In the first 5 minutes after boot (time of INITIAL_JIFFIES), ieee80211_sta_last_active() returns zero if last_ack is zero. This leads to "inactive time" showing jiffies_to_msecs(jiffies). # iw wlan0 station get fc:ec:da:64:a6:dd Station fc:ec:da:64:a6:dd (on wlan0) inactive time: 4294894049 ms . . connected time: 70 seconds Fix by returning last_rx if last_ack == 0.
