[RFC PATCH 5/8] mac80211: Don't start dynamic PS timer when leaving off-channel if still scanning

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

 



Most of mac80211 does not update the dynamic PS timer during
scans, but ieee80211_offchannel_ps_disable() will still restart
it if a scan is in progress. It doesn't make sense to do this if
no other code is updating the timer, so update this function to
only restart the timer if not scanning.
