From 255e25b0e5d4bd035d82f53011df619d8cc0bedb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 17:09:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: allow reprocessing of pending requests In certain situations we want to trigger reprocessing of the last regulatory hint. One situation in which this makes sense is the case where the cfg80211 was built-in to the kernel, CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB was not enabled and the CRDA binary is on a partition not availble during early boot. In such a case we want to be able to re-process the same request at some other point. When we are asked to re-process the same request we need to be careful to not kfree it, addresses that.
