That does not really answer my question. All that happens here is in
patch 3/15 where wpas_mesh_init_rsn() call is moved from
wpa_supplicant_mesh_init() into wpas_join_mesh(). No other users for
this functionality is added. In practice, patches 2 and 3 are just
moving this functionality into another function in the same file.
The commit message on this patch 2/17 seems to imply that there might be
multiple places where RSN initialization could be used ("RSN
initialization can be used in different phases if mesh initialization
and mesh join don't happen in sequence such as DFS CAC is done in
between, hence factor it out to help convering the case."). What is that
commit message talking about? Where are the other "different phases"?
That description does not seem to agree with what this patch series does
and there does not seem to be any real need for factoring this
functionality out into a separate function. It might be reasonable to do
so from other reasons to keep the functions shorter, but if that is the
case, the commit message better say so. Now it is just making one wonder
why this change is being done and what other "phases" there might be
missing from this series.
