From 78f22b6a3a9254460d23060530b48ae02a9394e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 17:57:27 +0100 Subject: cfg80211: allow userspace to take ownership of interfaces 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.

Indoor operation, where a device can use channels requiring indoor operation, subject to that it can guarantee indoor operation, i.e., the device is connected to AC Power or the device is under the control of a local master that is acting as an AP and is connected to AC Power. 2. Concurrent GO operation, where devices may instantiate a P2P GO while they are under the guidance of an authorized master. For example, on a channel on which a BSS is connected to an authorized master, i.e., with DFS and radar detection capability in the UNII band. See https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/comments/GetPublishedDocument.html?id=327&tn=528122 Add support for advertising Indoor-only and GO-Concurrent channel properties.

When channel attributes are reported to user-space, make sure to not break old tools, i.e. if the 'split wiphy dump' is enabled, report the extra attributes (if present) describing the bandwidth restrictions. If the 'split wiphy dump' is not enabled, completely omit those channels that have flags set to either IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_10MHZ or IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_20MHZ. Add the check for new bandwidth restriction flags in cfg80211_chandef_usable() to comply with the restrictions.
