Re: [PATCH wireless 0/1] wifi: mac80211: keep paired old chanctx alive

Hi,

FWIW, none of your mails seem to be reaching the mailing list - I have
emails sent after yours on it, so I don't think it's just a delay.

With all these hwsim bugs I wonder - how do you get it loaded in the
first place? I don't think it's very interesting if (real, non-ns) root
has to load it first, basically nobody _really_ has much interest in it
other than while testing/developing, and even then it'll mostly get used
in VMs. I guess you could technically trigger this on real HW in a
namespace, but ... again that needs real root to put it there.

Not saying that makes it completely irrelevant, but all the whole "bug
is reachable by non-root ..." seems to significantly overstate it?
