| - Add support for client tracking of HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|   When using HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO command the newly created radio is | ||||
|   not bound to the owner of the netlink socket.  This means that the radio | ||||
|   stays around even after the client quits.  For testing tools it would | ||||
|   be beneficial if the newly created radio could be bound to the lifetime | ||||
|   of the netlink socket. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|   Create a new HWSIM_ATTR_DESTROY_RADIO_ON_CLOSE (netlink flag attribute) | ||||
|   that can be given to HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO to indicate this behavior. | ||||

|   Using the name HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO is more fitting on how other pieces | ||||

| @ -21,3 +21,10 @@ The radio id from kernel mac80211_hwsim module is parsed properly in | ||||
| hwsim. The radio id is not returned as HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_ID but instead | ||||
| it is returned in error message. If the error code > 0, then that means | ||||
| the radio id. If the error code < 0, then that indicates a real error. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The hwsim uses new HWSIM_ATTR_DESTROY_RADIO_ON_CLOSE flag attribute to | ||||
| tell the kernel that when the hwsim process dies, the radios it created | ||||
| should be removed. For testing tools it is beneficial if the newly | ||||
| created radio could be bound to the lifetime of the netlink socket. | ||||
| The old behaviour i.e., radio is not destroyed when hwsim quits, | ||||
| is used if one starts the hwsim with -k (--keep) command line option. | ||||
