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=3

After a module loads you will have loaded the world roaming regulatory
domain or a custom regulatory domain. Further regulatory hints are
welcomed and should be respected unless the regulatory hint is coming
from a country IE as the IEEE spec allows for a country IE to be a subset
of what is allowed by the local regulatory agencies.
So disable all channels that do not fit a regulatory domain sent
from a unless the hint is from a country IE and the country IE had
no information about the band we are currently processing.
This fixes a few regulatory issues, for example for drivers that depend
on CRDA and had no 5 GHz freqencies allowed were not properly disabling
5 GHz at all, furthermore it also allows users to restrict devices
further as was intended.
If you recieve a country IE upon association we will also disable the
channels that are not allowed if the country IE had at least one
channel on the respective band we are procesing.
This was the original intention behind this design but it was
completely overlooked...

The patch 4f366c5:
wireless: only use alpha2 regulatory information from country IE
removed some complex intersection we were always doing between the AP's
country IE info and what we got from CRDA. When CRDA sent us back a
regulatory domain we would do some sanity checks on that regulatory
domain response we just got. Part of these sanity checks included
checking that we already had performed an intersection for the
request of NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE type.
This mean that cfg80211 was only processing country IEs for cases
where we already had an intersection, but since we removed enforcing
this this is no longer required, we should just apply the country
IE country hint with the data received from CRDA.
This patch has fixes intended for kernels >= 2.6.36.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

In practice APs do not send country IE channel triplets for channels
the AP is not operating on and if they were to do so they would have
to use the regulatory extension which we currently do not process.
No AP has been seen in practice that does this though so just drop
those country IEs.
Additionally it has been noted the first series of country IE
channels triplets are specific to the band the AP sends. Propagate
the band on which the country IE was found on reject the country
IE then if the triplets are ever oustide of the band.
Although we now won't process country IE information with multiple

technically possible for someone to want to eventually process these

Country IEs triplets are getting an extra channel with
the current count. This does not affect regulatory because
we always took the intersection between what the AP gave
and what CRDA believed is correct.
This however does fix processing some Country IEs with multiple
sequential 2 GHz triplets. Since our parser and the spec mandates
all channels be monitonically increasing we would drop the IE after
noticing the second triplet begins on a channel already processed.
APs that send these type of country IEs seems rare though.

This enhances the way we parse country IEs to minimize

though adjecent rules were also being provided.
Without this patch APs which send country IE information with
a channel triplet for each individual channel will force cfg80211
to deny HT40 operation as a regulatory rule would have been created
independently for each channel and as such configured only for
20 MHz operation.
Although 802.11n APs which send country IEs triplets in this fassion
are likely rare Benoit reports this against the Ubiquity NanoStation M5,
with Country "FR" and HT40 enabled.
Since we now have a helper which parses the triplets in intermediate

Simplify the country IE hint code by just bailing out if
a previous country IE has been issued. We currently just trust
the first AP we connect to on any card. The idea was to perform
conflict resolution within this routine but since we can no longer
iterate over the registered device list here we leave conflict
resolution to be dealt with at a later time on the workqueue.
This code has no functional changes other than saving us an
interation over the registered device list when a second card
is connected, or you unplug and connect the same one, and a
country IE is received. This would have been done upon every
beacon received.

A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:
"cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"
We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.
By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
support such enhancements when world roaming.
Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.
We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
world wide.
This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
upon wiphy registration.
I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.

We were treating ieee80211_regdom module parameter hints
as core hints, this means we were not letting the user help
compliance further when using the module parameter. It also
meant that users with a device with a custom regulatory
domain set (wiphy->custom_regulatory) using this module
parameter were being stuck to the original default core
static regualtory domain. We fix this by using the static
cfg80211_regdomain alpha2 as the core hint and treating the
module parameter separately.
All iwlwifi and ath5k/ath9k/ar9170 devices which world roam
set the wiphy->custom_regulatory. This change allows users
using this module parameter to have it trated as a a proper
user hint and not have it ignored.

This fixes an incorrect assumption (BUG_ON) made in
cfg80211 when handling country IE regulatory requests.
The assumption was that we won't try to call_crda()
twice for the same event and therefore we will not
recieve two replies through nl80211 for the regulatory
request. As it turns out it is true we don't call_crda()
twice for the same event, however, kobject_uevent_env()
*might* send the udev event twice and/or userspace can
simply process the udev event twice. We remove the BUG_ON()
and simply ignore the duplicate request.

We are not correctly listening to the regulatory max bandwidth
settings. To actually make use of it we need to redesign things
a bit. This patch does the work for that. We do this to so we
can obey to regulatory rules accordingly for use of HT40.
We end up dealing with HT40 by having two passes for each channel.
The first check will see if a 20 MHz channel fits into the channel's
center freq on a given frequency range. We check for a 20 MHz
banwidth channel as that is the maximum an individual channel
will use, at least for now. The first pass will go ahead and
check if the regulatory rule for that given center of frequency
allows 40 MHz bandwidths and we use this to determine whether
or not the channel supports HT40 or not. So to support HT40 you'll
need at a regulatory rule that allows you to use 40 MHz channels
but you're channel must also be enabled and support 20 MHz by itself.
The second pass is done after we do the regulatory checks over
an device's supported channel list. On each channel we'll check
if the control channel and the extension both:
o exist
o are enabled
o regulatory allows 40 MHz bandwidth on its frequency range
This work allows allows us to idependently check for HT40- and
HT40+.

by looking at the code.

Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace

Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their

When devices are world roaming they cannot beacon or do active scan
on 5 GHz or on channels 12, 13 and 14 on the 2 GHz band. Although
we have a good regulatory API some cards may _always_ world roam, this
is also true when a system does not have CRDA present. Devices doing world
roaming can still passive scan, if they find a beacon from an AP on
one of the world roaming frequencies we make the assumption we can do
the same and we also remove the passive scan requirement.
This adds support for providing beacon regulatory hints based on scans.
This works for devices that do either hardware or software scanning.
If a channel has not yet been marked as having had a beacon present
on it we queue the beacon hint processing into the workqueue.

domain settings will be ignored until the device's own

OLD_REG behaviour is not acceptable to drivers they must
update their wiphy with a custom reuglatory prior to wiphy
registration.

Drivers may need more information than just who set the last regulatory domain,
as such lets just pass the last regulatory_request receipt. To do this we need
to move out to headers struct regulatory_request, and enum environment_cap. While

numbers defined for the 5 GHz PHY by these parameters

This fixes a regression on disallowing bands introduced with the new
802.11d support. The issue is that IEEE-802.11 allows APs to send
a subset of what a country regulatory domain defines. This was clarified
in this document:
http://tinyurl.com/11d-clarification
As such it is possible, and this is what is done in practice, that a
single band 2.4 GHz AP will only send 2.4 GHz band regulatory information
through the 802.11 country information element and then the current
intersection with what CRDA provided yields a regulatory domain with
no 5 GHz information -- even though that country may actually allow
5 GHz operation. We correct this by only applying the intersection rules
on a channel if the the intersection yields a regulatory rule on the
same band the channel is on.

This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.
To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.
A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.
In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.

There are certain scenerios where we require intersecting
two regulatory domains. This adds intersection support.
When we enable 802.11d support we will use this to intersect
the regulatory domain from the AP's country IE and what our
regulatory agent believes is correct for a country.
This patch enables intersection for now in the case where
the last regdomain was set by a country IE which was parsed
and the user then wants to set the regulatory domain. Since
we don't support country IE parsing yet this code path will not
be hit, however this allows us to pave the way for 11d support.

This function has a few WARNs that may eventually trigger
when an AP sends rogue beacons, those must be removed. Some
of the comments in the function are also inappropriate as
this function is concerned with the global hint, not a per-
wiphy thing (which a multidomain flag on a wiphy would imply).
I'm convinced that we don't need to do anything to implement
multi-domain capability as 802.11-2007 specifies it because
it makes only two things mandatory:
* starting of BSS/IBSS must have country information
(this can easily be done with a mac80211 patch)
* a STA must adopt the country information (we already have
the framework for this)
But we don't have anything implemented anyway for now.

This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The
main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory
code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution,
and to replace the initial centralized code we have where:
* only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU
* regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter
* all rules were built statically in the kernel
We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries
and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent
through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules
without updating the kernel.
Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain
based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a
respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built
regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the
regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to
further help compliance.
Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of
this.
For more information see:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter,
ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically
(US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY.
These old static definitions and the module parameter is being
scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this
you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless.
If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you
use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory
domain for us.

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.
Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.
Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.
I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
