[PATCH 0/2] mac80211: add cleanup path for MPP table entries

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

 



Currently MPP table entries are only removed from memory when their
802.11s mesh interface goes down. This can make the kernel to remember
a growing list of proxied mac addresses which are not relevant or even
reachable anymore.

This patchset adds two additional cleanup paths for MPP table entries
to remove them when their corresponding mesh node is removed or when
the MPP table entry is not used for MESH_PATH_EXPIRE time.

  mac80211: Remove connected MPP table entries with MPath
  mac80211: let unused MPP table entries timeout
