[PATCH] mac80211: Process multicast RX registration for Action frames

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

 



Convert a user space registration for processing multicast Action frames
(NL80211_CMD_REGISTER_FRAME with NL80211_ATTR_RECEIVE_MULTICAST) to a
new enum ieee80211_filter_flags bit FIF_MCAST_ACTION so that drivers can
update their RX filter parameters appropriately, if needed.

This depends on the pending cfg80211 patch
[RFC PATCH] cfg80211: support multicast RX registration

Updates since RFC:
- document this to match Action frames in general, not just Public
  Action frames
- set rx_multicast_reg based on registration being for Action frame
  subtype instead of any subtype
