From: Matti Gottlieb <matti.gottlieb@xxxxxxxxx> Currently while associated to an AP and sending an action frame to a different AP on the same channel, the action frame will be sent like a regular tx frame without going off channel. When power save is enabled this can cause problems, since the device can go into power save and miss the response to the action frame that is sent by the other AP. By forcing the frame to be transmitted off channel we avoid this issue. Force the transmitting of the action frame to use off channel in case of association - If HW off channel is enabled - The user did not forbid transmitting frames off channel - The frame is not designated to the AP that we are associated with Signed-off-by: Matti Gottlieb <matti.gottlieb@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/mac80211/cfg.c | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/mac80211/cfg.c b/net/mac80211/cfg.c index 265e427..e38da9f 100644 --- a/net/mac80211/cfg.c +++ b/net/mac80211/cfg.c @@ -3336,8 +3336,14 @@ static int ieee80211_mgmt_tx(struct wiphy *wiphy, struct wireless_dev *wdev, break; case NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION: case NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_CLIENT: - if (!sdata->u.mgd.associated) + sdata_lock(sdata); + if (!sdata->u.mgd.associated || + (params->offchan && params->wait && + local->ops->remain_on_channel && + memcmp(sdata->u.mgd.associated->bssid, + mgmt->bssid, ETH_ALEN))) need_offchan = true; + sdata_unlock(sdata); break; case NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_DEVICE: need_offchan = true; -- 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
