Thank you. Yes, RX side modification is needed.
I was not aware of it because ping test was OK.
Now I recognize it is because MGTK and IGTK is same as you say.

This will make devices using fixed implementation not
interoperate with devices using older version, I'd assume, but it looks
like the current use of mesh with RSN is pretty hopelessly broken as far
as no PMF case is concerned at least when using the wpa_supplicant
implementation (sets IGTK incorrectly and ends up using BIP even when
PMF was not enabled), so there does not seem to be any convenient way of
addressing this apart from requiring all devices in the MBSS to get
updated to the fixed versions.
Yes. This patch breaks backward compatibility.
I do not have smart idea to avoid also.
I will create new define like this.
CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH_GROUP_ADDRESSED_PRIVACY


And this helper should likely be in some more generic location so that it could be shared for TX and RX..

Sure.
