[PATCH] mac80211: ignore PSM bit of reordered frames

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

 



This patch tackles one of the problems of my
reorder release timer patch from August.

<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg57214.html>
=>
What if the reorder release triggers and ap_sta_ps_end
(called by ieee80211_rx_h_sta_process) accidentally clears
the WLAN_STA_PS_STA flag, because 100ms ago - when the STA
was still active - frames were put into the reorder buffer.
