All interfaces should set the IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS flag for all TX frames which will force the master interface to set the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag. This in turn will allow drivers to check for that flag before reporting the TX status to mac80211. This is very usefull when frames (like beacons, RTS and CTS-to-self) should not be reported back to mac80211. Later we could add more extensive checks to exclude more frames from being reported, or let mac80211 decide if it wants the frame for status reporting or not. v2: Monitor interfaces should also set IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@xxxxxxxxx> --- diff --git a/net/mac80211/tx.c b/net/mac80211/tx.c index f35eaea..472dab0 100644 --- a/net/mac80211/tx.c +++ b/net/mac80211/tx.c @@ -1336,6 +1336,8 @@ int ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, pkt_data->ifindex = dev->ifindex; pkt_data->flags |= IEEE80211_TXPD_DO_NOT_ENCRYPT; + /* Interfaces should always request a status report */ + pkt_data->flags |= IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS; /* * fix up the pointers accounting for the radiotap @@ -1617,6 +1619,9 @@ int ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, if (ethertype == ETH_P_PAE) pkt_data->flags |= IEEE80211_TXPD_EAPOL_FRAME; + /* Interfaces should always request a status report */ + pkt_data->flags |= IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS; + skb->dev = local->mdev; dev->stats.tx_packets++; dev->stats.tx_bytes += skb->len; -- 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
