Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] Enable additional channels for use

Hi Luis,

I'm resending this patch set. Any chance you could review it?

Thanks in advance,

Ilan.

-----

Sorry for the big delay between the previous series and this one ... seems
that I was too hasty with the previous one ... hope I did a better work this
time :)

As before, this series addresses the option of enabling additional channels for
use based on the following relaxations:

1. Indoor operation, where a device can use channels requiring indoor
operation, subject to that it can guarantee indoor operation.
2. Concurrent GO operation, where devices may instantiate a P2P GO
while they are under the guidance of an authorized master.

The series includes:

* Some clarification (mainly in documentation) about the intended usage of
channels marked as INDOOR_ONLY and CONCURRENT GO.
* Mapping of NL80211_RFF_NO_OUTDOOR to NL80211_CHAN_INDOOR_ONLY
* Support for a user hint that the platform is operating in an indoor
environment, i.e., channel marked as INDOOR_ONLY can be used.
* Allow initiating radiation on channel marked with INDOOR_ONLY also
for scanning an frame injection in monitor mode.
* Some additional fixes for comments I got.

Following is an example of a possible channel map that can be used to allow
the INDOOR_ONLY and CONCURRENT_GO relaxations. Note that:

* Channels 12,13 are marked as Concurrent GO, so even in the lack of exact
information about the current regulatory domain, these channels can be used
for GO instantiation based on the concurrent GO relaxation.
* The above is also true for channels 149-165 (a.k.a U-NII 3).
* Channels 36-48 (a.k.a thee U-NII 1), are marked both with Concurrent GO and
indoor only. While the Concurrent GO can be used as described above, the
indoor only setting allows to use these channels given the platform is
identified as an indoor one, i.e., media server.

Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] mac80211: Enable initiating radiation on indoor channels

Allow active scanning and frame injection on channels marked with
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR iff the channel is also marked with
IEEE80211_CHAN_INDOOR_ONLY and the wireless core thinks that it
operates in an indoor environment.

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] cfg80211: Enable GO operation on additional channels

Allow GO operation on a channel marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_GO_CONCURRENT
iff there is an active station interface that is associated to
an AP operating on the same channel in 2.4 or the same UNII band in 5.2
(assuming that the AP is an authorized master)

Note that this is a permissive approach to the FCC definitions,
that require a clear assessment that the device operating the AP is
an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection and DFS capabilities.

It is assumed that such restrictions are enforced by user space.
Furthermore, it is assumed, that if the conditions that allowed for
the operation of the GO on such a channel change, i.e., the station
interface disconnected from the AP, it is the responsibility of user
space to evacuate the GO from the channel.

Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] cfg80211: Add an option to hint indoor operation

Add the option to hint the wireless core that it is operating in an indoor
environment.

In addition add regulatory_ir_allowed(), that can be used to
test if initiation radiation is allowed based on the channel flags
and the wireless core indoor hint.

Please keep in mind that the feature flag on the wiphy would

Actually, when the hint is processed, REG_REQ_ALREADY_SET is returned, so the request is immedialty freed, and the last request is not updated. I thought that this should suffice. Do you see any other issue with this?

Looks good but needs a bit of work. In particular the biggest
concern I have is the last_request thing, and the feature flag
on the wiphy. Other than that, tons of cleanup and one last
requirement: please document this on the wireless wiki on the
regulatory page, once accepted.

last_request checks for the alpha2 are abundent... you'd
have to go review such use cases... One strategy might be
to not treat this as a pure regulatory request but rather
a hint of information, ie, not override last_request for
this type of request.

config_enabled() would make this look sexier.

Yeah this is not needed as during init this will be false, but you
do want to ensure you set this to flase during reset of regulatory.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] cfg80211: Add indoor only and GO concurrent channel attributes

From: David Spinadel <[email protected]>

The FCC are clarifying some soft configuration requirements,
which among other include the following:

1. 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.

You may be interested in perhaps picking up my regulatory quiescing patch.
Can you check and let me know?

Please use something specific to P2P, maybe
CFG80211_REG_P2P_RELAX or something. It would be good
to also provide a reference to a URL on wireless.kernel.org
on documentation about an example userspace instance or effort
that is doing this.

Please use config_enabled(CONFIG_FOO) check to simplify this.

This is begging to be added as a helper.

No need to use braces for one liners and since you are returning
no need to indent the code below, as the else is implicit. This
in practice helps reduce general code identation.

Likeywise you can follow by a check for ! 5 GHz and bail if, and save
yourself the identation on the negative.

Please review chan.c well and make a call (you decide) if this
belongs on chan.c or reg.c.

Please add a wiphy regulatory feature flag here that allows
device drivers to disable this, this can be enabled by default.
Practice shows regulatory stuff varies and I can imagine other
vendors wanting to consider disabling for some customers or
builds for whatever unestablished reasons.

What's your source for UNII definition? Can you provide a URL?

Yeah that seems hackish -- please add another enum entry and document
it to allow further hints of similar kind to be added.
