NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS is added to configure SAR from user space. NL80211_ATTR_SAR_SPEC is used to pass the SAR power specification when used with NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS. Wireless driver needs to register SAR type, supported frequency ranges to wiphy, so user space can query it. The index in frequency range is used to specify which sub band the power limitation applies to. The SAR type is for compatibility, so later other SAR mechanism can be implemented without breaking the user space SAR applications. Normal process is user space queries the SAR capability, and gets the index of supported frequency ranges and associates the power limitation with this index and sends to kernel. Here is an example of message send to kernel: 8c 00 00 00 08 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 38 00 2b 81 08 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 2c 00 02 80 14 00 00 80 08 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 01 00 38 00 00 00 14 00 01 80 08 00 02 00 01 00 00 00 08 00 01 00 48 00 00 00 NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS: 0x8c NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY: 0x01(phy idx is 0) NL80211_ATTR_SAR_SPEC: 0x812b (NLA_NESTED) NL80211_SAR_ATTR_TYPE: 0x00 (NL80211_SAR_TYPE_POWER) NL80211_SAR_ATTR_SPECS: 0x8002 (NLA_NESTED) freq range 0 power: 0x38 in 0.25dbm unit (14dbm) freq range 1 power: 0x48 in 0.25dbm unit (18dbm) Signed-off-by: Carl Huang <cjhuang@codeaurora.org> Reviewed-by: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Abhishek Kumar <kuabhs@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201203103728.3034-2-cjhuang@codeaurora.org [minor edits, NLA parse cleanups] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
