Subject: [PATCH v3] cfg80211: fix dfs channel state after stopping AP

In AP mode DFS channel state is changed to DFS_AVAILABLE
after successful CAC and remains as such until a radar
signal is detected during the In-Service Monitoring.
When AP is stopped it is no longer monitoring current channel
for radar signals. DFS channel state should be changed back
to DFS_USABLE. Starting AP again on that channel will start CAC
instead of starting radiation.

*far* too long lines. Read CodingStyle documentation please.

Also, any reason to not always call cfg80211_leave_dfs_chandef()?

This seems to catch it anyway.

This also seems a bit wrong, if regulatory happens to change and say the
RADAR flag goes away, then this won't set it to USABLE, and then if the
RADAR flag later re-appears? I guess Luis should handle that in reg.c
though or so?

I had only cfg80211_leave_dfs_chandef() but then I added if() and
exceeded 80 lines.
So I will call always cfg80211_leave_dfs_chandef().

Yes, you are right. It does not matter if RADAR flag is set. When we
are leaving AP mode then none of channels should have dfs_state =
NL80211_DFS_AVAILABLE. So all DFS_AVAILABLE channel will be set to
DFS_USABLE.

I will send new version of this patch.

Concerning your question whether this patch is needed in 3.13. I think
this is rather important issue. Look at such situation:
*start AP on DFS channel,
*CAC pass - channel dfs_state changes to AVAILABLE, AP starts beaconing,
*stop AP by killing hostapd, channel dfs_state stays AVAILABLE,
*start AP again, it starts beaconig immediately, there is no CAC
beacuse channel dfs_state is AVAILABLE.

Purpose of this patch is to change channel dfs_state to USABLE when
leaving/stoping AP, so starting AP again will trigger first CAC and
after successful CAC starts beaconig.
