[PATCH v2] nl80211: Add notification for dropped Deauth/Disassoc

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

 



Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected
Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to
management frame protection being in use. This notification is
needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement
SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch
between an AP and STA.

This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP
(IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the
station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not
have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7).
IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism.

v2: Address comments from Johannes: replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC
since these events are generated from RX handlers. Remove unnecessary
(and not suitable for this context) wdev_lock.
