It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.
I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.
I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

In order to support using a different MAC address
for the P2P Device address we must first have a
P2P Device abstraction that can be assigned a MAC
address.
This abstraction will also be useful to support
offloading P2P operations to the device, e.g.
periodic listen for discoverability.
Currently, the driver is responsible for assigning
a MAC address to the P2P Device, but this could be
changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to
the NEW_INTERFACE command.
As it has no associated netdev, a P2P Device can
only be identified by its wdev identifier but the
previous patches allowed using the wdev identifier
in various APIs, e.g. remain-on-channel.

libertas currently calls cfg80211_disconnected() when it is being

Currently the only way for wireless drivers to tell whether or not OFDM
is allowed on the current channel is to check the regulatory
information. However, this requires hodling cfg80211_mutex, which is not
visible to the drivers.
Other regulatory restrictions are provided as flags in the channel
definition, so let's do similarly with OFDM. This patch adds a new flag,
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_OFDM, to tell drivers that OFDM on a channel is not
allowed. This flag is set on any channels for which regulatory indicates
that OFDM is prohibited.

Date: Wed Jan 11 20:33:39 2012 +0200
wireless: Save original maximum regulatory transmission power for the calucation of the local maximum transmit pow
changed the way we calculate chan->max_power as min(chan->max_power,
chan->max_reg_power). That broke rt2x00 (and perhaps some other
drivers) that do not set chan->max_power. It is not so easy to fix this
problem correctly in rt2x00.
According to commit eccc068e8 changelog, change claim only to save
maximum regulatory power - changing setting of chan->max_power was side
effect. This patch restore previous calculations of chan->max_power and
do not touch chan->max_reg_power.

Cellular base stations can provide hints to cfg80211 about
where they think we are. This can be done for example on
a cell phone. To enable these hints we simply allow them
through as user regulatory hints but we allow userspace
to clasify the hint as either coming directly from the
user or coming from a cellular base station. This option
is only available when you enable
CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS.
The base station hints themselves will not be processed
by the core unless at least one device on the system
supports this feature.

This adds CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS which is to
be used for features / code which require a bit of work on
the system integrator's part to ensure that the system will
still pass 802.11 regulatory certification. This option is
also usable for researchers and experimenters looking to add
code in the kernel without impacting compliant code.
We'd use CONFIG_EXPERT alone but it seems that most standard
Linux distributions are enabling CONFIG_EXPERT already. This
allows us to define 802.11 specific kernel features under a
flag that is intended by design to be disabled by standard
Linux distributions, and only enabled by system integrators
or distributions that have done work to ensure regulatory
certification on the system with the enabled features.

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.

Revert commit b78e8ceac2
("cfg80211: track monitor channel") and remove the
set_monitor_enabled() callback.
Due to the tracking happening in NETDEV_PRE_UP, it had
introduced bugs because the monitor interface callback
would be called before the device was started. It looks
like there's no way to fix this, and using NETDEV_PRE_UP
is broken anyway (since there's no NETDEV_UP_FAIL), so
remove all that code, track interfaces in NETDEV_UP and
also stop tracking the monitor channel in cfg80211.
This mostly reverts to before the tracking, except that
we keep the interface count tracking so that setting the
monitor channel can be rejected properly.

This essentially reverts commit 2e165b8184 but
