cfg80211_remain_on_channel_expired is used to notify userspace when the remain on channel duration expired by sending an event. There is no such equivalent to CMD_FRAME, where if offchannel and a duration is provided, the card will go offchannel for that duration. Currently there is no way for userspace to tell when that duration expired apart from setting an independent timeout. This timeout is quite erroneous as the kernel may not immediately send out the frame because of scheduling or work queue delays. In testing, it was found this timeout had to be quite large to accomidate any potential delays. A better solution is to have the kernel send an event when this duration has expired. There is already NL80211_CMD_FRAME_WAIT_CANCEL which can be used to cancel a NL80211_CMD_FRAME offchannel. Using this command matches perfectly to how NL80211_CMD_CANCEL_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL works, where its both used to cancel and notify if the duration has expired.

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.
