[PATCHv2 1/2] mac80211: perform power save processing before decryption

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch decouples the power save processing from the frame decryption
by running the decrypt rx handler after sta_process. In the case where
the decryption failed for some reason, the stack used to not process
the PM and MOREDATA bits for that frame. The stack now always performs
power save processing regardless of the decryption result. That means that
encrypted data frames and NULLFUNC frames are now handled in the same way
regarding power save processing, making the stack more robust.
