[PATCH 03/10] mac80211: do not start any work during reconfigure flow

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

 



From: Naftali Goldstein <naftali.goldstein@xxxxxxxxx>

It is not a good idea to try to perform any work (e.g. send an auth
frame) during reconfigure flow.

Prevent this from happening, and at the end of the reconfigure flow
requeue all the works.
