[PATCH] mac80211: fix rx data handling for non-data frames on multiple vifs

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

 



The loop that passes non-data frames to all relevant vifs inside the
__ieee80211_rx_handle_packet keeps a pointer to the previous sdata to
avoid having to make unnecessary copies of the frame it's handling.
This led to a bug that caused it to apply the ieee80211_rx_data state
to the wrong interface, thereby either missing the rx.sta pointer or
having it assigned where it shouldn't be.
This breaks (among other things) aggregation on some vifs, as action
frame exchages are dropped to the cooked monitor interface due to
rx->sta being NULL.
Fix this by restructuring the loop so that it prepares the rx data just
before making the skb copy and calling the rx handlers.
