[PATCH v2] mac80211: Don't go off-channel in work_work unless needed.

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If the work to be done is on the current active channel, then
do not call the offchannel and return-to-channel logic.

Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

v1 -> v2:  Remove went_off_channel logic, and don't set
   tmp_channel if we're not going offchannel.
