[RFC] mac80211: don't flush when probing the AP

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

 



All the callers of ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap_send return right
after they call the flush() callback. This means that calling
flush() is uneeded since its meaning is to wait until the
queues of the device are empty. It is pointless to wait if
there is nothing that must ensure that the frame has left
the Tx queue.
ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap_send is called at the very end of
a worker - so flush() is not needed.
