[PATCH 5/5] mac80211: fix issuing idle calls when device open count is 0

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

 



There are a few places where mac80211 may issue a hw config
but the hw config will be ignored and got into a black hole if
the device count is already 0. Further hw config calls will also
be discarded as the device is already marked as idle, in these
cases mac80211 assumes the radio is idle but the driver never
really got the notification. We need to ensure that places that
will call a hw reconfig with open_count set to 0 will send the
notification to the driver. This forces these checks in a few
other key missing places.

Without this suspend and resume is broken on devices which require
notifying the driver to become idle once the open_count already
has reached 0. This fixes suspend/resume when using new DBus APIs
are used which idle the device in places which had not yet gotten
widely tested.
