[PATCH wireless-next 0/3] netlink carrier race workaround

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

 



Hi again,

So I had put this aside for a while, but really got annoyed by all
the test failures now ... thinking about this again I basically now
arrived at a variant of solution #3 previously outlined, and I've
kind of convinced myself that userspace should always get an event
with a new carrier_up_count as it does today.

So I've implemented a new nl80211 attribute carrying the current
carrier_up_count at the time of the wireless event, so that we can
(in userspace) wait for the corresponding rtnetlink event if we
haven't seen it yet. Patches for wpa_supplicant to follow.
