[PATCH 2/2 v2] mac80211: Reset dynamic ps timer in Rx path.

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

 



The current mac80211 implementation enables power save if there
is no Tx traffic for a specific timeout. Hence, PS is triggered
even if there is a continuous Rx only traffic(like UDP) going on.
This makes the drivers to wait on the tim bit in the next beacon
to awake which leads to redundant sleep-wake cycles.
Fix this by restarting the dynamic ps timer on receiving every
data packet.
