Commits #5 and #6 cover the basic subset of functions, that each mesh node
must support to communicate in the presence of power saving nodes.
The current patchset does not implement any actual power savings yet (no
hardware configuration, no doze state).
Mesh powersave is different from client mode powersave in the sense that
1) there is not just a singular power mode towards the access point, but a
link-specific power mode towards each peer instead
2) peers also maintain a power mode towards us (the local STA)
3) each node has to buffer frames towards power saving neighbors
changes since RFCv3:
- indentation fixes
- function name typo msp->mps
- merged nl80211 and cfg80211 into one commit
- default value of 2 for DTIM period
- only check STA local_pm once in nl80211.c
- concentrate RX handler code in mesh_ps.c
Marco Porsch (6):
nl80211: add range checks to mesh parameters
mac80211: update mesh peer link counter during userspace peering
mac80211: move add_tim to subfunction
{cfg,nl,mac}80211: set beacon interval and DTIM period on mesh join
{cfg,nl}80211: mesh power mode primitives and userspace access
mac80211: mesh power save basics
