Subject: [ 09/55] cfg80211: warn if db.txt is empty with CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
Date: Sun, 27 May 2012 09:26:22 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120527002615.202460676@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120527005203.GA2146@kroah.com>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@frijolero.org>

commit 80007efeff0568375b08faf93c7aad65602cb97e upstream.

It has happened twice now where elaborate troubleshooting has
undergone on systems where CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB [0]
has been set but yet net/wireless/db.txt was not updated.

Despite the documentation on this it seems system integrators could
use some more help with this, so throw out a kernel warning at boot time
when their database is empty.

This does mean that the error-prone system integrator won't likely
realize the issue until they boot the machine but -- it does not seem
to make sense to enable a build bug breaking random build testing.
