[RFC 1/2] mac80211: Support decrypting action frames for reinsertion into the driver.

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some drivers, like ath10k-ct support rxswcrypt, but the firmware needs to
handle at least part of the blockack logic internally.  Since firmware cannot
decode the frame in rxswcrypt mode, this patch adds a way for the driver to
request to be delivered the decrypted blockack action frames.  The
driver can then re-insert the decrypted frame for proper handling.
