[PATCH 1/5] ath9k: Cache BSS information

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

 



From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Using the BSS information stored in mac80211 directly
is racy in certain conditions. For example, in a MCC
setup, if the scheduler is switching channels when
a local deauth is issued, calculation of the opmode/bssid
etc. is incorrect. To avoid this, store the bss params
in the driver and use it.
